Introduction
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1 -2
Rejoicing in the hope of the glory of God - I want this to be my life. In joys, in pain, in the highest victories and deepest sorrows of life, God is at work, God is in control, God is Father, God is for His people. We have joy now, for He has revealed Himself to us in Christ. We will see Him, and our joy will be complete.
I write, I compose, I sing, because I want to find new ways to say GOD IS GLORIOUS! In His power, in His plans, in His mercy, in His acts, in His love, and in Himself, there is none greater, none more worthy of all wonder, love, trust and praise.
I hope these songs will provide you with great encouragement as you sing to God and each other.
