Trading Trouble

"Now is My soul troubled.... He [Jesus] was troubled in spirit.... Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me" (John 12:27, 13:21, 14:1).

How troubled was our Savior's soul
In those times He contemplated
The price He'd pay to make us whole,
The trouble for our peace He traded.

This is truth that makes us free,
Not just any truth will do:
It's knowing Jesus died for me
And that His promises are true.

It's knowing that He was forsaken,
So that I might never be.
It's knowing love that can't be shaken;
This is truth that makes us free.

It's knowing that He freely took
Our burden of iniquity.
Upon His hands and feet we look,
And see the price of liberty.

So let not your heart be troubled;
What gracious words we hear Christ say!
Grandest kingdoms turn to rubble,
But His words won't pass away.

Come to Jesus, troubled friends!
Lay your trouble at His feet.
This is where your trouble ends
And your freedom is complete.

The Word


Before the world was given to the sky and light shined. There was only GOD. Jesus in the father and the Son and Spirit come. Identity is important now to everyone they make the mark come true the need for a number to identify the ewe is there is it the social security and the drivers license and the number on her hair bottle fragrance sweet. They have not created the number on the head or in the hand not yet. There is still some time to live there is still some time to chant and worship GOD with teacher is okay today there is still time created when the world began for love and talking some to chat complete. The poet can still write the word that bleeds he writes his love. The scanner at the market scans the code but it is still upon the food still getting old and has not come upon the user getting younger in his age not yet as the beast is getting ready in the market place for that we must soon refuse then to partake of all the waste. And clinging to the namme sake the living namme called JESUS there will soon now be a clear choice to make.
