Amazing grace by John Newton
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound
The wondrous Good
News shared
That saved a wretch like me.
Grace is
undeserved by all
I once was lost, but now I am found,
Though I could not
find God He came to me
Was blind, but now I see.
My
spiritual eyes are now open
'Twas grace
that taught my heart to fear,
Grace revealed my
filth and guilt from sin
And grace my fears relieved.
Grace revealed
salvation's cleansing power
How precious did that grace appear
OH THE WONDROUS
JOY OF SALVATION!
The hour I first believed.
My eyes were
opened the moment I received grace
Through
many dangers, toils and snares
Remember what God
has brought you through
I have already come,
Remember who you
were
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
God's prevenient
grace revealed
And grace will lead me home.
Grace guides me in the Way to God
The Lord
has promised good to me
The Lord's promise
is true
His word my hope secures;
The Living Word
Jesus and the Bible the written word
He will my shield and
portion be,
Jesus is my home
and protector
As long as life endures.
As long as this life endures onto blessed eternity
Yea,
when this flesh and heart shall fail,
When my body fails
And mortal life shall cease
Go from mortal to
immortal
I shall possess within the veil,
Behind the veil in
the Temple was the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelled
A
life of joy and peace.
Joy is found in all situations where happiness depends on situation
Peace is to have a full and complete relationship with God and others
When
we've been there ten thousand years
Ten thousand is 10
X 10 X 10 X 10. Ten is a positional number and four is special
because of four directions of earth and the Gospel must go to all
four corners
Bright shining as the sun,
Could say bright
shining because of the Son
We've no less days to sing God's
praise
Jesus is the
eternal and constant Light of Heaven so there is no night
Than
when we've first begun.
Heaven is to be eternaly present with God

Psalm 57:5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth.
Define exalted. (Use a Bible dictionary.)
Is the psalmist calling for God to be exalted above the heavens, for the God above the heavens to be exalted or could it be both?
What do you think Let Your glory be above all the earth mean? Does it help you answer the question before?
I exalt God
Above heavens
Above earth
The glorious God

Psalm 49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him.
Why will this person lose everything when he dies? (You must always see how a verse fits within the chapter and the Bible.)
What kind of glory would this person have?
Why do you think his glory will not descend with him?
IF I give up God
do I lose my glory
If I die without God
do I lose my glory

Psalm 49:16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased;

Fear love of wealth
Do not fear glory
Fear love of glory

Psalm 30:12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Do you sing praise to God other than during services?
Should you sing often and not be silent?
If the Lord is your God shouldn't you give thanks to God?
How can you give thanks to God forever?
I sing my song to God
My song praising God
My song glorifying God
My song thanking God

Psalm 29:9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
Voice = voice, noise, sound, thunder, send out, thunderings, fame. (From Strong's)
How does God's voice cause deer to give birth?
How does God's voice strip the forests bare?
Would you give glory to such a God?
God spoke Creation to be
God breathed life into us
His voice guides Creation
His voice guides all of us
Heaven holds its breath.
God’s people cry out in Iraq, in Syria, in Iran, in Egypt, in Russia, in the Ukraine, in Mongolia, in the Sudan, in Haiti, in the Orient – all around the world.
The Angels listen, surely this is the time!
Horns are prepared, Angelic hands grip swords and they listen!
Surely the Father will rescue His children now!
Surely the Heavenly Host will be set free to destroy those who would dare to hurt God’s beloved, the bride of His Christ?
They look to the Throne ready at the moment!
The Saints around the Throne look to see the Father. Will they ride with their Beloved today? Will they go to rescue those they love, part of their own Body?
Will God set everything right today?
Brothers and sisters look up. They want to see the Throne. Is it worth it? Will they see God? Now all they see is hatred, cruelty and murder. They see the burning fire of Satan in the eyes of men who say they want to serve Allah!
Oh Allah! The detestable name that enslaves people destroys others and blinds to the true God who came to die for His enemies not kill them! Allah, more like a demon from hell than a merciful God, who laughs at Fathers murdering their children, husbands enslaving their wives and daughters and at those who would offer their children as to Molech! Will the Heavenly host ride today? You look over your shoulder in fear. Is that the sound of trumpets you hear?
As the earth screams in pain and fear – Heaven holds its breath!
Will He ride today?

Psalm 29:3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; The God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters.
What does this statement mean: The voice of the LORD is over the waters?
How does God's glory thunder?
Does this remind you of a storm? If so how?
Thunder rolls from on high
Water falls down from God
The water becomes waters
Spreading the glory of God
Glorify God everyone
The glorious God
The holy God
The Creator God
From nothing created
From darkness Light
Holy Spirit hovering
Darkness cast away
Light of Creation good
Light and dark separated
Day and night created
First day sets God's order
God spoke in Creation
Firmament is separated
Waters above and below
Above named heaven
Firmament water gathered
Dry land God called earth
Waters God called seas
God said all created good
God said let grass come
Herbs which bear seed
Trees bearing many fruit
God said all created good
Read Genesis chapter 1
Celebrate the Creator God
Celebrate God's Creation
Celebrate God's fullness
Read Genesis chapter 3
See the power of evil
The power to separate
Price of pride and lust
See power of saying no
Power of seeing results
Of remembering God
Of loving Creator God
Glorify God everyone
The glorious God
The holy God
The Creator God

I want to give unto God
What to give unto God
To give glory unto God
Give strength unto God

Psalm 26:8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of Your house, And the place where Your glory dwells.
Meditate on this verse and ask God to reveal Himself to you.
Define habitation from a Biblical dictionary.
What is God's house?
Where is the place God's glory dwells?
I love being with God
At times I leave in fear
But I always return
I need to be with God
