Why Have You Chosen Me lyrics and accompaniment



                        
Why have you chosen me from Melbert Glenn Dellumes

 Why Have You Chosen Me

Why have You chosen me
Out of millions Your child to be
You know all the wrongs
 That I have done
Oh how could You pardon me,
 Forgive my iniquity
To save me give Jesus Your son

But Lord help me be
What You want me to be
Your words I will strive to obey
My life I now give,
 For You I will live
And walk by Your side all the way

I am amazed to know
That a God so great could love me so
 He’s willing and wanting to bless
His love is so wonderful,
His mercy so bountiful
I can’t understand it I confess

But Lord help me be
What You want me to be
Your words I will strive to obey
My life I now give,
For You I will live
And walk by Your side all the way

And walk by Your side all the way

Sinner Saved by Grace lyrics and accompaniment



                             
                    
Sinner saved by grace from Melbert Glenn Dellumes

Sinner Saved by Grace By
Gaither Vocal Band
If you could see what I was once
 If you could go with me 
Back to where I started from
 Then I know you would see
A miracle of love that put me
 in its sweet embrace 
and made me what I am today
just an old sinner saved by grace

I’m just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death 
He took my place
Now I grow and breathe in freedom
 With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven 
backed with a livin’ 
Im just a sinner saved by grace

How could I boast
 on anything Ive ever seen or done
how could I dare
 to claim as mine
 the victories God has won
Where would I be
had God not brought me 
gently to this place 
Im here to say Im nothing but 
a sinner saved by grace

I’m just a sinner 
Saved by grace
when I stood condemned to death 
He took my place
Now I grow and breathe in freedom 
With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven 
backed with a livin’ 
Im just a sinner saved by grace

Now I grow and breathe in freedom 
With each breath of life I take
loved and forgiven
backed with a livin’
 Im just a sinner saved by grace

Saved by grace.
 
 

My Life is in Your Hand lyrics and accompaniment

                             

                       
My life is in your hands from Melbert Glenn Dellumes

My Life is in Your Hands

Life can be so good.
Life can be so hard.
Never knowing what each day
Will lead to where you are
Sometimes I forget,
And sometimes I can’t see
That whatever comes my way,
You’ll be with me.

My life is in Your hands.
 My life is in Your keeping.
I’m never without hope,
Not when my future is with You.
My life is in your hands
 And though I may not see
Clearly I will lift my voice and sin
Cause your love does amazing things.
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands.

 Nothing is for sure.                                             
Nothing is for keeps.
All I know is that your love,
Will live eternally.
So I will find my way,
And I will find my peace.
Knowing that you’ll meet my every need.

My life is in your hands.
My heart is in your keeping.
 I’m never without hope,
Not when my future is with you.
My life is in your hands.
And though I may not see
Clearly I will lift my voice and sing,
Cause your love does amazing things.
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands.

When I’m at my weakest point
You carry me.
Then I become my strongest Lord
 In your hands.

My life is in your hands.
 My heart is in your keeping.
I’m never without hope,
Not when my future is with you.
My life is in your hands
And though I may not see
Clearly I will lift my voice and sing
Cause your love does amazing things.
Lord, I know, my life is in your hands.

I trust you Lord,
My life is in your hands.






Home lyrics and accompaniment

 


Home
Gaither Vocal Band

Home is where the heart is,
My heart's own home
Though I never had one
To call my own
I've been given a key
By the Carpenter of Galilee
With interest paid
The title's made to me.

Home, where there is no night
Home, where the Son is the light
The place I've been dreaming for so long.
Loved ones there to welcome me
But His sweet face will be the first I see
When my journey's over
I am going home.

Everybody dreams of going home it seems
Lately I’m no exception to the rule
But home is so much more
 than windows, walls and doors
It's a warm embrace and
smiling faces awaiting you
Home, where there is no night
Home, where the Son is the light
The place I've been dreaming for so long.
Loved ones there to welcome me
But His sweet face will be the first I see
When my journey's over
I am going home.


Home, where there is no night
Home, where the Son is the light
The place I've been dreaming for so long.
Loved ones there to welcome me
But His sweet face will be the first I see
When my journey's over
I am going home.

And when my journey's over I am going home.

Genesis Chapters 1-10 Bible Quiz Powerpoint free download

Test your knowledge about the Bible through this simple quiz. This is a good way of knowing more about the Scriptures. 
                                          

                

This can also be done in the church. Just encourage your churchmates to study ten chapters starting from Genesis and be ready for a short quiz every Sabbath. By doing so, you will know more about the Scriptures and will experience that closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Bible reading will strengthen our faith.

This is my first upload. I'm still on the process of learning how to improve this. If you have comments or suggestions which may lead to the betterment of this Bible quiz, please feel free to share them. There's a space below provided just for you.

Correct Usage of Used to and Be used to

Knowing the correct usage of "used to" and "be used to" is very important. To start with, let us first know the definition of each term.

Used to followed by the base form of the verb is used to say that someone did something regularly in the past, but no longer doing it at the present time. 

I used to eat candies when I was a teenager.

The sentence tells us that the subject used to eat candies when he was a teenager, but now (that he is not a teenager), he is no longer doing it. 

Be used to, on the other hand, is used to tell that someone is accustomed to doing something. Be used to is followed by a present participle (v-ing).

Sheila is used to singing in public places.

Here, the sentence is trying to tell us that Sheila is accustomed to singing in public places. She does it with ease perhaps. She seems comfortable doing such an activity. Singing in public places is not a strange or difficult situation for her anymore.

Now compare the two sentences.

used to eat candies when I was a teenager. 
(A habitual action in the past. -Don't say I am used to or used to eating)

Sheila is used to singing in public places. 
(An action someone is comfortable of. Don't say used to sing)

Study this.

I am used to eat candies when I was a teenager.

This sentence can still be correct, but the thought is already different. Here, it seems that the subject is just used by someone to eat candies when he was a teenager.

I am used to eating candies when I was a teenager.


This is absolutely wrong. Be used to + the present participle is just used to convey an action someone is accustomed to until the present time. 

 Be used to (doing) can also mean get used to (doing)

I am used to eating vegetables nowadays.
I get used to eating vegetables nowadays.

They can also be used in this case.

My family is used to cold weather.
My family gets used to cold weather.
My family is accustomed to cold weather.

What is the difference between IN an INTO

In and Into are other examples of Prepositions of Direction. In and Into are actually interchangeable  when they are used with verbs that show movements.

The boss went in/into his office awhile ago.

However, if the verb does not convey movement, just use "in".

The boss left his briefcase in his office. (not into his office)

Now, if the preposition is the last word of the sentence, you say,

The boss went in. (not into)

And if the preposition comes before an adverb of time, manner or frequency, you also say,

The boss went in twice. (not went into twice)
The boss went in quietly. (not went into quietly)

We can also use "into" as the last word of the sentence.

What kind of situation have you gotten yourself into? (not in)

But, if the question is changed to this form, you say,

What kind of situation are you in? (not into)

In and Into also have unique uses with the verb MOVE. First, you say move in if it is followed by a clause that indicates a purpose or motive.

The army move in for the attack. (not move into)

Second, you say move into if the idea is just to show a simple movement.

The army move in the war zone. (not move into)

In the phrasal verb change into, which means to change someone/something into another thing, "into" there cannot be changed by "in".

In the play, the frog changed into a handsome prince. (not change in)

What is the difference between to, toward and towards

Is there really a difference between to, toward and towards? Well, the three of them are all prepositions of direction. They are all used with verbs that show movement.

First, let me say something regarding toward and towards. Actually, besides their spelling and of course pronunciation, they are the same. Though "toward " is common in American English while "towards" is considered British English, they mean the same. Some even suggest they are interchangeable.

However, in formal writing or speaking, toward and towards should not be used together. The point here is consistency. Once you started using toward, don't use towards anymore or vise versa.

Now, let's try to compare to with toward/towards. 

The children are walking to school.
The children are walking toward the school.

In the first sentence, the school is the very place the children are going to. However, in the next sentence, the children are said to be just walking toward the direction where the school is.

Additional examples:

The campers are moving towards North. (not to North)

Here, to is not correct. You cannot reach North, but can move towards that direction.

Conclusion:
We must bear in mind that "to" conveys the idea of movement towards a specific destination, while "toward/s" is used to convey movement in a general direction that may not reach a specific destination.

Correct Usage of Articles

One of the most common problems of English speakers and writers is articles, or should I say the correct usage of articles. Well, this is just based on my own observation. I just said this because of what I've heard and read.

By the way, what is an article? Article is a word used with a noun to show the type of reference being made by the noun. Meaning to say, it indicates whether a noun is something particular or a just a general example.

Articles are divided into two groups, the definite and indefinite articles. The definite article is used with a noun that is known to both speakers and listeners or writers and readers. This kind of noun may also be something already mentioned or uniquely specified by the speaker or writer. "The" is considered the definite article. It can be used for both singular and plural nouns.

The school behind my house is owned by Mr. Williams.

The school mentioned in the sentence is considered specific. It is not a general noun, but something that is known to both parties. The school here is uniquely specified as "behind my house." Thus, "the", not "a", is the article to be used for it.


An indefinite article is used with a noun that is not specific or not known to the listener or the reader. It may also be something the speaker or writer mentioned for the first time. "A" and "an" are indefinite articles. They are only used for singular nouns.

Again, Indefinite articles are for singular nouns only. "A" is used before a singular countable noun that starts with a consonant sound. Take note, consonant sound, not letter.



a book
a pen
a unicorn
a very big house

"An", on the other hand, is used before a singular countable noun that starts with a vowel sound.

an umbrella
an hour
an honest man

I am used to telling my students never to leave a singular countable noun alone, unless it's a general noun.

Rules on how to change singular nouns into their plural forms

This time I'll be sharing with you the simple steps on how to change singular nouns into their plural forms. This so called rules have been used until now, though there are a few additions, which I will also be mentioning below.

Rule #1
Simply add 's' to some singular nouns. Remember, it's only for some nouns, not all.

jail-jails
book-books

Rule#2
Add 'es' to nouns ending with a sibilant sound such as s, sh, ch, x or z. Sibilant sound is just like the sound of a whisper.

church-churches
box-boxes
dish-dishes

But the plural form of the noun bus can be written as buses or busses.

Proper Usage of Relative Pronouns Which and That

Hi. This time I'll be sharing with you the proper usage of the relative pronouns which and that. Well, both which and that can be interchangeable if they introduce necessary information about the suject they are related to. Study the examples below.

The book that I borrowed from my uncle is nice.
Where is the book which is on the refrigerator?

Both pronouns in the given sentences add additional information about the subject which is really necessary. But the thing I want you to understand is that the pronouns which and that can be used to refer to specific objects. The book that I borrowed from my uncle is nice. Here you are talking about the book you borrowed and not about any other books. The same with the second sentence. You are talking about a specific book, which is placed on top of the refrigerator, and not on other places. So in this case, both pronouns can be used interchangeably if they refer to specific things.

The book that/ which I borrowed from my uncle is nice. 
Where is the book which/that is on the refrigerator?

The underlined words are important. Without them, there may not be a clear picture of the subject. In English Grammar, this is what we call restrictive clause

However, if we talk about non-restrictive clause, only which can be used. That is never considered correct in this kind of clause.

The green house, which was behind the church, is owned by Mr. Chiu.

In this case, that is not possible.
