A Branch in the Vine

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.

Song of the Week: O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

November 19, 2024/ jan

The ocean speaks to me about God … the bigness of God and the littleness of me.

This could be a frightening thought were it not for the fact of God’s amazing, unconditional love for me. I picture myself in those beautiful ocean waves of God’s love, enveloping me and overcoming all the “stuff” I face.

Oh, the Deep Deep Love of Jesus

Song by Audrey Assad

Oh-oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me

Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of His love
Leading onward, leading homeward to
Thy glorious rest above

Oh-oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to Thee

Oh-oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He loveth, ever loveth
Changeth never, nevermore
