Romans 5:7-9 (Amplified Bible)
7Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die.
8But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.
9Therefore, since we are now justified, (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.
Romans 5:7-9 (The Message)
6-8Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
9-11Now that we are set right with God by means of this sacrificial death, the consummate blood sacrifice, there is no longer a question of being at odds with God in any way. If, when we were at our worst, we were put on friendly terms with God by the sacrificial death of his Son, now that we're at our best, just think of how our lives will expand and deepen by means of his resurrection life! Now that we have actually received this amazing friendship with God, we are no longer content to simply say it in plodding prose. We sing and shout our praises to God through Jesus, the Messiah!
If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better
Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am
I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

This is a very good song with a powerful message. This is what agape love is all about, accepting people just like they are.
I fall short so many times Sita.. I want the world according to me.
Only God 's love is perfect, pure and perfect. I am supposed to accept others just like Christ accepted me.
Hi Casey, Beth, Amrita,
Thanks for dropping by. I am so glad that God's love is beyond what I can comprehend, because like Amrita said, we fall short...but He knew that before we were even formed, and formed us anyway, and then proceeded to love us anyway as well..thank you, Lord.
Blessings to you all.
Love, Sita
What a quirky unique song Sita. Never heard one like it but I love the lyrics and beat. I love to be introduced to new songs on TSMSS.
Love the song! And, love your post on pinpoint prayers!! Be specific; be biblical. Get to the point, all the while being reminded of what God's Word says is true.
Thanks for this.
peace~elaine
Sita,
I read your previous posts.You're going way back.
Larry Norman. Randy Stonehill.
Yes, I remember them.
My husband still gets up on Sunday mornings before we go to church and plays their albums.
The round kind.
They still have a message, don't they?
Sweet dreams, sweet friend.
Hey Deb,
Not sure what you mean by 'way back'--to my 2007 posts??--or to my revealed age--in Larry Norman and Randy Stonehill?? (-;..yep, I go way back, as my sons say to the dinosaur age...funny you still have those 'round' discs, huh? The message is timeless for these guys--and I include Keith Green with them. What a guy!
Hi Debbie, "Quirky"! That was the word I was looking for when I said 'soulful'...so I edited. Thanks! have a great weekend.
Hi Elaine,
Always love seeing you. That book on prayer has blessed me. I'll be posting more later.
Blessings to you.
Love, Sita
