Good hymn. Good hymn. That's a psalm. The reason those
old books were called psalteries, they contained most of the psalms.
All right, back to Psalm 96. Bless you now as we look at this.
I know you love the Psalms as I do. I know you do. And at any given time, you can
turn to the Psalms under any circumstances and find something
to meet your need, something that blesses you. At any given
time, under any circumstances, you can always turn to the Psalms. One of the men was going to read
for the first time, and he asked me, is everyone supposed to read
from the Psalms? Because that's where everyone
reads from the most. And I do, too. I find myself
doing that. No, it's just that all of God's
people find their needs met in the Psalm. And this Psalm is
one I was reading, actually, Psalm 94, and just glanced across
the page, and I thought, this is it. We're going to deal with
it. This psalm is taken from 1 Chronicles 16, and in that chapter is the story. There's also another psalm included
with it. They're put together. But for
some reason they're separated in Psalm. Psalm 105 and Psalm
96 are together. But do you remember the story
we looked at last week? How that David, when he brought
back the ark, he was bringing back the ark. Do you remember
that? And dancing before he was so happy that the ark, which
had been taken by the Philistine, was now back. where it should
be, and in the ark is a picture of the gospel. Someone who's
been out from the gospel, from under the gospel for a while,
and now they're back. David danced before that ark,
and he wrote this song right after that. This song he wrote
right after the ark was brought back, and like I said, Well,
I want you to turn to First Chronicles very, very quickly and just look
at that with me. David was so happy, so happy. First Chronicles 16. And as I
said, this is a this is like a one who loves the gospel and
has such great joy on hearing it that they want to dance. And look at it, 1 Chronicles
16, verse 1, they brought the ark of God and set it in the
midst of the tent that David had pitched for it. And they
offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. And
when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings
and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the
Lord. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman,
to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of fish, and a flagon
of wine. He said, let's just rejoice. The ark's back, and we're going
to worship our God. So back to Psalm 96. So David wrote this upon bringing
the ark back. Psalm 96, verse 1, he says, Oh,
sing unto the Lord, a new song. Sing unto the Lord. You sing. Do you like to sing? You sing
when you're happy, don't you? You sing when you've been blessed,
most of the time. You sing when you're joyful. You sing when your heart has
been blessed by the Lord. You sing. He said, don't sing.
Sing unto the Lord. Who do we sing to? We sing to
be heard by others. We sing to ourselves. No, we sing unto the Lord. Sing
unto the Lord. Psalm 92. Turn back there quickly. Psalm 92. David was called the
sweet psalmist of Israel. And remember, we looked at David's
life. You remember? Did David have
an easy life? Did David have trials? Did David
have trouble? Did David have sorrows and grief? multiplied 100-fold for 70 years.
But David sang. All the time, singing. David
was a sweet songster. He loved to sing. Get his harp
and sit out on the hillside and sing. To who? or nobody was around
to hear it, but the Lord. Sing unto the Lord. I wish we
could sing like that sometime in our life as we come in here
to worship, as if nobody was here but us. I wish I could do
that in a solo. I don't like to sing solo. I'm
too self-conscious. Maybe one of these days I'll
be able to sing whether it sounds good or not
to men. Make a joyful noise. Psalm 92,
he says, it's a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. To
sing praises unto thy name, O Most High. What are you going to sing
about? Show forth thy loving kindness in the morning and thy
faithfulness every night. We ought to wake up in the morning
with a song in our heart. Why? Because mercy is anew every
morning. His mercies are new this morning.
We're not held by the mercies of God. We have everything needful,
having food and rain, and so on. Go back to the text. Oh,
sing unto the Lord. Have we got anything to be grateful
for? Has the Lord been good to you? Has
the Lord blessed you? Sing unto the Lord. Sing unto
Him. Verse 2. Bless His... Sing unto
the Lord. Bless His name. Show forth, here's
what we sing about, we show forth His salvation from day to day. Yes, we have something to sing
about. Chiefly and foremost, first and foremost, His salvation. We've got something to sing about,
His salvation. Remember the pit from which you
were digged, Abraham's son, and you'll sing. That's when we quit
singing, is when we forget where we came from. We forget what
we were when the Lord found us, and we become complacent. We
become at ease in Zion. But remember the pit from which
you were digged, old daughter of Abraham, and you'll sing.
Remember, old prodigal, that the Lord brought you back, and
you'll sing. Remember, old where the Lord
found you in Lodomar, a place of no bread, alone, a rebel to
the king. Remember where he found you and
brought you and set you at the king's table. Sing unto the Lord. Show forth his salvation. I've
got something to sing about. Maybe after this message everybody
in here will volunteer to sing a song. Wouldn't it be wonderful? Singing
unto the Lord. Remember where you came from.
Show forth His salvation. I've told you several times about
old brother Bill Clark. He used to love to sing at that
beautiful Irish tenor. And he used to love to sing and
he'd sing any time you'd ask him to sing. And one time he
was here visiting us and I asked him to sing and he said, I'd
just be so happy to sing unto my Lord. Declare His glory among the heathen. You see what all we do when we
sing. We bless His name. We show forth His salvation.
We declare His glory and His wonders. Our songs are different. Our
songs are so different from what they call gospel today, aren't
they? They are truly hymns. H-I-M's. They're unto Him. They're of
Him. They show forth His glory, His salvation, His greatness,
His wonder. Declare His glory. This foolish,
heathen world glorifies Mother Nature, man, sign, anything but
God, don't they? Well, let's glorify God. What
do you say? Declare His glory. Man's religion
declares man's will and man's works and man's decision and
man's faith. Well, let's declare His glory,
His will, His works, His faithfulness. Yeah, we've got something to
sing about. Somebody needs to do some singing like this, don't
they? These sickening songs we hear,
well, enough of that. Declare His glory. Whose glory?
God the Father's glory. His glorious, glorious will and
purpose. God the Son's glory. His glorious
redemptive work. God the Holy Spirit's glory.
His glorious regenerating work. Declare His glory. His salvation. Salvations of the Lord. Declare
His wonders. Salvation is not some simple
little decision by man. It's a wonder. It's a wonder
that you're sitting here tonight. You're a wonder. We're going to be eternal wonders,
all of us. We're going to be eternal wonders. Redounded unto the glory of our
God. Salvation is a wonder. Saying of His wonders. Verse
4, For the Lord is great, the Lord is great, and greatly to
be praised. He is to be feared above all
gods. You know, our God's great. Our God is great. Their God is
not like our God. Stan loves that in Deuteronomy,
where Moses said, Their God is not like our God. Their God is
no God at all. Our God is great. They can have
that impotent Jesus. Can't they? They can have this
God that is in their hands. Our God is great. I don't know
why anybody would want any other kind of God, do you? Hmm? Well, an old sinner wouldn't.
Our God's great, he said. Gods of the nation, verse 5.
He's to be feared. Gods to be feared. Verse 5, all
the gods of the nations are idols. But the Lord, He made the heavens. You remember back in Psalm 115,
don't you? We read that last week, Psalm 115, where they asked
David, where's your God? You remember his answer? David
said, my God's in the heavens. Our God was in the heavens. Well,
what does he do, David? Whatever he pleases. Their God
doesn't. Their God does what they please.
Their God is at their beck and call. But our God's called us. We're His beckoning God. We do
according to His will. Our God is great. Our God is
God. Their God's an idol. An idol
is a man-made God, a manipulated God, a God who only does what... Their God's a puppet. Men complain
about the sovereignty of God and say that makes man a puppet.
They've made God a puppet. I'll be God's puppet, would you? He's controlling me. I want that. I want him controlling all things
concerning me. Our God's in the heavens. Our
God made the heavens. Our God created all things. What
could be plainer? Our God's creator, the creature. And the creator controlled the
creature. The creator purposed and designed
all things for the That's our God. He's great. Verse 6. Honor and majesty are before
Him. Honor and majesty. The Lord,
the Lord God, is Lord. He is God. Not just in name,
but He is great. Our God. He is King. Scripture
says he's king of kings. What does that mean? It means
the king's heart. Even the rulers of the world,
the king's heart. Heart! So it goes without saying that
the works of the king and the mandates of the king and the
laws and whatever a particular ruler in a land does is of the
Lord, if his heart is. The king's heart is in the hands
of the king of kings. Like the rivers of water, he'd
turn to sit with us wherever he would. Are you worried about
Saddam Hussein? You better be if you don't have a God. Capital
J. We better bomb that boy. But I'm not too worried about him. Moses wasn't too worried about
Pharaoh. Come on now. Our God's great.
This ought to alleviate all fear of man. Fear of man brings us
near. Fear of the Lord? Our God. Honor and majesty before
Him. Our God is Lord. Not in title
only. Not in name only. But He is Lord. That means sovereign ruler. Lord. They used to know what Lord meant.
Like the word King. Like the title King. Men who
had a true King knew what's a King. Whatever He wants to be. What
about a Lord? What does the Lord do? Whatever
He decides. He's Lord of Lords. Scripture says all honor belongs
to the true King. Men complain and gripe and fuss
and don't like it because we give all the glory and credit
and attribute to God all things, all salvation and all things.
All honor belongs to him. Right? If he's king, all honor
belongs to him. All majesty befits true royalty,
does it not? Men and women mock, mock, and
are familiar with an equal. Boy, true worshipers, true subjects
of a king, they speak of his majesty, honor, and majesty. They sure do. Back then, when
men really knew something about a king, they were fearful to
say anything, ever, to anyone, at any time, even in private.
Solomon wrote about that. He said, you keep your lips. Even from your wife, he said,
you'll get back to the king. And our God seeth us, and our
God heareth us. And so God's people know that.
And so they're fearful, and they're afraid to utter anything before
the law. God hears that. Look at this. He said, Honored
Majesty are before him, strength and beauty. Strength first. This is important. Go back to
1 Kings chapter 2. 1 Kings chapter 2. When I read this and refreshed
my memory, do you remember how we looked at a greater than Solomon
When I began to read this, I thought, why not preach this again? The
king of kings is greater than Solomon. May the Lord bless this
to you right now. Do you remember when Solomon
was established as king, when Solomon was put on the throne,
when David designated Solomon his son as the king? God did,
and David confirmed it. But the first thing that was
established about Solomon when he sat on the throne, when he
first ascended the throne, was his strength. You remember that? The first thing that was known
in all the world about Solomon, about this king of Israel, this
greatest king who ever sat on the throne, Solomon. The first
thing that was established was his strength. This is no weak
king. This is a king of kings. Solomon, look at chapter, 1 Kings
chapter 2, verses 1 and 2, Now the days of David drew nigh that
he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying, I go
the way of all the earth, be thou strong therefore, show thyself
a man. And the first thing that Solomon
did, if you remember, was establish his throne upon justice and judgment. Do you remember? Huh? He began
to slay all his enemies. All those who cursed Shimei,
confined him to his quarters. Joab had his head cut off. That
usurper to the throne, that brother of his, who signed up to Bathsheba,
his mother, the king saw right through him. This king knows.
And he saw through him, that traitor that he was, had his
head cut off. He began to win He began to show
himself strong, king of kings. God is first known. God Almighty
is first seen. God Almighty is first known as
strong, as sovereign. First! See that? It's important. Strength and beauty are in his
sanctuary. The first thing, the first way
we'll come to know God, the God of the Bible, is in his strength,
in his power. and his sovereignty first, his
justice first. Fear, because fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom. Listen to me. This message is
the glory of God. Strength unto the Lord. Strength
first. Strength first. And beauty. And beauty. Strength first. Love, sovereign holiness first,
justice first, sovereignty first, king reigning first, and beauty. You'll not see His beauty unless
you bow to His strength. You'll not see His mercy unless
you bow to His justice, right? You'll not experience His grace
unless you repent unto this holy God, strength first. Aren't you
glad it's that way? His very justice demands our
salvation. Give me an hour to preach on
that. He said, I'm a just God. You
better be glad He is. This world has a God who loves
you so much and paid for your sins at Calvary's Tree, but you
might go to hell and have to pay for them yourself. What kind
of justice is that? Well, that's what man thinks
justice is. We're going to give a man three life sentences. I
thought man only lived once. We'll give him three life sentences.
Does that mean we'll suspend it to seven years? That's man's
justice. That's man's God too. Jesus died
for your sins. He paid for your sins. He paid
it all. They love to sing that song. He paid it all. But you
might go to hell and pay for them too. That ain't a just God. That's a skin flint. That's an Indian giver. But to
gifts and calling of our God, they're without repentance. God
spoke it, and it shall be done. Christ paid for it, and what
does that mean? He just paid for it. I'm a just
God. If Jesus Christ justified me,
I'm justified. Is that good news to you? Is
that some of the gospel there is? If God Almighty accepted the
blood of Jesus Christ on behalf of sinners, then sinners will
be saved. And so that brings the question,
who did he die for? Whoever he died for, buddy, their
sins are gone. Right? Whoever was under the
blood in that house in Egypt, he passed over, didn't he? Was
there one person under the blood whom God didn't pass over? No,
sir. Neither is there one sinner under
the blood of Jesus Christ who doesn't have his sins paid for. Strength first. Justice first.
And beauty. Love, mercy, grace, long-suffering,
gentleness, goodness, kindness. Strength first. Strength first. You like that, Stephen? Strong
God. We are a strong God, don't we?
This world is strong, this world is cruel, this world is evil,
this world is weak. I need a strong God. I need one
greater in me than he is in the world. Don't you? I don't need
an equal to Satan. I need one who can just, one
little word, tell you. Strength and beauty. Give unto
the Lord, verse 7. You got something to sing about?
Have you got anything to sing about yet? Give unto the Lord,
verse 7, give unto the Lord, O you kindreds of the people.
Every tribe, nation, tongue, and kindred. Give unto the Lord,
O you kindreds of the people. Give unto the Lord glory and
strength. Now we don't give Him anything.
David's not saying He needs this. No, we don't give Him any glory. How can you give something to
someone who has everything? What can you give to someone
who has everything? We're not giving him something
he doesn't have. And we don't add to his glory. We don't give him strength. That
is to mean, well, you let go and let God. Let God be God. It doesn't say that in the Bible
anywhere. It says he might let us. It says
God will work and who will let it. What Isaiah said. We don't give him strength. We
don't give him any glory. What this means is simply acknowledge
that he has it. Acknowledge that he has it. All
glory. Give unto the Lord glory and
strength. Verse 8. Give unto the Lord.
Now here's. Give unto the Lord the glory
due unto his name. Give unto the Lord the glory
due unto his name. All right? Let me ask you again.
How much sovereignty is due to the king? Now, I mean a real king. Give unto the Lord the glory
due his name. All right? How much sovereignty
is due to the king of kings? How much sovereignty is due him? How much? Somebody venture to
say? Go ahead. I think I heard, all. If he's king, then he has all
sovereignty. If he's king of kings, he has...
How much power is due unto God? How much power do we attribute
to God? How much? Well, if he's God,
capital G, capital O, capital D, Give unto God the glory, do
the name God. If he's God, Stephen, that means
he's God. Give him the glory, do his name.
Very few people are today. This message needs to be preached
from the highest building. If he's God, then all power belongs
unto him. Give him the due. Give him the
due. How much salvation? How much
salvation is due to Jesus? Let's use that name that people
abuse today. How much salvation is due to
Jesus? What's his name mean, Barbara
Ross? Call his name Jesus. Why? He shall, who shall save? He shall save. Him and somebody?
He shall save. Not try to save, not make salvation
possible. He shall say, give the glory
that's due His name. If you're going to call Him Jesus,
then say He did it. Call Him Savior. If His name's
Lord, you don't make Him that. If He's Savior, you don't let
Him be. Give the glories due to His name. All of it. Give the glory due
to His name. People, that's why men take His
name and bang! If anybody calls Him Jesus and
they claim He didn't save anybody, He set out to save, they're blaspheming
His name. If anybody calls God, God, and
yet says there's something man must let Him do or allow Him
to do, then they're blaspheming His name. Give Him the glory,
give Him His name. If He's God, then He gets it
all. If he's king, he has it all.
If he's named Jesus, he does the same thing. Give him the
glory. You got anything to sing about?
We can sing the name Jesus. I hesitate to do so because it's
so abused today. It's so, you know, you know the
Jesus they talk about and sing about, but we can sing unto Jesus.
We can use that name if we give him the glory instead. Mm-hmm. Jesus. At the name of Jesus,
every knee will bow. Read on. He says here, bring
an offering. Verse 8, bring an offering. Come unto his court. Well now, what kind of offering
are you going to bring this high and holy and just God and this
glorious King? What kind of offering? What does
God demand? What has God said from the beginning?
What do you bring? What kind of offering? Well, we'll just
bring a little basket of fruit and flowers, and we'll bring
our little works, and we'll bring our little... There's only one
thing God ever told man to bring him, isn't there? What was it? Blood. That's right. I said it,
Wes. Blood. I said a man, if he just
stands up and says blood a few times, it's been a good message.
There's only one thing God ever told man to bring, and that's
blood, blood of a lamb. Blood, that's the only thing
God has ever accepted at the hands of man, because it's a
picture of Christ. We come by faith in Christ. What
do we bring? We bring, we plead the blood
and the righteousness of Jesus Christ. We come, this is the
offering we bring. And it's not like this is something
we produce. Oh no, this faith in Christ is
not of ourselves, it's a gift. We simply bring back to God what
He has provided. Right? Like that lamb. That's
the reason the lamb is a picture of Christ. Man doesn't grow lambs.
Man grows fruit and so forth. God gives life. God gave the lamb. Christ is
that lamb of God. Bring that offering and come
unto His courts. You can come if you've got it.
You can't come if you don't. He won't accept you. One thing,
though, that will allow you entrance into the Holy of Holies. What
is it? The blood of the Lamb. Come,
bring it. Faith and cry. Verse nine. Oh,
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Whose holiness? Would you dare come before the
Lord and plead in your holiness? Only a fool would do that, wouldn't
he? Only a self-righteous man would do that. Whose holiness
is he talking about? Without which no man will see the Lord.
Whose holiness is it? His holiness. Worship the Lord
for His righteousness sake. The beauty of His holiness. Fear
before Him all the earth. Fear before fear bringing anything
else. Verse 10, he says, The Lord would not have done
all he can do. Say among the heathen, every
opportunity you get, whoever will hear you, they're blaspheming
his name. Somebody needs to give it the glory. Tell them, the
Lord reigneth. The Lord reigneth. The Lord reigneth. The world, look, look, that's
not the only thing he tells us to say. There's three things
here in this verse. He says, say among the heathen,
the Lord reigneth. The world also shall be established, and
it shall not be moved. In other words, God Almighty
has established all things. God Almighty has predestined
all things. There's nothing outside of his predestined purpose and
will. It's all established exactly
like he established it and purposed it. Oh, yes. That's fatalism. No, that's our great God. I don't believe that. Yeah, I
know, you're an unbeliever. God's people do, because that's
who their God is. He's established all that. Read
on. Say among the heathen that he
shall judge the people righteously. He shall judge the people righteously. He shall judge in perfect righteousness. How? By that man. By that man,
Paul preached. By that man whom he hath ordained,
Jesus Christ the righteous. All men are going to be judged
by him. All men are either going to be found in him or have to stand right beside
him and be judged by him. Where are you going to be, Kelly?
In him. In him. In him. Verse 11, he
says, Let the heavens rejoice. They do. Yes, they do. Even the little birds sing. Folks, they don't have it as
good as we have it. They wake up singing. No, dead
of winter. They don't know where the next
meal's coming from. They wake up singing. They do, the heavens, the angels
do. The angels do. Rejoice, let the earth be glad.
It does. It is. It is. It groans because
of man's sin. But it's glad in the Lord. Yeah,
it is. The beast's bellow, the cow's
blow. I love that story of them bringing
back that ark. I'll preach on that soon. They
brought that ark back, and it says the cow is low, the whole
time it was low, under the burden of that ark, lowing. The earth does. It does. The
sea roars. The sea doesn't do that, for
our sake. It does it under the law. And
the fullness thereof, the fish. Let the field be joyful. Read
on. And all that is therein. And all the trees of the wood
rejoiced. Another place, he said, they
clapped their hands. And that breeze starts blowing.
Trees start rustling. What are they doing? Clapping
their hands unto the King of kings. A few of us went camping
last weekend. Was it glorious or what? Huh? The field was joyful. Was it
not, Wesley? Golden and joyful. The trees? It's the glory of
God. Before the Lord. That's what
the last verse says. Before the Lord. His glory. Everything.
He made all things and He created them. Why? For His glory. Before the Lord. Though we don't
hear it. We just hear the leaves rustling. He does. They're clapping.
Now, we don't hear it at those births. We're too busy. He does. He made them to sing unto him.
He made us to sing unto him. Sing unto him before the Lord.
Why? Verse 13, For he cometh. David
believed the Lord would come to this earth. Job did. He said, The Lord will come.
Did he? David said, He cometh. Did he? No, he sure did, David. David's
son, he came. He walked on this earth. The
Lord himself, the Lord of glory, he came. And they read on, he
said, he's coming to judge the earth. Came the first time, he
said, I didn't come to condemn, I came to save. The second time,
what's he going to do? To judge. Judge the earth. He's
coming again. Is he? Yes, he is. Just as sure as we're
sitting here. He cometh to judge the earth,
and he shall. Verse 13, he shall judge the
world with righteousness. There it is again. He shall judge
the world with righteousness. Who? His. And, that's not all,
the people with his truth. You remember when our Lord said,
they have one that judges them. He
said, I didn't come to judge, I came to say, but he said, there
is one that judgeth them. What is it? The Word. That's
what Christ said, the Word shall judge them. The truth. Who shall
dwell with God some day? Amos said this in chapter 3,
verse 3. Can two walk together except
they be agreed? So we're going to walk with God,
like Enoch, if we agree with God. Not he with us, John. That's
with him. About what? Whatever he says. Whatever he says. We agree with
him, don't we? You don't question a king. You
don't argue with a king. If you ask him a question, you
do it on your knees. And you ask him if you can ask him a
question. And he asks you forgiveness for asking the question. And
he might answer you, and he might not. But I tell you this, you'll
agree with him. Whatever he says, you'll agree
with him. Can two walk together except
they be agreed? He'll judge the people with his truth, his word. Who believes God? I've asked this question before.
What can a man or a woman not believe and be a believer? Well, the answer is in the question.
A believer? If there's anything you don't
believe that God's telling you, and there's plenty we don't understand,
plenty we don't understand, but if God said it, we believe it,
and that's settled, whether we believe it or not. Oh, my, he
shall judge the world in truth, his truth, true worshipers of
God. Worship him in spirit. And it's not all this hand-waving
and all that. It means from the heart and happening. You can't
have worship without this. A true God. A true Christ. A true gospel. God's Word is
magnified above all His name. There's people carrying on this
very night in some big show of religion who haven't read a word
of this. That's all we've done, Lord Henry.
We're very fortunate. Turn over to 1 Chronicles in
closing, because this is not included. The last few verses
of this psalm were not included there. Back to 1 Chronicles 16. I want to close with this. It's
necessary. whole psalm, but three verses,
three other verses, and you'll like them. You'll like them.
Verse, Chronicles sixteen, and you see there in verse thirty-three,
it says, "...the trees of the woods sing out at the presence
of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth." Verse thirty-four,
"...O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy endureth for ever."
And Brother John, I believe David right there thought, hmm, I think
I'll write a whole psalm about that. His mercy endures forever. Yeah,
I'll write a whole psalm about that. And say ye, say this all
the time, every day, say it. Verse 35, save us, O God of our
salvation. Don't leave us to ourselves.
Save us, gather us together. Let me gather with the saints
at the river. Deliver us, we know, from the
heathen. Don't let me be one of these heathen worshippers.
Let me be a God worshipper, that we may give thanks to Thy holy
name and glory in Thy praise. That's what we're doing here
tonight. We're glorying in His praise. People are all over just
glorying in their praise, in their praise worship, in their
praise teams. What glory is His praise? Don't
you like hearing about Him? That's our glory, we know. And because blessed, wait, where
am I? Save us, gather us, that we may
give thanks to Thy holy name and glory of Thy praise. Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel forever and ever. And all the people
said, and all the people said, Amen. And praise the Lord. Sing. That's something to sing about.
Now there are volunteers. I won't make you do it, but so
we'll be conscious of it from here on out. Sing under the Lord.
We've got great reason to do that. Great reason to do something.
Waters run dry. But His mercy hathn't, Stephen.
His mercy hathn't. It never will run dry. The world's
going to see someday how all this stuff's going to end, no
matter how much it got of it. But this right here, it's in
front. It does get better. All right,
let's stand. God, we praise your name. Everything you are and do, have
done, and shall do. We praise your name in Jesus
Christ's name. We met here tonight. Give thanks,
honor, glory, strength, praise unto thee. Ask you to keep us,
save us, keep us, hold us up by thy right hand. In Christ's
name, amen.
