Precious Saints,

Tears kept coming into my eyes as I was listening to this song (on my ipod) on the way into work this morning on the bus......quite a surreal experience......have had a different kinda week, cancelled cell group, won’t be able to go to mens' group at Salem tomorrow (Matt’s soccer) and then we have decided to go to a family braai instead of evening service at Goodwood Methodist(apologies to you Pete love to be there for your sermons)

The apostle Paul wrote this almost 2,000 years ago;

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galatians 6:14)

So on the day of Eid as the Muslims break their fast of Ramadan I will boast only about the cross of Jesus Christ my saviour and don’t burn their holy book the Koran just pray for them, point them to the cross.

Please cover Adam in prayer, he is preaching at 8.30am on Sunday morning at his home church in Durban and Peter C, he is preaching 6.30pm at Goodwood Meth.

Songwriters: Mark Hall, Bernie Herms

Up Calvary's mountain one dreadful morn
Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn
Facing for sinners, death on the cross
That He might save them from endless loss

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

"Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed
Even while His lifeblood flowed fast away
Praying for sinners while in such woe
No one but Jesus ever loved so

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me
Dying for me

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Oh, how I love Him, Savior and Friend
How can my praises ever find end?
Through years unnumbered on Heaven's shore
My songs shall praise Him forevermore

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him on Calvary's tree
Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading
Blind and unheeding, dying for me

Blessed Redeemer, precious Redeemer
Seems now I see Him
