Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the maker of the heavens

Hey there. As someone who has had 20 years and is going on 21 in two months, I’m praying that you still find the light of the Lord in front of where you step.

It’s not always going to be a perfect life. There will be trials and you will be tempted to fall.
But with the Lord in your life, you have the gift and ability to choose to get back up.

Keep pushing on, keep that smile on your face, and always and forever keep your eyes open for what God wants you to see.

You’re gonna go far in Him!

Just did 🙏. Ask the Lord to forgive you like David did, and He will wash you & bring refreshing to your soul:

Psa 51:1-3 " Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. "

Wheelchair, I pray that God will fill you with his grace, love, and forgiveness! Stay firm in your belief because he loves all of us no matter our faults, or sinfulness. Pray for forgiveness and stay on his words in the Bible! God Bless you my friend!

Kelsi Daniels

We’re all wrapped in sin..
There’s nothing you can do to earn his forgiveness, because he gives it freely. Seek him and the rest will follow.

Jessica Goetz i agree 100% Jessica Goetz. God is everything you need in our world. He protects us from the devil whose name we will not say because the devil wants us to do the exact opposite of how the Lord rules. Give your life and God will give you ETERNAL LIFE. I can't wait to get to Heaven and actually have a face to face conversation with the One who made me. THIS SONG IS EMPOWERING AND JUST A GREAT REMINDER WHAT HE DID FOR US

I'm so alone no one seems to care, Of the pain I feel or of my despair. I pray to God each day-and-night to deliver me into his light, And when I feel no hopes in sight feel lost alone so cold at night, That's when I hear a voice within that says be strong for soon you'll find him, The one God-sent for all your sins, From up above the great reward, The comforting love of Christ our Lord.....

Dear Jesus, I can only praise you. It amazes me that you accept the prayer of a man such as me. Compared to you Lord, I am less than a speck of dust not worth your consideration, yet you call me friend and considered me worth dying for. You took a punishment that was mine and made it yours giving me hope of salvation. It is unbelievable that I mean that much to You, yet I take you for Your word. I am so unworthy of Your Grace and Mercy. Your Word is my soul's comfort and my path's guide.

I have been a part of the faith for about a year now, babtized in the Church of the First Born, Ive never regretted my decision. It's the best thing ive done in my life. To be nearer to God and Jesus is such a great feeling, and I return the feeling they give me by following them. This is a very inspirational song and I fell in love with it when I first heard it on the radeo.
