The Deadly Silence
Silence. At times it can relieve you from a head ache or help you to consentrate at other times it can cause literal death. As well as spiritual. Let's go back to World War Two Germany. What happened here? The holocaust. The most evil thing probably ever dreamed up in modern times. Even American slavery couldn't compare. IT was horrible as we all know. Millions of Jews were killed. Some people had there heads cut off and shrunk them. Men and women who had beautiful tatoos would often have them ripped off so that there skin could be tanned and make a beautiful book cover or something. Some were burned in ovens. Hotter than any regular oven could get without breaking. After the Allied forces had freed all of these awful camps they said that they did not know what had been going on.
Of course we know that this is a lie. But you see less than 10% of the population at the begining was Nazi. But they were scared and let that get in the way of there morals. So it led to one of the worst wars in the history of the planet. All because a Deadly Silence. In the same way many people are dieing spiritually without getting to know christ for in John 21:15-17 it says: So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said unto Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?" HE said to him "Yes Lord, you know that I love you." He then said to him Feed My Lambs."
He said to him again a second time,
"Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?"
He said to him: "Yes Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, "Tend my Sheep."
He said to him the third time, "Simon, Son of Jonah, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he had said it to him the third time, "Do you love me,"said the Lord."
And he said to him: "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you!" Jesus said to him, "Then feed my sheep.
This tells us to testify to the world. For if we are quiet wether it be by mouth or by spirit. Don't be a part of the dead silence.
Songs:
O , LORD , MY GOD
WHEN I , IN AWESOME WONDER
CONSIDER ALL THE WORLD’S THY HANDS HAVE MADE
I SEE THE STARS I HEAR THE ROLLING THUNDER
THY POWER THRU OUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED
CHORUS :
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE
HOW GREAT THOU ART HOW GREAT THOU ART
THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY GOD TO THEE
HOW GREAT THOU ART HOW GREAT THOU ART
2:
AND WHEN I THINK THAT GOD
HIS SON NOT SPARING SENT TO DIE
I SCARCE CAN TAKE IT IN THAT ON THE CROSS
MY BURDENS GLADLY BEARING
HE BLED AND DIED TO TAKE AWAY MY SIN
3:
WHEN CHRIST SHALL COME
WITH SHOUT OF ACCLAMATION
AND TAKE ME HOME WHAT JOY SHALL FILL MY HEART
THEN I SHALL BOW IN HUMBLE ADORATION
AND THERE PROCLAIM MY GOD HOW GREAT THOU ART
REPEAT CHORUS :
TAG :
HOW GREAT THOU ART
HOW GREAT THOU ART
HOW GREAT THOU ART
HOW GREAT THOU ART
Who am I You are mindful of me
That You hear me when I call
Is it true You are thinking of me
How You love me
It's amazing
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
God Almighty
Lord of Glory
You have called me friend
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
You call me friend
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
