1. It is Jesus I need, it is Jesus indeed

Who can make it all possible in me;

Without Jesus I find I am often blind

To the truth he is wanting me to see

43

O Jesus, Jesus,

you are the one who can make

my life complete.

O Jesus, my peace restore.

It’s Jesus I need, Jesus indeed,

Jesus in me, more and more.

2. It is Jesus I need, it is Jesus indeed

Who will make my faith beautiful and bold;

And with Jesus in me I need no longer be

So afraid of what future days may hold.

O Jesus, Jesus,

you are the one who can make

my life complete.

O Jesus, my peace restore.

It’s Jesus I need, Jesus indeed,

Jesus in me, more and more.

Matthew 15:28b NLT

The Faith of a Gentile Woman 21Then Jesus left Galilee and went

north to the region of Tyre and

Sidon. 22A Gentile woman who

lived there came to him, pleading,

“Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For

my daughter is possessed by a demon that

torments her severely.” 23But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word.

Then his disciples urged him to send her away.

“Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is

bothering us with all her begging.”

Matthew 15: 21-28

24Then Jesus said to the woman,

“I was sent only to help God’s lost

sheep—the people of Israel.” 25But she came and worshiped him,

pleading again, “Lord, help me!” 26Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food

from the children and throw it to the dogs.” 27She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs

are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath

their masters’ table.” 28“Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is

great. Your request is granted.” And her

daughter was instantly healed.

know when to speak and for what to say.

Let’s look for opportunities to show love and

And Can It Be / SA 283

1. And can it be that I should gain

An interest in the Saviour's blood?

Died he for me who caused his pain,

For me who him to death pursued?

Charles Wesley

Amazing love! how can it be

That thou, my God Shouldst die for me?

2. He left his Father's throne above,

So free, so infinite his grace,

Emptied himself of all but love

And bled for Adam's helpless race.

Charles Wesley

Tis mercy all, immense and free, For, O my God, it

found out me.

3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay

Fast bound in sin and nature's night;

Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;

I woke; the dungeon flamed with light.

My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee.

Jesus, and all in him, is mine.

Alive in him, my living head,

And clothed in righteousness divine,

And claim the crown, through Christ

My own.
