\[Verse 1\] In the quiet of our heart We surrender every fear Right from the very start We know that You are near \[Verse 2\] For our bodies and our frame We are leaning on Your grace We will glorify Your name As we seek Your holy face \[Chorus\] May our souls prosper well As we walk in Your light Let Your mercy now tell Of Your glorious might Lord, make us whole Soul prosper, make us whole \[Bridge\] Let Your breath fill our lungs Let our spirits be strong With a song on our tongues To You we belong \[Verse 3\] Look to Jesus today He was broken for sin He’s the Truth and the Way Let His life flow within Trust Christ as your Lord Rest in His Word \[Chorus\] May our souls prosper well As we walk in Your light Let Your mercy now tell Of Your glorious might Lord, make us whole Soul prosper, make us whole \[Outro\] Safe in His hand Jesus is Lord Here we will stand Amen
Study notes
Key Meanings and Themes Third John is a personal letter from the apostle John to a trusted believer named Gaius. 1 John writes to commend Gaius for supporting traveling teachers and to rebuke Diotrephes for refusing to welcome them. The letter presents two good examples (Gaius and Demetrius) and one bad example (Diotrephes). 3 Gaius gave John's messengers rest and refreshment and sent them on their way with money. Diotrephes, by contrast, loved prominence and exercising authority in the church. 5 In that culture, rejecting a person's representatives was disrespecting the person who had written on their behalf. 6 So his rejection of the missionaries was his way of refusing to acknowledge John's authority. The key application is John's call to imitate good, not evil. He was speaking of a lifestyle given over to continually doing good, which comes only as the result of God's grace in a person's life. 8 We too ought to show hospitality to visitors and strangers in our churches, since we are all members of the same family. -Bible.com
