Day is Breaking!!!

Over the last couple of weeks we have had the wonderful joy of singing the song “Jesus Saves” written by Travis Cottrell. If you are not familar with the song, I could not recommend it to you enough. Below are the lyrics:
Hear the heart of heaven beating, “Jesus Saves. Jesus saves.”
And the hush of mercy breathing, “Jesus Saves. Jesus saves.”
Hear the host of angels sing, “Glory to the Newborn King.”
And the sounding joy repeating, “Jesus saves.”
See the humblest hearts adore Him. “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
And the wisest bow before Him. “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
See the sky alive with praise, melting darkness in its place
There is life forevermore, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
He will live our sorrow sharing, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
He will die our burden bearing, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
“It is done!” will shout the cross, Christ has paid redemption’s cost!
While the empty tomb’s declaring, “Jesus saves.”
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking, God is making all things new.
“Jesus saves.”
Oh to grace, how great a debtor! “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
All the saints who shout together. “I know that Jesus saves.”
Rising us so vast and strong lifting up salvation’s song,
The redeemed will sing forever, the redeemed will sing forever, the redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves.”
“Jesus saves.”
One verse of the song continues to repeat over and over again in my head, bringing joy and wonder to my soul.
He will die our burden bearing, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
“It is done!” will shout the cross, Christ has paid redemption’s cost!
While the empty tomb’s declaring, “Jesus saves.”
Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, night is quaking, God is making all things new.
“Jesus saves.”
What an amazing truth!! Our resurrected Lord is making all things new, enslaved sinners are being set free, the darkness is giving way to the light; the Gospel is the hope of the world.
Amos 9:11-15 says:
“In that day I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and all the nations who are called by my name,” [1]
declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them on their land,
and they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.
Be encouraged, day is breaking….. Jesus Saves!!!
Yes! As the sun rises in the east and
ajcarterYes! As the sun rises in the east and points us to the truth that day is breaking, so East Point Church desires to point people to the Son and remind them that a new day has broken because our Savior is risen. He is risen indeed!
Amen brother, Jesus Saves!
This hymn resonates with me also. When we sing,
Laura GettlerThis hymn resonates with me also. When we sing, “The redeemed will sing forever,” I think of my mother who loved to lift her voice and I know she is singing praises to the Lord in His very presence. How refreshing to remember that God does make all things new in forms we can not comprehend!
Yes Mrs. Laura, these words are so true and comforting!
