"You're Still Lord"

Good Morning!
“When I was just a child I heard a beautiful story…”
The other day the lyric popped out of my memory … along with the sweet memory of Grandma Ward’s cousin, Cud’n Kate. You see, it was Cud’n Kate who sat a young boy of seven down and talked with him about Jesus. That young boy was me. Now I admit that my understanding was limited … and that I wandered far from where I should have been before a red and white bus picked me up … but the constant that was there was the Lord Jesus Christ. He was and is as good as His word … He will never leave us or forsake us. Here’s the rest of the song written by Lanny Wolfe:

When I was just a child I heard a beautiful story
How You loved me so You died on Calvary
And though I claimed You way back then as Lord Almighty
Things haven't changed
My love is still the same
You're still Lord to me

CHORUS
You're still Lord, You're still my Father
In little or much, I feel Your touch
You're still Lord

You're still Lord, You're still my Father
You'll always be mine for all time
You're still Lord

VERSE 2
Some have called you Lord but now they serve another
To worldly things their heart has pledged it's loyalty
But as for me when I made my choice it was forever
And now as before but now even more
You're still Lord

CHORUS
You're still Lord, You're still my Father
In little or much, I feel Your touch
You're still Lord

You're still Lord, You're still my Father
You'll always be mine for all time
You're still Lord

TAG
You'll always be mine for all time
You're still Lord to me

With all the turmoil we face in today’s world … with crises of all different types … the one anchor we have is knowing that Jesus Christ is STILL Lord of all. Now I know there are those who would take issue with my saying that Jesus is Lord of all. They would want to deny His power and His authority – claim that He was just a common man who had a fervent following in His day … but “they” would be WRONG. Because, you see, I believe with all my heart that one day each and every knee will bow and each and every tongue will confess – both of the living and of the dead – that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It is my Lord who carries me throughout each and every day. It is my Lord who makes intercession for me to His Father, our God. It is my Lord who is preparing a place for me so that He and I might dwell in that beautiful place we call “Heaven”. It is my Lord who is coming to get me and take me home. Just the thought of it thrills my soul.

“When I was just a child I heard a beautiful story …” And now, so have you …

Agape’
