Before the throne of God above

Performed by: Selah

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!

Eternal Law


By: Elle G. White
“The law of God existed before man was created. The angels were governed by it. Satan fell because he transgressed the principles of God’s government. After Adam and Eve were created, God made known to them His law. It was not then written, but was rehearsed to them by Jehovah. – {SR 145.1}
The Sabbath of the fourth commandment was instituted in Eden. After God had made the world and created man upon the earth, He made the Sabbath for man. After Adam’s sin and fall nothing was taken from the law of God. The principles of the Ten Commandments existed before the fall and were of a character suited to the condition of a holy order of beings. After the fall the principles of those precepts were not changed, but additional precepts were given to meet man in his fallen state.” – {SR 145.2, Ellen G. White}

Sick-day Sabbath

By: Gabriela Yareliz

Today, I am anti-social and sick. I feel better than I did last night. I hope this is as bad as it gets, because believe me, at school the last two rows of my property class are like the cloud of death. Everyone sneezing and coughing.

I have been taking weird concoctions of wheatgrass, vitamin C and echinacea. I have been sanitizing everything, and yet I am here–it could be worse though.

So, because I missed church today, I thought I would post some stuff that inspired me today.

1. Life is like a vehicle. There is no reverse, but don’t speed… just enjoy the ride.

2. “Nothing else matters anymore, than knowing you are fulfilling the purpose for which you were placed on the Earth–because once you have that, you are now alive.” Tony Evans

5. Tony Evan’s: The Concept of Calling, Part I

Sometimes, in life you feel you are blindfolded on the edge of a cliff–but the just shall live by faith.

This week’s picks: Jan. 28, 2013 (last of January)

By: Gabriela Yareliz
This week has been so strange. It has been overwhelming. More reading, assignments and cold calls than ever. I got an offer and accepted a fantastic internship that I never imagined I would be working in (thanks for the prayers guys), and I helped head up a panel that was a complete success, thank God.

Also, I will admit the heart has been feeling fly– it has been an excellent week. Very overwhelming but soarin’.

My friend/doorman told me this week: Don’t believe anything is impossible, because with God, all things are possible. Even when there is no human way out and everything looks crazy or you feel trapped, it is only an illusion. The sea will be opened for you.

Believe in the impossible; expect the unexpected; never give up; be humble; allow providence to unfold.

Lift up your head

Lift up your head

By: Gabriela Yareliz
Lift your head, the crown may fall.
You are a child of the Most High God.

He is owner of all in the world,
and will only give you His best.

Fear not if you lose something or sparkles fade.
He is standing by with Amazing Grace.
Things won’t be perfect, some things will bring pain–
in the end you may not be the same.

Withstand the test, and don’t lose your game.
Never doubt His goodness, never doubt His plan–
Never doubt that He is always holding your hand.

Do not be saddened and dry all of your tears,
the King of all Kings is your Father, here.

Lift up your head and act like who you are;
royalty darling, a child of the Most High God.

The Same God

Song by Lilly Goodman

That you heal the hurt;
and you give the blind man sight;
that you teach how to forgive;
I have heard all of those things and more…

That you help the fallen and give him words of faith;
that in you, people find peace;
all those rumors I have already heard…

And today, here you see me;
after so much searching, I found you;
and while bowing to your feet,
I confirmed what I had heard about you:

You are the God that transforms lives and
you give a way out when one prays with faith;
that God that breaks chains and the heart fills if you open it to him.
The God who says all things have changed and been made new;
the God that does miracles bigger than the ones He did yesterday.
The God that I want to adore and more than honor–
It is a pleasure to know you.

That you give hope and can change tears for a smile and more,
I read that somewhere…
That you calm the storm and can divide the sea,
I thought they had exaggerated,
but today, I see it is true.

And today, here you see me,
after so much searching, I found you,
and while bowing to your feet,
I confirmed what I had heard about you:

You are the God that transforms lives and
you give a way out when one prays with faith,
that God that breaks chains and the heart fills if you open it to him.
The God who says all things have changed and been made new;
the God that does miracles bigger than the ones He did yesterday.
The God that I want to adore and more than honor–
It is a pleasure to know you.
