Bethel Music feat. Jenn Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it wasn't for Your kindness toward me
You've been closer than a friend could ever be
There is nothing on the Earth that could take Your place
I am undone
For You see all there was and all that will be
Yet you've set your vast affection upon me
Who can compare to You
Who moves my heart the way You do
Who can compare to You
Who moves my heart the way You do
Kingdoms come and kingdoms fade
But always You remain
Ages pass and seasons change
But always You remain the same

Jesus Christ is the son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory. Come be saved eternally and spend time with Him to know Him. Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need.
We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen hallelujah praise God thank you Jesus . 🙏
I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Jesus, please pour out blessings. May Your favor, grace and mercy be upon the world. In Jesus name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Jesus name amen thank you Jesus praise God 🙏
Jesus, Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Jesus should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Jesus for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more. 🙏 🔥
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land. 🙏 💖
People need to turn from their wicked ways, Jesus paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple. He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. We live in obedience to His law, every word if it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️
Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin. Stop sinning you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus name may you see and know the truth in it's fullness.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Jesus is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
Jesus said If you love me you will obey my commands.
Love Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥
Praise God so awesome 🕊️❤️ 🙏 🔥
Hallelujah Jesus 🕊️🙏
In Jesus mighty name 🙏🔥🕊️ 💖

Lyrics for those who want to worship together:
God our Father, Lord of all
Great Creator, You hear my call
God our Healer, God our Strength
Loving kindness is Your embrace
It's who You are
Jesus, Friend above all friends
Laid down Your life that I might live
Faithful Shepherd of my soul
Savior, You have made me whole
It's who You are, oh
Holy Spirit, Comforter
Your eyes are filled with laughter
You are wisdom, You are life
My every need, You supply
It's who You are, oh
Whoa, Woah, Woah
Holy Holy, Lord of all
Holy Holy, Lord of all
Worthy Worthy, Lord of all
Worthy Worthy, Lord of all
