🗣️How Were You Treated🗑️

God does not change - and neither does His love. He loved you before you were born... He loves you now...and He will love you forever.   ~ Billy Graham ~

Colossians 4:1 (KJV) Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

How do you want to be treated? Would we not all hold up our hand and say I would like to be treated with respect. So the question we must ask ourselves are we treating others with respect?  In Matthew 6:12 (KJV) we read this little phrase “And forgive us ” those words are in what is called the Lord’s Prayer. One day, one of Jesus' disciples asked Jesus to teach them something. They had been walking with Him and being around Him on a daily basis. As these men listened to Jesus they also noticed something else, that Jesus spent time talking to His Heavenly Father. They also wanted to learn how to pray, so they asked.

Luke 11:1 (KJV) And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Lord teach us to pray! Notice how the verse reads. “as he was praying in a certain place” Jesus had a certain place He went to pray. One day  one of His disciples asked Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Now as we read on there are something’s to pick up on. Jesus never told His disciples they needed to have a special place or time for prayer. Read what Jesus did say”When ye pray” whatever time whatever place, whatever schedule you have to pray “When ye pray” Luke 11:2 (KJV) And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

The first thing we must ask ourselves is, are we praying? If we aren’t praying, if we are not asking, Lord “forgive us” then how are we going to be able to forgive others? We are good at saying “that’s not what I meant, I should have used different words.” “Oh I’m sorry it was just a misunderstanding, that’s not at all what I was talking about.” 

I wrote all that to say this: If we are not willing to realize we ourselves need forgiveness then we may not be willing to forgive others. We are all leaders of others. No we may not be speaking about leadership abilities in front of 100’s or 1000’s but we are all leaders to someone. Maybe it’s just your husband or wife. Maybe your children or maybe you are the supervisor over others. What you do and say is very important because you are either building up or tearing down. What did you do when you let your temper speak this morning to your wife or husband? Your children may have heard, what are you going to do about that? What about that person that’s under your supervision? Yes problems need to be addressed but how they are addressed and handled is very important. We may need to ask ourselves’ have I ever made a mistake? How would I like to be spoken to? “Masters, give unto your servants” give, build, strengthen. Telling someone they are dumb and what in the world were you thinking? That may not be the correct way to address or handle the matter. Why shouldn’t we lead like that? ”knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.” Is that the way we want our Heavenly Father to treat us? I wouldn’t think so.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.'       ~ Billy Graham ~

Respect for instruction is what the rest of the chapter is teaching. 

Colossians 3:22 (KJV) Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: Don’t get upset at the word “Servants” pride may jump up within us and say “I’m not anybody's servant. The truth be known we are! Webster says this about the word SERVANT “A person, male or female, that attends another for the purpose of performing menial offices for him,who is employed by another” Well I guess we can all fit into this meaning. If you are employed there is someone over you, your boss, supervisor someone telling you we have to get this done today. Like it or not you do it. We are told what type of attitude we should have. Attitude is everything, our attitude mirrors out toward others that work with us and look up to us. Colossians 3:23 (KJV) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

“And whatsoever ye do” doesn’t matter what we are doing or who we are doing it for “do it heartily” With zeal; actively; vigorously.  Eagerly; freely; largely; not for your boss nor your company but “as to the Lord” that type of attitude will change our perspective. If our supervisor were to say “we need to get this project done in the next 8 days and if we do there will be a nice bonus added to your check.” Wow, now we work harder to get it done, weekends, all the sudden didn’t matter, getting it done is what mattered. Well that's good but it’s doing it for men and that’s fine but it’s when we aren’t doing it for men that matters.  

Colossians 3:24 (KJV) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Our attitude should be with zeal and eagerly that what we should be working toward. Yes it’s great to please men but our goal should be that we are doing things in a manner that will be pleasing unto the Lord. Why? Because  verse 25 closes with these words “there is no respect of persons.” The place you work for may have a nice meal after the project thanking everyone for their hard work. Most of the time the one thanking everyone will say something like this “I want to thank everyone for their hard work, for their sacrifice and long hours which without we could have never accomplished this project. Then that group of hard working employees may hear the speaker say “and I want to give a special thanks to Joe Miller for keeping this project on track for without his input we might have never completed it.” Now this is the time it will show who you were really doing it for. How that part of the speech affects you will determine who. If we are not careful we will let the respect of a special person affect our attitude. What’s the correct answer and how should you or I respond to that? Who we were doing it for in the first place. If we were doing it for men, respect toward another will affect our attitude; you might say something like this “Joe Miller is a nice guy but without us Joe i nothing.” On the other hand if you are doing it for the Lord your attitude shouldn’t change, bonus, dinner, and speech won’t matter. Why? Because God ”is no respect of persons.” Including Joe!

🤔Think Before Speaking🗣️

You can't control the length of your life. You can control the depth     ~ Billy Graham ~

Colossians 3:21 (KJV) Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

“Fathers” Why not mothers? Don't mothers provoke their children? {to stimulate (especially to anger} You know they do from time to time. So why is only “Fathers” mentioned? Let me explain it this way. I was talking to my grandson this morning and he began to tell me about a superintendent over the job he was working at. I guess he thought I didn’t know what a superintendent was. Because he told me he was the one who made sure everything on the job ran smoothly. I said this because it doesn’t matter if it is a construction site, corporation, small business, candy store, our home or whatever someone has to be responsible or in charge. 

Ephesians 5:23 (KJV) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. In the home it just so happens it’s the husband. I know that doesn’t sit well with all but God said the “husband is the head” there is always someone in charge. Fathers are the head of the home they are not to discourage their children. If the dad is not to discourage then he may be the one who is to encourage. Many children never hear words of encouragement from their dad. Well if they aren’t hearing words of encouragement then they are more than likely hearing words of discouragement. Oh what a difference it would make in our children’s lives if they  were hearing words of encouragement.  My business has taken me into many homes over the years. The man I worked for when I first started taught me a valuable lesson that has helped me tremendously. He said no matter what type of home you go into, always find something there that you can say encouraging words about. That is not hard: the baby, the child, the picture, the dog, the way the room is arranged and many more ways, just look. Myself as well as everyone else wants to hear kind encouraging words. I was in one of my accounts at a post office and I noticed that a lady had changed the way she was fixing her hair. I told her “I like the way you have your hair fixed now.” I was just being nice and giving words of encouragement and letting her know she wasn’t just another lady sorting mail that wasn’t  noticed. This was her response: “I wished my husband would notice.” Oh my I wasn’t expecting that. Fathers, husbands provoke not “lest they be discouraged.” I gave her words of encouragement being kind but what she really wanted was that her husband give her those words. It’s easy to notice the bad, it takes work to notice the good. What have you seen today?  The young boy cut the grass for his dad hoping to hear some type of words of encouragement from his dad. His dad arrives home from work. His son was looking out the window hoping his dad would notice that someone had taken time to cut the grass. His dad got out of the car, stood still, looked over the yard and then went straight to the tool shed. He then turned the lawn mower over and went into the house. He found his son who was hoping to hear words of encouragement; only to hear words of disengagement of how he had chipped the lawn mower blade. We as fathers must remember lawn mower blades and the likes can be replaced but children can’t. Think before you speak. 

 

🏃‍♂️‍➡️I’m going to 🏃‍♂️‍Eat well 🍲 and live long🧌 Wrong Plan❗️

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It rests in Christ who is coming again. — Billy Graham —

Colossians 3:20 (KJV) Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Children are very vulnerable. When I was a kid some Saturday’s my brother, me and some friends would jump on our bikes and take off. We might go miles from home and wouldn’t come back for hours and some day not until late afternoon. That wasn’t a problem back in those days but today things are much different and I have to ask myself why? Now I agree we went to places that mom and dad told us not to go. One place was Carol’s Lake. It was a lake off the road and down in the woods about 3 or so miles from the house. It wasn’t a public lake but a private lake where no adults were present. It could be very dangerous thankfully no one ever drowned there that I know of. Nonetheless, we disobeying our parents by going there. The Bible is plain “Children, obey your parents” that would be honoring. God told us to honor our parents 

Exodus 20:12 (KJV) Honour thy father and thy mother: It’s the only commandment with a promise from God if you do so. “that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Who doesn’t want a long life? I read a story of a young man in his late 20’s that was going on a trip with his friends. This young man’s mother asked him not to go because she didn’t feel comfortable about it. The young man talked with his mother trying to get her to change her mind but she would not. His friends put the peer pressure on him  calling him a mother’s boy and other little names trying to get him to go but they couldn’t. The day came for the trip and his friends boarded a plane and took off on their trip. About 45 minutes into their trip the plane began to have problems and soon crashed in the ocean killing everyone on board except the young man who obeyed his mother who wasn’t on that plane. I know that’s a simple story but it shows the promise of what God said. If we honor our mother and dad our days will be long upon the land more so than diet and exercise. That’s A Written Promise From God Himself. 

Psalms 119:140 (KJV) Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it. Don’t you just love God's Word?

💃To Intoxicate To Care🙈

We hurt people by being too busy. Too busy to notice their needs. Too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. Too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. Too busy to care.   — Billy Graham —

Colossians 3:18 (KJV) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

 Wait a minute is the wife being told or asked to be submissive in all things?? Of course not and here’s two reasons why. Wives submit yourselves “as it is fit in the Lord.” Then in verse 19 we read 

Colossians 3:19 (KJV) Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

“Husbands, love your wives” a loving husband is not going to ask his wife to do what’s not fitting with the Lord. We read of a King in the book of Esther chapter 1 by the name of  Ahasuerus as we began to read. We read that King Ahasuerus made a feast and invited other leaders to come.  Now on the seventh day; can you imagine food and wine, all you could eat and drink and now on day 7, oh my this isn’t going to end well. 

Esther 1:10 (KJV) On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

I just don’t think this is going to end well!! What did the King command? Read it for yourselves.

Esther 1:11 (KJV) To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.

No loving husband would do such. Alcohol makes you do wrong things. The King sends for his wife and he wants her to do what? I think you get the picture here. Her beauty was not just in her facial features, remember the King is asking to bring his wife into a room of men who have been drinking for a week. Now is she to be submissive to her husband's wishes? Let’s read how his wife Vashti responded to his request.

Esther 1:12 (KJV) But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: Oh my this is an awful request and the results of refusing not just her husband but the King could end in death. How did the King feel about this rejection in front of not just men but leaders? He too had been drinking for a week therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. The point I am making is that a husband that loves his wife is not going to ask her to do such. Wait a minute I might be wrong, just the other day I saw a husband and wife and she was dressed so your eyes didn’t see her face. That was worse than King Ahasuerus was asking his wife to do. Oh that’s different, yeah I guess it is that man wasn’t drunk he knew what he was doing.

❤️‍🔥One Night of Selfish Pleasure🚼

 It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts. — Billy Graham —

Colossians 3:16 (KJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

there it is again “Let the” in verse 15 we read “let the peace of God rule” here in verse 16 it’s “Let the word of Christ dwell” for anything to dwell  it abide as a permanent resident. I live or dwell at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. To let the Word of God dwell you first have to have the Word of God. In Psalms 119:11  We read this “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” in order to let the Word of God dwell, you have to be doing something to know how to let it dwell. Have you ever hid anything? One can’t hide something if they don’t first have it to hide. David’s purpose was to keep himself from sinning. Wait! Wait a minute, is this not the David that became King of Israel? The one that had the affair with Bathsheba, the wife of  Urias? The same David that had the main part in Urias’s death? Yes it's all true. But let us not forget David even though he was a King appointed by God he was still a sinner. I would say it was set up by none other than satan himself. Like the fruit in the garden with Eve. The anger of Cain, the alcohol of Noah, the disobedience of Abraham, and on and on we read of great men and women failing God. Don’t just read and remember the failures, oh no these men and women personally asked God for forgiveness. And God used them greatly.Temptations come into our lives and many but not all are by our enemy the devil. I like what Billy Graham said “It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts.” Yes King David saw, then he looked and the look lingered and then he partook of that which was not his. One night of selfish pleasure cost him a lifetime of regret. We all are sinners, we can't help that. We will fight sin all our lives, that's a fact. The problem comes when our sin doesn’t trouble us. When we like David, work to cover up what we have done. If our known sin does trouble us we then must ask ourselves this question, why not?

🆕Put On Charity♥️

Don't worry about what you can't do; focus instead on what you can do... and then do it.

— Billy Graham —

Colossians 3:12 (KJV) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Colossians 3:13 (KJV) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

“Put on” We read that phrase 3 times in this chapter. In verse 10 we read put on a new man. Then in verse 12 we read that after we have put on the new man it bring mercy, kindness, humbleness, meekness, long suffering. Then we read “forgiving one another” and then the example of forgiving “as Christ forgave you” But you don’t know what they did! No, but I know what Jesus Christ did and if anyone should be unforgiving it should be Jesus for what you and I did to Him. We don’t own enough paper and pens to write that down. Then in verse 14 we read Colossians 3:14 (KJV) And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Don’t you just love it “above all these”  Don’t do all the above out of a "I have too attitude but instead do it out of a loving attitude. Because it is out of the bond we have in Christ Jesus and He is perfect. Remember the saying “what would Jesus do?” In order to know what Jesus would do we first have to have a bond with Christ Jesus. That word “bond” jointed together, cements together. ¡Put on “charity”!

🫣See You At The Party💨🎂

 Colossians 3:9 (KJV) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

As Colombo would say “there’s just one more thing.” “Lie not one to another” That’s a very hard thing for us to do. We just have to from time to time, everybody does it. I understand. Let’s say you are planning a surprise birthday party for your wife. On the way home from work you stop at a bakery to order the cake. It takes a lot longer than you had expected it to. Which puts you later getting home. As you walk in the door your wife asked the question you were hoping she wouldn’t. Why are you so late? What’s your answer? Depending on how inquisitive your wife is to how your answer would be. If not too inquisitive “oh I stopped to check on something.” But if she is really inquisitive I can’t see how you aren’t going to have to lie here. I’m sorry I’m not going to be much help here because my wife is inquisitive. The reason we aren’t to lie one to another is because? “ye have put off the old man with his deeds;”  I’m glad for that word in verse 5 Mortify; put to death. To be truthful with you I’m still putting to death lying. Because if my wife would have asked me why I was so late (and she would have) I would have told her a lie. You might say I can’t believe you would do such a thing? Well what was I supposed to tell her? That I had stopped by the bakery to order a birthday cake for your surprise party this coming Saturday at 2 o’clock. I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to that. I’ll. Ask my Pastor this morning and I’ll let you know what he says. Well this thought of lying with the question above has intrigued me. I talked with 3 individuals and one said well that’s different. I was not really satisfied with that answer. Another said yes that would be lying. Once again I wasn’t really sure either. I asked one last person and this is what they said no that would not be lying because a lye is the act to deceive. Then I thought I would see what Webster had to say. Webster “To utter falsehood with an intention to deceive”  The above question was not to deceive but to temporarily hide. You’ll have to decide I’m still not sure. I can hear my kids saying thanks a lot for ruining mom's surprise. Here’s the answer, you kids pick up the cake.  Now I’m off the hook for you see 

 “Lie not one to another” see you at the party.

📴Putting Off ✴️

The more one walks in the wrong direction the further away they get from that which is right.

Colossians 3:8 (KJV) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wraft, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

We’ll have you? “put off” As my Pastor said “one never takes off, that he doesn’t put on.” In verse 10 we read just that. Colossians 3:10 (KJV) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: In verse 8 we read what’s being removed. First thing “anger” have you or are you working at putting off your anger??? Maybe you have allowed your anger to get out of hand. That’s what “wraft” is: violent anger. What about “malice” injuring others without a cause? Do we think before we speak about others?  My mother used to say to us “sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Nice saying for a kid but in real life words others speak can and do hurt. You don’t have the time to read what others have said about me that really hurt. You know what? The same is true with you my reader. Bottom line, words do hurt and do real damage at times. How about “blasphemy” an injury offered to God by words or writing that are reproachful, denying that which is due and belonging to God or attributing to God that which is not agreeable to His nature. Is the next word after blasphemy a coincidence or on purpose? I think the next word “filthy communication” which comes “out of your mouth” is right on target. Angry words, violent words, injuring words, denying words which most likely will result in filthy words.

🤬Filthy Words👂

You don’t have to know much when you come to Christ. You don’t have to know the whole Gospel. You don’t have to know the Bible. You just come like you are.   Billy Graham

Colossians 3:7 (KJV) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

We just wrote about “when ye lived in them” our lifestyle, how we were living. But there’s more “In the which ye also walked” walking is the art of moving forward, gaining ground so to speak. A progression, if you will. The journey of 1000 miles began with the first step. I, like you, have read of a person being caught embezzling money from a corporation and over time it be came a large amount. Why didn’t that person stop with the first embezzlement? The same reason many can’t stop with the first drink, taking the first drug, the first whatever? Maybe because they think they got away with it or they liked it. Whatever the reason it was a moving forward of their walk in doing wrong. The more one walks in the wrong direction the further away they get from that which is right. Did you notice the way that verse was written? It uses the past tense “walked” that would refer to a way one used to walk, not the way they are walking now. What changed their walk? We read why in verse 4 of chapter 3 when Christ who is or became our life, that’s what made the difference. It wasn’t us trying to do better, live better or even walk better. No we have all tried to do that ourselves, it all had to do with Christ in our life. When you use bad language how does that make you feel? We can justify it or we can by the help of our Lord stop using it. Ephesians 4:29 (KJV) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. We can’t talk out of both sides of our mouth. We can’t say glory hallelujah on Sunday and then on Monday say go to_ _ _ _ to others.  James 3:12 (KJV) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

In Colossians 3 we read past tense “walked” and   “when ye lived in them” not both, when we want to fit in. Past tense,  when we used to do that but not anymore. Like The Apostle Paul said we have hearers and that bad language doesn’t build up others. All it will do is confuse and break down.

⏳When Ye Lived 🌃

Don’t worry about what you can’t do; focus instead on what you can do and then do it. ~Billy Graham~

Colossians 3:7 (KJV) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

That is exactly what you would expect. If somehow a person came into a lot of wealth what would you expect to see? Do you think Bill Gates lives in a really nice double-wide? I don’t think so. Oh know we are reading about living in them.  In what? A life of sexual sins. Oh, I’m not doing any of that so I’m good. Think so? Well does any of these fit your lifestyle? 1 Corinthians 6:9 (KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1 Corinthians 6:10 (KJV) Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Then notice what the Apostle writes next.

1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV) And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

And such were some of you? Sounds like those words in Colossians 3:7 “when ye lived in them” something changed, what was it and how. One can’t live what they don’t have. I can’t live like a billionaire nor like a millionaire. Know why I can’t? Because I’m not. Paul is saying that something wonderful has happened. At one time you were doing sexual sins, you were a thief, a drunk, greedy, you used abusive language, but not anymore. Paul says here’s what made the difference: “but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” You are “washed” made clean; You are “sanctified” made holy; you are “justified” just as if none of those awful things ever happened; How Can this be? “in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” If you were given a check today for 62 million dollars your lifestyle would change. Oh but in Christ your lifestyle will also change. Here’s the difference the 62 million dollars no matter how well you keep it growing when you are dead it’s all gone. Now in Christ you never lose, you only gain. Wealth in this life and in the next too.

 You will never understand who you are until you understand who God Is. ~Billy Graham~

Colossians 3:6 (KJV) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Who are you really? How would someone describe you? Like those we read of in verse 5 they just keep watering the wrong thing because there was no real change in their lives and now the wrath of God. A while back I went back to the Church I was saved in. It was a Saturday and my oldest son and I drove to Atlanta. I had in the car a picture of me and my son standing in front of the Church bus I used to drive. My son was about 4 years old and I was much younger myself. The Church was having an open house. When we arrived he and I went into the lower part of the Church where they had a table set up. I began talking with the man sitting at the table. I asked if he was the Pastor? He said no and just about that time the Pastor walked up. I began to tell him why we were there. He asked if we would like to go up to the sanctuary? I said yes. As we entered the doors I could see little had changed. My mind raced back 50 years and memories rushed back into my mind. I began to tell the Pastor of the day the Lord Saved Me. I went to the pew where I was sitting that morning. Then back to the pulpit where the preacher was preaching. Then I repeated what the preacher said then I went back to the pew and walked out just as I did that Sunday morning long ago. I went to the place where the preacher was standing and repeated what he said to me. He said “are you a sinner” I said yes; it didn’t take much thinking to answer that question. I asked the Lord to Save me and He did. That day my life changed for eternity and I began to put to death the things I knew were wrong. Here’s the strange thing: I didn't do that because they were wrong, why I already knew that. I began to put them to death because of my love for the Lord and what He had already done for me. In verse 5 we read of all those sexual sins

Adultery, perversion, passion, lust. Then we read verse 6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

The wrath of God? Oh my 😳the Lord doesn’t  like those sexual sins. They may be enjoyable today but there’s a payday coming. I’m glad that the Lord changed my life and eternal direction from children of disobedience to a child of God. John 1:12 (KJV) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

That day the Lord saved me from many, many things, but that’s what the Lord does, doesn’t He? Don’t let time erase those memories. If you don’t have any memories of the day the Lord saved you. Well, start your memories today you’ll never regret nor forget.

Since then I walk in forgiveness

All of my guilt was erased

The chains of the past

Are broken at last

I got saved

Oh, I got saved

I'm undone by the mercy of Jesus

I'm undone by the goodness of the Lord

I'm restored and made right

He got a hold of my life

I've got Jesus

How could I want more
