All About Jesus
This song came after reading these quotes.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
(The words of Jesus found in John 10:10)
Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field;
for the sake of it a man will gladly go and sell all that he has.
It is the pearl of great price to buy which the merchant will sell all his goods.
It is the kingly rule of Christ,
for whose sake a man will pluck out the eye which causes him to stumble;
it is the call of Jesus Christ at which the disciple leaves his nets and follows Him.
Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow,
and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ.
It is costly because it costs a man his life,
and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life.
(Deitrich Bonhoeffer in “The Cost Of Discipleship”

Take care lest you forget the Lord your God
by not keeping His commandments and His rules and His statutes,
which I have commanded you today,
lest when you have eaten and are full
and have built good houses and live in them,
and when your herds and flocks multiply
and your silver and gold is multiplied,
then your heart be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God.
Beware lest you say in your heart,
“My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.”
(The words of Moses, as found in chapter 8 of the book of Deuteronomy)
