Greater Things

.

Spanish Version on YouTube

Jesus Christ spent three years with His disciples before He left them to be with the Father. In John 14 He told them that although He was leaving them, the Holy Spirit was coming to live in them and empower them so that they would do the works that He did – and more! Later in Mark 16 He told His disciples that even those who would believe their message would also do these mighty supernatural signs. All of us who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ need to ask Him for wisdom in how to embrace the calling that is on our lives and use the amazing power of the Holy Spirit as He did (1 John 2:6; 4:17).

(Spoken)

He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to the Father. – Jesus Christ (John 14:12)

V1 – What did you think when I told you
I was going away but not leaving you alone? (John 16:7; 14:16-18; 17:26).
What are those “greater things” just waiting to be done?  (John 14:12)

It’s time for you to do all that I’ve shown you (James 1:22-25 / Matthew 7:21).

V2 – You know how hard I tried
To teach you of the power deep inside (Luke 24:49 / Acts 1:8 / Ephesians 3:20).
My Spirit is your guide (John 14:26; 16:13-15 / 1 John 2:27).
Revealing hidden mysteries (Luke 8:10 / 1 Corinthians 2:6-12).

Chorus

But don’t say that you love Me and not do what I say (John 14:15, 21-24)
Your words without actions (Luke 6:46-49 / 1 John 2:3-6).

Don’t say that you love Me and not do what I say (James 1:22).
Just live to represent Me (2 Corinthians 5:20 / John 20:21).

V3 – It’s so easy to speak it out (1 Peter 3:15 / 2 Timothy 4:2)
Just tell them what My love is all about (Romans 10:15; 5:6-8 / Ephesians 5:1-2).
My mercy reaching down (John 3:16-17 / 1 John 4:9-10),
And lifting them onto their feet (Ephesians 2:4-7 / Colossians 2:12-13 / Romans 8:11).

These signs will follow those who believe what you say (Mark 16:17-18).

I’m with you as you GO across the land (Matthew 28:18-20 / John 15:16).
Heal the sick and raise the dead (Luke 9:1-2 & 6 / Mark 3:14-15; 6:7 & 12-13).
Proclaiming “… as is it in heaven” (Matthew 6:10)

Don’t live with all the shame (1 John 1:9 / Romans 8:1 / Hebrews 4:15-16 / Philippians 3:13-14)
My love for you has always stayed the same (Psalm 103:8-12; 100:5 / Romans 8:37-39 / 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).

Return to the things you know I have called you to!  (Revelation 2:4-5 / Ephesians 2:10)

I’ll open eyes and help them all to see (Luke 10:22-23; 24:15-16 & 30-31 / 2 Corinthians 4:3-6).
Love draws them all to Me (John 12:32-33; 6:44 / Romans 2:4)
Forever Mine for all eternity (John 10:27-29; 17:1-2 / Revelation 21:2-4).

Just say that you love Me, and then do what I say (John 13:17).
It’s time to come back to Me (Matt. 11:28-29; 16:24-25)
There is no better way (Deuteronomy 30:15-16 / Psalm 25:12-13; 128:1-2 / Proverbs 10:29)
Just say that you love Me and then do what I say
Just live to represent Me
My signs will follow you today
