know what the gospel is, I believe they could find out.
I believe they would know, they would hear these messages from
this particular book. This book is a declaration of
the gospel in very plain language, very simple language. The apostle
goes into great detail. And part of the reason, perhaps
the greatest reason why he wrote this letter to the churches in
Galatia is because there was another gospel going around.
There were some who claimed to be believers in Christ. And they were talking about gospel,
but it wasn't the gospel. It was another gospel. As early
as this. I mean, just a few years after
our Lord went back to glory, there was already a false gospel
spreading all over. False preachers were abounded. It's amazing. And our Lord said,
in prophecy of the latter days, He said, in the end, many Many
false prophets, many false preachers and prophets will come. But it already started when Paul
wrote this letter. Paul was in prison. This is one
of his prison epistles, one of the letters he wrote from jail
in Rome. And let's just begin in verse
1. Paul, an apostle, and then he adds this parenthesis, this
these words in parenthesis, not of men, neither by a man, but
by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead.
An apostle, most of you know that an apostle was one who had three qualifications
to be an apostle, okay? These three qualifications, a
man, every apostle met these three qualifications, criteria. And you'll know very quickly
why there are no more apostles. I know that many say there are,
but there are no more apostles. Number one, an apostle was one
who had to see the Lord personally. I mean actually see the Lord
in person, see him. Some of them didn't believe Paul
was an apostle because they didn't believe he saw the Lord, but
he did now. He did on the road to Damascus, remember? The Lord
appeared to him as he is, in light. And so he
saw the Lord. No one since Paul has seen the
Lord, no man. And the apostles, every one of
the apostles, all thirteen of them, right, thirteen, received
their orders directly from the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words,
he told each one of them where he was sending them, what they
were to do and so forth, the mandate. from the Lord, as Paul
did. And nobody receives any direct
orders from the Lord anymore. No, we all get our orders from
the same source, same book. Thirdly, they were equipped with
supernatural powers, supernatural powers, gifts, which none before
or none since have ever had. These men could raise Now, I
know there are many who try to, like Pharaoh's sorcerers, try
to mimic Moses' tricks, they called it. And that's what these fellows
today are, tricksters. And they try to mimic them, but
they're not apostles. They're not apostles. Paul was
the last. That's very important. Why is
that important? Because if he's not, then throw this book away. There are fourteen epistles written
by him, most of the New Testament. And if he's not God's hand-picked,
Christ's hand-picked messenger, and everything he says is absolutely
true, the Word of God, then throw this book away. Forget this. So it's very important that God
spoke through men. always has and always will. He spoke through the Hebrews
1 says through the prophets in times past and God came down
here himself to this earth and spoke and handpicked his successors
if you will his messengers that's a better term not his successors
but those who would succeed him in in preaching the gospel. And they were apostles. And what
they said was as it is in the word of God. That's very important
because we don't listen to what men say anymore as being infallible. The Pope is not infallible. He's not an apostle. That's what
he claims. He's not. And no other man is. You see how important that is?
Paul, an apostle. And there were some who questioned
him being an apostle. They came in the Church of Galatia
and questioned that. Put a question mark on it. And
isn't that relevant today? Isn't that going around the world
today, putting a question mark on all that Paul has written,
don't they? Especially women. Especially
women. Things that Paul said about the
headship of man and so forth. That's just some old bachelor
named Paul who had it in for women, didn't like women. So
he said these things. Disregard that and take what
you know. It's the word of God. He's an apostle. You understand
that? And like I said, God does still
have his preachers, his God-called preachers, but now they're not
infallible. Everything they say is not infallible,
and this is why John said in 1 John 4, he said, You try them.
You put them to the test. You put every one of them on
trial. They're called preachers. Put them on trial. Try them by
the words. That's the standard. That's the
ruler. If they speak not according to
the word, there's no light in them. They're not God's preachers. Okay, so that's important, an
apostle. And he says it's not of men. It's not of men, not
by men. I don't work for men, he said,
and I wasn't hired by men. It's not men I'm after. Would
you listen to this very carefully? Paul said, I'm not doing what
I'm doing so I can save as many people as I can. Save as many souls, be a winner
of souls. That's not of men, not by men,
not for men. And we'll see in a minute why
Paul was in it. Not see how many, but how much
glory he gave to God. All right? All right, now look
at verse 2. He says, And all the brethren
which are with me, I'm writing to the churches of Galatia. All
the brethren with me. Now Paul's in jail. He's under house arrest is what
it is. He had to spend his nights in
a jail, but yet during the day or whatever time they gave him,
they let him into wherever, a room or whatever, and let people come
to hear him preach. Wonder who worked that arrangement
out, eh? God did. Isn't that amazing? But he was
under house arrest, and now this is good to think about this. It says, All the brethren with
me. You can believe what this man
says because of who he is, because of what he is enduring. for the
truth's sake. He has nothing to gain, Brother
Dan. He's not gaining. He's not rich because of what
he's preaching. He lost all things. He has nothing. He has to depend on people to
bring him his next meal. He hasn't gotten rich. He hasn't
gotten a name for himself. The whole world hates him. They want him dead. Not God's
people. which are just a few. But the
whole world wants him dead. He hadn't made a name for himself.
He's not in it for a name for himself. And he's suffering the
loss of all things. He's going, he's enduring persecution. He's, you can believe what this man
says. He has no ulterior motive, it's
obvious. And those that came, listen, listen to me. Those that
come to hear him preach, where are they coming to? Are they
coming to some big, elaborate, beautiful glass, lovely landscaped
building, you know? Are they coming to see the choir? Are they coming to see, oh, the
elaborately illustrious Paul, the great apostle in his robes
and his great orator? No. They're coming to see a little
short, bald-headed man sitting in a jail cell. He's got a book
open, a Bible, and they're crowding in there. Why? They want to hear
the gospel. That's it. That's the only reason
they're there. That's the only reason they're
there, and not because of the surroundings. What miserable circumstances.
What a miserable place, what an awful looking church. First
Baptist church of the jailhouse. That's what God's people are,
that's why they come to here. They come to hear the gospel.
Not to see anything. They come to hear. And so, and
you notice he says, all the brethren that are with me, everybody here,
he says, everybody here believes the same thing. All of us here
who are to hear the gospel, we're writing to you. And this is what
we all say. We're all in this together. Every
one of us are in perfect agreement about all things. We're just
not a sour note. We all agree about everything. You say, that's impossible. No,
it's not, is it Stan? Huh? is that we can't have you
and I disagree on anything we've been together now twelve years
really concerning God's word. I made that statement to somebody
somewhere one time without make it all the time. That I've been here twelve years
now and there just hasn't been one single fuss or fight or one
not one ripple. Not one. Now, that's impossible, isn't
it? No, it's not. With God, it's
not. With man, it is. If it's a church
formed by men, for men, then it'll have problems. You
can split it over changing sides of the room, where they can get
them out of their seats. You'll cause a fuss. They won't
come back. Or the color of the curtains,
and that's why we don't have any. No. You can. I mean, literally, you can. It's
been done. It's been split wide open. Well,
I have, you know, my grandmother put those curtains up. You can't
take those down. My grandmother was a founding member here. How
could they? We're going someplace else. Why'd you come to the first place?
To look at the curtains? And so you see that? That's important.
They hear, these people come to a jailhouse to hear a miserable
little fella, looking fella, preach the gospel. That's it.
And they all say, we all agree about everything. That's what,
that's the reason Paul included them, all the brethren with me.
All right? Now, verse 3, he says, and peace
from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, this
is not just a a salutation. This is not just how we say good
morning. He's not just saying this in
passing as a as a word of habit, a catchphrase or something. How are you? And we always say
that we don't always mean it. Hello, how are you? You doing
OK? Good to see you. What's happening? What's going
on? Oh, no, no, no, no. grace to you. He starts this
thing, how that everything starts with grace. What is grace? Well, this whole book is about
the gospel of God's grace. That's what it's all about. It's
about grace. He wrote this letter to declare the gospel of God's grace,
as opposed to works. He says there's only one gospel.
It's the gospel of grace. He says there's only one way
to be saved, and it's by grace. It's not of works, lest any man
should boast. You say, that's Ephesians. I know. It's also Galatians. We're going to see that through
this whole study, that Paul goes to great lengths to define the
gospel. This thing's grace, Brother Ed.
It's grace. What is grace? Well, I'm going
to define it. I'm not just going to say it. And Paul does ten, six chapters
defining it, not just saying it. Oh, we believe in grace. What is grace, Paul? Well, you
mean grace to you. What we mean by that is an absolute unearned gift,
unsought, unbought gift, the grace of God, a gift, unmerited
favor, salvation. Now listen, we're not talking
about a gift offered. either. A gift offered for someone
to accept or reject. No, no. Gift bestowed. Grace bestowed upon us. Salvation bestowed upon us. All right? More on that later.
Read on. Grace to you. Grace from God
who thought it. Grace from Christ who bought
it. Grace from the Holy Spirit who
brought it. Grace to you and peace. Peace. Here's the gift. Absolute unconditional
pardon. Complete peace with God. This
is why it's not an offer, Nancy. Because we can't make peace with
God. Somebody had to make peace. Somebody
had to do something to to obtain this peace for us. God's angry
with the wicked every day. Sold at sin and must surely die.
God will by no means clear the guilty. That's us. Somebody's
going to have to make peace for us. All right? From God. Read on. Who's it from? And peace from
God the Father. God's the one who declared it. I'm going to be at peace with
some of these rebels and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who came
down here to take the brutal killing that we deserve in order
for God, holy God, to be at peace. I read on, he says, now he, Christ
came and he gave himself for our sin. Now every word is significant. Talking about grace here, we're
talking about a gift. Who gave. Christ came. Scripture says the wages of sin
is death, but the gift of God His eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord, through Him. The gift of God is Christ. God gave His Son, all right?
Now look at the word very carefully with me again. This struck me
for the first time. Who gave Himself for our sins. It does not say that God's greatest gift that
He could give at Christmas is he gave Christ to you. To you. He doesn't say to. He
doesn't say that God gave his son to us, does he? That struck me. He doesn't say
to. You say you're splitting words. No, I'm reading words.
I'm not splitting them. He doesn't say Christ gave, God
gave his son to you. The greatest gift he could give
to you is giving. Now here, you want it? was a sign. It says he gave himself, Christ
gave himself for our sins, for our sins. God didn't give Christ
two men to do with him as he pleased, but he gave Christ for
his people, for his sheep. He said, I lay down my life for
my sheep. for their sins as a sin payment,
as a substitute, as a ransom price for the redemption of the
transgression of the people. For, not to. Is that important? The difference in the gospel
and the false one is in these words. You see that? For our sins. He gave himself for our sins
as a substitute, as a sin payment, that he might deliver us, that
he might deliver us from this present evil world. Who is the
us? Well, he says, now look at it
very carefully, deliver us from the present evil world, us from
the world. Got that? Us from the world. It doesn't say he came to deliver
the whole world and whoever will. No, deliver us from the world. Does John 3.16 give you any one
problem? It ought to cause everyone to
rejoice. For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. God sent not his Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him
might be saved. That's verse seventeen. Let me
keep reading. Verse eighteen says, He that
believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth on is condemned
already. Whoever doesn't believe is already
under condemnation. I want you to turn to first John
with first John chapter two. All right first John chapter
two. And look at this in light of.
What I just read to you from John three first John two. You have it, 1 John 2. We're
talking about the world. We're talking about us and talking
about the world. John says much about the world. In his epistle,
verse 15, love not the world. 1 John 1, no, 2. 1 John 2, verse
15. You have it, everyone. Love not
the world. Now wait a minute, God so loved
the world. He tells us don't love the world. We must be talking about something
different than people, persons. Right? Love not the world, these
are the things that are in the world. If any man loved the world,
the love of the Father's not in him. You love the world, God
doesn't love you, and the love of God's not in you. But God
so loved the world. Verse 16, he says, here's what's
in the world, all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father,
that's of the world. Paul just told us, he came to
deliver us from this evil world. Isn't it an evil world? Not sweet and precious world,
but an evil world. Look at 1 John 4, 5. 1 John 5,
look at verse 19. Look at this, 1 John 5, verse
19. John says, We know that we are
of God in the whole world, life and wickedness. And I remind you, when Christ
prayed in John 17, when he's praying his prayer to the Father,
he said, I'm not praying for the world. I pray not for the
world, but for who? for them which thou hast given
me." And some say, well, he's just talking about the apostles.
No, no, no, because he went on to say, neither pray I for these
alone, but for others which shall believe through them. Other sheep,
for other sheep I have which are not of this little fold,
them also I must bring out of the world that I gave myself
for them. to deliver them from this present
evil world. You know, the song of the redeemed
over in Revelation is this, unto him that loved us and redeemed
us by his own precious blood, out of every tribe, kindred,
nation, and tongue under heaven, out of the world, the evil world,
this present evil world. Now go back to Galatians 1. It's
not talking about John 3 verse 16, not talking about every single
individual. He plainly named some by name,
didn't he? He hated them. All right? And he says, He came
to deliver us from this present evil world. This world is evil. This world is evil. The holy
God loves holy things. He cannot love unholy things.
This is why God foreloved his people before the world began. Before they even became sinners,
he set his love on, he foreloved them before they were born. He had to, for him to love them,
he said, and gave them to Christ, who's the Lamb slain before the
foundation of the world. Why is Christ called the Lamb
slain before the foundation of the world? Because before there
was ever a sinner, there was a substitute, there was a righteousness
whereby God could love a sinner. Is that clear? All right, look
at the text now. He says, He gave himself for
our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world.
Deliver us from what? control of this world, our Lord
said man's thoughts are all wrong. Everything about the natural
man is all wrong. And I'm going to deliver you from it. I'm going
to give you my thoughts, my heart, my word to his people. But everything else is all wrong.
I'm going to deliver you from the control of this world, the
controlling influence of it on your mind and your heart and
your ways. the condemnation of the world.
He came to deliver us from what this world has come. Now, God
will destroy the world by the brightness of His coming. He came to deliver us from this
present evil world, which He will destroy. It's not a loving
God that's going to destroy this world, is it? It's a holy God, just God. How does he do this? Well, it's
according to the will of God our Father. How are we delivered? How are
we saved? How are we spared? How is it that we are considered
in Christ? How is it that Christ came to
be our substitute? How is it that Christ came to
be our Savior, our Redeemer? How is it that Christ is our
Lord and our Savior? How is it? Whose will is it? Whose will is it now? Whose will
does this thing start with? According to the will of God
our Father. That's where this thing starts.
It started according to His will and His purpose. Then He says
in Psalm 110, Thy people, thy people, that you chose, that
you willed to save, that you gave to Christ, He say, Thy people,
they will be made willing. They will be willing. Whosoever
will. Who are they, Lord? Too many
to number. We'll just say, Whosoever will. They come. They will come. They
will come in the day of His power. the day of his gospel power,
that Christ has already come, Christ has already redeemed them,
Christ has already, God has already decided, and it's not up to their
decision, God's already made the decision. He said it. You
remember? We know who's elected. We know
who the election is by. The elects. Listen to this passage
of Scripture. I meant to quote it last time.
Foundation of God, stand assured. Foundation of God standeth sure.
Having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. My favorite verse. The foundation
of God standeth sure. The house of God, that's the
foundation in it. The foundation was laid, which
is Christ Himself. Every brick that's put on it
is foreordained. There's not going to be a hole
in the wall anywhere. The foundation of God standeth
sure. The house will be except the
Lord build the house, it won't be built. And the top stone will
be added to it with cries of what? Grace. Started by grace,
end by grace. Foundation of God standeth sure,
having this seal. It's sealed. The book's sealed. The names are in it. The Lord
knoweth them that are his. God knows because that's who
he purposed to Christ knows because that's who God gave to him to
come and suffer. The Holy Spirit knows because
they all have blood on them. And he goes out rounding them
up with the gospel. That's how they're rounded up,
the gospel. That's the gospel. That's the cord of love. That's
the lasso of the gospel. That's how they're called. And
they're made willing with that power. That's what it's all about. That's
what this whole ball of dirt's about. That's what salvation's
all about. It's not of man, for man, by
man. It's not like that fool in Oklahoma
said, God was lonely, and so he created man for his glory. Now, God needs
you. There can't be a church without
you. It's spelled C-H-R-C-H. We need you in it. Oh, no. Oh, no. Church is not spelled
like that in Greek. There's no U in it. There isn't. What's it all about? And listen
to Isaiah 43. Listen to this. If you want to
turn, I would not get mad at you. As a matter of fact, you
might get a blessing if you turn there. I don't write these things down
for you to turn. I don't quote them to fill up
time. There's not enough time, but for your edification. Isaiah
43, listen to this. Verse 1, he says, Now thus saith
the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, he made you. He that formed thee,
he formed you. Sounds like God's in control
of this piece of clay. Sounds like God's the one that
did everything concerning this one named Jacob, didn't He? He
did. Look at all the I wills and I
haves. I have redeemed thee. Not I will if you, oh, not I
will if you let me. Oh, ball of clay, won't you let
me have my say? Oh, no. I have redeemed thee. Before you were born, I have
called thee by thy name. Verse 5, "'Fear not, I am with
thee. I will bring thy seed from the
east and gather thee from the west. I'll say to the north,
Give up, give up. To the south, keep not back.
Bring my sons from afar, my daughters from the ends of the earth.'"
He's not asking anybody to do anything. He's saying, I will.
This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell the north,
south, east, and west to come. Who's he talking to? The wind. Sounds like he's talking to the
wind. He is. That wind that blows where
it's listed. Bring him. Who are they? He knows. Verse 7, Every one that is called
by my name. Everybody has my name on them. I have created him for my glory. I'm not done yet. He's not done
yet. Look down at verse 12. I have declared and I have saved. I have shown that I'm God. Verse 13, Before the day was,
I am He. There's none that can deliver
out of my hand. I will work and He's going to
let me. That's your favorite chapter
now, isn't it? The will of God. That ought to
be the title of this message. That's what everything has over
it. The will of God. What does man put on his little
church houses? What does man put on his little
church houses? It's the highest form of blessing. This is not arguing doctrine
here. This was what God charged Satan
with in Isaiah 14, wasn't it? Huh? I said, How art thou fallen,
O Lucifer, son of the morning? Because you said, I will. Therefore, it's not man's will. This is not a doctrine to be
argued here. Everything is by the will of
God. Especially, if it can be said
especially, but especially salvation. My daughter didn't decide to
be my daughter. When my daughter came out of
the womb, she didn't say, hey, I've accepted you as my personal
dad. You can say that's, why are you making
fun, isn't that, isn't that ridiculous? You must be born from above,
Christ said, through old Nicodemus. He said, Are you a master in
Israel? You're a preacher, and you're standing up telling everybody
to accept their father? That's another gospel, a gospel which takes away God's
doorway. That's why God made the gospel,
for His doorway. That's why he created this world,
for his glory. That's why he saves every single
son of Adam he's determined to save, for his glory. The glory of his will, the glory
of his purpose, the glory of his power, the glory of his son,
the glory of his blood, the glory of his word, the glory of his
gospel, for his glory. And he said, I will not share
my glory. I don't care who it is. If it's
an angel, Lucifer, hit the dust! Especially if it's a worm called
man who's standing out in the yard shaking his little fist
up, you can't be God, we haven't left yet. Final word. Final answer. Huh? That's what this is all about.
To whom be glory forever and ever. What do you say to that? Amen. You know what you say when
you say amen? You're saying, That's the way
it is. Whenever you say amen, you are
agreeing with what has been said. Amen. It's a good word isn't
it? Amen. Amen. You're saying that's the
way it is and you're saying that's the way I like it. Not that it
matters whether I like it or not. But I'm sure glad I like
it. That's the way it is. Agree with
God. To whom be glory forever and
ever. You see, this world is not concerned
with the glory of God. They really don't. They really don't. And anybody with any eyes, spiritual
eyes, can see right through it all. Can't you see through this
facade of religion, This silly show of religion going on today. This clubhouse of religion, huh? What's it all about? Why all
the show? Why all the flesh? Why all the
entertainment? Why? The glory of God? I wonder if I can remember where
this verse is. Paul says, we have this treasure
in earthen vessels that the excellence of the glory. We have this treasure in earthen
vessels that the excellence of the glory might be of God and
not of men. In other words, did you get anything out of just
hearing God's glory? What did I do? I don't like really
to raise my voice at times. I really don't. But I tell you,
you can't help it. You can't help it. As a matter of fact, God told
Isaiah, He said, Get up on the couch. At times He told him to
shout. But I'm not doing that for effect. Our Lord cried with a loud voice
a zeal of his house that ate him up." What glory of God is a man standing
up with a Bible open, not putting on a show, and not a big elaborate
Hollywood setting all around him, and we create an atmosphere
by music being played softly and the choir swaying. and the
man moving to the sounds and entertaining everybody to get
this good feeling. You know, God must be in this.
It feels so good. You can fake that. People can
take a pill. You can go to do whatever you
want and fake feelings. But now when a man stands up
and he just opens a book and starts reading and declaring
who God is. Just reading the words. To whom
be glory." That's what it said about old
Ezra. Ezra, back in the beginning, a scribe, stood up on a poor
pit of wood, it said, for everybody to hear him. And it wasn't a big show, it
was just a man. And he opened the book, the God's
Word, and began to read it. And it says the people were just
And he cried, and then he said, Don't cry, laugh, and they laughed. They were sad, and they were
glad, and they were what from what? Just reading the Word,
just preaching the Word. The excellency of the power might
be of God, the glory. God's Word is His glory. God's
gospel is His glory. We can stop right there, can't
we? But you see, that's what this
book is about. That's what, not just this book,
not just Galatians. This book, from start to finish,
from Genesis to Revelation, is about the grace of God, the grace
of God, the sovereign, saving grace of God that is the gift
of God, eternal life. whereby God Almighty, before
the world began, determined, according to His will, according
to the will of God, to save some of these sons of Adam. He knows
who they are. He wrote their names in a book. And no one should have any problem
with that. No one should argue with that because none of them
were worth saving. None of them were worth saving.
Adam wasn't worth saving. And it's gotten worse and worse
than that, right? That's the reason man lives less
now. Man lived 900 and some years.
Now he's down to 70. Adam lived 970. Now he's down
to 70. Why? Because man's getting worse. And God is literally saying,
that's enough. Stop. Stop this iniquity. Kill him. And God determined to save some
of these worthless individuals. And He determined, and He's got
them all. He knows them. Put them in this
book, their names, and there are a lot of them. A lot
of them. We don't know who they are. I
don't know who they are. I don't know who they are. No
man knows who they are. Christ does. That's the reason
he said, go into all the world and preach the gospel. There's
no conflict between God's electing grace and the gospel being preached. No conflict whatsoever. Christ
said, go in all the gospel. This is how they're called. This
is how they're known as my sheep. They're going to hear my voice.
They're going to hear the gospel. They're going to hear. And what
is the gospel? Is it begging men to accept Jesus? No. That's
another gospel that Paul's going to tell us about. The gospel
starts with declaring who God is. The gospel starts by declaring
what salvation is, by grace, according to the will of God,
as Christ offered himself as a peace offer to God, put away
the sins of his people. Lamb's flame of the world came. It's all for the glory of God.
And all of God's chosen are going to hear that gospel, and they're
going to believe. They're going to come. They're going to confess
their sins. They're going to come. They're going to see their
need of Christ. It's not accepting Him. It's
just a bowing. It's a bowing to the truth. Amen, amen, amen. To everything
that said amen. Amen, to whom be glory forever
and ever. And like I said, now in the rest
of these verses, we're going to look at this other gospel
Paul talks about. There's another out there. It's
not the gospel. It's not the gospel. It's nothing
but trouble. And it'll dam you. All right,
let's stand and sing another hymn. What number, Brother John? Four forty nine. Four forty, that's a good one.
Four forty nine. Let's stand and sing all three
verses. Let's all sing. Four forty nine. King God be the glory, great
things He hath done, so that people know that He gave us His
Son, who yielded His life, and our souls were saved, and all
the world was saved, for our sake the way. Praise the Lamb, praise the Lamb,
let the earth hear His voice. Praise the Lamb, praise the Lamb,
let the people rejoice. O come, all ye faithful, to Jesus
Christ, and give Him all glory, praise the Lord. O perfect creation,
the purchase of life, to every believer the promise of God. The vilest offender, who truly
believes, that moment from Jesus the heart of peace. Praise the Lord, let the earth
hear His voice. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice. O come to the Father, to the
Son, and give Him all glory. Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ. Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done, and great are we searching through
Jesus and none. But pure and milder and greater
we'll be, our tender eyes brimful with Jesus we see. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear His voice. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice. Oh, come to the Father, to Jesus
the Son, and give Him all glory, great things He hath done. God Bless.
