Scripture Lyric Lessons with Patter Cross - #10 - Worn

This challenge hosted by Patter Cross on her blog HERE this time features a song and group I have not heard of. Please visit Patter's blog to find the link to hear the song - Worn by Tneth Avenue North

The words in the song that stood out to me are the ones I have used on my digital page. There are times I feel this way but it is so wonderful to grab hold of the promises of God and know He never leaves us and all we need do is acknowledge Him and ask for His help in all that we do. We have no need to feel "worn" but we do. He loves us and does bless us with those "winter and spring rains" in life's journey.

Scripture Lyric Lessons Challenge with Patter Cross - #9 - Broken Hallelujah

Patter has given us a song I had not heard before but the words from the song that I have shared on my digital artwork is so true for me.  Sometimes I feel I do not spend enough time in prayer but I am reminded that even being aware of God's presence with me as I go about my day is being in pray with Him as I ask him for help in the different tasks of my day.

Scripture Lessons and Lyrics by Patter Cross - #8 - Life My Life Up

I have been having a busy time lately and not getting to my computer so much but I did get a page created for this fortnight with Patter. Please visit her blog HERE. You can read her devotional thoughts and see a link to the song. I had not heard of this one before.
With some plans happening in my life lately the words from the song that I have used on my digital art piece stood out to me. So then I went to the Bible Gateway website to find a scripture that would work well with those words.
The plans are nothing serious... just my husband and I this week booked a cruise to travel from Australia ( where we live) to New Zealand where my brother lives. My brother is excited about us coming to visit and see the home he has made with his wife in New Zealand.  I went on a cruise way way back when I was only 23. My husband has never been on one. It should be an adventure for us both.

Here is my page:

Scripture Lessons Lyrics Challenge by Patter Cross - #7 - How Deep the Father's Love

This fortnight Patter has chosen to share a song I have sung often and really enjoy to sing. I urge anyone who visits my blog to please pop over to Patter's blog HERE and read her devotional thoughts and also go to the links she shares to hear the song sang and the writer of the song explain how the song came about. After reading what Patter teaches and listening to the song and singing along to the song, tears welled in my eyes.
As Patter asks... "Are you living as a purchased possession of Christ?".. I realised my answer is no!!! but oh how GREAT our Father's love is that He loves and forgives.
The first verse of the song is all about ME... I am that wretch or was that wretch.. I am surely now, His treasure and I intend to live the life I should do to bring God the honor and glory He deserves.


My page is totally digital and I enjoyed putting together. I used papers from Because He Lives by Kathryn Estry; Photo mask by Indigo Designs; wire hearts from Little Moments by Aprilisa; stitches from Sea Breeze by Lindsay Jane. Fonts - Playball and Aarh

Scripture Lessons and Lyrics Challenge with Patter Cross - #6 - Until the Whole World Hears

Once again a song I had not heard before. Please visit Patter's blog HERE so you can read Patter's teaching, read the words of the song and listen to the song via the link that Patter shares.

The words from the song that I have used on my page ( totally digital - too busy this week to do anything hybrid) stood out to me.  I so want to be a better witness for our Lord. I felt the scripture - Isaiah 52:7 went with these words.
We need to be willing to share the good tidings which is the truth of salvation to really be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Scripture Lyrics and Lessons Challenge with Patter Cross - #5 - Let Them See You

Again Patter has chosen a song I had not heard before by a band called JJ Weeks Band. Please visit Patter's blog  HERE to read her teaching and also find the link to the song if you would like to hear it sung.

When I read through the words of the song the words I have used on my page really stood out to me and straight away the scripture I have used came to my mind. Then the following day God's perfect timing that the Daily devotion my husband and I read each morning related to these thoughts. I will share the ending prayer and quote from the devotion:
Help me, Lord, to use my words not to tear down others or build up my own reputation, but to seek the good of others first, and in so doing to serve You and Your Kingdon.

and the quote which is a proverb from the Bible:

Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles. - Proverbs 21:23

Here is my small page which is displayed in a CD case:

Scripture Lessons and Lyrics Challenge with Patter Cross - #4 - Good Morning

Another song this time that I do not know. Please visit Patter's blog HERE so you can read her devotional thoughts and visit the links to the song.

When I saw the words in the song which I have shared on my little card ( CD case size as that is how I display it), "Wave away my yesterday 'cause I'm leaving it behind me"; the verse from Psalm 103 came to my mind.  Our sins are forgiven and removed from us as far as the east is from the west. We can say goodbye to yesterday and leave it behind as it is gone.
Like the words in another song, all we need to be concerned about is "one day at a time".
