Farewell

Goodbye LJ. As much as you will be remembered, your purpose has been fulfilled.

"When I think about the Lord
How He saved me,
How He raised me,
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost.

When I think about the Lord
How He picked me up
And turned me around
How He set my feet
On solid ground

It makes me want to shout Hallelujah!
Thank you Jesus!
Lord You're worthy of all of the glory
And all of the honor and all of the praise!"

"Stop trying, start relying.
Too much time you've spent implying
All your seasons you've been crying
Will not cease until your dying.

Take your stand, make demands,
Wash your robe and clean your hands.
It's time to enter a new land
And leave behind the traveled sands.

No more tears, no more fears,
Life is yours for all your years.
Blessed are he and she that hears
The voice of Him who guides and steers.

I'm sad to see it took so long
To clear my head and change my song.
I guess it's better to be late
Than meet up with such tragic fate.

I now walk along the path
Away from pain and doubt and wrath.
My destiny is life, not death.
I pray to God with every breath

That I will not forget how He
Paid my price on calvary
So by His death He could give me
Life, and life abundantly."

Thank You Lord Jesus, for all You've done for me. Thank You that You are ever-faithful, always loving to those who treat you so wrongly, who slap you in the face and mock Your love. I know I am not innocent of this crime. I whipped Your back, You healed my wounds. I crowned Your head with thorns, You gave me peace of mind. I nailed Your hands, You took my sins. I took Your clothes, You gave me robes. I pierced Your side, You healed my broken heart. I made You poor, You made me rich. I spit on You, You gave me the breath of life. I cast You down, You raised me up. I ran from You, You came to me with open arms. No greater love has there been, nor will there ever be.

"Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my God, would die for me."

You are my Father, and no greater Father can anyone have. He who knows Your love and has experienced Your gentle touch is of the most blessed people on the earth. For this, no thanks expressed could ever do You justice.

Farewell Noble Knight. It's time to shed your armor, sheath your sword, cast down your burden, and start relying on Jesus.

With open eyes, traveled shoes, and a sincere, thankful heart,

Scott Padgett
