Good Gracious God

I invite you to joyfully repent of your doubt in the goodness of God, trying to add something to Jesus, and point you back to the reality of the cross and the operation of the Holy Spirit. 

Repentance is the way back to the freedom in the gospel. 

Steve Brown said, ‘Repentance simply means agreeing with God about what needs to be changed in your life . . . 
Repentance means nothing more nor less than agreeing with God about who you are, what you have done, and what needs to be changed’ 

Steve Childers adds, ‘So repentance should not be seen as merely changing our external behavior but primarily as a willingness to pull our heart affections and our heart trust away from our idols’.

On and On We Go

Love, I have waited for you 
And love, I was wounded for you 
Won't you look into my eyes 
Through the pain and through your pride 
And find I am true 
You're the one I can't deny 
And I'll never leave your side 
I gave my life for you 
So what are you waiting for? 

On and on we go 
Come love take my hand 
On and on we go 
Time and time again 
On and on we go 
Back to where this all began 
Come love take my hand 

Life is waiting for you 
And life I have given to you 
Tell me what else can I do 
What more have I left to prove? 
That I am what you need 
Still I will hold on to your heart 
Through the chaos and the dark 
When your eyes fail to see 
So what are you waiting for? 

On and on we go 
Come love take my hand 
On and on we go 
As you run away again 
On and on we go 
Back to where this all began 

Broken I was for you 
Broken I'm still for you 
My broken heart breaks for you 
Broken I'm over you 

On and on we go 
On and on we go 

On and on we go 
Come love take my hand 
On and on we go 
Time and time again 
On and on we go 
Back to where this all began 
Come love take my hand 
Come love take my hand 
Come take my hand
