All the world is grasping after
Pleasures that could never satisfy.
They grope in the darkness,
Not knowing what is happening or why.
They don't know they're groaning
For sons of God to manifest the Christ.
They don't know they need Him; Yes!
They need the Son of God to give them life.

Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.


God so loved the world
That He gave His Son, the Babe of Bethlehem,
That anyone who trusts Him
Is forgiven and no longer is condemned,
And any who believes in Him,
As a babe in Christ, is born again,
With pow'r to grow to fullness, Yes!
To die to self and fully live in Him.

Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.

The clatter of this earthly realm,
Rushing here and there to meet it's goals,
There is no rest or comfort
For those who let the world take control,
But there is just one Person,
One Lord and Savior Who can make them whole.
And all who choose to seek Him know
That He gives peace and rest to weary souls.

Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.

Bible Study: The Manifestation Of The Sons Of God

Romans 8:17-25 And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but because of Him who subjected it on that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. And we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, awaiting adoption, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope; for what anyone sees, why does he also hope for it? But if we hope for that which we do not see, then we wait for it with patience.

John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 14:26-29 But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard how I said to you, I go away and I am coming to you again. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I go to the Father, for My Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens you might believe.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:2 But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:4 so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:5-6 For they who are according to the flesh mind the things of flesh, but they who are according to the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace

Romans 8:7 because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8-9 So then they who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

Romans 8:10-13 And if Christ is in you, indeed the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of the One who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up Christ from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die. But if you through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption (placing of a mature son) by which we cry, Abba, Father!
