Worship Wednesdays is one of seven weekly posts on Lillie-Put dedicated to building a culture of worship. Let’s spend some time undoing the work of the Devil by putting forth the glory of the ONE TRUE KING.

I was looking through music for Sacred Sundays and this song by Fernando Ortega just wouldn’t let me go. I had to listen to it several times just to get it deep in my soul. Worship it with me and then add your own song of praise to Jesus in the comments section.
Fernando Ortega is a modern hymn master and his website can be found HERE
When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals, whoever enters by the north gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate. No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. Ez. 46:9
This passage is filled with symbolism. When you go to church this morning will you leave different than you came or will you come out the same way you went in?
Sacred Sundays is a fresh visit to some old hymns. Here is a a version of Come Ye Sinners originally written in 1844 and redone by Fernando Ortega and Amy Grant.
Add your own modern/ancient praise in the comments section below and let’s build a culture of worship together.
Words taken from cyber hymnal
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power.
Refrain
I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms.
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, God’s free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh.
Refrain
Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you’re better, You will never come at all.
Refrain
View Him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies. On the bloody tree behold Him; Sinner, will this not suffice?
Refrain
Lo! th’incarnate God ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood: Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude.
Refrain
Let not conscience make you linger, Not of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him.
In our study through the Book of Romans we have come to chapter 1 and verse 20.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
In light of that verse we have been discussing the invisible attributes of God as described by A.W. Tozer in his book The Attributes of God.
Today we are discussing God’s quality of Omnipotence. These two videos help us to understand the incredible unlimited power of God and how that is expressed in creation.
In addition to all your other detestable practices, you brought foreigners uncircumcised in heart and flesh into my sanctuary, desecrating my temple while you offered me food, fat and blood, and you broke my covenant.8 Instead of carrying out your duty in regard to my holy things, you put others in charge of my sanctuary.9 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and flesh is to enter my sanctuary, not even the foreigners who live among the Israelites. Ezekiel 44:7-9
CHILD OF GOD, WHERE HAVE YOU LET THE WORLD’S VOICE IN TO DICTATE YOUR PATH IN PLACE OF GOD’S VOICE?
It’s time to raise up a shout that will break the heavy yoke! It’s time to shake off the chains that life has bound us with and proclaim liberty in praising Jesus!
This week the daily post has called us to show ONE LOVE in photos. Now there’s a challenge I can rise to. See how others rose to the challenge by clicking the underlined link.
Here is my interpretation of ONE LOVE
“But the man who is not afraid to admit everything that he sees to be wrong with himself, and yet recognizes that he may be the object of God’s love precisely because of his shortcomings, can begin to be sincere. His sincerity is based on confidence, not in his own illusions about himself, but in the endless, unfailing mercy of God.”
― Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island
“If you have never known the power of God’s love, then maybe it is because you have never asked to know it – I mean really asked, expecting an answer.”
― Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat
“God is the creator of love. He demonstrated His love to you through the sacrificial death of His Son. The closer you draw to God the more you will demonstrate your love for others by becoming a living sacrifice by putting others before yourself.”
― DeWayne Owens
