May I have a bulletin on the
back? A refuge for sinners. The gospel makes known. This
is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners. Sinners are people who can do
nothing but sin. Do you qualify? Tis found in the merits of Jesus
alone, the weary, the tempted, the burdened of sin are never
excluded from entering in. I will in no wise cast you out. That's the Lord's promise. Let's
stand together. Tom's going to come and lead
us in singing that to the tune of How Firm a Foundation. A refuge for sinners the gospel
makes known, Tis found in the merits of Jesus alone. The weary, the tempted, the burdened,
and of sin are never excluded from entering in this refuge
for sinners. God's love did ordain in Jesus
the Lamb from eternity slain, in Christ the Redeemer, who lived
and who died, God's law and His justice are now satisfied. Should conscience accuse us,
as often it may, the blood of our Savior has put sin away. In Jesus our surety the sinner
can view a city of refuge and righteousness too. Please be seated. Good morning. Would you please
turn with me in the Word of God to Numbers chapter 21. I hesitate
to read this because it takes me a while to get ready for this.
And what's Brother Todd say? Open to Numbers 21. But there's
hardly a day. We all have verses that the Lord's
been pleased to reveal Himself to. And I have to say, this is
a verse that probably stays with me that not a day goes by And
Proverbs says, I can see myself so clearly that I'm just like
these children of Israel. And verse 4, please, we'll start. Israels came from Egypt, and
they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea to
come past the land of Edom. And the soul of the people was
much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against
God and against Moses. Wherefore have you brought us
up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there's no bread,
neither is any water. Look, they said there's no bread
and why they say, and our soul loatheth this light bread. Boy,
that sounds like Michael Etheridge to me. And what did happen? And the Lord sent, the Lord sent
fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and
much people of Israel died. They complained against God,
and God sent in poisonous snakes. This is me. Therefore, the people
came to Moses, the one they complained against, and said, we have sinned. For we have spoken against the
Lord and against thee. Moses pray unto the Lord that
he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the
people. And here's what the Lord told
Moses. And the Lord said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent
and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass that
everyone that is bitten when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass,
and he put it upon a pole, and it came to pass that if a serpent
had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Let us just pray. Let us try
to do that. This is Christ. That's what Christ
says, I'm the serpent. Lord, we confess to you we have no
power nor strength in ourselves. Lord, if we're even able to pray
or write, you're going to have to enable us to do that. We ask
that you would. Lord, we have seen your acts
all the days of our lives. And I know, Lord, I am guilty
of complaining against your good providence with both my mouth
and my heart. Lord, thankfully, you gave us
what we needed and not what we wanted. And you've sent fiery
serpents into each one of our lives, difficult serpents, the
serpents of the sin of our flesh, our self-righteousness, our unbelief. And they have killed us, Lord,
all the day long. Lord, how many times have I asked
you to take the serpents away in foolishness? And you did not. I'm thankful you gave me what
I needed rather than what I wanted. And Lord, you've told us that
you will provide a way of escape. We plead for our brother, our
Moses, that you would be with brother Greg, that you would
comfort and encourage him in tradition, that you would give
him the words and that I'm confident, Lord, that you're going to enable
him to declare to each one of us to look to Christ and live. Lord, we thank thee that your
promises are true, that if you enable us to do that, that we
shall surely live. We ask, Lord, would you be willing
to do that for us this day? Christ, I pray that you would
take this prayer and that you would make it acceptable to God
the Father and that we would give all glory to you. Amen. Let's stand together. Again,
we'll sing hymn number 44 from your Hymns of Grace hymn book,
number 44. Let's all stand together. Precious Savior, friend of sinners,
we as such to Thee draw near. Let Thy Spirit dwell within us
with that love that casts out fear. Matchless Savior, let us
know Thee, as the Lord our righteousness. Cause our hearts to cleave unto
Thee, come and with Thy presence bless. Open now thy precious
treasure, let thy word here freely flow. Give to us a gracious measure,
tis thyself we long to know. Come and claim us as thy portion. Let us all find rest in thee. Leave us not to empty notions. We would find our hope in thee. Please be seated. Will you open your Bibles with
me, please, to 1 Corinthians 10. 1 Corinthians 10. I've titled this message, Suspicious
and Confident. And I don't mind telling you
right now that my hope and prayer this morning is that we will
leave this place in just a little bit being more suspicious of
ourselves than we were when we came in, and more confident of
our Lord than we were when we came in. By nature, we're just
the opposite. If we can compare being suspicious
to doubting, and I think those are pretty much synonyms, by
nature we are suspicious of God. We doubt His promises. We doubt
His love. We doubt His word. We're suspicious
of men. And we're way overconfident in
ourselves, aren't we? Michael, it's appropriate that
you read that passage. Where'd Michael go? Somewhere
over there. Because Paul brings up that experience
that the children of Israel had in the Old Testament, along with
several others, while they were in the wilderness. And he says
that they serve as an example to us. Now some might read this
passage of scripture and say, well, I'm not going to be like
the Israelites. That's one response to make. Young people sometimes in their
naivete and in their self-righteousness leave home thinking, I'm not
going to be like my parents were. Only to find in later years of
life that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Not only is
it in the same orchard, but it's taken root in the shadow of the
old tree. And they're not so self-righteous
and naive anymore. We're just like the children
of Israel. God's given us these examples
for us to... Well, the key to understanding
this whole passage of Scripture is found in verse 12. If you'll
go with me there, verse 12, wherefore let him thinketh that he standeth
take heed lest he fall. Pride precedeth a fall. God giveth grace to the humble
and he resists the proud. The Lord did not give us these
examples of the Old Testament Israelites in order to boost
our ego or our confidence in ourselves to say to us, well,
I'm not going to be like that. but rather he gave it to us to
expose the weakness of our own flesh and to cause us to say,
Lord, if you don't do a work of grace in me and for me, I'll
be just like that. I'll be just like that. The only
difference between one man and the next is the restraining grace
of God. Did you get that? The only difference,
the only thing that keeps you from being just like the worst
person that's ever lived is the restraining grace of God. What made the difference between
Peter and Judas? The Lord told Peter, be of good
cheer, I prayed for thee, and when thou art converted, teach
the brethren, encourage them with your own fall. But you know,
really the only thing that Peter belonged to the Lord and Judas
didn't, he was a son of the devil, the Lord made that clear, but
it was the restraining grace of God that kept Peter from doing
in the end what Judas did. Don't you know that Peter contemplated
suicide? Surely he did. Had you asked
Peter after what he did, are you one of God's elect? Peter
would have said, absolutely not. Is there any hope for you to
be saved? Peter would have said, no, I've
ruined it all. You see, what Peter did and what
Judas did was exactly the same. But God restrained Peter and
brought him to repentance, caused him to see the sin of his own
heart and restrained him. Now, had you asked Peter, Peter
obviously, he said, I go fishing. I've ruined everything. It's
all over for me. Maybe God will be merciful to
somebody else, but I've lost any hope of being saved. Had you asked Peter during those
days of great despair, do you believe that Jesus Christ is
the son of God? He would have said absolutely
yes. Absolutely. I know he is. You see, the hope of our salvation
is not based on whether or not we believe that we're elect or
whether or not we're even saved. Do you believe, with all of your
heart, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Christ, the Son
of the Living God, the successful Savior of sinners? Peter believed
that. And in believing that, God restrained
him. God restrained him. And then,
don't you love it when the Lord told Mary at the resurrection,
at the open tomb, tell the disciples, and Peter, and Peter. Speak words of hope and comfort
to Peter that I have risen. So when we read these stories,
that the Lord makes clear are for our admonition, they're for
our encouragement, they're for our instruction. The Lord's not
saying so much, don't be like that, but rather, you are like
that. And if I don't restrain you,
you'll do exactly what they did. And that will cause a mercy beggar
to cry out for help. The Lord saves the weak, the
sinful. Look at verse 1 of chapter 10. Moreover, brethren, I would not
that you should be without knowledge. I want you to understand what
you are. Paul said we know that the law
is spiritual. But I am carnal. I'm a slave to sin. I'm sold
under sin. Who shall deliver me from the
body of this death? Robert, you preach from that
Wednesday night. Thanks be to God. Through Christ Jesus I am
free. So now there's no condemnation
to them who are in Christ Jesus. Brother, I don't want you to
be ignorant. as to what happened to those
children of Israel in the Old Testament, how that all our fathers
were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were
all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did
all eat the same spiritual meat. They ate that manna. They didn't
know what it was. That's what manna means, you
know that. What is it? That's what they said. The first
morning they came out and saw the man on the road. What is
it? And the ones he's talking about now never did know what
it was. They didn't know what it was.
They didn't know that it was a foreshadowing, a picture of
the Messiah who would be sent from God, by God, from heaven
to save his people. The bread of life. the one who
was white like coriander seed, the one who was sweet, the one
who was able to sustain their life in the wilderness. Moses
didn't give you that bread that came down from heaven. Our Lord
said, my father gave you that bread. I am the bread of life. They call it man of the whole
lives. What the Lord is saying is there were Israelites who
were exposed to the gospel but they never believed it. There
was a rock. Every time they'd pick up camp
and move to a new place in the wilderness, being led by the
cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night. And Scripture
makes it clear in Exodus. You remember when the Egyptians
were chasing the Israelites out of Egypt? And they almost caught
up with them, and God put a pillar, a cloud, between the Egyptians
and the Israelites, and the scripture says that the Egyptian side of
the cloud was darkness, and the Israelite side of the cloud was
light. That cloud was Christ. It's the
gospel. It'll harden some, and it'll
soften others. It's a saver of life, and it's
a saver of death. That rock, every time they'd
pick up camp and move to a new place, that's the same rock that
was at the last place, yep. That's the rock that Moses smote
with a rod, isn't it? Picture of the law of God smiting
the Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross, satisfying its justice
out from which flows living water. And Moses smote the rock twice,
didn't he? And for that, God didn't let
him go into the promised land. Being a picture of the law, he
couldn't go in. The law can only get its justice
one time. God's satisfied. He's satisfied. It pleased the Lord to bruise
him. He thrust the sword of his justice
into the heart of his own son on Calvary's cross, who bore
our sins in his body upon that tree, satisfying divine justice
once and for all, putting away our sins. All these pictures,
what God's saying is, these Israelites, the manna was there, the rock
was there, the water was there, the cloud was there, the fire
was there, they were all under the gospel. Now I'm speaking
to somebody this morning who's been sitting under the gospel
all their life and hadn't believed it. Don't think that because you've
been under the gospel, or exposed to the gospel, or have some biblical
knowledge, or some theological truths, that you're saved. That's exactly what this passage
is saying. Being exposed to the gospel is
not salvation. All these Israelites had the
gospel preached to them every day. Every day. Now, the child of God is crying
right now, Lord, don't let me deceive myself. I can confuse
knowledge with faith. I can do it. Lord, if you don't reveal yourself
to me, I'll comfort myself in thinking because I've got some
understanding that therefore I have Christ. Lord, don't let
me be like these children of Israel. I'm too much like them. Lord, save me. That's what this,
let him who thinketh that he stand take heed lest he fall.
You see, the Lord is exposing the weakness of his people by
saying to us, you're just like them. And they spent 40 years
watching and hearing the gospel preached every day and they didn't
believe it. They did not believe it. Joshua and Caleb were the only
two that the Lord, Lord killed off every, every one of those
unbelieving Israelites. One of the examples he's going
to give is that they tempted the Lord. How did they tempt
the Lord? When the spies came back from spying out the promised
land, what did they say? They said, oh, we're grasshoppers
in their sight. We can't take that land. There's
giants in the land. And Joshua, a picture of Christ,
Jehovah saves, that's his name. Joshua was the one that had to
bring the children of Israel across the river of death. That's
what Jordan means. Jordan means death. Moses couldn't
bring him across. The law can't save you. And Jesus
is Joshua. And Caleb, I remember when Caleb
was born. And in the Hispanic culture,
you don't name boys Caleb. Why? Because Caleb means dog. It means a faithful dog. And
I remember Hugo and Zobey were getting stuff from their family
members. You've named your son a dog?
Well, Caleb, that's the church. That's the church. The faithful
dog following after Joshua, Christ. They're the only two that came
into the Promised Land. Everybody else died in the wilderness.
Why? Because they didn't believe God.
They did not believe God. They had the gospel preached
to them every day. The rock was there, the manna
was there, the water was there, the cloud was there, the fire
was there. Everything that God gave to the children of Israel
to point to Christ. And they didn't know what it
was. And with many of them, verse
5, I'm sorry, and they all drank the same spiritual drink, verse
4, And they drank of that spiritual rock that, and the word there
is not followed, went with them. The rock wasn't following them,
the rock was with them. And that rock was Christ. What did Moses say when he got
on Mount Sinai? Lord, I've seen all these glorious
demonstrations of your power, but I want to see your glory.
I want to see your glory. And the Lord said, come here,
Moses, I've got a place near unto me, and it's a rock, and
I'm going to hide you in the rock, and I'm going to cover
up the cleft of that rock, and I'm going to cause my backside
to pass by, and I'm going to declare my name unto you. The
Lord is merciful. and kind and gracious, putting
away the iniquity and the sins of His people. That rock was
Christ. And that's His work. That's what
He accomplished. He put away our sin. We can't
put away our own sin. We can't satisfy the justice
of God for not one sin. If the Lord should mark iniquity,
who could stand? If God took the one sin from
your life and my life and charged us for it, we would, according
to the holy justice of God, have to spend eternity in hell for
that one sin. Christ put them all away. They
didn't see it. They drank the water from the
rock. They didn't know the rock was Christ. They didn't know
the water was life. And with many of them, verse
five, God was not well pleased for they were overthrown in the
wilderness. Now these things were our examples
to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as
they also lusted. What did the children of Israel
do? They lusted after evil things. You know anything about that?
They were guilty of idolatry. You know anything about that?
God said, thou shalt not have any other gods before me. Anything we put in our hearts
above God, we've made an idol out of it, haven't we? We're
just incurable idolaters, aren't we? We're just like them. They committed fornication with
the Moabites. They were not satisfied with
the bread that came down from heaven. They were eating the
same thing over and over and over again. What did they say?
We loathe this light bread. We want a salvation based on
works. We're not content with a salvation
that gives to another all the glory. We want to take some credit
for ourselves. And then they murmured and complained. And every time you and I murmur
and complain, we're raising our fists to heaven and we're accusing
God of doing wrong. Mark it down. We do it. We do
it. Accusing God of wrongdoing every
single time. Are you like the Israelites?
Let him who thinketh that he stand take heed lest he fall. Verse seven, neither be ye idolaters
as were some of them, as it is written, the people sat down
to eat and drink and rose up to play when Moses was up on
the mountain getting the law from God. What was Aaron doing?
Well, you know, the people gave me these earrings and stuff and
I threw them into the fire and out popped the, you know, this
golden calf. What were they doing? They were going back to Egypt,
weren't they? Going back to Egypt. It's what we do. Trusting in
the leeks and the melons and the garlics, the things that
grow in the ground rather than the bread came down from heaven. Oftentimes, we put our comfort,
our happiness, our hope, and our trust in the things of this
world rather than resting in Christ. These things are for
our example, to say unto us, you're just like them. What are
you going to do? You see, I want you to be suspicious
of yourself. I want you to take sides with
God against yourself. I want you to suspect yourself
of being just like these folks. Neither let us commit fornication
as some of them committed and fell in one day three and twenty
thousand." They took the Moabites, the Moabite women, and the Lord
sent a plague and killed 23,000 of them. Neither let us tempt Christ as
some of them also were tempted and were destroyed of serpents. Michael just read of that. And
Christ said, as the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up. And I, if I be lifted up,
will draw all men to myself. Why was Christ fashioned in the
form of a serpent? Because that serpent represents
sin, and he bore our sin in his body. And you know what the children
of Israel did after that? They made an idol out of that
brazen serpent. They built a temple around that
serpent and started worshiping the serpent. And Hezekiah came
along and said, you can't do that. And he called it a worthless
piece of brass. And you know what he did? He
ground it up into powder and mixed it with water and made
the people drink it. Now what's the significance of
that? That thing that they made an
idol out of became dung. What you drink ends up becoming
dung, doesn't it? And that's exactly what happened
to it, and that's what Paul meant. Those things which I thought
were gain to me, I now count but loss for the excellency of
the knowledge of Christ, and I count all things but dung that
I might win him. But we're so idolatrous, aren't
we? We'll just worship Him. We'll
worship our knowledge. We'll replace Christ so quickly
and easily with anything and everything. And that's what the
Lord is saying to us. Suspect yourself. You're just
like them. You're doing exactly in your
heart what they did. And if I don't restrain you,
you'll die in the wilderness. Lord, restrain me, save me, have
mercy upon me. Neither murmur ye as, verse 10,
as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer. You know anything about murmuring?
Sure you do. Sure you do. Things don't go right, well,
we're so quick to complain, aren't we? The Lord said, rejoice in the
Lord always. And again, and again, I said,
rejoice. Rejoicing in Christ is the opposite
of murmuring, isn't it? But we're so, the flesh is so
quick to murmur. The Spirit of God's the only
one that can cause us to rejoice. He's the only one that can set
our affections on Christ. He's the only one that can cause
us to think upon those things which are good and holy and just.
If there be any good report, if there be any virtue in them,
think on these things. Look to Christ. We are completely
dependent upon the Spirit of God to turn our eyes, our affections,
away from the things of the world and set them on Christ. We won't
do it. We can't do it. And that's what the Lord's saying
here. You're just like them. And if you don't cry out for
mercy, if I don't give you mercy, if I don't cause you to look
to Christ, your end will be the same. Now these things happened
unto them for examples, and they are written for our instruction. That's the word there, admonition. to teach us what we are by nature, upon whom the ends of the world
are come. And when the Bible talks about
the end of the world, it's talking about that entire period of time
between the first and second coming of Christ. So we're in
the end of the world. And I'm hopeful that we're in
the end of the end of the world. Sure seems like it in so many
ways. The Lord has, let me just say
this, the Lord has revealed the time of his second coming in
such a way as to give every generation of believers the hope of anticipating
it in their time, in their life. And if you don't hope and anticipate
his coming in your life, well, We saw that in 2 Timothy earlier,
didn't we? Those who are watching and waiting
with anticipation are the ones he's coming for. Wherefore, wherefore, see this
is the verse that makes sense of all of this. You know, we
can become like, we can be like that naive, self-righteous young
person who says, I'm not going to be like my parents. Or we can say, oh Lord, I'm just
like him. I'm just like him. Save me. Save me. Let him who thinketh
that he stand take heed lest he fall. Now that's the suspicion part. And I want us to leave here so
suspicious of ourselves. that we don't trust ourselves.
We're the true circumcision who worship God in the Spirit and
rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. That's
what the Lord's saying. Don't have any confidence in
your ability, in your flesh, in your commitments, in your
determination. That's what religion's all about.
Religion's all about, you know, just be more committed. Now,
I'll tell you, I shared this with you. The word commitment
is nowhere to be found in the Bible. And that's what all of
religion is about. It's about commitment. Now to commit our soul unto him
who is able to save, that's to put all our hope in Christ. And that's the difference between
the gospel and man-made religion of rules and regulations and
the commandments and traditions of men. So, the Lord causes us to see
that we're just like them. We will commit our souls to Christ. Look at the next verse, verse
13. There hath no temptation, no trial, No testing, no sin
in your life, but such as is common to all men. We're in this
boat together. So preacher, you just don't understand
what I've done and what I've been through and what I'm having
to go through. God says, you're just like me and I'm just like
you and we're all in this thing together. sinners, unable to
save ourselves, unable to satisfy the demands of God's law, unable
to make up for one of our sins, just like the Israelites, just
like them. We're murmuring, idolatrous,
fornicating sons of Adam, and we're in need of a savior. And they had the Savior preach
to them every day and they didn't believe it. There hath no temptation taken
you, but such as is common to man. But God is faithful. Now there's a place to put your
confidence. The faithfulness of God. He's
faithful to save to the uttermost them that come to Him by faith,
looking to Christ. He's faithful. Christ was faithful
to the Father. being found in him, not having
my own righteousness which is of the law, but that righteousness
which is by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. He is faithful. God is pleased with him. He's
faithful to suffer the full guilt and shame of sin. You and I came
and do that. We don't have a clue. I mentioned
this last Sunday. What did the Lord say from the
cross? Father forgive them for they
know not what they do. You and I don't know what we've
done. We don't know how bad our sin is. I had people say to me,
oh, you just don't know what I've done or how terrible I feel
or how bad my sin is. I've had somebody tell me recently,
you know, about having killed somebody. And I said, you know,
it's a whole lot worse than you think. You don't know how bad
it is. But he did. He does. He is able to save to the uttermost. He is able to succor them. Why?
Because He bore our sins and our shame, and He made them His
own, and God made Him sin who knew no sin, that we might be
made the righteousness of God in Him. What a glorious, faithful
God we serve. He's faithful. We're not faithful. He is. There hath no temptation taken
you, but such as is common to all men, but God is faithful. He will not suffer you to be
tempted above that which you are able." I can't tell you how
many people over the years have told me, God won't put more on
you than you can bear. And they get it right from that
verse, but the problem is they stop reading it right there where
I just stopped. If God doesn't put more on you
than you can bear, you'll never be saved. Now I'm not talking
about the circumstances of your life. Plenty of folks have gotten under
very difficult circumstances, become religious, and never know
Christ. I'm talking about the burden
of your sin. A guilt before God that you can't
get rid of. You can't satisfy it. You can't
atone for it. Come unto me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
you, for I am meek and lowly of heart. My burden is light,
my yoke is easy. Learn of me." You see, there's
a whole lot of folks laboring under the law trying to put away
their sin, but they're not heavy burdened. Coming to me all ye
that labor and are heavy burdened. The burden's too heavy. I've
tried getting rid of it. I've tried laboring. I can't
do anything about it. I need a savior. I need that
rock. I need that manna. I need that
water. I need that cloud. That cloud
that was darkness to the Egyptians and light to the Israelites.
Oh, I need Christ. Who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that which you are able. If God ever puts your
sin on you, you'll have a burden you can't carry. It's just that
simple. You'll have death and hell staring
you in the face and you won't have any way out except to flee
to Christ. And that's what the last part
of this verse is talking about. But will with The temptation. Provide. And that's what he's
done. He has provided a way. The way. I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No man can come to the Father
but by me. He has provided the way of escape. Do you need to escape? Do you
need a city of refuge? Is the avenger of blood hot on
your heels? Is sin too strong for you? Is
Satan too powerful? Is death too real? Are you just like the Israelites? Come to Christ. The Spirit and
the Bride say, Come. Come right now in your heart. Lord, save me. That's what Peter
prayed, didn't he? And immediately the Lord reached
down His hand and lifted him up. You know how that story ends?
Peter walking on the water and the Lord saving him. And the Scripture says immediately
they were on the other side. And that's where we'll be, on
the other side. Suspicious of yourself and confident
in Him. Let's pray. Our Heavenly Father,
we're thankful for exposing us for what we are. And we're thankful,
Lord, that you have provided the way of escape, thy dear son,
as our savior and our life. We pray that you would keep us
from remaining like the Israelites in our hearts, and that you would
give us, Lord, the faith to cry out for mercy. Oh, it's in Christ's name we
ask it. Amen. Number 23. Number 23. Let's stand together. Pass me not, O gracious Father,
sinful, wretched though I be. Though you might in truth condemn
me, let your mercy fall on me. Love of God so everlasting, Blood
of Christ so rich and free, Grace of God so strong and saving,
Magnify them all in me. Pass me not, O blessed Savior,
let me hear your gracious call. I'm a guilty, helpless sinner,
Savior, at your feet I fall. Love of God so everlasting, Blood
of Christ so rich and free, Grace of God so strong and saving,
Magnify them all in me. Pass me not, O mighty Spirit. You can cause the dead to live. Speak the word of saving power. Give me faith and make me live. Love of God so everlasting, Blood
of Christ so rich and free, Grace of God so strong and saving,
Magnify them all in me. Pass me not a poor lost sinner,
If you will, you can save me. Reach down with your hand of
mercy, Saving others, Lord, save me. Love of God so everlasting,
Blood of Christ so rich and free, Grace of God so strong and saving,
Magnify them all in me. Thank you.
