It Is Finished
God's love goes out to comfort
To save and justify
But only through blood of the Christ
On that flow I do rely.
For Yeshua is my Saviour
His blood he gave for me
This love of God is shown
Through the Rood at Calvary.
Forbid it Lord indeed that I should be
Conscious of one thing but
Your wondrous love to me.
And may I never, ever
Put a value on that blood,
For I could never really know
The price of that dear flood.
Because I do remember
And may this always be
Those words that Jesus spoke
When he cried out at Calvary.
For while hanging on that Cross
We can hear God's decree;
'My Father, Oh my Father
this completes my destiny! ' *
And those other words he cried
As his life deminished
Before they pierced his precious side
But three words, 'It is finished'

Tithing is but Dross
I used to tithe in years gone by
As to the church I went
I used to tithe in years gone by
And give my ten percent.
But God's Spirit spoke to me these words
'Richard do this for me'
God's Spirit spoke to me these words
'Stop tithing, be set free.'
'But Lord' said I with bated breath
'Men taught me I MUST tithe,
now you say to me instead,
don't tithe, but be alive? '
The answer that God's Spirit gave
Was, 'Tithing is but dross'
The answer that God's Spirit gave
Was, 'Find it at the Cross.'
For that answer I did seek
Then I stopped my tithe
For at the Cross I remembered that
Yeshua is alive!
So now I understand that
In the Messiah I've been set free
To live my life by faith
For Yeshua bought all of me.
My body, soul and spirit;
Yeshua purchased all at the Cross,
I am His, He is mine
And tithing is, but dross.
1 Corinthians 6: 20

Declaring Yeshua
The Spirit of God is Holy
Come to declare Yeshua's name;
To speak NOT of his own self
But to glorify Messiah who came.
The Spirit of God has come
To guide us in things of the Lord;
Reminds us of the words of Yeshua
That we might be in one accord.
The Spirit of God does not boast
Of Himself in any wise;
But declares that, 'YESHUA IS LORD! '
Anything else, is but lies.
John 16: 13-15

My Testimony
Before I knew Messiah I was dead
On my sins I daily fed;
A real great person in my sight
Was myself, mine own delight.
Abominations I did do
In the sight of God, 'tis true;
A medium I did become
I really thought that it was fun
To call up spirits in the dark
While forming a circle, a real great lark.
But Satan grabbed me by my soul
And took me down into that hole;
That hole that is a place of fear,
Of terror, horror and nightmare!
A place where I was held in chains
Chains on my spirit and great pains.
In the dark I was afraid
Of things that walked unseen
Things that touched me whilst I slept,
And during day behind me crept.
My mind was filled with awful sights
Things which kept me awake at nights,
Of filth, death and graveyard too
I just did not know what to do?
Then one day I came to know
About how God loved me so
And how that if I came to him;
He would forgive me of my sin.
I learned how Yeshua died FOR ME!
On the tree at Calvary,
And how that Yeshua lives today
To wash the sin of men away.
The Scripture also showed me
That from Satan I was FREE
I left the hole he had me in -
For 'in Messiah' I had no sin.
My life God changed, I took Messiah's hand
He leads me now and it's sure grand;
To know that I shall never die
For on Lord Yeshua I rely.
Thankyou God for saving me
I know that it is true;
And I shall tell other men
About how God loves them too!
