Happy Easter
 
On Easter we celebrate the reason
That Jesus was crucified
He freed us of our sins
As He hung on the cross and died
 
On the third day after His death
He rose from His deathbed
Coming back to life
Just as He had fore-said
 
Jesus' suffering and His resurrection
Are the very reasons
That people gather together
Every Easter season
 
God Bless,
Michael Monette



Bring Me Revival
 
God bring me revival now
Send Your blessings on this place
Though I am not deserving
Let me see Your face
May I feel Your prsence
Come enter into my soul
Make me one with You
Help me to feel whole
God forgive my immorral actions
MY sins to You I repent
Send down Your love and mercy
May absolution be heaven sent
God I wish to be reborn
In Jesus Christ Your Son
I welcome Him into my heart
May the two of us be one
 
God bless
Michael Monette

This fits our current sermon series perfectly!

The Armor of God
(Ephesians 6:10-20)
 
Put on the Armor of God each day
And you will have protection and might
So that when evil forces attack
God will help you win the fight
 
Buckle on the belt of truth
To guard you from the devil's deceit
You will be swift and ready for anything
With the gospel of peace on your feet
 
Put on the breastplate of righteousness
And your choices will be pure and true
Hold the shield of faith with trust
And flaming arrows will not harm you
 
Cover yourself with the helmet of salvation
Make Jesus your Savior and Lord
Wield the sword of the Spirit
For nothing can yield the word
 
 
God Bless,
Michael Monette

God Give Me What I Need
God give me the wisdom, to know what You want me to do
And the courage to do it, so I can please You
God give me strength, to follow Your ways
And the glory of Your word, so I can give You praise
God take away my limitations, and burn my sins with fire
Then refill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may do what You desire
God give me the words, that You want me to say
And the boldness of heart, to shout them out each day
God let me know everything, that You want from me
So that I can serve You, from now to eternity
 
 
God Bless,   
Michael Monette

What's Important is What's Within
 
1) Don't make fun of others, because they are different from you
Don't laugh at the things they cannot do
Before you condemn them, try walking in their shoes
 
Refrain: Just like two snowflakes, just like a brand new day
No two people are quite the same,
Some are tall, some short,some are fat, some thin
But what's important is what's within
 
2) Don't discriminate against someone, because they are another race
Don't ever tell them that they are nothing but a disgrace
Remember that all of us are born with God's good grace (Refrain)
 
3) Don't criticize people, by the way that they look
Don't ever judge a cover, until you've read the book
If you do these things, you will never be mistook (Refrain)
 
God Bless,
Michael Monette

Fruit Bearing Branches of the Vine
 
1) Jesus, You are the Vine of Life
We are Your branches of love
May we bear so much fruit for You
That it reaches to heaven up above
Refrain: We want to bear much fruit for You
We want to share Your love
May we bring others to You Jesus
Show them You are our Savior from above
 
2) Lord, lift us up and cleanse us
 So we can bear much fruit for You
Prune from us anything that is unproductive
So that we can be pure and true (refrain)
 
3) Lord, we will bear much fruit for You
May we be better Christians each day
May we remain in You, and You in us
As we turn and leave our old ways (refrain)
 
 
God Bless,
Michael Monette
 

more from Michael...
Prayer of Christian Rebirth
 
God, I want to know You
Without You my life is lost
I know that Jesus is our Savior
Because He suffered on the Cross
 
God, come into my life
I give You complete control
Please forgive me for I have done wrong
Cleanse my body and my soul
 
Lord, I no longer want to do evil
As I shift away from sin
Please let me feel the Holy Spirit
As I welcome Him within
 
God, thank You for all the blessings
You have given me in my life
Especially Nicholas my son
And Rose Mary my wife
 
God, You are so glorious and powerful
You are so miraculous and grand
You lead me down my Christian walk
With the guidance of Your hand
 
Lord, You lead me down the moral path
I surrender my heart unto You
Use me anyway You see fit
To do the things You want me to do
 
God, I accept Your gift of eternal life
The gift You offer to all men
The gift of peace in my heart
I accept it in Jesus name. Amen
 
God Bless,
Michael Monette
