INSPIRATION

Together with powerful vocals, inspiring instrumentals, and deeply stirring lyrics, Charity Gayle tells a tale of praise and thanksgiving for Christ’s redeeming blood. Charity Gayle houses a powerful voice that has a fresh yet reminiscent sound. She loves and lives for the Lord with fierce faith. 

INTERVIEW

Equally important to reading her inspiration, listening to HER tell the story is an inspiration by itself.

As a matter of fact, this 39-minute interview showcases her LOVE For Her Jesus. Her humility is evident in every word regarding her ability to minister through her faith.  Her music is a powerful tool to bring the whole family together. She incorporated OLD TIME HYMNS in the lyrics > the GOSPEL in a four-minute song.

Live with Charity Gayle > Talking about the “Thank You for the Blood” song. > Miracles and Salvation through this song.

Another key point > AS A CHILD, SHE SANG WORSHIP SONGS BUT DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS, BUT SHE KNEW THE LORD DELIGHTED IN HER SINGING.

Therefore, WHEN she understood them, they became songs of personal conviction and there is absolutely nothing stronger than the wonder-working power of the BLOOD. The songs from her childhood did their work and she was changed because of them. 

LYRICS

In the light of her inspiration for this POWERFUL song, let’s venture into the lyrics…

  • I was a wretch
  • remember who I was
  • was lost and blind
  • running out of time
  • Sin separated
  • The breach was far too wide
  • But from the far side of the chasm
  • You held me in your sight

In contrast > BEFORE BEING WASHING BY THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE > THE CONDITION OF THE SOLE.

Eph 2:13 KJV – [13] But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

AMAZING GRACE

DEVELOPING THE STORY, THE GOSPEL 

  • So You made a way
  • Across the great divide
  • Left behind Heaven’s throne
  • To build it here inside
  • And there at the cross
  • You paid the debt I owed
  • Broke my chains, freed my soul
  • For the first time I had hope

GOD’S ONE ON ONE DEALINGS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL.

Isa 43:16 KJV – [16] Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY

  • Thank you Jesus for:
  • The blood applied
  • It has washed me white
  • You have saved my life
  • Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

WONDERWORKING POWER OF THE BLOOD

Act 20:28 KJV – [28] Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

THANK YOU JESUS 

I HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED

To clarify, It is one thing to believe Jesus died for me, but the words THANK YOU make it personal to me.  THANK YOU in Spanish < I GAVE YOU THANKS. 

For example, JESUS SPIRITUALLY SPRINKLED AND WASHED ME CLEAN WITHIN. In the Old Testament, blood was placed on the doorposts. In the New Testament, Jesus’ blood was applied to our lives.   

  • You took my place
  • Laid inside my tomb of sin
  • You were buried for three days
  • But then You walked right out again
  • And now death has no sting and life has no end
  • For I have been transformed
  • By the blood of the lamb

Therefore, JESUS BROUGHT US OUT OF THE GLOOM AND DOOM INTO LIGHT BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN IN FULL STRENGTH.

Rom 12:2 KJV – [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

HE TOOK MY PLACE

  • There is nothing stronger
  • Than the wonder working power of the blood
  • The blood
  • That calls us sons and daughters
  • We are ransomed by our Father
  • Through the blood
  • The blood

After all > GOD DOES CALL US SONS AND DAUGHTERS! 

2Co 6:18 KJV – [18] And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

MY RANSOM

To summarize > DECLARATION: We are adopted by our FATHER. Ransom means to pay a debt for another.  Jesus ransomed his life for us.

WONDER WORKING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

  • Thank You Jesus for the blood applied
  • It have washed me white
  • Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life
  • Brought me from the darkness into glorious light
  • Glory to His name
  • There to my heart was the blood applied
  • Glory to His name

TO EMPHASIZE > LIFE-CHANGING, HEALING OF MY HEART EXPERIENCE

Psa 29:2 KJV – [2] Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

GLORY TO HIS NAME

AND HE DID IT AGAIN 

Consequently, once again, the HOLY spirit led me to this song and to this movie. I am amazed at the direction HE is guiding my life. I came to this revelation as I was typing this article to share with you …

Let GOD USE YOU WHERE YOU ARE TO TAKE YOU TO WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO BE!

In other words, I am enjoying this music video and movie combination journey. My INSIGHT into the WORD is expanding by experiencing each song and movie. This combination became clear to me as I thought about the lyrics and then, I ASKED THE HOLY SPIRIT to guide me to the movie.  And HE DID JUST THAT. I watched this movie last year and it truly touched my heart. The storyline unfolds unto the REASON for the BLOOD. WOW!  

OUR MOVIE JOURNEY BEGINS >> DO YOU BELIEVE?

To be sure, this is TRULY a POWERFUL storyline of how the CROSS touched the lives of strangers whose lives are intertwined by the WOODEN CROSS.

OPENING SCENE

DO YOU BELIEVE TRAILER

By and large, this scene is compelling evidence of the POWER of this movie to change lives.

With attention to the visual of a man walking the city streets ROLLING A HUGE WOODEN CROSS, what is more compelling is the question he asks …

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST?”

The man in the car responds, “I AM A PASTOR

“That was not the question, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?”

As can be seen in this video clip, the image of the HUGE WOODEN CROSS is POWERFUL.

Hence, the encounter with this WARRIOR FOR THE CROSS changed the life of this Pastor. He had a new SERMON to share with his congregation about the CROSS. Therefore, not only did he create a HUGE WOODEN CROSS and placed it on the ALTER, but he also placed little wooden crosses in the church pews! When he started his sermon, he painted RED PAINT on the cross-representing Jesus’ Blood. 

Coupled with the imagery of the HUGE WOODEN CROSS, this scene will really touch your heart.

A bit of background on this scene … the young man, Percy, just escaped the POLICE after a DRUG DEAL / MONEY job went wrong (with his brother). He ran into the church to avoid being captured by the police. 

When Percy takes his seat in the back of the church, he notices the wooden cross in the pew. As he holds the wooden cross in his hands, he hears the Pastor say …

Rom 6:23 KJV – [23] For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

THE CROSS OFFERS A WAY OUT, THE ONLY WAY OUT

IMPORTANT TO REALIZE the impact these words can have on a lost soul.

You come to the cross by the way of repentance:

  • Change the way you live 
  • Turn away from your sin 

I know there is somebody out there tonight; somebody who desperately wants to know God’s love, who is tired and lost, and who wants to be saved. 

IF THAT IS YOU, I want to encourage you, right now, just OPEN YOUR HEART and ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU.

And, I want to challenge all of us to take your cross and let it be a reminder of the amazing gift that Christ has given us. It is NOT JUST A SYMBOL, NOT JUST AN IDEAL …

IT IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH! 

IF YOU BELIEVE it is TRUE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE. TAKE UP YOUR CROSS and SHOW IT! 

All things considered, WOULD YOU LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE? WOULD YOU TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND SHOW IT?

By all means – answer the question!

PERCY GAVE HIS LIFE TO JESUS

In fact, this movie takes PERCY on a journey from a criminal to a Christian.  Once saved, his life changed, and he wanted his brother’s life to change also. BUT THEN…

Therefore, he tries one more time to SHARE JESUS with his brother …

NOTABLY POWERFUL STATEMENT – Percy to his brother >> I AM ALREADY FORGIVEN!  He would not deny JESUS. 

Jhn 15:13 KJV – [13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

As a result of Percy giving his life to Jesus, he gave his brother his WOODEN CROSS and whispered “BELIEVE. I love you.”

In fact, this movie will change your life. It takes several people through a journey for their JESUS. A must-watch movie. 

In summary, we live in a world of CHOICES > to BELIEVE or to DENY! IF YOU WERE ASKED to BELIEVE or DENY, what would be your answer?

To clarify > BELIEVE and spend eternity in heaven with Jesus. DENY and spend eternity in a VERY HOT PLACE. The choice is yours.

To conclude, THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE BLOOD and DO YOU BELIEVE? are two powerful tools to share with the world. They both tell the story of GOD’S LOVE and FORGIVENESS through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ.

In other words, this SONG and MOVIE will make you think! Now the question is: DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

In fact, www.youwillwantto.com reveals the blessings Jesus paid for > one article at a time.
