Sermon: Ben Johnson - Song: ”Oh My Perfect Love” by Stephen Duncan, Carly Merriman, Gracia Barnhart, John Moeller, Matt Weaver, & Daniel Hartzheim

Weak Days with Jesus

Today’s message is from Ben Johnson who used to be in California, but now serving in Iowa. One of my favorite quotes in this message is when a member dying of cancer tells Pastor Ben that “his battle wasn’t against cancer, His battle was against hopelessness and despair…”

Ben also talks about his daily interaction with the highly esteemed “Professor Gibbs from his seminary days who says to Ben every morning “Still Caught Up In It” and what that means about our joy.

At the end of this podcast you will hear a special song written by a songwriting mentor of mine, Stephen Duncan and a few other great songwriters including Daniel Hartzeim, from Montana, who I’ve also written with.

Lyrics: You are here waiting You always do Your kindness it calls me Beckons and draws me Into the room No record of wrongs here I'm seen and approved You never blame me Selfless You claim me In love's great pursuit Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love My perfect love Your heart is a haven My resting place The arms of a Father A refuge a harbor Trusted and safe There's nothing that's greater No sweeter a taste When I'm fully known And mercy leans in And kisses my face Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love My perfect love You've chosen me You walk with me Your my Father who never gives up on me You've chosen me You walk with me Your my Father who never gives up on me You've chosen me You walk with me Your my Father who never gives up on me You've chosen me You walk with me You're my Father who never gives up on me You're my Father who never gives up on me You're my Father who never gives up on me You're my Father who never gives up on me You're my Father who never gives up on me Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love My perfect love My perfect love You're so near Oh what a love I've found You're right here My heart can see it now REFRAIN (3x) Every fear now is running Away from me As my Father You offer Your intimacy Now I'm speaking to mountains And I'm running on seas As my Father Your singing Your love over me Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love My perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love Oh my perfect love My perfect love You are my love
