________________________________________ NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS LYRICS
 What can wash away my sin?
 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
 What can make me whole again?
 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus. For my pardon this I see:
 nothing but the blood of Jesus.
 For my cleansing this my plea:
 nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus. This is all my hope and peace:
 nothing but the blood of Jesus.
 This is all my righteousness:
 nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus. O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know;
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

______________________________________ O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM LYRICS O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy Birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth O holy child of Bethlehem Descend to us we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels Their great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “O Praise The Name (Anastasis)” Song by Hillsong This song has become one of my favorite songs in recent years that would be considered a modern hymn. It has a quality that compares to others like Death Was Arrested or even This I Believe (The Creed) — another Hillsong gem. Just like last week, I find this song to be an excellent addition around Easter. But really what we are expressing is a year round truth. The song takes us back to the point of Calvary, to the empty tomb, and points us to Christ’s return. As I have been contemplating the blessed hope lately (my current blog series), a song like this ties in marvelously. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it is an encouragement to you in your time of worship this week. As always, feel free to like and share. And if you haven’t already, please hit that subscribe button!

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of "How Great Thou Art" Another hymn that for me stands the test of time is How Great Thou Art. There’s a simplicity about it, especially in the refrain (Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art). Some of the best worship songs today still come back to that simplicity and acknowledge who God is and the subsequent response on our behalf. I also love that this hymn moves through a progression of thought: from the awe/wonder/majesty of God, to the work of the cross, and finally, to the return of Jesus. This song moves through a lot yet with each chorus the response is the same: He is great and worthy to be praised! Would love to hear your thoughts on this song…what has it meant for you as you’ve sung it throughout your life? Maybe you’ve never really heard it before. If so, what is your impression of it from the lyrics and melody? I might be biased with the songs I cover but to me, this is an amazingly beautiful piece of artwork and creativity.

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee: How great Thou art, how great Thou art! And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great You are!

Today’s Devotional - Friday September 9th “No Overnight Success Story” I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6 Question for today: In what area of my life am I trying to fast-track the results, rather than waiting on God? Pray: Lord develop within me a heart that is patient, knowing that the journey with you is just as important as the destination.

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “Holy, Holy, Holy” Posted this one a couple years ago but wanted to dust it off and repost for the COVERS BY DEREK series. Still a favorite hymn and a hymn that takes us right to the throne room of God. We need to sing songs and write songs, I believe, that take that posture in worship. I am eager for the day when we can see Jesus face to face and sing holy, holy, holy in His presence! As always, feel free to like and share.

Following God’s Battle Plan | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | April 28, 2023 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nx_b9-J8_Iw And the LORD said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” Judges 7:7 Judges chapters 6-8 are a case study in following a battle plan that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense; at least from man’s perspective. Gideon is chosen by God to lead Israel into battle against their enemy, the Midianites. When called, Gideon is actually hiding in a winepress threshing grain. Still God calls him a “mighty man of valor” (Judges 6:12). As God prepares Gideon for battle, he cuts his army numbers down…way down. From a size of 32,000 Gideon somehow ends up with 300. From there, the battle itself depended upon two unlikely weapons: trumpets and jars with torches. Yet in all of this, Midian is routed. Surprised by an attack at night, Israel ambushes the camp. When the trumpets are blown, the enemy turns upon itself in utter confusion. Sometimes when God calls us to do something, the plans don’t make any sense. Financially the numbers don’t work out. Physically the toll seems too hard. Mentally and emotionally, we just don’t have the stamina to put forth the effort. But these are all reasons to quit based upon our abilities. God wasn’t looking for Gideon’s ability, only his availability. It was obvious God had another plan as He slimmed the army down to 300. It was obvious God would bring victory in such a way that only He could get the credit. If there’s a plan that seems too big today, good. It’s God’s way of letting you know the battle is His. You just need to obey and be ready for the call. Question for today: What is impossible with God? In light of that, how do I approach the mountains in front of me? Pray: God You are still the God who brought Gideon the victory with just 300 men. Help me trust You for victories today and stop relying upon my own strength.

 HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US LYRICS

 How deep the Father’s love for us,
 How vast beyond all measure,
 That He should give His only Son
 To make a wretch His treasure.
 How great the pain of searing loss 
 The Father turns His face away,
 As wounds which mar the Chosen One
 Bring many sons to glory.

 Behold the man upon a cross,
 My sin upon His shoulders;
 Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
 Call out among the scoffers.
 It was my sin that held Him there
 Until it was accomplished;
 His dying breath has brought me life 
 I know that it is finished.

 I will not boast in anything,
 No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
 But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
 His death and resurrection.
 Why should I gain from His reward?
 I cannot give an answer;
 But this I know with all my heart 
 His wounds have paid my ransom. Why should I gain from His reward?
 I cannot give an answer;
 But this I know with all my heart 
 His wounds have paid my ransom.

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “Love Came Down” Written by Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson, Jeremy Riddle, Ian McIntosh, and Jeremy Edwardson From the self-titled album “Love Came Down” by Brian Johnson One of my favorite worship tunes in the past 10 or so years, Love Came Down is just a simple statement of worship. I don’t know if many people have heard of it as it wasn’t a huge song. But a wonderful acoustic arrangement is available on Brian Johnson’s album of the same name: Love Came Down - Live Acoustic Worship In The Studio. It’s a gem of an album and honestly, when going back and playing this song, I realized I had forgotten just how good the whole album was. And it was at the very start of Bethel Music (which Brian and wife Jenn founded); at the origins of what they were doing. Hope you’ll enjoy the tune and pray that it will lead you into worship and adoration of our Lord and Savior. His love indeed came down and rescued us! As always, feel free to like and share.

______________________________________ THE FIRST NOEL LYRICS The first Noel the angels did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay, in fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord That hath made Heaven and earth of nought And with His blood mankind has bought. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “This Is My Father’s World” This is my Father’s world The battle is not done Jesus who died will be satisfied And earth and heaven be one There’s so much promise and so much hope in just these short verses! I have to take solace in the fact that this world is still in our Father’s hands. It is His creation: He made it and He sustains it. “Tho the wrong seem oft so strong….” Those words ring in my ears as I look around and see the effects of sin: death, decay, anger, bitterness, confusion and so on. But the battle is not done! Jesus died once and for all for sin. His death is not in vain. He is coming again and is looking for a people who are sold out to Him. Who trust, love and obey Him despite what the world looks like. This is my Father’s world and let me never forget that He is still on the throne. Amen! As always, feel free to like and share.

Derek Charles Johnson’s performance of “I Stand Amazed (How Marvelous)” Another hymn that speaks so clearly about the cross and Christ’s sacrifice, I Stand Amazed is a personal favorite. It’s been a song I’ve come back to over the years as a mainstay hymn in many a worship set. To stand in amazement of something to me means just pausing, reflecting, and being in awe of it. That is what the work of Jesus on the cross should do for all of us: it should lead us into wonderment every time we consider it. “My song shall ever be” is a reminder that this hope isn’t just for yesterday or today or tomorrow…it stands for ALL eternity.

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of God’s redeeming love! Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart Lord take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart Lord take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above.

Today’s Devotional - Friday October 21st “It’s OK If Your Team Loses” The testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:3,4 Question for today: If life has been a series of setbacks lately, how am I able to stay resilient and even see my faith deepening as a result? Pray: Lord help me to change my perspective on trials. Help me to see them leading me closer to You and to trust You more. Want to subscribe to the AS BOLD AS LIONS devotional and blog mailing list?

God We Need You! | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | February 24, 2023 LORD, I have heard of Your fame; I stand in awe of Your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 We are seeing a lot happening lately in terms of renewal and an overall hunger within the Body of Christ; especially amongst young people. I believe the hopelessness of this generation has led to a yearning for something deeper and something real. In recent weeks, the altars at several Christian colleges have been filled with students crying out to the Lord. It has been remarkable to see them openly weeping and falling on their faces in worship. It’s a move we have not seen in many years. And it seems to be happening spontaneously all over this land as the Spirit moves. What will be the result? Time will tell. It may be that we do not see immediate change and transformation but a gradual turning of the tide, so to speak. It is amazing to think that a whole generation may be primed to hear the Gospel and they may be a people to draw us back to the Lord. I think of the words of Habakkuk 3:2 as I consider and ponder these things: do Your mighty works again, in our day O Lord! What You have done before, we believe You can do again! Let us pray with expectancy and with fervor: God we need You! Question for today: As reports of revival surface, how am I readying my own heart for personal revival and renewal in the Lord? Pray: God whatever comes of this move, let it bring glory and honor to You. You alone can heal this land. Want to subscribe to the AS BOLD AS LIONS devotional and blog mailing list?

Today’s Devotional - Monday September 12th “Sometimes Faith Leaves Us Limping” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Genesis 32:27,28 Question for today: What need am I contending for before the Lord today? Pray: God just like Jacob wrestled with you and was blessed, I want to press in seeking your will and blessing as well. Want to subscribe to the AS BOLD AS LIONS devotional and blog mailing list?

______________________________________ I STAND AMAZED (HOW MARVELOUS) LYRICS I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean. How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me! He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore my burden to Calvary, And suffered and died alone. How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me! When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, ’Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for me. How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me! How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!

So Much For Good Advice | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | May 12, 2023 His wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!” Job 2:9 One of the most interesting characters in the entire Bible is Job. In an instant, his whole life is stripped away. Virtually no aspect of Job’s life was spared: his family was systematically wiped out and his own physical health deteriorated with boils covering his entire body. The backstory to all of this was that Job was an upright man and the Devil believed he [Job] only trusted God because his life was good. Take away all of the blessings, Satan argued, and Job the man would reject and deny God. The bulk of the Book of Job is the ensuing conversation he has with his wife and friends in trying to figure out why such things have happened. Job knows his character is righteous, but most of the “advice” he gets is to simply admit he has some unconfessed sin, some error, and come clean before God. From Job, we are reminded of a couple things. One, we know that bad things do indeed happen to good people. No one can claim to follow God and find a life of ease. Sin still reigns in this world and its effects still bring harm to the righteous. Second, there is a need to find good counsel when we are in the midst of a storm. In turn, we are to extend good counsel when others are suffering. Job’s friends and his wife proved of little worth when Job was most in need. We can take heed to the need to “stand in the gap” when others are facing difficulty and offer words that bring hope, not despair. Question for today: Is there someone in my life who needs an encouraging word or a listening ear today? Pray: Lord I know from Job’s example that rain falls on the good and the bad. Help me be a person who extends your grace today to someone in need. Want to subscribe to the AS BOLD AS LIONS devotional and blog mailing list?
