so perfect for this story. If
you want to prepare for Wednesday night's message, there will be
a follow-up to this one. We'll be looking at the very
next chapter in 1 Samuel, 1 Samuel 17, Wednesday night. All right, let's go to chapter
16, 1 Samuel. Now, there's much written in
God's Word about David, about King David, king of Israel. And as with every prominent person
in God's Word, every prominent person, beginning with Adam,
the first, David is a picture. David is a type of the king of
kings. and Lord of Lords. David is a
picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's why David lived on this
planet. That's why everything David was
and did took place as a picture, as a type of the King of Kings
and Lord of Lords, the Lord Jesus Christ, whom God calls the Son
of David. All right, let's look at it.
The Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul?
See, and I have rejected him from reigning over Israel. Saul here represents man. You see, Saul was not God's king. Israel wanted a king, so they
pretty much made them a king. God gave them this man and said,
OK, he's your king. But he wasn't God's king. He
wasn't God's king. God had someone in his purpose
in mind from the beginning, and in time he would reveal who his
true king was. But Saul was a temporary king
at this time, pretender is all it was, the usurper, and God
condemned him. Man, as you know and remember,
man was put in the garden. Man was put upon this earth and
God said reign over it, so do it. Man was, as it were, a king
upon this earth, but he never was really king of this world,
king of this earth, but a temporary God said in verse one, I have
provided me a king. I have a king. Psalm 2, we read
it this morning. God said, I'll declare the decree,
I've set my king. I have a king. Waiting in the
wings. David was God's king from the
beginning. David was waiting to be revealed
by God in time. Jesus Christ, whom the scripture
says was with the Father from the beginning in Proverbs 8,
Jesus Christ was the eternal Son, ever the Father's delight. Jesus Christ was the predestined
King of kings, God's King, God's Son, the crowned Prince of heaven
to be revealed in the fullness of time. So God told the prophet
Samuel to go to Bethlehem. Look at it. Verse 1, it says,
Go to Bethlehem. I will send thee to Jesse the
Bethlehemite. Go there. Of all places, why
Bethlehem? Why go there to find the king?
Because that's where the king of kings is going to come from.
All of this is to fulfill the type of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, Go to Bethlehem. Samuel,
and there I will reveal my King. He's going to come from Bethlehem.
And so it was that the Lord himself came from Bethlehem. Verse 3, so he said, Call Jesse to the
sacrifice. Go to Bethlehem, call Jesse to
the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do. And
thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee." Go call
Jesse to the sacrifice and anoint him whom I shall name to thee. I'm going to reveal, I'm going
to have to reveal him to you, Samuel. You won't know him by
sight, by natural sight. You won't know him. His brethren
won't know him. No one will know him except him
to whom I reveal him. And so it is with the Lord Jesus
Christ. He came to his own, his own received
him not. His brethren just thought he
was a man like they were. But to those to whom the Father
reveals him, they see who he is, their king. Jesus Christ must be revealed
by the Father and God the Spirit. So Samuel did that which the
Lord spake. Verse 4, He came to Bethlehem. Samuel came to Bethlehem, and
the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest
thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably. I am
come to sacrifice unto the Lord. And I was reminded of when the
angels came and appeared unto the shepherds on the hillside.
who trembled at their presence. And the herald of the angels
that day was peace on earth, goodwill toward men, goodwill
toward men. Verse 5, look at this. Every
word is significant. The Lord said, or Samuel said,
I'm come to sacrifice unto the Lord. Sanctify yourselves and
come with me to the sacrifice. Come see the sacrifice. That's why Christ came, to be
the Lamb slain, to be the sacrifice. That's what we come to. And he
sanctified, look at this, Samuel sanctified, set Jesse and his
sons apart and called them to the sacrifice. And so it is with
God when he reveals Christ to his people. The scripture says
it became him in bringing many sons. to glory, sons. Like Samuel with Jesse's sons,
the Lord sanctifies his people. He calls them out. He sets them
apart from the masses to reveal to them who the Christ is, brings
them to Christ, brings them to his glory, bringing many sons
to glory, to bring them to the sacrifice, to behold his glory. Come see Christ the King. Now,
at first, it wasn't completely clear to Samuel who the king
was. It wasn't completely clear to
him. But God had promised to him that
he had a king among Jesse's sons. God promised him that. Samuel
was the prophet of God, but he did not know perfectly who it
was that was the And over in 1 Peter 1, it says that the prophets
of old searched diligently into the things that they prophesied
of him that was to come. But it was not revealed unto
them, but unto us. Are you with me? So Samuel didn't know who this
king was, but he knew where he was coming from. And the sons
of Jesse, in the scriptures, the prophets wrote many things
about the rod of the stem of Jesse. Bethlehem, Micah wrote,
O Bethlehem, Ephratheth, out of thee shall come he. Micah
didn't know his name was Jesus, didn't know. He knew that Christ
was coming from Bethlehem. and the prophets. Now we see
clearly, revealed to us, who he is. Verse 7, And so the Lord
said unto Samuel. Verse 6, He came to Bethlehem,
and when they were come, each one of these sons started appearing
before Samuel, the prophet. The first one, whose name was
Eliah, Elihu. And I would imagine that he looked
the most like his father, and he was probably a tall, dark,
and handsome, dashing-looking fellow, because Samuel was impressed
by him. Samuel was very impressed by
Eliah. Samuel said this, verse 6, Surely the Lord's anointed
is before me. Look at him. This must be the
one. It has to be. Look at him. He
looks so good. He's so appealing to my flesh. He looks so good. He's so strong
and valiant it seems. But no, verse 7, The Lord said
unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height
of his stature. because I had refused him." Now,
listen carefully. Scripture says God is no respecter
of persons. God is no respecter of persons.
What does that mean? That means that anything we are
or anything we do, wherever we come from or what we look like
or however we may appear before men, God pays no attention to
that whatsoever. No matter how moral we may seem
to men, God's not looking at that, and God is not impressed. No matter if we're Jew or Gentile,
there's no respect of persons with God, black or white, male
or female, no sir. God pays no attention, there's
no favor with God because we're this way or that way, because
quit this or quit that, or we're religious or we're not religious,
that's not acceptance with God. That's not the issue. God doesn't
look on outward countenance or our works and so forth. Read
on. God says, I have refused him. The Lord seeth not as man seeth,
for man looketh on the outward countenance. Men can greatly
fool one another and impress one another. God's
vision is not, he's not looking on the outcome. With the Lord,
it says, looketh on the heart. Scripture says, out of the hearts
are the issues of life. Scripture says, God fashioneth
their hearts alike. What are all men's hearts by
nature alike? What are they? Well, he's got
a good heart. No, he doesn't. The scripture
says the heart across the board of every human being that's born
on this planet is deceitful above everything and desperately wicked. Who can know it? Men are corrupt by nature. Men
are sinners before a just and holy God first. Unless God gives
them a new heart. Unless God gives them a new heart,
like he said in Ezekiel 37, I'll give them a new heart. I'll create
in them a new spirit. I'll give them a new walk. I'll change them. They won't
get any glory for it. God looketh on the heart. And
it says in another place that God sought him, Samuel said this,
God has a man after his own heart. God told Saul, he said, or Samuel
told Saul, God told him through Samuel. God has rejected thee
from being a king because God has sought him a man after his
own heart. And God rejects man across the
board. There's none acceptable, there's
none good, no not one, none righteous before God Almighty, not one. No matter how they may appear
to men, God looks on the heart and sees all men alike before
him. desperately wicked, in need of regeneration, dead and trespassed
and sinned. That's how God sees all men,
even though men see one another as being good and so forth. Not
God. Not God. He looks on the heart.
He knows the thoughts, the intents, the motives, everything about
the heart. Every thought is exposed to an
omniscient God. omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
God. Every thought. But God has him
a king after his own heart. Always has had his king. And
that's the God-man. That's the Lord Jesus Christ
with the heart of God. Yea, the very express image of
God himself with a heart, with a heart. If we look at things
with carnal eyes, will not see clearly, will not see clearly. God has in a man with a heart
of a king, a heart for God, a heart for God's glory. Like Saul, every
man would steal God's glory and make himself a king. Those who
had Christ revealed, they see him, they bow beneath to him.
Now read verses 8 through 10 with me, verses 8 through 10.
Jesse called Abinadab, the next one came, and made him pass before
Samuel. And Samuel said, or the Lord
said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this one. This is not the one. And then Jesse made Shema to
pass by. And he said, Samuel said, Neither
hath the Lord chosen this one. You see, the Lord is rejecting
them all. And again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before
Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The
Lord hath not chosen thee. You see? So Jesse brought all
his sons. Surely one of these is him. Surely
one of them. One of these sons, you see, got
a bit. Brought them all, they thought. Brought them all. And the Lord said, No, none of
these are accepted. None of these are my king. But
you turn with me to John, chapter 1, the Gospel of John, chapter
1. Now, the scripture says, God,
who at sundry times, in divers manner, spake in times past unto
the Father by the prophets, many of whom these prophets were
thought to be the Christ. You remember when Christ stood
before his disciples and said, Who do men say that I am? And
some said, Well, you're Elijah. Some said, Well, you're John
the Baptist. Or some said, You're this prophet or that prophet.
And even these men when they came, Moses and any whom God
sent, if not all of them at one time or another, were mistaken
by men as being that the Christ, the prophet. Moses came, and he was a prophet
of God, a powerful man used by God, a great man whom God made
great. But Moses quickly, very quickly
said, I'm not the prophet. I'm not that prophet. He said,
the Lord will raise up a prophet unto you. Him, everybody will
come to. He'll be that prophet, the one
to end all prophets, that prophet. Joshua. Moses couldn't lead the
people. Moses couldn't save the people,
could he? God killed Moses. So Joshua was raised up. What
a great man. Joshua. What a picture of Christ
Joshua is. Well, Joshua had a good name,
didn't he? A really good name. But he didn't leave the people
complete rest. There was still much unrest under
Joshua's reign. Samuel came up. And all the people
had some peace and some direction and some great leadership. Samuel
was a great man. He was just a man. He was a prophet, he was a priest,
but he wasn't a king. Moses was a prophet, but he wasn't
a priest and king. Joshua was a priest, but he wasn't
a king. Samuel was a prophet and a priest.
But he wasn't a prophet priest again. There was Isaiah. Isaiah was raised up. Jeremiah. Daniel. Great men. Ezekiel. John was the last of the Old
Testament prophets. John the Baptist. Baptizer. Look at John chapter 1. And that
came to John. Everyone recognized that John
was A great man, verse 19, this is the record of John. This is
what John had to say about himself. When the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed. He denied not. Immediately he
confessed, I am not the Christ. This is how you know God's true
creature and true prophet. He immediately denounces himself.
before all the people. When people sin to learn of him,
to adore him and to praise him, call him Reverend or call him
Doctor or this and that and the other, and make much of him,
if he's a true man of God, come for God's glory, he'll immediately
say, Now, I'm not the Christ. Don't worship me. Well, who are
you? You're a great man, aren't you?
John went on to say in another place, he must increase, I must
decrease. And that's the motto of every
true preacher. And all these fellows who exalt
themselves before men in whatever manner it may be, how they dress,
how they are referred to by men, how they appear before men, if
they appear to be something more than just a man, they're not
God's men. They're sharing the glory. But
John said, I'm not the Christ. Let's get this straight from
the beginning. I am not the Christ. No man who ever has walked this
planet is worthy of anybody's adoration. No man is worthy to
be called reverend. Psalm 119 says, Holy and reverend
is his name. Who? The worthy one. The man. The king of kings and the Lord
of lords. The rest of us are beggars before the king. Mere messenger boys. Preachers
are nothing great. But to God, that is. John said, I'm not he. I'm not
the Christ. Well, they said, well, who are
you? Verse 21. Are you Elijah? He said, I am not. These pretended
preachers today who go about having men and women think that
there is something when there is nothing, men stand up before people and
actually say things like, No prophet ever said that. Not
one time I challenge anybody on this planet to show me one
prophet that ever stood up and said, I am anointed. Someone says Isaiah said it.
No he didn't. He wrote that in Isaiah 61 of
Christ. Christ who stood in the temple
that day and quoted that very passage who said, the Spirit
of God hath anointed me. Christ said this day. Is this
true? Only now is this true of he who
speaks it. I am anointed. That's what the
word Christ means, people. This is a deluded generation.
The word Christ means anointed. He's the anointed one. He's the
only one that can stand up and say, I am anointed. Get that clear, and anybody you
hear say that, Mark him off as a false prophet. John said, I am not he. Who are
you then? Verse 22. Who are you? What sayest thou of thyself?
Are you reading it with me? Verse 22. What do you say about
yourself? Verse 23. You said, I'm a voice
of one crying in awareness. Make straight the way of the
Lord. I'm here to point you to him,
away from me to him." Read on, this is good. Down in
verse 25, they asked him, Why do you baptize then, if thou
be not the Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet? John said,
I just baptize with water. But there standeth one among
you. whom you know not." Oh, nothing
needs to be said more than what John is saying right here to
our present generation. There standeth one among you,
there's one in whose hands your breath is and all your way, whom
you don't know. You think he's standing at your
door knocking. Verse 27, John said, He it is who coming after me
is preferred before me. I am not worthy. He's worthy. Go back to the text. Back to
the text. So John and Nephi said, he distinguished
who the true one was. All right? Go back to the text. This is good. I hope someone's
getting something. 1 Samuel 16. There is one preeminent difference
between this one whom God chose and all of these fellows. Right
there. The heart. I look at verse 11. So God turned down, God chose,
turned down every son of Adam who had ever walked this planet.
Not one single son has God said, This is my anointed one. This
is the one in whom I'm well pleased. This is the one whom I've chosen
to lead my, no sir, no sir. There's only one whom God said
from heaven I'm well pleased with him. God's not pleased with
anyone else, except those in him. Those that bow to him. Those that believe him. So Samuel
said unto Jesse, verse eleven, are here, all of our children? And Jephthah said, Whether yet
remaineth the youngest? Now, Samuel was God's prophet.
Samuel read God's words. Samuel read the books of Moses. Samuel read the words of Jacob,
the word of God to Jacob, the word of God to his father, Isaac,
the elder shall serve the youngest." Samuel had read God's words. Samuel was God's preacher, and
I believe something clicked in his head. The youngest? You mean
we have another one left, and he's the youngest? Oh, the youngest! I know something clicked in his
head. Read on. And Jesse said, well, he's the
youngest, and behold, where is he? He keepeth the sheep. He's just a shepherd. Oh! He's a shepherd? Where is he? He's, well, he's out on the hillside. Jesse went on to say, he said,
he's not like the other boys. He's been different from the
beginning. Why, he's a solitary young man.
All it seems that he loves to do is to sit out there and watch
those sheep and guard those sheep and commune with his Lord and
sing. All he does is sit out there
and sing. Right? what he calls Psalms. And he's a shepherd. Jesse thought,
no, you can't make a king out of a shepherd, but Satan's a
shepherd? The youngest? Now, you may have never seen
this prophecy, but I've never seen it. Do you want to carry
it with me? Genesis 49, verse 24. It's kind of hidden, and it's
in a little thing in parenthesis. A little thing in parenthesis,
Genesis 49. This is the dying blessings of
Jacob upon all of his sons, the sons of Jacob, the twelve tribes
of Israel. I've never seen this before.
Kind of passed over it because it's in parenthesis. And Jacob
comes to Joseph. He comes to Joseph, and he's
talking about Joseph in prophecy. Verse 24 says, "...his bow abode
in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by
the hands of the mighty God of Jacob." On the fence is the shepherd,
the stone of history. It's the first time the word
shepherd is used in Scripture. Shepherds were disdained by the
Egyptians. If you go back and read the story of Joseph, Joseph
told Pharaoh, Joseph told his dad, don't tell them we're shepherds.
They hate shepherds. And the first mention here of
the shepherd is in prophecy of Christ, the shepherd. Samuel
read this. Samuel asked Jesse, all your
sons here? And Jesse said, no, the youngest. And same as so, but behold, but wait, he's just a shepherd. Shepherd, the youngest. Is he
a good one? Oh yeah, he keepeth the sheep. He keepeth the sheep. He's a
good shepherd. He's never lost one. Never lost
one. Oh, Samuel can't wait, man. Look
at this. Look at what Samuel said, and
I love this. He keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said, under Justice,
stand and fetch him. We will not sit down until he
comes. We're not going to rest until
he comes. We're not going to have any peace
until he comes. We're not going to have a king
until he comes. The rest of them are rejected.
Send and fetch the shepherd. Send and fetch the youngest whom
we shall serve. Send and fetch him. Oh my, the
youngest. Behold, he keepeth the sheep.
Where was Christ before the Father sent him in the fullness of time,
before the Father revealed him? Where was Jesus Christ? Behold,
he keepeth the sheep. He was keeping the sheep. He's
always been the shepherd. He was Ezekiel's shepherd. God
said, I will keep my flock. Before the Father revealed him
as the Christ, before the Father revealed him, he was the good
shepherd, the great shepherd, the keeper of the flock. And then Samuel says, for sin
and infection, we're not going to eat. We're not going to sit
down until God shows us his King. There's not going to be any rest
for us. I'm going to wait, Samuel said,
until he comes. And all of time and eternity
has been waiting for the Christ to come. We're waiting and still
waiting. All time and eternity waited
for the coming King, and in the fullness of time, God fetched
him. He was with the Father, and God
fetched him and said to his son, it's time. It's time for you
to be born of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that
are under the law, to be my king, king of kings. David's son, go
to Bethlehem, be born of a woman, born of a virgin. and be their
king, be the captain of their salvation, which is our next
story. And God fetched him from his
very bosom. He's the exalted one. What's
the rest of this verse, Nancy? Chosen from among the people,
the only chosen one. God said to Isaiah in chapter
42, Behold, mine elect. Behold, my chosen, mine elect,
my servant whom I have chosen. He'll bring forth judgment. He'll
be the king. He'll reign in righteousness.
Our Lord said to my Lord, David wrote this, the Lord said to
my Lord, go to earth, be made of woman, become a man, live
under the law, fulfill all righteousness for my people, become a cursed
man, be made sin for them, go to the cross, put their sin and
guilt upon you for my people, be punished in their stead. rise
from the grave, come back and sit at the right hand of my majesty
and my glory, and bring all those sons home to glory with you to
the marriage supper of the land. Call on all my sons to the supper,
the final coronation of, crowning of the King of kings and Lord
of lords. And thus is this story. Samuel said to Jesse, fetch him,
we'll not sit down till he comes hither. And so Jesse sent and
brought him in. Now, how long did this take?
Well, David's way out there on the hillside. David's a far off. He's keeping
a sheep. He's a far off. It took a while. They had to
wait on him, didn't they? They had to wait patiently. And
finally, finally he came in. I love this. Oh, I love this. And they sat and brought him
in. Here he comes. He comes walking in. Now, he is wearing a shepherd's
robe, plain clothing, isn't it? With Telly, I'm just certain
he's got mud all over his feet. Dirty fingernails. Maybe a little blood from lambing
some lambs. An old staff in his hand. He's not all adorned on the outside,
you know. He doesn't have his finer clothes. He just looks like shit. Look
at how the word of God describes him. And this is a picture of our
Lord himself. Now it says he was ruddy. Ruddy. What does ruddy mean? You know
that word comes from the very word Adam. Adam, when he was
created, was red in his face. He had red skin. He must have looked something
like one of the Native American Indians. Look, red in his skin,
in other words, the blood was in his flesh, blood, blood red. And David was ruddy-looking,
red-faced from being out there in the elements. He was out there
in the elements, ruddy, red-faced, always with sheep, always out
there amongst them, feeding, watering, ruddy-looking, red
in the face. It said, read on, it says, and
he was with all, all in all, his whole person, was a beautiful
countenance, beautiful countenance, and goodly to not look at, but
to look to. Did you catch that? Goodly to
look to. His brethren didn't see anything
in him. This is the word of God talking
here. This is God describing David. Huh? It's not Elihu, Eliab,
describing his brother. Tell me about your brother. He's
just a squirt. He's just a little shepherd. And they, when David
came in, I guarantee you those seven brothers said, it can't
be him. No way! Samuel, there's no sense
in it. And they brought him in and No,
this can't be him. God's word says. He's beautiful. He doesn't appeal to the natural
man. You see all these idols that
men have made of this Jesus. You know, all these pictures
men and women have painted of some Jesus, an absolute figment
of their imagination. There's no description of Jesus
Christ in the scripture. And God plainly God plainly said,
don't do that. Didn't he? He said, make no greater
enemy. Did he not? Men do it anyway. Well, how do they depict him?
A beautiful Caucasian fellow with blue eyes. Scripture does describe him. It says, there's no beauty that
we should desire him. He hath no form or company. He
looks just like any normal Jewish man. And the people, his brethren,
his very brethren, turned him down, that the scriptures
might be fulfilled. But the word of God says he's
beautiful. Oh, I love the Song of Solomon. They asked the Shulamite maiden,
What is your beloved more than any other? She said, oh, his
cheeks are coming. They said, well, what is your
beloved more than other beloved? Oh, they said, my beloved is
white and ready. I see blood on his face. I see
salvation in his face. That bloody face. You want to
look at a good picture, a glorious picture of the Lord Jesus Christ?
paint that marred face, marred, his visage marred more than that
blood that covers his disfigured face. That's his glory. Bloody. But, oh boy, every sinner
that looks into the face of that bloody sacrifice, it's beautiful.
To look to! To look to. Not look at, nothing
special to look at. salvation and looking to Him. God's Word is so perfect, isn't
it? It didn't say, look at. Look unto me and be ye saved. Oh, you didn't observe, but I'm
God, didn't I? That man hanging on the cross,
that's God? Yeah. He's ready. Oh, he's beautiful,
isn't he? It's grotesque to me. Let's take
that out of our religion. Let's take that bloody depiction
of Jesus out of our religion. No, don't do that. That is our
religion. The ruddy-faced son of David. Read on. He's goodly to look
to. And the Lord said, Arise. Arise,
my soul, arise. Arise, let everyone arise, all
rise. Why? Somebody's coming in. David himself wrote this later
on in Psalm 24. Everyone arise, somebody's coming
in, isn't it? You always rise in the presence
of dignity, in the presence of majesty. And David wrote this in Psalm
24, he said, somebody's coming in, open the gates, here it comes,
who is he? Who is he? God said, this is he. Can I have another 45 minutes?
This is what God says from the beginning, to Adam, somebody's
coming. All your hope, all your salvation,
the very destiny of this planet spins and hangs in the balance
upon this One who is to come. The heavens await His coming.
The angels look into these things. And this is what they said. That's
what John said when he saw Him. That's Him. That's what the angels
said when they saw Him. This is He. This is what God says when he
announced him. This is my son. And when you ever hear the gospel,
the truth, and God ever speaks to your heart, it won't be some
emotional service over this and that and the other and some,
you know, this or that and the other happens, some calamity
or disaster or emotional appeal by the preacher, and you want
your body healed, don't you want your finances taken care of?
No, God will bring you face to face with him. This is salvation. Christ said,
Under me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess, this
is he. God says this to every son of
Adam. He wants salvation, this is it.
If you want mercy, it's right there. You want grace, it's him. You want to be accepted by me,
that's him. You want blessings of God, go
to him. This is he. He's he. He's all in all. He is salvation. It's in him. It's in him. So,
God forgive me for a pitiful effort to exalt your son. Samuel took the horn of oil. He represents the Holy Spirit
here. At Christ's buried baptism, it says, the Holy Spirit descended
upon him as a dove and anointed him in the midst of his brethren.
The Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. Who is he? God's King. This is
he. This is he. Oh, it was a bunch
of people that continued to follow Saul. They liked Saul better.
They bowed to Saul. They thought Saul was their king.
Oh, they died with him. Everybody who maintained allegiance
to Saul and continued to follow Saul died with him. Enemies of
the king of kings. But now anyone who's in distress,
in debt, discontented, poor, wretched, miserable, vile,
and naked, and sinful, and feels himself as unacceptable to God,
and weak, and helpless, and just buck privates, and need a captain. This is it. This is it. All right. Let's sing in closing
number sixteen. I saved the best for last, saying
this is so fitting of our Lord. Number sixteen, stand as we say,
number sixteen, the Lord is King. Our Lord is King, lift up, lift
up my voice. Sing His praise, sing His praise. All heaven and earth before Him
now rejoice. Sing His praise, sing His praise. From world to world, our joy
shall reign, for He alone reigns. Thank you.
