Good evening. Let's begin our
evening service by standing and singing 112. All glory to Jehovah's
name 112. All glory to Jehovah's name,
Almighty God, our King. His truth and faithfulness proclaim,
His grace and mercy sing. He spoke in love ere time began,
his purposes of grace, which form the glorious gospel plan
to save his chosen race. Spoke the promises that shine
upon the sacred page. In Christ they are, yea, and
amen, secure from age to age. Though rest my soul, my heart
be stilled, Jehovah cannot lie. All that he spoke shall be fulfilled,
none that we can rely. Good evening. Take your Bibles and turn to
2 Corinthians chapter 4. I'm going to read the whole chapter. 2 Corinthians chapter 4. Therefore, seeing we have this
ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not, but have
renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness,
nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation
of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in
the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it
is hid to them that are lost, in whom the God of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus'
sake. For God, who commanded the light
to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in
earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and
not of us. We are troubled on every side,
yet not distressed. We are perplexed, but not in
despair. persecuted, but not forsaken,
cast down, but not destroyed, always bearing about in the body
the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might
be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always
delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus
might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. So then death worketh
in us, but life in you. We having the same spirit of
faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have
I spoken. We also believe, and therefore
speak, knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall
raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For
all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might,
through the thanksgiving of many, redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not, but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory, while we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things
which are seen are temporal. but the things which are not
seen are eternal. Let's pray. Our gracious Lord,
we thank you for your great mercy, that you would take a people,
a sinful people, a people unworthy of your name, that you would
redeem us by the precious blood of your son. and that you would
reveal these things, the mystery of your gospel to us, that you
would give us this ministry to testify and bear witness of the
Lord Jesus Christ, that he is salvation, whom God has provided
for his people, and there's not another. Lord, thank you for
your spirit, for your mercy that reveals Christ to us, that shows
us Christ and our need of him and his all-sufficiency for us. Lord, we thank you for gathering
us together here this night to hear your word. Lord, we ask
that your presence would be here among us and in our hearts, on
our minds, help us to hear, to receive and believe your word. that we would be fixed in the
Lord Jesus Christ, that we would see him, rejoice in him and live
in him. Lord, without you, we're nothing.
And so Lord, we ask that you would bless the word tonight
and that you would bless this work here, ministering this gospel
to your people. that you would continue the work,
and Lord, bless us here, and Lord, gather in your sheep, if
there be others in this area, bring them in as well. Lord,
help us with our infirmities, that you would heal our bodies,
heal us of our sicknesses. But Lord, even if you do not
heal us, we pray that you would keep us ever looking to the Lord
Jesus Christ. and Him alone, serving and ministering
to others, even as you've ministered this word to our hearts. We thank
you for our Savior. We thank you for those that labor
with us here. It's in the name of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, that we pray this. Amen. Let's say 114, pass me not, 114. Bless 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. Bless 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. Ask 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. Bless 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. take your Bibles and turn to
Isaiah 51. Isaiah 51 and I want to look
at verses 17 through 23. What the Lord is doing here is He's making
His people witnesses of His grace. He's making us witnesses of His
salvation in His Son. And so He gives us the experience
of His grace. And He shows us that salvation
is in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. And he shows us, therefore, that
those works and those things which we look to previously in
the flesh, they're all vain confidences. They cannot save. They're worthless
works. And so we let them go. We don't hold on to those things
because we've been brought to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ
by faith. We trust Him. We believe that
He is the Savior and He is the salvation that God has provided. And so that's what our Lord is
doing here in this text. That's what He's doing. He's
bringing us to confess, to bear witness that Christ is all, that
He is all. I titled this, Made Witnesses
of Christ. made witnesses of Christ. And
so we begin here where the Lord comes to his people in verse
17 and he uses that same sense of urgency that they used with
him previously in this passage when they were crying out in
verse 9 to their champion to awake. Well now he says awake. Verse 17, Awake, stand up, O
Jerusalem, which has drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup
of his fury. Thou hast drunken the dregs of
the cup of trembling, and wrung them out. Meaning there's nothing
left. And what the Lord is showing
there is that the chastening that he purposed to accomplish
in his people is accomplished. It's accomplished. They've wrung
them out. And what I want to focus on here
right now is this first part where the Lord says, Awake! Awake! Stand up, O Jerusalem! Now it's the Lord we know. It's
the Lord who gives us our strength. It's the Lord who works this
urgency that we have. He works this Word in us. He
shows us the Lord Jesus Christ. It's the Spirit which our God
gives to us that makes us to know Christ, to know His salvation. And then it follows that the
works and the efforts of the Church and the urgency by which
she acts, it's always the result of our God's effectual grace,
working in His people by His Spirit. He's the one that works
in us and teaches us. He's the one that keeps us and
guides us. First, we see here where he says,
awake, awake, stand up. We know that the Lord does that
initially when he raises his people up from spiritual death. And he makes them alive in the
Lord Jesus Christ. And we also know that the Lord
awakes his people even as we go, when we fall into to a sleep,
a slumber, a stupor of sin. It's the Lord who comes and shakes
us up and brings us back to himself to arise and address the needs
of the church in her present day in that hour. and the Lord
stirs up His church. In Ephesians chapter 5 verses
13 and 14 we read there that all things that are reproved
are made manifest by the light. For whatsoever doth make manifest
is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou
that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give
thee light. And what the Lord is doing in
these verses, in this context, in our text here, when He says,
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, He's calling us to be witnesses
of His grace. He's calling us to minister this
grace to others to be witnesses of his grace and mercy in the
Lord Jesus Christ. He's calling us to testify of
the testimony of Jesus which is given and sent throughout
the earth to the people. So when we read this call here,
awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem. It's the call of God to his people,
and it's made effectual in them by the Spirit of God. They're being called to minister
and witness of his grace. Turn over to Acts, Acts 26. I want to show you this, that
when we see this stand, this standing up, the Lord is speaking,
He's calling His people to be witnesses, to minister this word
to others. Acts 26 verse 15 and 16. Paul's testifying of his calling
by the Lord. And Paul said, Who art thou,
Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. But rise
and stand upon thy feet, for I have appeared unto thee for
this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things
which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will
appear unto thee. And the Lord is alluding to the
two-fold witness which he gives to his people when he says both
of these things. Now, our Lord is the one who
established his church. And he established his church.
He founds his church upon the testimony and the witness of
the prophets and the apostles. Let me turn over to Ephesians
chapter 2. Ephesians 2 and verse 20. And there we read that we, the
church, are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. And so we
see there that the apostles and the prophets were given the witness
by God, and it's Christ who overall is making it effectual in our
hearts, and they're bearing witness of Christ. Even Moses, in Exodus
33, he was told to stand upon a rock. And we stand upon Christ
and we testify and bear witness of our God, of our Savior, of
our Lord. And he stood upon that rock when
the Lord passed by and declared his name to him, and saying that
he is merciful and gracious to whom he will be merciful and
compassionate to." We see here that the Lord gives
his people a witness. And what do we find in Revelation
being spoken of in Revelation? We find that there are two witnesses,
right? We hear of these two witnesses
in Revelation. Turn over there to Revelation
11. We'll see that Revelation 11,
verse three and four. Our Lord says, and I will give
power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy 1,260
days clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees
and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And when our Lord was here, Speaking
of his sending of his spirit, he told us, he said, he shall
testify of me. We know it's the spirit of God.
when he testifies of Christ, when he points his people to
the Lord Jesus Christ. We're not testifying of other
ways, other religions, other paths, other works of salvation. We speak of the Lord Jesus Christ,
who alone is the salvation of God. And so it's the spirit that
takes these two witnesses, that takes these two tools or these
two utensils used of God to declare that testimony of Jesus, the
testimony of Jesus, which comes from Revelation 19.10, by the
way. And so the Spirit is taking these
two witnesses, and He's declaring the testimony of Jesus in the
earth. And He makes it effectual in
the hearts of His people, upon whom He'll be merciful and compassionate,
too. Okay, so what are these two witnesses? What are these two witnesses
by which the Spirit testifies to our hearts? Well, one is the
Word of God, the Word of God. And the other witness is his
church, bearing witness, testimony of the grace of God shown to
us in the Lord Jesus Christ. And so the Word of God, what
does the Word of God do? The Word of God declares, shows
us the truth of Christ, right? Testifying how that the Son of
God came in the flesh, He took upon Him flesh, that He might
come and be a surety for His people, that He would be the
sacrifice for His people, that He would be their Savior. And He went to the cross, and
He died upon the cross, shedding His blood to make atonement for
our sins. And He was buried, and He was
raised again for our justification. And we see that actually even,
1 Corinthians 15, 3 and 4 says, For I delivered unto you, Paul
says, first of all that which I also received, how that Christ
died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures. Our God has given us these scriptures,
and he sent us, he's given the church the testimony to declare,
to show this, to reveal this word to the people and showing
and declaring that God from beginning, from the beginning of this book
to the end of this book, that God's purpose was to redeem a
people by His Son. That's our witness. That's the
witness of this word and we're declaring to you exactly what
our God has declared to us in his word and showing these things
to be true. Our Lord said, you are witnesses
of these things. Luke 24, verse 48, there were
witnesses of these things. And so, because of that, we testify
of the grace of our God in his son. In Luke 24, verse 47, he
even says that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name. And that sounds like a complex
thing, that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in
his name, and especially when we've gone to churches for so
long, churches so called, and spent so much time, it sounds
like, oh boy, I'm gonna have to spend years in catechism class
learning about repentance, and learning the sins that I'm doing,
so that I know how to repent of those sins, right? It sounds
like a complex, deep thing, but what he's saying there is, We
preach repentance, that is, all the other ways that you're looking
to, all the hopes of man, all his religions, all his works,
that he's looking to and doing in order to make a righteousness
for himself or to make himself accepted with God. Repent of
those things. Turn from those things. They're
not salvation. They cannot save you. They don't
wash you from your sins. They don't obtain any forgiveness
or mercy with God by doing those things. Be turned from them. Repent of them and be turned
to the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone is the salvation of
God. That's the one in whom is forgiveness
of sins. So we preach repentance and remission
or forgiveness of sins. We declare the Lord Jesus Christ. That's the testimony of Jesus. That's the mystery kept secret
now being made known by the gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ. That's what our God has given
us to be witnesses of. This is the doctrine of Christ
and we declare it and it's the Spirit of God who makes it effectual
in the hearts of whom he will, right? Because we can read the
word, and we can preach the word, and we can hear the word preached,
but unless the spirit makes it effectual in our hearts, we're
not benefited by it, not according to the things of life. And so
this is what our God is doing here in our text. He's calling
us, making us witnesses of Christ. And when we declare that Christ
is all, we're testifying that all the other hopes of man are
vain and worthless. All the other hopes of man are
vain and worthless. If you're still in Revelation
or have a mark there, I'm gonna read verse five, Revelation 11,
five. It says there about these two
witnesses, that if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out
of their mouth and devoureth their enemies. And if any man
will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. And the gospel
is our one weapon, both offensive and defensive. That's all that
we have is the gospel. We preach Christ crucified. That's what the church is here
on the earth to do, to bear testimony, to bear witness that God is merciful
and gracious in the one whom he sent, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, what is this fire, right? It's the gospel. It's the gospel.
In other words, when John saw Christ, he describes him as his
eyes being a flame of fire. And so when we open our mouths
to declare this gospel, if any come against us, if any would
come against the truth of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, and
we preach this gospel, what we're doing is declaring things as
Christ. whose eyes are a flame of fire.
We're declaring them as he sees it. His eyes are a flame of fire,
meaning that he's pure and righteous and holy and declaring the truth
as he sees it, as the Lord Jesus Christ sees it, and it burns
up all the hopes and the confidences of man. That's what we witness. That's what we declare. Our Lord
then burns up the hopes that man has because the hope of Christ
condemns all other hopes. The hope of Christ condemns all
other hopes. He burns up every confidence
of man. And that's what our Lord is doing
here. He's saying, awake, awake, stand
up, O Jerusalem, which has drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup
of his fury. Thou has drunken the dregs of
the cup of trembling and wrung them out. So that the Lord, what
he's doing is he's brought us to see that we have no hope but
Christ. And in this text here he dresses
us down, he strips us down of all the confidences of this flesh
so that we see in this flesh I have no wisdom, I have no righteousness,
I have no sanctifying works wherewith to boast and to boldly come before
God in the things that I've done in this flesh. I have no redemption. I can't work my way out of that
which I've ruined and destroyed. I'm a sinner unable to save myself. He takes these away and turns
our eyes to behold the Lord Jesus Christ. So when our Lord does
this, it's not punishment. When he brings us and strips
us of the strength and the confidence and the boasting of this flesh,
it's not punishment for his people. It's a chastening. It's a chastening,
working the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which
are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12.11. So we having the
spirit and calling of our God by his grace, we have this word
made effectual in our hearts. And so he says, awake, awake,
stand up, oh Jerusalem. And if you can see past the historical, if you could see past the historical
captivity that Israel went into, behold Christ. In whom we have
drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury, thou hast
drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them
out, so that our Lord is declaring to us that salvation is accomplished
in his Son. He's put away your sin. He's
put away your death. He's obtained for you his child,
who has no other hope but him. He's obtained life eternal. He's obtained forgiveness for
you and fellowship with your God. So, He brings us to see
the deadness of our works so that we want nothing more to
do with them but only to be found in the Lord Jesus Christ. So,
from here, what I want to do with these remaining verses is
show you five things, five things from this text that our Lord
removes from our hand, so that we have no confidence in those
things anymore, but instead our Lord and Savior has made unto
us wisdom. and righteousness and sanctification
and redemption. He's made all to us and we find
that he himself has defeated all our foes. I'll be brief with
these. First, the Lord shows us that
all our ways, all our thoughts are vain and worthless. meaning they cannot save us,
they don't make us to stand before God. You know, actually it's
in Psalm 1-5, the Lord tells us that those who would come
in their own works, it says, therefore the ungodly shall not
stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation. of the righteous. So we don't come in our own works.
The Lord takes that away. Unless we should be judged eternally
by Him and perish in our sins. But He takes away all these things
so that we see they will not save us. They don't reveal to
us by them. They don't reveal the true and
living God to us. And so he says in verse 18 to
Jerusalem here, there's none to guide her among all the sons
whom she hath brought forth, neither is there any that taketh
her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up. You
think of man's religion. You think of all the religions
that man has invented, and all his ways, and all the things
that he looks to as a guide in order to reach God. But none
of it can save him. None of it takes away the guilt
of sin, and the shame of sin, and the stain of sin. None of
it can remove Our sin. So all other gods, all other
ways, all the other paths of man, they do not lead us out
of darkness and they do not lead us unto God or set us at liberty. But our Lord tells us of Him,
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom. Christ is our wisdom. He's our
God. Now all these other ways perished
from us. but Christ is our God and he
leads us to our God. He leads us to life because he
himself is life. All right, second, when man fell
in sin, immediately the plague of sin filled his heart. So that
man is not righteous, man is sinful. We ourselves in this
flesh are not righteous, we are sinful. All of us are full of
sin. and have no righteousness to
stand before a holy God. We're told God made man upright,
but they have sought out many inventions. We've gone astray. We've rebelled against the true
and living God, and so we have no fellowship with our Lord. Our sin has separated you from
between you and your God, right? Our sin separates us from the
true and living God, and so We're followed by sorrow and misery.
We make sorrow and misery of our own hands all our days. And the Lord says it this way
here in verse 19, Isaiah 51, 19. These two things are come
unto thee. Who shall be sorry for thee?
Desolation and destruction and the famine and the sword. By
whom shall I comfort thee? So this desolation, it's brought
on by the plague of sin. It's what separates us from our
God, and we're left. We have no life. We have no light
and no fellowship with God. And then there's destruction.
These are the wars that arise in our hearts due to our sin. Men warring with men, nations
warring with nations, all as a result of our sin. Famine,
which arises out of wars and really out of the wickedness
of man. There's a dryness in our soul. There's no word. that we hear,
we have no feeding, nothing from the Lord when we're left to ourselves
in our sin. And the sword, which represents
all manner of death, the result of fallen man who has no light
or understanding of God. So the Lord's showing us that
our works are not righteous. It doesn't matter how religious
we are, we're full of pride, we're full of self-righteousness,
but we cannot work a righteousness whereby God will look at us and
justify us for our works. He's showing us that they're
not good, they're not righteous. He said at the end there of the
verse, by whom shall I comfort thee? All your works stink. I can't look at any of them and
say, well done. None of it's good or not righteous,
but of him. are ye in Christ Jesus, who of
God is made unto us righteousness." The Lord Jesus Christ is the
righteousness of His people. Third, man is unable to produce
good fruit. Today they look to the law, they
look to religion to try and produce good fruits whereby to sanctify
themselves that they might obtain favor with God. That's why people
in religion do good works. They're looking to obtain the
favor of God, that God would help them and be gracious to
them and make up the difference where they come short a little.
They're trusting their works for sanctification. But verse
20, our Lord says, thy sons, think of it as the fruit, your
works of your flesh, thy sons have fainted. They lie at the
head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net. They are full
of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. So that here all the works of
man, all their product of their flesh, became a snare to them. And they were entangled in their
sins. And the fury of God rested upon
them that trusted in those works. Turn over to Romans chapter 7. Go to Romans chapter 7 and let's
look at verse 5 and 6. Paul says there, when we were
in the flesh, we were in religion, it was a religion of flesh, the
motions of sins which were by the law did work in our members
to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from
the law, that being dead, wherein we were held. You mean that we
were held like a bull, a wild bull, in a net and snared by
it, whereby we incurred the wrath of God by our good works, looking
to those things and trusting in those things? But we see here
that our God has delivered us that we should serve now in newness
of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. So we're not looking
to the law. We're not looking to our good
works. We're not looking to the fact
of being religious. We look to the Lord Jesus Christ
alone for our sanctification. And our Lord tells us of Him,
are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us sanctification. He is our sanctification. Fourth,
man is unable to deliver himself from the coming wrath and judgment
of God. But what we see is that the Lord
in grace and mercy has provided salvation full and free in His
Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He says now in verse 21 and 22,
Therefore, hear now this, thou afflicted and drunken, but not
with wine. Thus saith thy Lord, thee Lord,
and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people. Behold,
I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the
dregs of the cup of my fury. Thou shalt no more drink it again. So our God has removed all the
efforts, all the works that we were trusting in, where we thought
to make ourselves wise, and we thought to make ourselves righteous,
and we thought to sanctify ourselves, and to redeem ourselves, to crawl
out of the hole of our dungeon and bring ourselves into the
light of God to know him more. He's delivered us from all that. He's delivered us from the fear
of dying and the fear of the judgment of God, which we were
under when we were toiling away in religion and working hard
in religion to obtain God's favor in those things. So now we are
delivered by the Lord Jesus Christ. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us redemption." He's our redemption. He's purchased
us and brought us unto God. He's given us life in the Father. All those were taken from 1 Corinthians
1, verse 30, by the way, that verse there. Now fifth, and this
is our final one, because of the grace of God for you in Christ,
you're not going to war anymore. You're not going to be laboring
and trying to defeat your enemies and to silence them against you. It's not about you versus them. Your God, your champion, your
savior, your salvation has defeated all your foes. And he's done
this in the Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Verse 23. But I will put it, put what? The cup of trembling, even the
dregs of the cup of my fury into the hand of them that afflict
thee, which I've said to thy soul. And just hear this of how
you were in religion. That have said to thy soul, bow
down that we may go over and thou has laid thy body as the
ground And as the street to them, that went over. That's what we
did when we were fearful and afraid and couldn't get rid of
our sin and strove and tried everything to make God to be
pleased with us. And we would do anything to obtain
God's favor and none of it worked. All we were doing was just just
putting our faces down in the ground and being rolled over
upon by the law and by being defeated by sin and defeated
by the enemy. And so our God has made Christ
to be all things to his children. Believe him. rest in him, because
he tells us ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and holy
nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises
of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous
light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the
people of God, which have not obtained mercy, but now have
obtained mercy." 1 Peter 2. 9 and 10. And so we rejoice of
how our God has delivered us from that fear and that toiling
and that laboring and getting nowhere and finding no relief. Our God has revealed to us the
Lord Jesus Christ through the witness of his word and the church
declaring that this is what God has been showing us all along.
that His purpose is to redeem a people for Himself by the blood
of His Son. And all who look to Him and believe
Him shall find rest for their souls and peace and comfort and
forgiveness in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because that's the purpose
and will of God for His people. You that believe Him have life.
You have the Son, you have life. You have it all. I pray that
the Lord bless that word to your hearts. Let's close in prayer.
Our gracious Lord, we thank you, Father, for your grace and mercy,
which reveals to us the blessing of your Son. Lord, we thank you
for showing us the simplicity of Christ, how that it pleased
you to save a people, not that we would strive and and push
your grace aside and try and strive under the law and strive
in religion to make ourselves righteous, but that we would
let go of those things and rest in your Son, Jesus Christ. We
pray that you would indeed make this word effectual in our hearts. Help us, Lord, to see our Lord
and to believe him. It's in the name of our Lord
and Savior we pray this, amen. Let's stand and sing a closing
hymn, 137. What a day that will be, 137. Oh. There is coming a day when no
heartache shall come. No more clouds in the sky, no
more tears to dim the eye. All is peace forevermore on that
happy golden shore. What a day, glorious day that
will be. What a day that will be when
my Jesus I shall see, and I look upon his face, the one who saved
me by his grace, when he takes me by the hand and leads me through
the promised land. What a day, glorious day, that
will be! There'll be no sorrow there,
no more burdens to bear. No more sickness, no pain, no
more parting over there. And forever I will be with the
one who died for me. What a day, glorious day that
will be. What a day that will be, when
my Jesus I shall see, and I look upon his face, the one who saved
me by his grace, when he takes me by the hand and leads me through
the promised land. What a day, glorious day, that
will be. Thank you.
