ONLY JESUS / CALVARY’S LOVE

Only Jesus, only He
Brings redemption full and free
There’s a yearning in all our lives
That only Jesus satisfies

Calvary’s Love will sail forever
Bright and shining, strong and free
Like an ark of peace and safety
On the sea of human need

Through the hours of all the ages
Those tired of sailing on their own
Finally rest inside the shadow
Cast by Calvary’s Love across their souls

Calvary’s Love, Calvary’s Love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worthy of
The deepest sin can’t rise above
Calvary’s Love

Calvary’s Love can heal the spirit
Life has crushed and cast aside
And redeem till heaven’s promise
Fills with joy once empty eyes

So desire to tell the story
Of a Love that loved enough to die
Burns away all other passions
And fed by Calvary’s Love, becomes a fire

Calvary’s Love, Calvary’s Love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worthy of
The deepest sin can’t rise above
Calvary’s Love

Calvary’s Love has never faltered
All its wonders still remain
Souls still take eternal passage
Sins atoned and heaven gained
Sins atoned and heaven gained

LETTER FROM THE ISF ASSISTANT
Dear International Friend,

Greetings to you from International Student Fellowship.

It is hard to believe that another summer is almost gone and soon the autumn season will be here (September 23rd). Unfortunately, the last summer holiday, Labor Day, did not turn out to be too nice of a day here in Pittsburgh. Hopefully, you took advantage of the day off from studies or work and just relaxed and took it easy. We spent the day trying to put the finishing touches on our basement room that we want to use for our Bible Studies. By the time you receive this letter it will be all finished and the carpet will be in place. It may not be a professional job, but we did the best we could to make it a nice roomy area for you to come and visit us in. We welcome you to visit and join us in our weekly Bible Studies.

We have enjoyed meeting some new friends in the month of August. If we have not seen you for a while, our next gathering in the month of September would be a nice time for you to come so we can see you again and you can meet some new International friends. We welcome you to invite a friend.

We will look forward to seeing you at the September gathering. This gathering will be on Friday, September 19th at 7:30 PM in the beautiful Ballroom of the William Pitt Union. The William Pitt Union is located in Oakland on the corner of Bigelow and Fifth Avenue. To get to the Ballroom, use the entrance on Fifth Avenue and then follow the signs. Steve Goodenow, who has spoken at previous ISF Gatherings, will be speaking to us. His lecture will have something to do with the scientific evidence of creation. We are sure you will find this to be a challenging lecture. As always, there will be good music, wonderful fellowship, a full course meal for you to enjoy and of course there will be children’s activities in the Kurtzman room. And remember it’s all free!

We look forward to seeing you on September 19th!

· He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
· When praying, don't give God instructions – just report for duty.
· We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.
· Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
· Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
· Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.
· Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.
· He who angers you controls you.
