Forgive Me…

ByTim Nolte
I wrote this some time ago. I can’t find my recording of it so looks like I may be re-recording it.

Forgive Me
Words & Music by Timothy J Nolte

V1:
Oh Lord, I had walked with You.
You guided me, You led my feet.
I let go of Your guiding hand,
And slowly drifted away.

Chorus:
Oh Lord, please forgive me.
Oh Lord, I need You in my life.
Oh Lord, please forgive me.
Oh Lord, I give to You my life.

V2:
Oh Lord, I saw Your servant work,
Your wondrous power, Your healing words.
I felt Your calling in my heart,
And I yearned to serve.

V3:
I come to You a broken man,
I fall before Your Holy throne.
In Your light I see my sinfulness,
My unworthiness to come to You.

V4:
I thank You for the saving grace,
You gave to us through Your Son.
I ask now for Your forgiveness,
To walk with You once again.

    A Verse That Describes The Church In Kathirie Sierra Leone

    ByTim Nolte
    “They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.” – 2 Corinthians 8:2 NLT This morning at Daybreak this verse was one that was part of Pastor Wes’ message. As it was being read I instantly began remembering my experience at the Sunday morning service in Kathirie. As I watched the church members give the morning offerings, giving not only to the general offering but also to a building fund and missions, I could only think about the amazing work God was doing in the village.

    A Little Behind…LOL

    ByTim Nolte
    I just realized how funny that title could be read. LOL. Anyways, I just realized I haven’t posted since like Friday, WOW! Ok, so I should have a lot to write about right, well not so much. Also this going to bed early thing has really been cutting into my blogging time. That and the fact that I’ve been doing some reading each night besides. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day for everything. Maybe I’ll have to start doing a mid-day thing, like during lunch. Since I’m usually a long poster this would at least break my posts up into smaller chunks. Well, hmm…I’ll try to get something more in, to recap the weekend, perhaps in the morning. I’m off…

    What A Sermon…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well, I did manage to make it to the fellowship time before church. I have to say I was a little disapointed to find no Sunday School class that was directed for my age. I was kind of feeling like an island again. Not that it really matters that most of the guys at church that are my age are married, but I really feel like the odd person. I wanted to sit with someone my age that I knew, which ended up being all girls. That’s fine I guess but as I looked around I didn’t see any sinlge guys my age in the entire room. I feel like such a loser.

    Friday & Traveling…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well Friday was a typical day. The construction on my new office is taking a little longer than originally hoped. It looks like I should be in by next Wednesday, the server equipment will have to wait until next Friday. I had to take an early lunch break so I could be home while they fixed my internet. It ended up being some problem with the signal coming from the poll. Basically I ended up eating my lunch while I continued working at my desk. I took off early to head to Brainerd for the evening, to say a final goodbye to my brother. He was shipped out at about 1am Saturday. I didn’t stay to actually see him off as I wanted to get…

    Seeing God…

    ByTim Nolte
    (John 14:1-14) When Christ was here on Earth in and among the Disciples, man was able to see God first hand. Even then the Disciples didn’t quite get it, not really realizing that they had God among them. Today it might seem that we don’t have the benefit of seeing God as the Disciples did, however the Holy Spirit does live among us. I’m reminded of the sermon that Christ gave about the “sheep” and the “goats” as they came to heaven and Christ seperated them based on how they served and loved others. From His message we can see that day-to-day we have opportunities to show Christ to others. God wants to use us for His work. When we are used by Him to…

  • The First Disciples

    ByTim Nolte
    (John 1:35-39) We see here that John the Baptist had disciples of his own. Actually, later in the Scriptures, Jesus gives us the great commission to go and make disciples. Now the disciples that John had were following him, until they heard and saw Jesus. Really, it was John that pointed his followers to go follow Jesus. Something that is interesting, however, is the fact that John calls Jesus the “Lamb of God”. This was pretty early in Jesus main ministry and I wonder how many people really understood what that meant? Jesus being called the “Lamb of God” really meant that he was a sacrifice given by God. At the time most people were waiting for a Messiah to come and save them, but…
