You never sinned,
You still died,
You helped people that were bound
They turned on You
We were doomed to death,
But, You made a way.
I want to thank you, My God
for Your blessings, for grace, and wisdom,
No-one else could do
What you did for me,
I just want to thank you, My God.
You fed five thousand people,
When there was little food
You gave sight to the blind
You helped us, when we had challenges,
Yes, You made a way.
You brought the dead to life
You would be a light
You provided a way,
when there was none,
Yes, You made a way.
I want to thank you, My God
for Your blessings, for grace, and wisdom,
No-one else could do
What you did for me,
I just want to thank you, My God.

We all talk about the good old days, our families, and precious memories
of our childhood and the past, but do we take time to remember the works
of God's hands? Do we stop and take time out of our busy days to
simply give the Lord thanksgiving and praise He deserves?
Scripture tells us God inhabits the praises of his people. He lives within
our praises, our lives, and our hearts. He's worthy of all glory and honor
given Him. The poem above was written by a young man in his teens, who loves the
Lord with all his heart. His thoughts were for a song.
Justin has overcome many obstacles and the Lord has His hand on him, to use him for
His glory and honor. His grandparents, the Norris family, have also been through the storm, but had
Jesus, the Master of the wind and the waves, with them. He's brought them out and shown He is still in control of every situation. Prayer changes things! No matter how dark the night may
be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In our darkest nights, Jesus is the light.
We hope you will enjoy the words of the poem, and the song of praise, reminding us to stop and take time to remember God's
great grace and blessings on our life and give thanks to Him.
Thank you, Justin, for being a young person who has a heart for God and others.
Your thoughts inspire us all to thank the Lord, for He truly did make a way!
May He be glorified today, for His mercies endure forever.
God Bless,

Isaiah 53:
5-11 5But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his
mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from
judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the
land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither
was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it pleased the LORD to
bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering
for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of
the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of
his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
