number 509? The sands of time are sinking,
the dawn of heaven breaks, the summer morn I've sighed for the
fair sweet morn awakes. Dark, dark hath been the midnight. But day's spring is at hand And
glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. O Christ, He is the fountain,
the deep sweet well of love. The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above, There to an ocean fulness His mercy
doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. Oh, I am thy beloved's, and my beloved's
mine. He brings a poor Thou sinner,
into his house of wine I stand upon his merit I know no other stand, Nothing
where glory dwelleth, In Emmanuel's land. The bright eyes not her
garment, But her dear bridegroom's face I will not gaze at glory
But on my King of Grace Not at the crown he giveth but on his
pierced hand. The lamb is of the glory of Emmanuel's
land. Amen. OK, can we turn to Psalm number 104? Psalm 104. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O
Lord, my God, thou art very great. Thou art clothed with honor and
majesty, who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who
stretches out the heavens like a curtain, who layeth the beams
of his chambers in the waters, who maketh the clouds his chariot,
who walketh upon the wings of the wind, who maketh his angel
spirits his ministers a flaming fire, who laid the foundations
of the earth that it should not be removed forever. Thou cover'st
it with a deep as with a garment. The water stood above the mountains.
At thy rebuke, they fled. At the voice of thy thunder,
they hasted away. They go up by the mountains.
They go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded
for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over,
that they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs
into the valleys, which run among the hills. They give drink to
every beast of the field. The wild asses quench their thirst.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from his
chambers, the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and the herb
for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of
the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil
to make his face shine. and bread which strengtheneth
man's heart. The trees of the Lord are full
of sap, cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted, where the birds
make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees
are their house. The high hills are a refuge for
the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies. He appointed
the moon for seasons. The sun knoweth his going down.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts
of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their
prey and seek their meat from God. The sun arises. They gather themselves together,
and they lay them down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his
work and to his labor until the evening. Oh, Lord, how manifold
are thy works. In wisdom hast thou made them
all. The earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and
wide sea wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great
beasts. There go the ships. There is
the Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These wait
all upon thee, and thou mayst give it them their meat in due
season. That thou givest them, they gather. Thou openest thine
hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are
troubled. Thou takest away their breath,
they die and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy
spirit, and they are created. and thou renewest the face of
the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure forever. The Lord
shall rejoice in his works. He looketh upon the earth, and
it trembleth. He toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will
sing unto the Lord as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God
while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be
sweet. I will be glad in the Lord. Let the sinners be consumed
out of the earth and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou
the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord. Lord, we come to you again this
evening and we do praise you and thank you Lord. All these
things are true. Unreal and we we thank you for
him and we are. We're blessed by more. We thank
you for your mercies new to us every morning. Thank you, Lord,
for our families, and we pray that you'd have mercy on them,
Lord. We pray that you'd be kind and merciful to the sick of this
congregation, Lord, and to your other congregations, Lord. We
ask that you'd keep them, and thy will be done. Lord, we ask
all these things in Christ's holy name. Amen. Boy, that was a good song. Birds,
everything. Have to wait on the Lord. And
they sang. They sang. God gives the birds
a song to sing. Ain't that something? 2 Samuel,
Chapter 7. 2 Samuel, Chapter 7. That was outstanding scripture. Leviathan is a whale, that's
what a whale is. Stork, we'd call him a heron,
great big heron, you know, with the big long legs. I'm gonna start reading at verse
18 and read to the end of the chapter, 2 Samuel 7. Verse 18 down through 29, and
see, just deal with what God said. Then went King David in
and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? And what is mine house that thou
hast brought me hitherto? And this was yet a small thing
in thy sight, O Lord God, but thou hast spoken also of thy
servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner
of man, O Lord God? And what can David say more unto
thee? For thou, Lord God, knowest thy
servant. For thy word's sake and according
to thine own heart hast thou done all these great things,
to make thy servant know them. Wherefore, thou art great, O
Lord God, for there is none like thee, neither is there any god
beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation in the earth
is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem
for a people to himself? and to make him a name, and to
do for you great things and terrible for thy land before thy people,
which thou hast redeemed to thee from Egypt, from the nations,
and from their gods. For thou hast confirmed to thyself
thy people Israel to be a people unto thee forever, and thou,
Lord, art become their God. And now, O Lord God, the word
that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, concerning his house,
establish it forever, and do as thou hast said. And let thy
name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God
over Israel. and let the house of thy servant
David be established before thee. For thou, O Lord of hosts, God
of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build
thee a house. Therefore hath thy servant found
this in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. And now, O
Lord God, thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast
promised this goodness unto thy servant. Therefore, let it please
thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue
for ever before thee, for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it. And
with thy blessing, let the house of thy servant be blessed for
ever." David wanted to build God a house. God said, No, I'm going to build
you a house. And the house he's talking about
is the Lord Jesus Christ. I'll establish your house forever. Our Lord was the seed of David.
And David, now he comes and speaks to God. And I love this, this
is such a blessing to me, just to see it and read it in verse
18. Then went King David in, and
I love this, and sat before the Lord. sat before the Lord. Oh my! And you know it was before
the Lord He sat. He wasn't concerned about anyone
or anything else. He sat before the Lord, sat before
His Master, sat before His Redeemer, sat before His God, sat before
His Lord. Oh my! He sat before Him In adoration,
oh, he adored God. He sat before him in reverence,
sat before him in love, sat before him in praise, thankfulness. Oh, he sat before the Lord. He
loved the Lord and he revered the Lord, Lord God. Oh my, he
feared him and he gloried in him. He rejoiced in him and he
worshiped him. And that's exactly what we're
doing this evening. We're setting before the Lord.
Whether we know it or not, we're actually setting before the Lord.
And oh, the Lord's listening. The Lord allows sinners like
us, like us, to come here and set before the Lord. And here's
David, here's David, and David has already failed miserably.
But yet he come and sat before the Lord. and all that sat before
him. It's like the woman in Mary Magdalene,
when she'd come to the Lord Jesus Christ in Simon's house, she
sat at his feet and washed them with her tears, dried them with
the hairs of her head. She spent her time at the feet.
And then there's Mary, Lazarus' sister. She sat at the
Lord Jesus Christ's feet, and our Lord said she chose the good
place. What a place to sit. before the Lord, and, oh, my,
to be like Mary, and sat before the Lord, and sat at His feet.
And then look what He said, oh, my. He said, oh, He sat before
the Lord, and here's the first thing out of His mouth. Who am
I? Who am I, oh, Lord? Who am I, and what is my house
that You brought me to be able to sit before You? If we ever,
ever see anything of the holiness and glory and power and beauty
of the Lord, we'll sit before Him just like David did. And
the first thing we say when God reveals Himself to us, makes
Himself known to us, the first we say, we say, Lord, who in
the world am I? Who in the world am I? Who am
I, O Lord? What do I amount to? Who am I? That's the first thing he said,
who am I, oh Lord? That you brought me here, that
you allowed me to sit before you. What am I? What is my house? And this way he said, why hast
thou brought me to here? Oh my, I tell you what, if anyone
is ever brought to this place before the Lord, He'll NEVER
argue who Salvation of the Lord is, never again. He won't argue
whether it's man's free will, man's cooperative effort. He'll
understand CLEARLY that God Almighty is the One, He's, WHO AM I LORD?
Who am I that you would even let me come into your presence?
Who am I? Oh, my. I tell you what, oh,
so there's no arguing over this, whether it's fair for God to
do something. Oh, and we see God. When we see
the Lord, when we see God, we're overwhelmed, overwhelmed that
He would even look in our direction, that He'd even think of us and
consider us in any way. Oh my, who am I that God would
do anything for? And that's what David said, and
he's the king. He's the king. You don't hear
kings talking like that. You do one who knows God. If
we had a president who knew God, that's what he'd be saying. Oh
my, we're overwhelmed. What in the world, God, why are
you even looking my direction? What is my house? I'll tell you
what my house is. I come from the house of Adam.
I come from a house of rebel, double-dodged sinners. I come
from a house, I come as a beggar on a dunghill, that's what I
was. I come from the house of Adam, a rebel. The rejecter of
God Almighty. God had to come and find us.
He had to come where we was. He had to clothe us. He had to
cover our nakedness. He had to do it all. No wonder
David said, who am I and what is my house? Oh, my. Oh, my coat of arms is a rebel.
And I tell you, there's only one reason that I'm a child of
God and you are, is because of this promise that God made to
David. I'll establish your house forever
after you, and that's talking about the Lord Jesus Christ,
the seed, the son of David. And look what else he said here
in verse 19. Look what he says. And this was yet a small thing
in thy sight. You know, when you start thinking
about what God's done for a multitude that no man can number, He said,
this in your sight, Lord, what you've done for me, that's such
a small thing when you're doing it for a multitude that no man
can number. He said, what a small thing.
Your mercy, your grace, your goodness, your power, so infinitely,
infinitely vast. It's like Bill said back there
in the study a minute ago, he said, I don't think God ever,
I don't think God thinks, I don't think He's ever had a thought.
You know, He's so vast, how do you describe Him? No beginning,
no ending. And then Davis said, Lord, what
You've done for me, that's just a small thing in Your sight. When a day has a thousand years
and a thousand years has a day, what God does for us, And He
does this for so many, everybody in this building today, tonight,
everybody in this building, you can all say that what God's done
for you, He done it for all of us, and it wasn't nothing for
Him to do that. It don't take no power, He just
wills it to be done. And I'll tell you, you know how
vast His knowledge is. He knew us, He knew us and gave
us grace in Christ before the world ever began. Huh? How in the world could He know
somebody before the world ever began? He's God. No wonder David
said, this is a small thing in your sight, Lord. It's not small
in my sight, but it's small in your sight. What God's done for
me is great. He said, God, in your sight,
it's a small thing. Oh, my. You know, you take out
of your treasures of grace, and you have as much grace as you
ever had when you done gave all you got to everybody you give
it to. You still got as much grace as you started with. When
he gives all of his mercy out, he's still full of mercy. He ain't even began to use his
mercy. Oh, bless his holy name. Oh my,
could we with ink the ocean feel, and were the skies of parchment
made, and every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe
by trade, to write the love of God above, would drain the oceans
dry, though stretched from sky to sky. Oh, to talk about what
God does for us. Oh, we can't describe it. Huh,
get lost in it. And oh my, we're overwhelmed
with His grace and His goodness. And then look what He says now.
He says this in verse 19. And is this after the manner
of men? Can a man do this? Does man act like
this? Can man do this? Can man do what
you've done for me? Is this after the manner of men,
to take beggars off the dung hill and make them princes? To
save freely? To bless so abundantly? To make
the promises so glorious and give such grace in abundance? Is this after the manner of men?
No, no, no, no, no. And then look what David became
speechless. Look what he says in verse 9,
20. He became speechless. And David said, and what can
David say more unto thee? What else can I say? Who am I? What am I? I'm speechless. David said, what else can I say?
You know what he says? He starts praising you and blessing
God. Oh, my. Oh, what more can I say? He became
speechless. And I'll tell you one thing.
When God saves us by His blessed grace, and He reveals Himself
to us like He did Job, He said, I heard about you with the hearing
of the ear. Now my eye sees you, and oh my, I'm gonna put my hand
over my mouth, and I'm not gonna say another word. Oh, we become
speechless. Oh, and we're overwhelmed with
His grace and His goodness. Whom having not seen, you love. and whom though you seem not
now, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving
the end, the end, the goal of your faith, the salvation of
your soul. And look what he goes on to say
there, then in verse 20, what more can David say more unto
thee, Lord? And he says this, he said, for
thou, Lord, God knowest your servant. I can't say anything
else to you, because you know me. You really know me. You know your servant. Oh, you
know me. You know me, oh Lord. And I'll tell you what, and I've said this so many times
over the years, what a comfort to a child of God, that God knows
us. He said, you know your servant.
You know everything there is about me. That's what David said.
Lord, you know me. Joe Paul said, you know, when
we know God or rather are known of God. You know, we see through
a glass darkly now, but then we're gonna see face to face.
Then we're gonna be, we're gonna know just like we've been known,
like God knows us, then we'll be like He knows us to be and
what we will be. Because we're looking through
a glass darkly now. And oh my, oh, He knew us before
the foundation of the world. Oh my, bless His name. He said,
you know, Romans 8, 29, he says this. He said, I elect my chosen
before the foundation of the world. Huh? Oh, my. Our hope of glory, our hope of
glory is founded upon his knowledge of us. His knowledge of us. You know, We don't have a clue what's going
to happen to us before we leave this world. We don't. We really
don't. But I am thankful that God knows. God knows. I may not know my
name in two or three years or ten years if I live that long.
May not even know my own name. But God knows it. That's all
that counts. Ain't it? Oh my, we get so forgetful
now. How many of you all walked in
a room, go in there to get something, and when you get there, you say,
what in the world am I coming in here for? And you walk back
out, and then you remember you went back in. But you know, you
go all over the house and say, why did I come in here? And you
know, we're like that. But bless his holy name, I know
you. I know you. We forget, but He
never forgets. Oh my. And look what He says
here. Oh my. What we say means nothing,
but God, what God sees is what's right. And how God sees things
is exactly the way they are. Oh my. Then look what He says
in verse 21. He says, Lord, why do you treat
me this way? Why do you love me so, make such
great promises? He said, for your word's sake.
Verse 21, for your word's sake. When God gives his word, marker
down, it's good. The foundation of God's stand
is sure. The Lord knows them that are
his. Oh my. And he said, for thy word's sake.
What God does, His heaven and earth will pass away, but His
Word won't. For Thy Word's sake, oh my. And God makes a promise, what
He says in His Word. I remember my mother-in-law,
and I've told you this before. You know, she was a very simple
woman, very simple, simple woman. And she, I don't know how many
times she said, I don't know hardly anything about the Bible.
And I just know a little bit about it. But there's not none
of it that I don't believe. I don't know much, but I believe
every word in it. That's what she said. And like
some people said, I believe it from cover to cover. Well, I
believe it. I believe it. You know why? Because
it's God's word. And that's what David said. According
to your word's sake. Then look what he said. And I
love this here. Now, you know, God, he gives us descriptions
of himself that's not himself, but yet at the same time, he
lets us view himself in a way he wants us to view him. And
he says, for thy word's sake, according to thine own heart. It's in your heart, Lord. It
was in your heart to treat me this way. It's always in your
heart to do this for me. In your heart. Oh my. Oh, what do you reckon's in God's
heart? What do you reckon's in God's
heart? Whatever it is, it's important to Him. Whatever it is, He's
jealous over it. Oh, you know what's important
to Him? His word, he said, my word, I beg my word above my
name. You know, he said he magnified
his word because that word will never change, never change. And
I tell you what, his grace is in his heart, his sovereignty's
in his heart, his glory is in his heart, and he won't share
it with nobody, won't share it. His people's in his heart. Oh,
he said, who touches you touches the apple of mine eyes. And I
tell you, the most blessed thing in his heart is his son, the
Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, he's the son of his love.
That's what he called him, the son of his love. Oh, I tell you
what, and you take all these things and they all go together. And look what he says, thou hast
done. And then in verse 21, and thou
hast done all these great things, all these great things, for one
reason, to make you to know Him. I've done all these things for
you, and then you know why I've done it? Just so I can make you
to know it. according to, oh, to make your
servant to know Him, to know the great things you've done
for us. Oh, ah, mm, make us to know Him. And then look what
he says in verse 22. Wherefore thou art great, O Lord
God, For there is none other like thee, there is no God beside
thee according to all that we have heard. And oh my, he said,
for thou art great. You know, who is the Lord? Who
is the Lord? There's lots of gods in this
world, lots of gods. I mean, everybody's got one.
Everybody's got one. I told you this morning about
people who God is the cross. And I remember a fella coming
here one time and he said, I'd like to buy the church a Christian
flag. I said, now what in the world
is a Christian flag? I said, what makes a flag Christian?
He said, I never thought of that. I said, you can't make a flag
Christian. Only people. And that's what
he said. Lord, there's many gods. But
there's nobody like you, huh? Who is as great as you, that's
what he said. He's absolutely just, absolutely
sovereign, and he's what we call omni, all wise, all power, all
knowing. And who loves like he does? Who loves like God does? WE DON'T
LOVE LIKE HE DOES! HE LOVES THE UNLOVABLE! HE LOVES
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T EVEN LOVE THEMSELVES AT TIMES! WHO GIVES SO FREELY
AS GOD! AND NO WONDER HE SAYS, THOU ART
GREAT! AND WE SING THAT SONG OUT OF
37 in the book, how great thou art, how great, oh saves my soul,
how great thou art, how great thou art, oh my. And then look
what he says in verse 23. And when you have, I'm gonna
tell you this when I read this, when you have a high view of
God and his righteousness, you'll have a high view of his people. Look what he says, in what one
nation on the earth is like your people? Find me one people, one
nation on the face of the earth that's like your people. Even
like Israel, which he's talking about his elect, he's talking
about his people. And listen to what he says here. Whom God
went to redeem for himself. God went to do it. Christ went
to do it. Who went to redeem for himself. We're the one that received,
he redeemed us and then he let us know it. And oh my, he says,
for thou hast, and to redeem a people for thyself. And why
did he do it? Oh, to make himself, whoa, redeemed,
makes him special. And I'll tell you what, when
you have a high, high view of God, I'll tell you something
else, you'll have a high view of His people, because they're
redeemed, effectually redeemed. The lamb's been slain, the bud's
been shed before the Lord. And look what He says, He done
this to make Himself a name. Oh, to bring making himself a
name. Whose name do we love to hear?
Whose name we want to praise? Oh, for you do great and terrible
things before their land for thy people whom thou hast redeemed. Listen to this now. Redeemed
from Egypt and from the nations and from the gods that they had.
He brought us out of Egypt, brought us out of the world, saved us
from our gods for himself. Huh? Saved us from our gods. Saved us from their gods. And
oh my, then look what he said in verse 24. For thou hast confirmed to thyself
thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for how long? Forever. And thou, Lord, art become their
God. Oh my, mm-hmm. Well, has confirmed. Do you know what that word confirm
means? It means He's confirmed us to Himself. It means to cause
to stand. It means to set up. It means
appointed. And oh, here's the Beloved, the
Blessed Covenant of Grace. He's established us. He set us. He set us up. He appointed us. He causes us to stand. And look
what he says, and he said, and this is gonna be your people
forever, forever. And look what he says, and he
became their God. I'll be your God, you'll be my
people. You're gonna be my people, and
I'm gonna be your God. That's the long and short of
it. Somebody said, well, not unless if you want to let him.
No, that's not what he said here. He said, you're gonna be my people
and I'm gonna be your God. And you're gonna be my people
for how long? Forever. Forever. Oh, and then look here
in verse 25. You're talking about a place
of faith, a place of faith. Here's the plea of faith. He said, and now, oh Lord God,
the word that thou hast spoken, oh my. And he says, listen, concerning
the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant, and concerning
his house, establish it forever. And look what he says, do what
you said you'd do. Do what you said you'd do, huh? Here's what faith says, do what
you said you'd do. That's what Abraham, God told
Abraham something was gonna happen years before it happened. And
Abraham believed him. And I'll tell you what, that's
what David said, you gave me a word, you made me a promise.
Do it, you said, and that's what we do. He's promised us, and
I'll tell you something, he's promised you'll not never ever
fail. And our faith, our faith is based
upon what God said. Our faith is based on what God
himself said. God said, if you trust my son,
I'll save you. God said, if you come to my son,
I'll justify you, and I'll clear you, and I'll give you his righteousness. We stand on what God said. Oh, our faith is best what he
promised. And oh, how in praying, how often,
how often we just tell God what he's already said. You know what
he already said. Lord, you said, you said, you
said. And oh my. And then look what
he says here in verse 26. And then he said, Lord, since
you've made us your promise and you're gonna do all these things
for me. He said, let thy name be magnified forever. Let your name be the biggest
name of all names. Let it be magnified. Let it be
multiplied. Let it be so great and glorious. Let your name be magnified. Oh my. That's what he said. Not unto us, oh Lord, not unto
us, but unto thy name be glory. Let me ask you something. Do
you find contentment? Do you find peace? Do you find
happiness in what glorifies Him? More than anything else in this
world. And oh my, let us be, and then he goes on to say, in
verse 26 he goes on to say, the Lord of hosts is God for over
Israel. Let the house of thy servant
be established forever. Oh my. You know how long we're gonna
be established just like David, forever. Christ was forever. He's the same today, yesterday,
and forever. And we're established forever. David was, we was. Christ's house is. And oh my. Psalm 127 and one says this. Except the Lord build the house,
they're laboring in vain. Except the Lord wash the house,
the watchman waketh in vain. So God's gotta watch it, gotta
build it, and God's gotta watch it. God's gotta take care of
it. Oh, and then look what he goes
on in verse 27. For thou, Lord of hosts, God
of Israel, I love this right here, hast revealed to thy servant. You know why we know what we
know? Cause he revealed it to us. We
wouldn't know nothing if he hadn't revealed it to us, would we?
And he says, you has revealed it to us. And oh my. And he says, he said, verse,
and I know your word. He goes on to say here, I will
build their house. Therefore thy servant, listen
to this, thy servant, I know your promise because you revealed
them to me. You gave me this desire, and
it's what he said. You put it in my heart to come
before you and pray before you. You put it in my heart to do
this. You did it. You put it in my heart to sit
here and pray this prayer unto thee. Oh my. And look what he says then in
verse 28. And now, O Lord God, thou art
God, And listen to this, and thy words be true, that you promised
this goodness unto thy servant. He said, thy word is true. Let thy word, let God be true,
and every man a liar. And look what he said, and thy
words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness. Oh, this
goodness. Oh, God's been gooder to us.
You know, said, boy, he'd been awful gooder. And that's what
I like to say. He'd been gooder to us than anybody
else. He'd been gooder to us. Oh, my. And then look at the last, last
verse, and I'm done. Therefore now, and this is what
we say, Let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant. Lord, if it pleases you, let
it please you to do this. When it's all said and done,
he said, Lord, I'm left up to you. Let it please you. Let it please you to bless my house. Let it please
you to bless me. Let it please you. And then he says, that thy blessings,
and let it please you that I may continue before ever before thee. I want to continue before, let
it please you that I'll be with you forever. And oh, and he says
this, and oh Lord God, you spoke it. You has spoken it. You said it. And with thy blessing,
let the house of thy servant be blessed forever. And because
the house of David was blessed forever in the Son of God, the
Lord Jesus Christ, we're blessed forever. Oh, let it please thee. Oh, rest of heart, what pleases
you, oh God. Bless me established forever.
And oh, with the blessings, with the blessings, just keep on blessing. Keep on blessing. David sat before the Lord. David, we sat before the Lord. When we're sittin' in our chair
at the house, we're sittin' before the Lord. Sittin' before the
Lord. What a wonderful place to sit,
huh? What a wonderful place to sit. Our blessed, blessed Savior,
our great and glorious and precious God in heaven. Thank you for
allowing us to meet here today. Thank you for allowing me to
come and be with these blessed believers, these children of
God, these people of Lantana Grace Church and meet with them
again. Worship with them, worship with
them. Talk about the Lord Jesus Christ
and his blessed goodness and glory, love and grace. Oh, thank you for letting me
do that. Thank you for, Lord, that they sat and listened and
rejoiced at what you have to say. Believe it. Believe it. Lord, thank you. Blessed be your
holy name for what we've enjoyed today. by your blessed grace
and by the Holy Spirit, we thank you. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord, for saving my
soul. Thank you, Lord, for making me
whole. Thank you, Lord, for giving to
me Thy great salvation, so rich and free. See where's tonight? God willing.
