The world surrounding us at present would make the bravest hearts fear. Confusion, chaos, war, rumors of war, deceptions all around. Truth is indistinguishable in the blur of information being disseminated at lightening speed around the world. So many people. Different ideologies. Each believing only they know the truth. Ah, but there is one who is truth Himself-Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. Furthermore, He loved me from eternity past. Willingly He Sacrificed everything that I might be redeemed. Thereby love has won the victory and He gained everything by giving everything. And I can gain everything when I give all I am to Him, then love has won the victory in my life over fear, over sin and over pain.
Romans 8:11
if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you
Ephesians 1:17
the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what the hope of his calling is, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:And hath put all things under his feet
Love Has Won the Victory
As darkness filled the noon day sky The earth shuddered and did quake A trembling as God's heart did break As wrath and hate screamed crucify
Christ humbly left His throne above Forgiveness for mankind to buy He knew the tears His heart must cry And yet, He came because of love
And when it seemed that all was loss Their pardon was His final plea His Gift of Grace for all to see He bowed and died upon that cross
The Father’s love, it was so great Awake, my son, arise awake He called Him forth a new dawn break Pure Love had conquered death and hate
Love had won the victory
Joy rang forth a wondrous sound Hope and life that did surround Giving faith for all with eyes to see That Love Has won the victory
My heart so filled with darkest fear Shattered by evil, hate and pain Falling torrential like the rain Anguish filling every tear
Through broken cracks God’s love shone in He wrapped me tightly in His arms And there so free from all life’s harms Forgiveness, joy, and love did win
Love had won the victory Joy rang forth a wondrous sound Hope and life that did surround Giving faith to all with eyes to see
So, Open wide your eyes to see
That Love Has won the victory
Don’t fall into some dark abyss With pain and guilt that pull you down Until you feel that you may drown Look up to God, In Him is bliss
Love has won the victory Joy rings forth a wondrous sound Hope and life they do surround Giving faith to all with eyes to see So, Open wide your eyes to see That Love Has won the victory
