Numbers chapter 14. Numbers chapter 14. Now you,
I hope, have fresh on your mind last Sunday morning's message
on the perilous time. This is a good follow-up message
to that. We closed that message
with this scripture, save yourselves from this untoward generation. John said, Who hath warned you to
flee from the wrath to come? Peter said, Judgment, time has
come, judgment must begin at the house of God. So this message
is full of warnings as well, but it's also full of promises. There's much good news in this
message. Good news, but there's some bad
news. There's much grace and mercy
in this message, but there's judgment. And this sword, God's sword,
He said, I wound and I healed. We need both, don't we? I want
it to do both. Whoever the Lord wounds, He heals. Children of Israel were about
to enter the promised land. That's the story here. They're
about to go in the promised land. And so are we. The time that this took place,
this story, was, I believe, about September. So right down to this
very month, at the same time. Twelve men were sent by Moses
into the land. promised land to buy it out to
bring back a report of the promised land to come back and tell everyone
what they saw twelve men look at verses and ten of them gave
a bad report look at verses chapter thirteen verses twenty eight
and twenty nine ten of them say that the people be strong that
dwell in the land. Cities are walled with great
barriers, very, very great. Moreover, we saw the children
of Anup there, those giants. The Amalekites dwell in the land
of the south. The Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites dwell
in the mountains. The Canaanites dwell by the sea,
by the coast of Jordan. These ten fellows gave a bad
report, and it shook the people up. But
now two men, two men, Joshua and Caleb, two men, they had
good news. And these two were not afraid.
You see, these ten men, they feared men rather than God, those
ten. But two men feared God and didn't
fear men. They believed God's word. God
told these people, told them all, that they were going to
possess this land. It's yours. I've given it to
you. Go. Go boldly. Go on in there. It's yours. And these two men
believed God's word. They believed God. They believed
God's promise that the land was theirs, and they were invincible
in it. The ten men said, there are too
many. Look at verses 32 and 33. They
said this, they brought up an evil report of the land. The
children of Israel say, And the land through which we have gone
to search it is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof. All
the people we saw are men of great stature. They are all bigger
and stronger than we are. We saw giants, sons of Anak,
which come of the giants. We were in our own sight. We're
grasshoppers. We're nothing. Look at all these
people, and they're giants, and we're no match for them. We're
nothing. We're just nobodies. But verse 30 now, it says, Caleb,
Caleb, whose name means faithful dog, faithful dog, See, all dogs
go in. All dogs go in with promised
land. Caleb, here's what his message was, verse 30, he stilled
the people before Moses. He stilled the people. Be still.
Don't worry. Be still. And he read on. He said, Let's go up at once
and possess it. We're able, well able to overcome
it. Overcome it. And you know, there's a time
to warn, a time to warn men, beware of dogs, beware of this
wicked world, for without, the scripture says, are sorcerers,
evils, dangers on every hand. Yes, they are. We warn men day
and night, Paul said. Yet, we preach with absolute
confidence. and assurance, be still and know
that our God is God. And though a wicked and perverse
world and great tribulation, storm of life, it's stormy. The older you get, the stormier
it's going to get. Ask Abraham. Yes. Well, the rockier the rock
is going to get. Now, the more sure that rock
is going to get. As a matter of fact, it's going to be the
only sure place to go. That's what the Lord does to
every ship. He just absolutely casts away
every safe-looking haven but one rock. The greater part of this world
lies in wickedness. Didn't John say that? We're of
God, and the whole world lies in wickedness. Didn't John say
that? Our Lord said that. They're not of the world, even
as I'm not of the world. They're not of the world. And
there's giants in the land. There's a giant called religion. And he has consumed the people
of this land, hasn't he? They're absolutely consumed with
this giant. And we're small, we're nothing,
aren't we? We're nothing in their sight.
Grasshopper. Yea, a cult. We've got to rock. By our God, we're able to overcome
this world. Yes, sir. Greater is He that
is in us than he that is in the world. Yes, sir. It's not an
idle boast. That's a standing on the promise,
that is. Christ with us, in us, in our
midst, is my hope of glory. You know that? I don't care how big this world,
this giant, gets. I ask again now, is there a Shadrach?
Is there a Meshach? Is there a bed to go in here?
I know everybody's bowing, I know that. How about you? What'd they say? Same thing Kayla
did. They were about to be tossed
in a harness. Y'all see that? They were literally,
buddy, I mean literally, this is no fairytale, they were literally
going to be thrown in fire. And what they said was, my God's able to deliver. He will deliver. Yes, and he
will. He's not only able, he will.
Why? There's somebody in that fire. Wait a moment. Oh, isn't that good news? It
is if you're going through a storm. There's somebody in the back
of the ship. And he's really not sleeping.
He can't slumber, of course. And it's truth be known, he's
at the head of the ship. He is the ship. Did you hear that? It will not
shipwreck. It's impossible! Impossible! Caleb said, Let's
go in! Let's go in! It's ours! Well, now chapter 14. Here's
where they are, OK? They're at a standstill. God's
going to bring all these people to a standstill. That's why everything
happens to us, it happens to us. All the trials and the storms
of this life, it brings us to despair. Of what? Of ourselves,
but not of Him. With man, it's impossible. Not with God. That's shut right. All right? Let's read the first
four verses. And all the congregation lifted
up their voice and cried, and the people wept that night, all
night long they wept. And all the children of Israel
murmured against Moses, against Aaron. The whole congregation
said unto them, Would God we died in the land of Egypt, would
God we died in the wilderness, we just wish we'd have died in
the wilderness, would we wish we'd have died in Egypt, wish
we'd have never come out. Verse 3. Why has the Lord brought
us into this land to fall by the sword? Why is all this coming
on up? Our wives and our children should
be appraised. Why did my daughter have to go through this? Wouldn't it be better to go back
and have to go through all this? That's what they were saying.
And verse 4, man, they got bent out of shape bad. Unbelief just
set in now. Verse 4 says, Let's go back.
Let's make us a captain. Let's go back to Egypt. Now, doesn't this remind you
of when our Lord, near the close, where it said after that, you
know, they said, These are hard sayings. And from that time forward,
many went back and walked no more with Him. And you remember,
twelve disciples, He said, Do you want to? Well, the children of Israel,
that's where they were, okay? Will you also go away? You know,
now wait a minute, now think about this. If you read this
story, if you read Exodus through the end, Deuteronomy, they keep bringing Egypt up, don't they? They keep bringing
it up. They keep saying, let's just
go back to Egypt. That's a great revelation
right there, isn't it? They keep talking about it. It
must still be in their heart. Hebrews 11, right after the chapter
we just read, that weighty chapter, it said that if they'd have been
mindful of the country they came from, they'd have had opportunity
to go back. That is, they'd have thought about returning if they'd
have been mindful of it. But no, they weren't even mindful
of it. Because they that say such things declare that they
seek a better country. Go back, Peter, boys. Will you also go away? Peter, with all his sin and,
you know, Weakness and always or no. Where would we go? Why would
we want to do that? You have the words of life. What
are we going to go back to? Caleb could have said that old
faithful dog, well, I go back to my vomit. The dog returning to its vomit,
the proverb said, the sow that was washed to wallow back in
the mire again, I kind of like being clean. If he changes an old sow's nature,
he kind of likes to be cleaned up. If he changes an old dog's
nature, he kind of likes his table food. Right? Go back to that old dry
food. The prodigal came to himself,
didn't he? He said, I don't like these husks. You see, he did
go back, didn't he? He went back in danger. I don't
like this. He came back with his tail between
his legs, but, buddy, he came back, and what happened? Father
received him. There's plenty of redemption.
With him, there's plenty of redemption. He takes every prodigal. He takes
them right back. I mean, right? It doesn't matter how deep in
the gutter they are. He reaches way down. It doesn't matter how bad that
apple is. It stinks. Lord, he's stinking. Isn't that good news? Huh? Sure
is. Well, these people were ready
to halt. They were wavering. And you know, the he that wavereth,
remember James said, he that wavereth is like a ship tossed. Well, look at verses 5 and 6.
They were ready to go back. And Moses and Aaron, Moses, you
know, was the most meek, the meekest man on earth. He got mad. Yeah, in private
he got mad. And a couple of times outwardly,
he did. One time, he smoked the rocks.
He got mad. Remember? That's when God smoked
him. But Moses was meek. And what
did he do? In verse 5, it says, he fell
on his face. Why? I know he considered his
own self the pit from which he was digging.
I know he considered Why me? What do I have that I
have not received? Who maketh me to differ? They all want to go back. Well,
I don't want to. Who maketh me to differ? And
Moses and Aaron fell on their face. But look at verse 6, Joshua.
Ah, boy, here comes Joshua. Here comes Joshua. Now, people,
this is the Old Testament name for Jesus. It means Savior. It means God our Savior. Joshua,
the son of Nun. Caleb, son of Jephunneh, which
were of them that searched the land. They ripped their clothes
too. Didn't you all hear us? Why won't you listen? That's
what they've been saying. Why won't you hear me? You ever want to just, you know,
you get aggravated, you want to hit the wall or tear something? It's what this is a sign of. Don't you tap that on the ground?
Huh? Why won't you hear me? They said. Read on. And they
spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying,
The land which we pass through to search it, is an exceeding
good land. It's a good land that a half
has never been told. We've been preaching now for
how many years about this good land? We haven't, Peter said,
followed cunningly devised fables. We were eyewitnesses. Paul came
back and said, Hey, I knew a man Careful not to boast, it was
him. He said, I knew a man who went to the heavens of heavens
and heard things, you wish won't believe, I told you. God already
said that. He said, I'm going to do a work
in your day that you won't believe, though somebody told you. It's
so good, it's too good to be true, you'll think. But it's
true. Every word of it is true. from a God who cannot, who will
not, who never has, who never will, lie. Every word of people,
everything in this world is false. That which is seen is temporal. That which is not seen is eternal.
Who said that? God said that. Jonah 2 verse
8 says, They that observe lying vanities. This whole world is a lie. Solomon said, vanity of vanities,
all flesh is vanity. You're looking for happiness
somewhere. You won't find it here. It's not to be found. Solomon
said that. I've tried it all. I've had three
thousand wives. I've had mansions to the sky. I've had a hundred thousand horses. I've had this and that. It won't
satisfy. Vanity of vanity, he that's looking
for vanities, he's observing lying vanities. And you're forsaken
your mercy. There's no man out there that's
going to give you more pleasure. There's no woman out there that's
going to give you more pleasure. There's no house, there's no
nothing that's going to satisfy. It's going to die, it's going
to die, it's going to die right before your eyes, and you'll
know more heartache than you ever knew joy. Really, as much joy as these
children bring us and our mate may bring us, we're going to
end up knowing more grief as we put their bodies in a box
than we ever knew joy. You think, this is the happiest
day of my life, and you get married only to see that person leave.
You say, I wish I'd never come to that day. They that observe
lying vanities, he said, forsake their own mercy. Joshua says
to us, the land that I've been in, I go to prepare a place for
you. Our Lord says, I go to prepare
a place for you. If it were not so, I would have
told you. It's true every word that he
says of it. There's a land that is fairer
than day. And by faith I can see it afar,
for my father waits over the way. He's prepared me a dwelling
place there, in the sweet Ba-Ba." He had me to patience. Just wait. Just wait. It's almost over. Now that, to the believer, is
good news, but to those who have not closed with Christ, let me
tell you, it's almost over. These people, look at it, let's
read it with verse eight, look at this. I don't want to leave
out any of it. Verse 8, the land is exceeding
good land. It's a good land. I tell you, the misery in this
life just about wipes out all the good, doesn't it? Those of
you who've had some, you realize the misery in this life almost
completely erases all the good. Until you reach the point where
about all you can find good is just right here. Ask Adam. He'll tell you. When he walked out that door
and saw his son laying there with his head bashed out, his
brain, he said, God, tell me about that
woman's sleep. Would you? Would you tell me
one more time how we're going to get out of this mess? When? Adam had been out of that
garden for six months, and he said, How long, O Lord? How long? Didn't he say? I guarantee you
he did. Went out there and saw his son brutally killed. Hadn't been out of that. He'd
gone out there to live 900 and some years, 970 years altogether. And Adam said, 930. And I know
he said, Lord, how long? When you coming back? And that's
when, you know, Eve, when she had her first child, Rebecca,
when Eve had her first child, she said, He's here. He's here. The Christ is here. No, not yet. Got a long time to go. But not
for us people. Joe, 60 some years old. About over, buddy. It's about
over. It really is. It really is. It really is. Now verse 8 says,
Now if the Lord delight in us, look at this. Now who's talking
here? Who's talking, John Davis, verse 8? Joshua's talking. And Joshua says, Now if the Lord
delight in us, he'll bring us into the land, and he'll give
it to us. And you know we haven't done
anything to deserve it or earn it. He'll give it to us. If He
delights in us, He'll give it to us. "...and land that floweth
with milk and honey." And this is what my Joshua says. My intercessor,
my covenant head, my Savior, He says, if God delights in me
and you're in me, if God accepts me, then He accepts us. And we're accepted in the blood
and he'll give us some milk. Right? We're going in. The land
that flows with milk. You like milk? You like milk? Roberta? How old
are you? Pretty old. You still like milk? I don't think I'll ever get tired
of milk. Go through a gallon about every other day. You may say, well you're going
to die of that stuff. You're right. Honey? Anybody like honey? I
like it too. Going to the land with milk in
it. Better yet, you like honey out
of the rock? The milk of the word? Get the milk of the word,
John Bates. You find it to be milk indeed. Those little young
horses of mine, they're getting One of Molly's babies, he's getting
up there now. He lumbers along. I want a drink. You know, he doesn't need any
more milk. Boy, he loves it. Come on, Mom, I'm ready. He loves
that stuff. And she delights to give it to
him. Milk. Milk. Love it. I love the milk of God
the Father. Don't you? Every bit of it. I'll take the
bitter with the sweet, too. Sure will. I need it. I need
it. Read on. He says in verse 9,
only rebel not. Don't rebel against the Lord. Don't rebel against the Lord. What is it to rebel against the
Lord? To not believe. Unbelief. You see, all manner
of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven." Didn't Christ say
that? Unbelief. Why did not the children
of Israel go in? Unbelief. Unbelief. Well, verse 9, don't rebel, believe. Christ said, He that is of God,
heareth God's word, and ye are my disciples indeed, if ye do
what I say. Fear not, he said, for ye don't.
Verse 9, Neither fear ye the people of the land, nor fear
man, nor fear the world. He said, They're bread for us.
They're bread for us. Now, this is still my Joshua
speaking here. They're bread for us. I'm going
to eat them up. And, buddy, he did, Joe. The
old Joshua went in, ate them up. My captain, you know, your
salvation is as sure as your captain. ships, as good as the
captain. If you've got a good captain,
it's going to reach the shore. If you've got a good captain,
it's going to defeat all your enemies, right? I ain't talking about stonewall. I ain't talking about a rock.
The captain of my salvation, he says, that bread for me, who
is he that overcometh the world? Bread for me, Christ said. He's
able to subdue all things under His feet, and read on. He says,
their defense is departed from them. They don't have a defense.
Their rock's not like our rock. They're going to flee to a rock
and find that it's solid. It's not a rock. The Lord's with
us. Fear them not. Romans 8.31. Huh?
Can you quote that? Sure you can. God be for us. We don't first hand know this
is unbelievable. It's exactly what this is and
believable first hand the congregation says. for all the children of Israel,
stoned them. And doesn't this remind you of
when the Lord Jesus Christ, those words before the cross, from
John 13 to John 16 and his wonderful prayer, and John 17, right after
that, he said those wonderful words, I go to prepare a place
for you. They're bread for me. Now is the God of this world
cast out. I've kept them." And then right
after that, they took them and nailed them to a cross, and every
one of them to it. But their glory appeared in the
tabernacle. Did you see that? Huh? What glory
appeared in the tabernacle? Huh? Well, everybody, well, the
Word of God is of no effect there. Well, he trusted that he was
the Messiah. All these things he said must not be true. You
forgot the one thing he did say when he said, Let it sink down
into your ears. The Son of Man must suffer many things, but
he's going to rise the third day. They're bread for me, and
I'm bread for you. The power of God unto salvation.
The gospel is going to go forward. It's going to go out. Glory is
going to appear in the church, isn't it? The tabernacle. In
spite of unbelief, in spite of all this unbelief, In spite of
all these Jews out here that claim they're believers, in spite
of that, there's some people going to go in to the Promised
Land, buddy. They're going to go in. Later
on, if you'd asked old Caleb, was it true? Was Joshua telling
the truth? Old Caleb said, you better believe
it, as he ate one big grape. The grapes of Eschol took two
men to carry one bunch. I thought my grapes were something
else. Well, look at verse eleven and
twelve. The Lord said unto Moses, How long will his people provoke
me? How long? Now the Lord says, How long will
it be? How long will it be ere they believe me? All the signs
which I have showed them among them, everything I have done
for them, after all of this, they still don't believe me. Look what he said, verse twelve,
I will smite them with the pestilence, disinherit Be, Moses, I'm going
to make you a greater nation and mightier than they. Moses. And now Moses becomes an intercessor. Moses becomes the only mediator
between these unbelieving Jews and God. Only one. Only one God's going to hear.
There's only one he would ever hear back then, wasn't there,
John? And so Moses becomes the one mediated between God and
men. Look at verse fourteen. He says
in verse thirteen, Moses said unto the Lord, the Egyptians,
they'll hear it, they brought, when you brought
up this people in thy might from among them, you brought them
up here. Why you brought them up here? You taught them, you
led them, you fed them. were merciful to them and gracious
to them and brought them out with a high hand. And Egypt is
going to hear about this. If they get all the way to the
promised land and don't go in, Egypt is going to hear about
this. And they're going to tell it to everybody that they've
heard that thou, verse 14, the Lord, that art among this people,
that thou, the Lord, that has seen face to face the clouds
standing over them, that go up before them by daytime and a
pillar of a cloud, These people that have seen the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus,
this cloud that's been a darkness to the Egyptians but light to
them, if they don't go in, why, the world's going to say, you
weren't able. See that? Verse 15, if you kill
all the people as one man, if you kill all, Then the nations
which have heard the fame of you will say," verse 16, "'Lord
was not able to bring his people into the land which he swore
unto them, therefore it slain them in the wilderness.'" They're
going to say, You're not able. If it's not once in grace, always
in grace, they're going to say, You're not able. So look at what Moses said. the
mediator, the intercessor. He says in verse seventeen, Now
I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according
as thou hast spoken your word, the word of his power, the gospel
which is the power of God, and let it be great. Save by your mighty power. Keep
by your mighty power. Bring that particle back. Just
like you said, verse 18, the Lord's long-suffering of great
mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, by no means clearing
the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
of the third and fourth generation. Pardon thy beseech the iniquity
of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy as
you've forgiven this people from Egypt from when this thing started
until now. Would you forgive them again?
Please pardon them. Oh, this sounds like my great
high priest talking here. my intercessor, or my mediator,
who hung while he was hanging on that cross, while the people
had stones in their hands, my high priest says, Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they did." So what does the Lord
say? Look at verse twenty. The Lord
said, I have, I have, pardon me, according
to thy word." The Father glorified that man. Some
said it thundered. But no, he just said, I have.
I have, and will glorify it again. I don't think God's through with
this congregation. I think he's through with some
people. It's like bees. But I don't think he's through
safely. The gospel is still here. I just choose to believe that
he's going to, the power is going to be seen again. Now look, I said that he was
through with these people. He was. Look at these verses in closing. God pardoned, didn't he? He pardoned.
But Stan, he didn't pardon them all. Didn't he say that? Moses said,
Lord, if you kill them all. But he didn't. He didn't kill
them all. He killed most of them, though. Look at verse 21. It says, As
truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory
of the Lord. But because all those men which have seen my
glory and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness,
have tempted me now these ten times, and not hearken to my
voice, surely they shall not see the Lamb." They're not going anywhere. But, verse twenty-four, look
at this. hateful dog, all dogs go to heaven. My servant Caleb, now look at
this, because he had another spirit with him. You see, there's
therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
To those that have a mediator like Joshua, like Moses, better
yet, our Lord Jesus Christ, there's therefore now no condemnation
to them. Caleb was a sinner, wasn't he?
sure he was, who walked not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. These people grieved the Spirit
of God. He's constant murmurers and complainers. What is murmuring
and complaining? I believe it. Why didn't the
children of Israel go in? Murmuring and complaining. Caleb
was going through the very same thing that they were going through,
wasn't he? Joshua was going through the
very same thing. They were all going through the same thing.
And yet Caleb said, Hey, let's go on in. Hey, let's go in. But look how bad things are.
Don't worry about that. We're going in. It's all right. What man, Caleb, who do you think
you are? Nothin'! Dog! But there's the master. He's leadin'. Joshua's leadin'. And with Joshua leadin', we can't
help but take the city. Like they said about David, you
know, David, he can't come in. You remember that? People were
in the city there and said, all walled up and said, David came
to conquer the city and they said, ha, ha, ha, he can't come
in. The very next line says, David went in. He can't, he can't, he did. He
did. Oh boy. But because of all these
murmurs and complainers that are spoiling, that are bringing
this bad news, now those ten men, remember those ten men?
Look down at verse thirty-six, The men which Moses sent in to
search the land, who returned, made all the congregation to
murmur against them, those men, verse thirty-seven, died by the
plague. And do you know that only, and
look at verse twenty-nine, the Lord said this to all those unbelievers
and murmurers and complainers who wanted to go back to Egypt.
Verse twenty-nine, He said, Your carcasses shall fall in the wilderness. Everybody from 20 years old up. Everybody from 20 up. And only two went in over 20. Two were the Spirit of God, Joshua
and Caleb. And the rest of them, what were
the rest of them? They were 19 years old and younger. What does
that make them? The children of Israel went into
the promised land. The children of Israel went into
the promised land, and our Lord said, except you be converted
and become as little children, you will not enter in. If you
don't receive the Word as a little child, absolutely trustworthy,
quit your murmuring and complaining. Start trusting in God, and you're
not going in. Now that's, we're on the threshold. Okay,
children? My little children, of whom I
travail and birthed, if Christ be for me, we're on the threshold. And I fear, lest Satan, in his
subtlety, as he beguiled Eve, should beguile you from the simplicity
that's in Christ, that it's Christ, Christ, Christ. that Satan should
beguile you into thinking that there's something in this world
that's really wonderful to have. Manatees, manatees. Listen to
Young Solomon. Manatees, manatees. He won't
satisfy. No man, no woman, no thing, no
place will satisfy. Only Christ. And we're at the
threshold. He's at the door. We're going
in. It's an exceedingly good land.
full of milk and honey. Sammy, Caleb, Prince. You coming? It's ours. The Lord delighted
us. We're accepted in the beloved.
She's ours, buddy. How about it? We're going in. Getting real
close. I don't know why the Lord, well
I do know why the Lord, all of this that we've been studying
is so, just so all of a sudden so condensed. You hear the radio
message this morning? Anybody? Two thousand white suitcases
will come and go. Guaranteed. You have a preacher? No man, none. Guaranteed. Because scoffers are going to
be able to scoff. The fact is, it was 2000 about
four or five years ago. Right, Ed? It is right now the
year about 2004 or 5. Yes, it is. It's already coming,
though. And they've been scoffing every
since. And they'll scoff even louder. See, God's going to,
one more time, He's going to scoff even louder. A little while,
we'll go by then. Maybe. Maybe. But He's coming. Yes, He is. Because He said, Heaven and Earth
are going to pass away. But not one word on that will
pass away. Not one word. He's coming. He's coming for
His people. And they're all going to be on
a boat. They're all going to be on a boat together. Just like
this. I barely believe that God's people,
like the disciples of old, remember when they were all gathered together?
watching him ascend, I believe God's people are going to be
gathered together. Sunday, Wednesday, I don't know when, but they're
going to be gathered together, and he's going to descend. And
we're going to meet him in the air. And so shall we ever live
with the Lord. And then there'll be hell on
earth. So, come go with us. We'll do
you good. Would you? Any youngsters out
there? Come go with us. We'll do you
good. The land's full of milk and honey. It's a bitter land. You're getting ready to experience
real bitterness. There's always going to be some good times,
but it's bitter or sweet. In the devil, it's bitter or
sweet. Will you come, go, marry a man
you've never seen? Huh? Will you come, go, and marry
a man you've never seen? Will you go to a land you've
never seen? You see, my master's given his son everything. And he's going to have a bride,
and he sent me to get her. Would you come go with me and marry
him? He's wonderful. He's old enough
for that. Would you? Would you? Say, I
do. Come on. Say, I do. Say it, Jerry. Say it, Jerry. I do. All right. I found a pair of Abraham's. I sure did. Joe, you got a song? 388. Three hundred eighty-eight. Have thine own way. This is good.
Let's stand and sing. Number three eighty-eight. Sing
the first and the last verses. First and the fourth. Have thine
own way. Have thy own way, Lord, have
thy own way. I am the clay. Hold me and make me after thy
will. I am waiting, yielded and still. Have thine own way, Lord, have
thine own way. Oh Lord, my being, absolute way. Here without hearing, till all
shall see, Thou'st only always living in me. Thank you and you.
