All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Thinking about Ron Payne.

I was sitting here thinking about Ron Payne. He is friend to many here on AAG. I wish I hadnt have taken advantage of our friendship and instead stayed intouch... I always run. I still have a few emails from a few years ago from him. He is such a godly person. I so hope that he heals from the stroke and his wife heals from her ailment. I sometimes start to get angry toward God. Thinking of how Ron is always trusting God and spending so much time spreading Gods word that this stroke has to happen and what his wife is going through. I visited his page here today and noticed the lyrics to a song

.SING - A - L O N G AND BE TOUCHED

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US
HOW VAST BEYOND ALL MEASURE
THAT HE SHOULD GIVE HIS ONLY SON
TO MAKE A WRETCH HIS TREASURE

HOW GREAT THE PAIN OF SEARING LOSS
THE FATHER TURNS HIS FACE AWAY
AS WOUNDS WHICH MAR THE CHOSEN ONE
BRING MANY SONS TO GLORY

BEHOLD THE MAN UPON THE CROSS
MY SIN UPON HIS SHOULDERS
ASHAMED I HEAR MY MOCKING VOICE
CALL OUT AMONG THE SCOFFERS

IT WAS MY SIN THAT HELD HIM THERE
UNTIL IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
HIS DYING BREATH HAS BROUGHT ME LIFE
I KNOW THAT IT IS FINISHED.

I WILL NOT BOAST IN ANYTHING
NO GIFTS NO POWER NO WISDOM
BUT I WILL BOAST IN JESUS CHRIST
HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION

WHY SHOULD I GAIN FROM HIS REWARD
I CANNOT GIVE AN ANSWER
BUT THIS I KNOW WITH ALL MY HEART
HIS WOUNDS HAVE PAID MY RANSOM
