Hallelujah, Jesus is ALIVE!

Today
Jesus rose from the dead
Today
We have victory over sin and death through Him
Today
We rejoice because He LIVES, and we can face the future unafraid and secure
Today
I end my life as a civilian for 18 years
Today
I prepare to go fight battles for nation
Today
More importantly, I go to fight battles for God

For my meditation during BMT

Near the Cross- Frances Jane Crosby

Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain.

Refrain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross,
a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.

Near the cross!
O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadows o’er me.

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
