I'm going to go live on this
thing. Good evening, everyone. Let us
stand and open our evening's worship service by singing 127.
Hallelujah, what a Savior, 127. Man of sorrows, what a name for
the Son of God who came, ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah, what a Savior. Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood, Sealed my pardon with His blood. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Guilty, vile,
and helpless we, spotless Lamb of God was He, full atonement
can it be? Hallelujah, what a Savior! it up was he to die it is finished
was his cry now in heaven exalted high hallelujah what a savior
When He comes, our glorious King, All His ransom home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing, Hallelujah, what a Savior! Thank you. Turn with me to Ephesians chapter
2. We'll begin in verse 1. Ephesians 2, 1. And you hath he quickened who
were dead in trespasses and sins, wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world. according to the Prince
of the Power of the Air, the Spirit, that now worketh in the
children of disobedience, among whom also we all had our conversation
in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires
of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature the children
of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy
for his great love, wherewith he loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace
ye are saved, and hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages
to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of
works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained. that we should walk in them. Let's pray. Our gracious Lord,
we thank you, Father, for your sovereign grace and
your mercy upon your people. Guilty sinners condemned to die. But Lord, in mercy and in grace,
you sent your son who did all for us, all that
was necessary in bringing your children, sons and daughters,
reconciling them to you, making us righteous and holy, accepted
of our God. Lord, we thank you for this grace.
We thank you for your gospel. We thank you for your spirit
and for giving us life by your son. for doing all things. Lord, we thank you for our brethren.
We thank you for this place to meet in, a place where we can
hear the gospel, where we can see our Savior lifted up and
hear his voice. Father, help us. We pray that
your spirit would be poured out upon us, that you would help
me, Lord, as the pastor here, Lift up the voice with the voice
of the Son of God, that in harmony we would declare the gospel and
that your people would be fed and comforted and encouraged,
settled and at peace. Lord, that we would look to you
continually and trust you. Father, we pray that you would
establish this work here, and that you would stir up the hearts
of your people in this part of the country, that they would
seek after righteousness, that righteousness which is found
in your son Jesus Christ alone, and that you would cause them
to hear the gospel here, and that they would be drawn to meet with us here and that
they would find us and be drawn here and that they would hear
the voice of the Son of God and that they would live and be fed
and join with this body here. Lord, help us, for we have nothing
and are nothing apart from you. You're all our strength. You're
all our wisdom. You're all our righteousness.
You are our hope. Lord, bless your people now. Bless your people throughout
this country and throughout this world that are meeting together
to worship and praise our God. We pray that we would be helped
by your spirit even now. It's in the name of our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, that we pray this. And Lord, we also
pray for our brethren. We pray for Scott, that you help
him as he's not feeling well and rarely is during the week. At night, Lord, we pray that
you would help him. We pray that you would be with
Edgar, too, who's sick and running a fever, that you would comfort
all your people that are sick and weary and struggling, Lord. Bless them. We pray this in the
name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. As you remain sitting, let's
sing 110. Alas, and did my Savior bleed 110. Alas, and did my Saviour bleed,
and did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head
for such a worm as I? Was it for crimes that I have
done He groaned upon the tree Amazing pity, grace unknown And
love beyond degree Well might the sun in darkness
hide, and shut his glories in, when Christ the mighty Maker
died, for man the creature sinned. But drops of grief can ne'er
repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away,
tis all that I can do. Thank you. Turn with me to Isaiah 50. Isaiah chapter 50, and we'll
be looking at verses 6 through 9. Isaiah 56 through 9. Now, the
words here in this chapter, they're spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ,
our Savior. They were spoken by Him when
He came in the flesh. And the reason why He came in
the flesh was to deliver His people, to deliver them from
the bondage, the condemnation, and the death that we had earned
by the works of our flesh, by our sin. And He came as our mediator,
as our Savior, as our Almighty God and Savior to deliver His
people. And when He came in the flesh,
and what we see here spoken by our Lord in this chapter, Isaiah
50, we see dependence. We see His dependence. upon his
God. And when I say that, I don't
mean that he was not God himself. He is the Son of God. But our God sent his Son in the
flesh as our mediator, as our surety, to be our sacrifice. He came in the flesh to lay down
his life. to redeem a people with his own
blood, to purchase them, to make them righteous in himself. And so he came in weakness, wholly
dependent upon his God. We see him praying to the Father,
looking to the Father, trusting the Father, being faithful to
the Father in all things that he might work our salvation and
obtain eternal redemption for his people. Our Lord says in
Psalm 89.21, With whom my hand shall be established, mine arm
also shall strengthen him. Our God strengthened his son
in this work of obedience for us. And so our Lord's coming
in weakness is a help for us. It's a comfort for us. because
we see our own weaknesses, and we see our own frailty, and our
own failings, and our own coming short in all things, but that
he himself trusted the Lord, and it's his faith which is given
to us whereby we live upon him. We don't trust and believe our
God because we see ourselves as strong, and mighty, and conquerors
in this flesh. We see ourselves as weak. as
unrighteous in ourselves, as sinners, sinners saved with a
good hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, who's given us this hope in Him,
and so we trust Him. As he trusted the Father, whose
help he trusted him, so we trust him to help us in our hour of
need. And as I was looking at this
and beholding, just looking at the faithfulness of our Savior,
as we see his faithfulness here, what an encouragement it is to
us. who have nothing in ourselves
and can't make a thing happen or work something for ourselves,
but must depend upon our God. And we see Jesus. And we see
His faithfulness, ever looking to the Father, depending upon
Him, and what a help that is to us, especially in this world,
which hates our God, hates the Christ, hates His people, hates
His gospel, and we're faced with do I hide myself and protect
myself or do I trust the Lord to work His will and trust that
He's put me here in the situation, whatever situation we find ourselves
in, knowing that He's going to provide, that He's working His
will and purpose in all things. And when we forget that or doubt
that, all we need do is look at the Savior. who came to fulfill
the will and purpose of His Father and trusted Him wholly. And our God in wisdom has made
it so that we have no other salvation. We have no other hope. He's fixed it in his son, Jesus
Christ, because he alone is the righteousness of his people. In him is life. Without him,
there is no life. In him, there is no condemnation. Outside of him, there's only
condemnation. So our God has given his son
and spared him not. And in Christ has established
the covenant of grace with his Son, so that we his people in
him know and experience this grace, and have a life everlasting
in the Son of God. Back in Isaiah 49, since we're
there in that area, look at verse 8. Our God tells us, Isaiah 49,
8, Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard
thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee. And I will
preserve thee and give thee for a covenant of the people to establish
the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages." And
that's a comfort and encouragement for us who are weak and who are
poor and who are desolate in ourselves and have nothing of
ourselves to give to the Lord. That's a comfort to us because
He's provided everything necessary in the Son, our Savior. Turn
over to John chapter 10. John chapter 10. We're gonna pick up in verse
15. Our Lord Jesus Christ is salvation,
and that's what we declare, what we preach here, is that Christ
is the salvation of His people. We need look no further than
Him whom the Father sent. So hear this word, John 10, verse
15 through 18, our Lord Jesus Christ speaking, as the Father
knoweth me, Even so know I the Father, and I lay down my life
for the sheep, and other sheep I have which are not of this
fold. Them also I must bring, and they
shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love
me, because I lay down my life that I might take it again. No
man taketh it from me." No man took Christ's life from him,
but he says, I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it
down and I have power to take it again. This commandment have
I received of my father. Our Savior believed His God. He believed the Father. He trusted
the Father, that when He laid down His life, He was able to
take it up again, just as the Father said to Him. And so when
He came, everything He did was according to the will and purpose
of God, and He filled it perfectly, securing the salvation of every
one of His sheep, and none of them lost. And because of this,
our God will help you, His people. He helps His people. We see Him
help the Son, and the Son trusts in Him for all things, so our
God will help you, His people. And that's what I've titled this,
The Lord God Will Help You. Let's begin here, back in our
text in verse 7. Isaiah 50, I want to pick up
in verse 7, our Lord begins saying, for the Lord God will help me. The Lord God will help me. Why does he say this here? Why
does he say the Lord God will help me? Well, our Savior is
giving this, this is his confidence. that God will help him is his
confidence, and that's his justification for what we see him doing in
the work of salvation. Look at verse six. Verse six,
he says, I gave, I willingly gave my back to the smiters. I willingly gave my back to them
that beat me. And my cheeks I willingly gave
my face. I put it out there, my cheeks,
to them that plucked off the hair. I hid not my face from
shame and spitting, for the Lord God will help me." And so we
see here our Lord gave himself. No man took it from him. He gave
himself willingly for the work of salvation. And he gave himself
into the hands of wicked men and they treated him shame shamefully. They treated him not as he deserved
as the Lord of Glory, their Creator, but they treated him shamefully. They treated him as a guilty
criminal. They treated him as one that
that deserved such treatment and he deserved nothing like
that. When he came he did nothing but good He spoke the words of
truth to the people, and he went about doing much good, healing
many of their sicknesses and infirmities, and doing many miracles
as the Father had given him to do. And yet they treated him
shamefully and turned him over to be crucified on a cross, according
to the Scriptures. And he gave himself to do this
work that was his alone to do. He says in Hebrews 10, verse
7, and we're gonna be there a lot, but I'll read this one. Then
said I, lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of
me to do thy will, O God. And when he says in the volume
of the book it's written of me, he's speaking about the beginning
of the book. the beginning of the Word of
God it's written of me of our salvation the salvation work
that our Savior came to do promise there in the garden according
to the will and purpose of God before the foundation of the
earth he came to save a people and when he came he knew it was
to fulfill the will of God his father turn over to Acts chapter
4 Acts chapter 4 And then put a mark there, because
we're eventually going to look at a number of verses in Hebrew,
so you'll be halfway there already. Acts 4, 26 is where we'll pick
up. This is the church, and the church
is praying to her God. And she's quoting from Psalm
2. And she says in verse 26, the kings of the earth stood
up and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and
against his Christ. for of a truth against thy holy
child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed both Herod and Pontius Pilate
with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were gathered together. So here they are, all nations,
All the rulers and the governors were in on this, including the
Gentiles, the nations, and the people of Jerusalem, the Jews. And these all gathered, these
smiters, and Christ gave his back to them, willingly gave
his back to them, where they whipped him and they beat him
and they bruised him. And they wounded him, and they
laid many stripes upon him. And he gave his face, his cheeks,
where they pulled out the hair of his beard to hurt him. And they smote him with open
hands to smack him on the face. And they closed their fists and
punched him, it says. And they tried to shame him. and treated him horribly. And
they mocked him and spit in his face and spoke foolishly, blindfolding
him and hitting him and saying, tell us who prophesied. If you're
the son of God prophesied, tell us who hit you. And our Lord
endured all this. And how did he endure it? Why
did he endure it? Because he knew this is the will
of God for him in working the salvation of his people. As the
church here prays in Acts 4.28, for to do whatsoever thy hand,
God's hand, and thy counsel, God's counsel determined before
to be done. He knew the Lord my God will
help me. And he gave his back and gave
his face and hid not because he knew and was confident, my
God will help me. And so even though our Lord was
shamefully treated by the people, he endured this in faithfulness
to the Father. He trusted this is of my Father's
hand. This is what my father has given
me to do and to endure for the salvation of my beloved bride,
my people. So he bore that shame doing exactly
what the father sent him to do, to redeem a people, to purchase
you that believe him, you that have no righteousness of your
own, your savior, your creator, your loving husband, Your faithful
God and Savior gave Himself, laid down His life, with all
this being done to Him, to purchase you, to make you His own, and
to do for you what you have this day, this hope that you have,
to give you this hope. And so glorious was the salvation
wrought by our Lord, and so complete is the salvation accomplished
by Him, that even our eyes now We, in the deadness of this flesh,
have eyes enlightened, were given life by the Savior, that we may
see and behold Him, and trust Him, and believe Him, and be
strengthened and comforted by Him. Turn over to Hebrews 12
now, and then put a marker there. Hebrews 12. We'll be skipping
around a bit in Hebrews. Hebrews 12 verse 2, with eyes
full of light, beholding who it is that saved us and gave
his life for us. He says there in verse 2, looking
unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Do you see how low our Savior
stooped in order to save us? How low He willingly came and
laid down His life for us. You know, we have no strength
of ourselves. If we're going to be laid low,
if we're called upon to swallow our pride, that's not by the
flesh. The flesh's strength is our pride. It is our arrogancy
and our self-confidence in what we can do. And we don't want
to go low in the flesh. But by the strength of Christ,
if we're called to go low, and we're brought low and humbled,
He's our strength. He's our confidence. He's our
hope. Because we trust this is the
will of God for us to bring us low that we might find our all
in Him. When this flesh is strong, there's
so much that we miss, so much we don't see, so much we don't
want to hear or believe or look to. But when we're brought low,
that's when we're crying out to the Lord and asking Him for
strength. and help, and to remember us,
and to visit us. It's when we're brought low.
And so, though we're weak in ourselves, our Lord is glorified
in weakness. Our Lord is glorified in weakness,
and we don't like to go into the fray of things. I was remembering,
I think it was, well, it was middle school. And I think in
middle school, boys, that's probably the most that you'll ever get
into fights is in middle school, that time frame. And I remember
a friend of, there's a bully who wanted to beat me up. And
I remember his friend told me that he was waiting outside to
beat me up, to fight me. And so I took that knowledge
and I went out the back door. Because I didn't want to meet
him on his terms. I met him like a week later on
my own terms. But it just shows how we aren't
so quick and so willing to give our body, to just throw ourselves
into it. It's only by the strength of
our God that we can face those hardships and those difficulties
that we're called upon to face in Him. And so by the Lord's
strength, we're found to be a people who trust him, who have his spirit,
who are born again so that we have the faith, the gift of faith
whereby we look to the Savior and believe him even in the midst
of difficulties and trials. and believing Him, we're sealed
by His Holy Spirit. And we're led by the Holy Spirit
so that we're filled by Him. And that's where our boldness
comes from. That's where our faith is given
to us from Him, to trust Him, to believe upon Him and seek
Him for His grace and mercy in the hour of trial. Turn over
to Hebrews 2, Hebrews 2. In verse 9, and we'll look at verses 9 through
11 together, there we read that we see Jesus, who was made a
little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned
with glory and honor that He, by the grace of God, should taste
death for every man, for it became Him for whom are all things,
and by whom are all things, and bring many sons unto glory, to
make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. And so if the captain of our
salvation was perfected in his sufferings, shall we not also
be brought through trials and sufferings and difficulties?
And knowing that he was perfected through these sufferings, does
it not give us boldness to thank the Lord and trust him in that
hour and to be watching and waiting to see what our God will do for
us in that hour? Who's called us to go through
the trial of affliction and suffering. It says in verse 11, for both
he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one,
for which cause he's not ashamed to call them brethren. And what a joy it is to suffer
with our brother, the one who calls us brother, the one who
calls us our people, the one who suffered for us. And therefore,
when he calls us to suffer, We know he's just teaching us. He's
been there. He knows what we're going through
because he's gone through it before us. He doesn't call us
to go through anything that he himself has not gone through
and endured himself. He knows what it is to be lonely. He knows what it is to feel to
be forsaken. He knows what it is to go through
all manner of trials, of hungering and thirsting, of being left
alone to endure the trial that you're going through. He knows
exactly what it is, but he doesn't ever leave us alone. He's always
there as an aid and a comfort for his people. The Spirit helps
our infirmities, especially when we're faced with that difficulty,
do I just hide myself here or do I trust the Lord and go boldly
through it? Do I keep myself from doing what
I know is right, whatever it is, because we're in many situations
throughout our walk of faith in the Lord. But whatever it
is, are we gonna draw back and hide ourselves to protect ourselves
or trust Lord? I believe you've called me to
this hour. to trust you, and to believe you, and to stand
in faith upon the hope that you've given me in the Lord Jesus Christ.
So, look to Christ. Behold His confidence in His
Father. For we have the same Spirit of
grace. Not to the measure that He had
it, because He had it without measure. But we have that same
Spirit of grace. Believe Him, and trust Him. pray
to him when we're weak, but trust the Lord. When that appointed
time came for our Lord to die, nothing stopped him from going
to Jerusalem for you. He went there to make an atonement
for his people as the Lamb of God. That means that he went
there knowing, not that he was going there to die not for his
own sins, but for the sins another for the sins of his people to
sacrifice himself to lay down his life bearing the sins of
his people before holy God who poured out his wrath upon him. Isaiah 50 verse 7 says, therefore
have I set my face like a flint, that meaning with firmness with
resolve he set his face and it says I know that I shall not
be ashamed And Luke records this purposely, saying, And it came
to pass, when the time was come that Christ should be received
up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. And so he
had to go to Jerusalem. Before he could be received up,
he had to go to Jerusalem. But our Savior went and did it,
and the Father helped him. The Father helped him, and strengthened
him, and comforted him, and assured him that this was indeed the
will of God, that the cup would not pass from him, but that he
must lay down his life for his people. And so in that hour,
when our hearts are stirred with faith, and he makes us willing
in the day of his power, whatever it is, trust him. Believe the
Lord. When He reveals to you this is
His will, this is what He's called us to do, trust Him. Stand in
the day of faith, believing your God, believing your Lord. Hebrews 2.18, Hebrews 2.18, for in that He
Himself hath suffered being tempted, He's able to succor them that
are tempted. that is to aid or to comfort
them that are tempted. You know, the whole history of
the church is filled with brothers and sisters who were called upon
to believe their God, to trust upon Him, to wait upon Him, to
go through various trials and hardships and difficulties Times
when they feared and wondered if their lives would be lost,
if they would be swallowed up or great, great difficulty, that
they would suffer loss. And Hebrews 11, if you go there
to Hebrews 11, you know that's the chapter of faith, where we
read of the faith of the brethren, the faith of our brethren in
this great cloud of witnesses with which we are now surrounded
by, and in Hebrews 11, verse 33 and 34, because I can't read
it all, well I can, but, For time's sake, let's look at verse
33. Who through faith subdued kingdoms
wrought righteousness. obtained promises, stopped the
mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the
edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant
in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens." And as
you read on, you read of others who didn't want to be delivered,
but gladly, willingly gave their lives all for the faith that
God had given them. And so remember that this is
the faith that our God gives us for the day of trial, for
the day of temptation. Behold your savior, trust him.
All right, this brings us now to behold the nearness of our
God to us. Saying there in Hebrews, look
at chapter 13, Hebrews 13. We're never alone. for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee, so that we may
boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man
shall do unto me. We see our Savior who endured
that shame, who endured the suffering, who gave His back to the smiters,
and He trusted. He trusted the Father, and He
reconciled us to the Father in that work. He didn't give up.
He didn't call upon the angels, the legions of angels to come
and deliver Him. He endured, he went through the
whole work of salvation, the whole atonement, giving his life,
sacrificing himself to put away our sins, that we should know
our God, that we should be reconciled to him, that we are the people
of God. And so we now shall never be
forsaken nor left alone. We now are reconciled to Him
that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith and we know Him. and He is our God, and He is
our Savior. And so when we feel lonely and
afraid, remember that we have an advocate with the Father who
prays for us, who prays for you, who prays that you be strengthened
and be kept faithful in the difficulties against your adversaries. Be
confident in Him, though in ourselves we feel the weaknesses, we know
the doubts, we have the fears, be confident in Him. because
he'll never leave us nor forsake us. Look there at Hebrews 5,
verse 5. So also Christ glorified not
himself to be made an high priest, but he that said unto him, thou
art my son, today I have begotten Our Savior cannot fail. He cannot fail. You'll not be
swallowed up or overtaken or destroyed. Whatever it is that
the Lord brings you through, it's always for our good. It
always has a purpose in the will of God for His people, for the
good of His church. That's a comfort. That we know. We don't need to fear and draw
back. Trust Him. Go through the fiery
trial. Go through the flood knowing
that this is what our God has given us to go through. And He'll
establish His people in Christ, in that. And we'll see our God
never fails. Whatever He purposes to do, that
He shall do. And so it's a great comfort to
us. He endured every obstacle that
was against us, and He overcame every foe that set themselves
up opposed to us. Back in Isaiah, back in Isaiah
now, verses eight and nine, our Lord says, He is near that justifies
me. Who will contend with me? Let
us stand together. Who is mine adversary? Let him
come near to me. Behold, the Lord God will help
me. Who is he that shall condemn
me? Lo, they all shall wax old as a garment. The moth shall
eat them up." So these words are discouragement to our enemies,
but to us they're a great encouragement because we know that that nothing
can come against us because we are Christ's. He's obtained our
forgiveness. He's obtained our adoption as
the children of God. And so we have forgiveness with
God. We'll never perish. We'll never
be lost. Whatever the enemy does to come
against your flesh, to create difficulties for you, to cause
you to suffer loss in this life, it's nothing compared to our
eternal redemption and our eternal hope and comfort in Him. Paul
writes in Galatians 2.20, I am crucified with Christ nevertheless
I live yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved
me and gave himself for me. So be bold in the Lord. Paul
willingly gave his life and trusted the Lord. He gave up all that
he had in religion, all that he had among the people of the
Jews. He forsook it all and trusted the Lord. And so, remember your
Lord Jesus Christ. Remember your Savior. He trusted
the Father. The Lord will help me. The Lord my God shall help me. Believe Him. Trust Him. Look
to Him so the adversity you face is from the hands of your loving
Father, and He's working out His will in you. Trust Him wholly,
knowing that the Lord God will help me. Therefore shall I not
be confounded or ashamed. Therefore have I set my face
like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. None who trust the Savior shall
ever be ashamed. He is their salvation. We're
complete in Him. we stand faultless before the
throne of our God. He says in John 3.21, and I'll
close with this, but he that doeth truth cometh to the light
that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God. And so our God, he brings us
through difficulties and trials, and though they're difficult
for us, In this flesh, we see that what He works and what He
does in our midst is all wrought of Him to the praise and honor
and glory of His name. I pray the Lord bless that word
to your hearts. Let's close in prayer. Our gracious
Lord, we thank You, Father, for Your mercy. We thank You, Lord,
for Your grace which is given to us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, in ourselves, we are weak. In ourselves, we are nothing.
In ourselves, we are full of fears and doubts and worries. But Lord, we see your son, our
Savior, and we see how you sustained him and provided for him, strengthening
him, helping him. And Lord, help us to behold that
you, our God, are our help. that he is our help and that
he shall never leave us nor forsake us. Father, help us in our difficulties
and in our trials. Lord, though they're varied,
we know that your people have been called to go through these
things many, many times. Lord, we see the great cloud
of witnesses about us. and written here in your word
and of so many brethren throughout the churches and throughout the
years that have trusted you and believed you and saw great works
done by your hand. Lord, help us to trust you, to
be strong in you, and to be faithful. Because, Lord, it's not our strength,
but it's your work. It's your salvation. It's the
hope that you've given to us. Help us indeed to be strong in
the hour of temptation. It's in Christ's name we pray
and give thanks. Amen. Let's all stand and sing a closing
hymn, 262, 262, trusting Jesus. Simply trusting every day, trusting
through a stormy way. Even when my faith is small,
trusting Jesus, that is all. Trusting as the moments fly,
trusting as the days go by, trusting Him whate'er befall, trusting
Jesus, that is all. ? Brightly doth his spirit shine
? ? Into this poor heart of mine ? ? While he leads, I cannot
fall ? ? Trusting Jesus, that is all ? ? Trusting as the moments
fly ? ? Trusting as the days go by ? ? Trusting Him whate'er
befall ? ? Trusting Jesus that is all ? ? Singing if my way
is clear ? ? Praying if the path be drear ? If in danger for him
call, trusting Jesus that is all. ? Trusting as the moments
fly ? ? Trusting as the days go by ? ? Trusting Him, whate'er
befall ? ? Trusting Jesus, that is all ? trusting him while life
shall last trusting him till earth be passed till within the
jasper wall trusting Jesus that is all ? Trusting as the moments
fly ? ? Trusting as the days go by ? ? Trusting Him whate'er
befall ? ? Trusting Jesus, that is all ? Thank you.
