music monday// swallowing death, breathing life

Hi giys!!! I hope you’ve had a meaningful and lovely easter celebration. today’s song is one I’ve come to love to listen to and sing! Many people find it hard to believe the fact that Jesus died and was raised by God to life. Well, this walk with God is by faith and the Scriptures attest to all the historical details we need to believe.

The unchangeable truth is that Jesus did die for our sins and God glorified Him by raising Him from the dead on the third day. As John 3:16 says “for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

swallowing death, breathing life~ john tibbs

Death has no hold on me,

Fear’s lost, I’ve been redeemed

Jesus has made me heir.

To joy that’s found in peace

Grace, hope and wondrous things

That which may not appear on earth here, below

On earth here, below

You raised Your right hand,

Swallowed death and despair

With Your unfailing love

You breathed Life into my soul

You breathed Life into my soul

Like ocean’s foaming rage,

Your love destroys all hate

Jesus has conquered death.

My sin, it has no name

My shame, has been erased

For You have paid my debt on earth here, below

On earth here, below

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy, holy, holy are You Lord

Holy are You Lord, Holy are You Lord.

“it was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, ‘Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.’ When He had said this, He breathed His last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, ‘surelythis was a righteous man.’ “ luke 23:44-47

“as they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. ‘don’t be alarmed,’ he said. ‘you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.” mark 16:5-6

“you killed the author of Life, but God raised Him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.” Acts 3:15

“surely He took our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5

“…day and night they never stop saying: “holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” ” revelations 4:8

If you have not decided to believe in Jesus for the salvation of your soul, I urge you now to please do believe. His plan for your life will bring you an inner peace and your life will be more meaningful and eternally purposeful. He is always ready to listen when you talk to Him. believing in Him doesn’t mean everything will automatically become perfect, no. but you sure will find meaning and have a profound peace through the issues of your life. And heaven will await you! How splendid!

and if you already believe in Him but you’re not being passionate about pursuing Him, it’s time to wake up!  I hope you don’t just go through the motions of this celebration season, I hope you remember that Jesus is the center of it all and He yearns to be at the center of your very life.
