THE NAME OF THE LORD |
ANDREW |
Andrew became Jesus' first disciple. His method of introducing others to Christ was by inviting them, one-on-one, into His presence. Not one to step out on stage to proclaim the good news, Andrew took a more personalized, individual approach to share his discovery of the Messiah with others, including his brother Simon (later to become the apostle Peter). He also brought to Jesus the boy whose loaves and fish were miraculously multiplied to feed 5,000 followers. "The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus." -- John 1:41-42 |
Lyrics and music copyright 2004 Rick Robinson I have come with news of the promise The one we have been waiting for And to bring to you this life-giving truth I come in the name of the Lord Those who thirst have learned of his mercy And dream of eternal reward For He feeds them all when they heed His call And come in the name of the Lord For the Lord has come and we are His children Free from the prison we knew Won't you come and see The miracles our God can do Who are we to think we are worthy Of grace we could never afford? We are those who are one, the daughters and sons Who come in the name of the Lord. For the Lord has come and we are His children Free from the prison we knew Won't you come and see The things the Almighty can do Take this gift; discover His power For He is our shield and our sword Because now is the time and this is the hour To come hand in hand with your sisters and brothers Come with your thirst and with all of your hunger Come in the name that's above any other Come in the name of the Lord. |
