I give you Glory Glory

Today's Devotional
Brought to you by Prayer Team Member Bobbi Heffel


After a day of sneezing, coughing and chills I awoke this morning feeling much better with this song on my heart. 

By Klaus from the Worship CD Glory, recorded Live at CFNI in 2008 




It was your words
It was your cross
Just a moment there you set me free
I give you GLORY GLORY
Jesus
You saved me
And rescued me
With a crown of thorns, you became my king forever

It was your words –
I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance
(to the full, till is overflows).
 John 10:10b (Amplified Bible)

It was your cross – sin and death were defeated
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.” Isaiah 25:8
“Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” Hosea 13:14
1 Corinthians 15:54-55 (NIV 1984)

Just a moment there you set me free –
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
                2 Peter 3:7-9 (NIV 1984)

I give you GLORY GLORY – You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
 Revelation 5:11-13 (NIV 1984)

Jesus – Son of God
But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
Hebrews 1:2-4 (NIV 1984)

You saved me – no man come to the Father except through the Son
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
 John 14:6 (New King James Version)

And rescued me – I was lost in self and sin
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:4-6

With a crown of thorns, you became my king forever –
They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
Matthew 27:28-30 (NIV 1984)

It was your words
 It was your cross
Just a moment there you set me free
I give you GLORY GLORY

PRAYER
Lord, I am humbled at all you went through so that we may enter into your kingdom. You have given such great sacrifice and love that I am in awe. Thank you could not even began to be enough to express how great full we are for all you have done and will do. May you be pleased as our hearts  sing praise to you.

Today's Devotonal

By Prayer Team member Bobbi Heffel

As I was spending time with the Lord this morning this song came rushing to my mind, and my heart began to soar. Lord I lift you name on high, Lord I love to sing your praises.

Lord, I lift Your name on high;
Lord, I love to sing Your praises;
I'm so glad You're in my life;
I'm so glad You came to save us.
You came from Heaven to earth;
To show the way,
From the earth to the cross,
My debt to pay,
From the cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky;
Lord, I lift Your name on high!

VERSE
Psalm 7:17
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. King James Version (KJV)

PRAYER
Lord, what a pleasure it is to sing your praises! You love us so much that our minds have trouble comprehending it. And every time we think we know how much you love us, you show us yet another depth of your love. To the one who is, and was, and is to come, be all glory and honor amen!

He is still changing lives today! Check it out!

Writer

"Lord, I Lift Your Name on High" is a Christian worship song. Both lyrics and music were written by Rick Founds in 1989.

Founds wrote it during his morning devotion, while reading the scriptures on his computer monitor, and watching television, he plucked his guitar at the same time.

He thought of the "cycle of redemption", comparing it with the water cycle.

You came from heaven to earth, to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave, from the grave to the sky
Lord I lift your name on high

Founds played the song as a worship leader in his church. It was picked up by Maranatha! Music and initially recorded by the Maranatha! Singers followed by the Praise Band.

Promise Keepers used the song in English and Spanish in their drives.

Since the 1990s, it has been one of the most popular Christian songs.

In the United States Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI) reported Lord I Lift Your Name on High as the most popular song used in churches every year from 1997 to 2003, and since then has remained in the top ten. Currently it is the sixth most popular.[1] CCLI UK report it as the fifth most popular printed, projected or recorded song in mid 2006.[2] In Australia this song was the seventh most used song by the beginning of 2007[3]

There have been many interpretations of the song by many artists in all styles: gospel, R&B, soul, rock, dance, reggae, hip hop, rap, soca, ska, punk, a cappella amongst others and has been translated to a number of languages and recorded in a number of countries.
