Love Lifted me up, Heaven came down (and Glory filled my soul!)

Wonderful time in worship yesterday, praising God for my family and God's healing. Alpha weekend is this Friday and I sent a message to Rob and Ron before church "Praying for heaven to bring many home. Grateful for your faithful ministry, let's never give up." 

Our first praise song was "Love Lifted me up", this is the Gospel - God is near to the broken hearted. My father in law was near death and he was given a new life. The next song was "Heaven came down and Glory filled my soul!" This was my favorite song as a child, I would direct the choir (from the front row pew) and Jeremy was giving the same gestures today. 

Love Lifted me up

I was sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore, 

Very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more

But the master of the sea, Heard my despairing cry,

From the waters lifted me, Now safe am I

Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me

Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me

Souls in danger look above, Jesus completely saves

He will lift you by his love, Out of the angry waves

But the master of the sea, Billows His will obey

He your savior wants to be, Be saved today

Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me

Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help Love lifted me


Heaven came down

O what a wonderful, wonderful day - Day I will never forget

After I'd wandered in darkness away - Jesus my Savior I met

O what a tender, compassionate friend - He met the need of my heart

Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling - He made all the darkness depart

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul)

When at the cross my Savior made me whole (made me whole)

My sins were washed away - And my night was turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!

Born of the Spirit with life from above - Into God's fam'ly divine

Justified fully thru Calvary's love - O what a standing is mine

And the transaction so quickly was made - When as a sinner I came

Took of the offer of grace He did proffer - He saved me, O praise His dear name

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul)

When at the cross my Savior made me whole (made me whole)

My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul

Now I've a hope that will surely endure - After the passing of time

I have a future in heaven for sure - There in those mansions sublime

And it's because of that wonderful day  -When at the cross I believed

Riches eternal and blessings supernal - From His precious hand I received

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul)

When at the cross my Savior made me whole (made me whole)

My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul)

My sins were washed away And my night was turned to day

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
