Book of Job, immediately before
the book of Psalms, find the book of Job. Job chapter 19. Read with me Job 19 verses 23
through 27. Oh, that my words were now written They are, Job, they are. Oh, that they were printed in
a book, that they were graven with an
iron pen and laid in the rock forever. They are, Job, they
are. For I know my Redeemer lives. And he shall stand at the latter
day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I
shall see for myself. Mine eyes shall behold, not another. Though my reigns be consumed
within. I want to think about this morning. Something that very few people
want to think about. I want to talk about something
that no one seems to want to talk about. But it is the most
important. and relevant thing. That we could. Think about. Every day and every
hour of our life. I'm talking about dying. Talking
about death. Something that every person in
this room. Is going to face. Something that everyone in here,
young and old, will go through. We're going to die. Our parents are going to die.
Some of our parents already have. A very real thing, wasn't it? Our parents are going to die.
Our brothers and sisters are going to die. Our husbands and
wives are going to die. Our children are going to die. We are going to die. For some of us it will be soon. It will probably be one of our
older people, persons, somebody like He's over seventy. That's all
God's promised you, Violet. You're living on borrowed time. Maybe one of our weak and sickly
ones, Brother William, you don't mind me saying this, you had
a massive heart attack, haven't you? You're not the man, you're
weak in the flesh. It probably will be somebody
like that. Right? Let's face it. Some soon, but then again, it
may be someone we don't expect. Told you about my wife's mother
who. They discovered cancer in her.
Says the worst case of liver cancer they've seen or eat liver
was totally gone and nothing they could do nothing. They gave
her a shorter period of time to live. They put her on chemotherapy
and she lived two years, did she, from the time they diagnosed
that. In the meantime, seven people
died before she did in that congregation, some very unexpectedly, most. So it could be Someone we don't
expect it could be one of our children. Could be. I was remarking the
other day how that we haven't had a death yet in our church
family since I've been here five years. Every time the phone rings,
especially in the morning or at night. I think who died. I do. But some it will be later. Some
it'll be soon. Very soon. Think of Virgie. How
much longer? Maybe Virgie, maybe Violet, maybe
William, maybe anyone. But for all of us, it's inevitable,
isn't it? It's inevitable. Why don't we like to face it?
Why don't we want to talk about Isn't it the most important thing
that we could think about? Is it something taxes aren't
certain? Death sure is. Taxes will cease,
death will give us up. Death. That's why God's word,
we read it there in Deuteronomy 32, 29. But he said, oh, that
they were wise. And that they understood this.
That they would consider their latter end. And plan for it. I heard an illustration one time
of a. A king. Who had a court jester. He used
to call them fools. A comedian. He used to call them
fools. We call them celebrities now
though. We make them millionaires. They used to call them fools.
Oh, you fool. Act like a fool. Make me laugh.
And this fool would do that before the king. He was a fool. He wore the clothing of a fool,
the hat of a fool. And one day the king was dying,
and this old fool came into the king on his deathbed, and he
said, My king, I've heard that you're going on a long journey.
The king said, Yes, I am. The man said, Well, where are
you going? King says, I don't know. The old fool said, Have you made
any preparations for this journey? The king, the wise king said,
No, I haven't. And the fool took his hat off.
And put it on the head of the king and said, Thou hast played
the fool more than I. You're going on a long journey
from which you'll never return. You don't know where. You've
made no preparations for it. Thou art the fool. You know, I know we sadden at
the thought of losing someone we love. It saddens us. It grieves
us. Just the mere thought of losing someone we love, someone
we've spent so much time with, someone that we grow attached
to, but it's reality. Right. And we need to prepare for it. You know, doesn't this make my
job of infinite importance? I thought about that. People
call for preachers when it's too late, you know, you know,
people call for preachers when it's too late and somebody dies,
that's when they call for, you know, when you need me. If I
can say that, use that, it's now you're living. It's prepared
you for when you get ready to die. You'll make preparations
for this long journey from which you'll not return. So you'll
know where you're going and know who you're going with. Doesn't
that make my job mighty important, most important job on the earth?
Yes, it is. Job fourteen, death is certain. Look at Job fourteen. Over Job
fourteen, death is certain. And as far as this life goes,
this life, this material existence, it's final. It's final. Whoever dies, the day that Barbara
Ross dies, you'll never see her on this earth again. You'll never
hear her sweet voice. You'll never see her lovely face.
You'll never see that blonde head in this congregation again. Never. She's gone. Spinal. Right? Look at Job 14. Job 14, verse 7. There's hope
of a tree if you cut it down, that it will sprout again, that
the tender branch thereof will not cease, that the root thereof
wax old in the earth. Though the root thereof wax old
in the earth, and the stalk thereof die in the ground, yet through
the scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs like a
plant. Some of you men that have cut
trees down on your property, and you think you killed it,
don't you? Cut her down, whack it down.
And there's even times we've tried to destroy the stump, put
all sorts of remedies, home remedies in it, buttermilk. You know that
buttermilk? is a home remedy to rock tree stump. You know
that. Sometimes it doesn't work, though, does it? Because there's
a seed of life in that tree. There's a root of life in it,
and it'll sprout. Some of them like old locusts.
Man, you can't get rid of those things. They sprout up everywhere,
don't they? That's a tree, though. What about
a man? Look what he said. What of man? Verse ten. and wasteth
away. A man giveth up the ghost, and
where is he? He's gone from here. You'll never
see him again, that's for sure. You'll never see him again. Reincarnation
is ridiculous. You'll never see him again on
this planet. As the waters fail from the sea
and the flood decayeth, and drive up so man life down and rise
if not to the heavens be no more they shall not awake or be raised
out of their sleep. You dig up the body of a man.
Who's been dead just a short time and you'll find him beyond
recognition. His body will waste away to just
pile of bones, and eventually those bones will go back to dust,
won't they? Dust. That's what God made us
from, and that's what the Scriptures say we're going to return to.
Everyone of dust. Dust and ashes. Look over at
Ecclesiastes chapter 12. Right after the book of Proverbs,
you'll find the book of Ecclesiastes, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes,
look at chapter twelve, Ecclesiastes. In everything around us, there's
a reminder of death, isn't it? Everything reminds us of death. All about us is either decaying
or dying or dead already, particularly at this time of And our bodies are no different.
Our bodies are telling us one thing. They're screaming to us. They're crying out to us. You're
dying. You're dying. And Henry, we do with these bodies
that are practically dead, we do with them what we do to corpses
when we go to bury them, don't we? Try to make them look alive. Do our best. to make them look
alive, to rejuvenate them. You can't do it. They're dying. You cannot replenish them. They're
dying. Ecclesiastes 12 says this, you
young people, remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.
Why? Well, because you're going to
be old real soon. The evil day you think you know
young people think I don't want to grow old. Except to be sixteen. We sure want to be sixteen. But
then when we're sixteen we'll be eighteen. Eighteen twenty
one but not much further than that. Don't want to grow old
do we? You can't stop it. Twenty years ago. Twenty years pass like... For
some of you, forty. Some of you, fifty. Just... There's
a vapor in it. What is your life? Just a vapor.
It's gone. Too old. An old saying goes,
too old, too quick, too smart, too late. You know. We grow old
quickly. Young people, remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth, because the evil days are coming.
For these years draw nigh, when ye shall say, I have no pleasure
in them." Not the pleasure in some things that you used to
take pleasure in, is there, old people? While the sun, or the
light, or the moon, or the stars be not darkened, or the clouds
return after the rain, listen to this. Here's a description
of our bodies. The day when the keepers of the house shall tremble.
That's the arms. Some of you older folks, your
hand is not steady, is it? I'd ask one of these older people
to hold their hand out, he'd be like this. And you can't do what you used
to do, can you Henry? You can't do what your son David can do. You'd die. Strength is going
to sap, is leaving the old body. Tremble. The strong men shall
bow themselves. That's the legs. Bowlegged. Bow down. Not as strong. That's the first thing to go
in a man's strength. You know, his legs give way. He can't walk
the hills he used to walk. He can't plow like he used to
plow. He can't do the things he used to do. That's the first
thing to go. You see these men, older men, they look pretty good
from the waist up with skinny little legs. First thing to go. The legs, the bow of themselves. The grinders cease. You know
what that is, don't you? It's teeth. They're gone. They get soft, and are few. Those that look out of the windows
be darkened. There was a time he didn't need glasses, and there's
a time he need glasses, and there's a time he need bifocals, and
there's a time he need trifocals. There's a time he need... even
that won't do. It's not funny, it's death. You're
dying. Your eyesight's going until it'll
be no more. You won't see anything. There's
going to be a day when you're going to be laying in that casket
and your eyes are gone. Nothing. You could open the lids.
Nothing. The doors should be shut in the
streets. The mouth won't be heard of. loudly and quickly in the
streets. The sound of the grinding is
low. That's the teeth also. He shall rise up at the voice
of the bird, insomnia, hard to sleep. Don't sleep as long as,
you know, sleep is the sound of youth. You know how little
children, especially babies after they reach a certain age, can
sleep ten, twelve hours? Young people, teenagers can sure
sleep, can't they? Sleep their lives away. Four
hours, five hours. They wake up, fits and starts
all night long. Rise up at the voice of a bird.
Did you hear that? What was it? A grasshopper. The daughters of music shall
be brought low. Used to have such a lovely voice. And it's
creaking and croaking now. It's dying. You're dying. Also,
when they shall be afraid of that which is high and fierce,
young men Oh, he climbed the highest mountain. Now stepping
off the curb is a frightful thing. Going downstairs, oh, I might
fall and break my hip. Right? It's sad. Bones are brittle. He's dying. He's dying. The almond
tree shall flourish. White hair. The blooming of an
almond tree is white. The hair turns white or turns
blue. The grasshopper shall be a burden. Desire shall fail. Things you used to—that inner
desire and the burnings of life and vitality that used to be
in there, you'd think you'd never get rid of them, and you'd hope
they would diminish a little bit. Gone now. Gone completely. Because man goeth to his long
home. And the mourners are going to
go about the streets. The silver cord will be loose. That's the
tongue. It's going to be loose someday. It's never going to
be heard from again. The tongue will never be heard from again.
My voice, your voice, will never be heard from again. The golden
bowl will be broken. That's the brain. It will not
function anymore. Coming of time. The pitcher will
be broken at the fountain, the wheel at the cistern. That's
the heart. It will quit beating. Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was, and here, if a man die, shall he live again?
Here's the answer. But the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it. When God made man, he says he
made him out of the dust of the earth. He took him out of nothing. and made a body, and he said,
when it dies, it's going back to nothing. It's just going to
blend with the rest of the dirt. But what about the soul? God
said he created man out of the dust, and then he breathed into
him, and man became a living soul. And the soul goes on. The soul goes on. Now back to
Job 19. This body is a mere earthen vessel. Clay. Don't put too much into
it. Some of you spent a lot more
than you're going to get out of it. Don't put too much into
it. Don't worry too much about it.
It's clay. It's dust. But you are not your body. You
are a living soul. Your soul is a living thing. And it will go back to the God
who made it, in whom we live and move and have our being,
the God who is life. The soul goes on. Where? Where does the soul go to? Where
is your soul going to go to? Listen to the words of a man,
in Matthew 25, he said, The wicked shall go away unto everlasting
punishment, but the righteous unto life eternal. to life eternal. Old-fashioned
as it may be, the Scriptures talk about a place of endless
torment and misery, a place called hell. And some go to a life of that
endless torment and misery. And some go to a endless life
of bliss and happiness. Who said that? Who said that? Plato? Aristotle? Confucius? Mohammed? Who said that? The wicked shall
go to everlasting punishment, but the righteous to life everlasting,
eternal life. Who said that? Let's look at
it. Job nineteen, Job said in verse
twenty-five, I know my Redeemer liveth, and he shall stand at
the latter day upon the earth. That's who said that. Several thousand years before
Job, or before this one stood, Job made this extraordinary statement. Several thousand years after
Job said this, someone extraordinary walked this planet, someone supernatural. Now, the
truth is stranger than fiction, more mysterious, more glorious. Someone supernatural, not natural
at all. Someone infinitely glorious,
someone omnipotent, someone omniscient, all-powerful, all-knowing, someone
omnipresent everywhere at the same time. A spirit, a spirit from the spirit world
assumed a body. and walked on this planet. The book of Job, one of the oldest
recorded books, before the book of Moses. The book of Job is
recorded, and he prophesies of this coming one, and so do all
the rest of the books in this big book. Many others after Job
foretold the coming of this person. He's called by many names. Listen. This one is called by many names.
He's called the I Am. He's called the Word. He's called
the Way, the Truth, the Life, the Righteous Judge, the Savior,
the Holy One, the Lights, the Bright and Morning Star. the
Son of Righteousness, the Chief Shepherd, the Horn of Salvation. Listen to me now. The Headstone,
the Chief Cornerstone. You've got to know one of these
names, people. The Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Anything ring a bell here? The Root of David. The Advocate. the Shepherd, the Bishop of Saul,
the Lamb of God, the Alpha and Omega, the Author and the Finisher,
the Governor, the Son of God, the Wonderful Counselor, the
Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the
Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, Jesus Christ. Stood on planet Earth. And Job calls him. And you must
know this name. My Redeemer. All of these things, these names. And more. tell us about this
person. All written in a book which has
been supernaturally preserved down through the years, thousands
of years this book has been preserved. The facts concerning this man's
birth, his life, The words he spoke, the works that he did, are undeniable. The fact that he walked this
planet, the claims he made, are written even by pagan historians
who despised him but yet wrote it. They heard him. They saw
him. His supernatural miraculous works
were seen by thousands of people, and they were not cunningly devised
fables. Thousands of people saw him walk
this earth and perform miracles after miracles. Now, this is
not said about any human being to ever walk this earth. His
infinitely wise words were heard by even more thousands of people. His mysterious death was witnessed
by thousands. Thousands of people saw him die,
actually die. They saw Roman soldiers nail
his hands and his feet to a tree after having gone hungry for
days, crush a crown of thorns on his head, beat him to an unrecognizable
pulp. till his body was drained of
its blood, and in six hours' time, he died. They saw him die, and a soldier
came along with a big, massive iron spear and ripped his guts
open. He was dead. He was dead. I mean dead. And they took him
down from that cross and wrapped him up, wrapped his mouth shut,
and put his body in a cave and rolled a stone over it, a cave
with no air passages, rolled a stone over it, and for three
days he was dead. Facts attest to that. But, thousands of people claim that
three days later He walked out of that grave. He came back from the dead. He came, he lived, he died, and
now he ever lives. And he has written in the final
chapter of this book, not Job, this book. He has written, Behold,
he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they who have pierced him
shall wail because of him." And he added this, I am he, I
am he, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He who was and which is to come,
the Almighty I am He, that liveth and was dead, and behold, I am
alive forevermore, and I have the keys of hell and death at
my side." Do you know him? Did any of these names ring a
bell? Hmm? I'm asking everybody. Says every eye shall see him
then. Thank you, Ed. And I'll see you. Most people, listen to me now,
most people, Scripture says, wide is that gate, broad is the
way that leads to destruction, and many, most people do not
know this one. And most people, listen to me, most people are going to be, what's the word I wrote down?
Utterly horrified at his coming. The scriptures talk about people's
hearts failing them. Crying rocks and hills fall on
them. I'm not trying to scare anybody.
I'm just saying he's coming. This one is coming. He says at
a time when you think not. A time when they say peace and
safety, sudden destruction. The world is now at this relative
peace and prosperity. Our nation is going through a
time of prosperity. Things are good. Our jobs are looking good.
Our houses are going up. Our family is growing up. Things
are all right, aren't they? He's coming. I don't know about you, but some
people, most people will absolutely be utterly horrified at his coming.
Some people, when he comes, some people go, my Lord, he's here. Oh, my God, he's here. That's
what people like to say now. Oh, my God. And they like, they're
going to say, oh, my God, he's here. They won't have to ask
who it is. Nobody's going to say, who's
that? Everybody's going to know him. Perfect enlightenment man. And most people say, oh my God. Right? But some people are going
to be happy beyond description. Infinitely, inexplicably happy. My Lord is here. Oh my God! He's here. This is our God and
we've waited on Him. Even so, come Lord Jesus. And that is only by His grace
that you know Him. Which group are you going to
be in? How do you know? And you know. We better. And you know. We're going to
know that we're going to know that we're going to know beyond
a shadow of a doubt whether we're in him or not. Being that. Job said, I know my redeemer. I know him and he's coming. He'll stand on your I'm going
to see him. I'm going to be glad to see him.
I'm going to be glad to see him. My Redeemer. My Redeemer. What a blessed name. My Redeemer.
Not my judge. My Redeemer. My Redeemer. Paul said, I know whom I have
believed. I know whom I have believed.
Isn't it? John said, we know. that we are
of God, we know that the Son of God has come and given us
an understanding that we may know him, and that he is true,
and that we are in him, even in his Son, Jesus Christ. This is eternal life, that they
might know thee, right? This is eternal life, and I ask
you, as I read those names to you, did any of them ring a bell? Any of them? Any of them? I know it did to some of you.
I saw a smile. So I took your head, but I'm asking everybody.
I'm asking everybody as if it were just you and me. The Word, the Way, the Truth,
the Life, the Righteous One, the Savior, the Holy One. These are all descriptions of
this person and what he did. The chief shepherd, the headstone,
the chief cornerstone, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the advocate. I like that one. The day spring,
the shepherd, the bishop of our soul, the Lamb of God. Behold,
he came, coming again. The Alpha and Omega, the author
and the finisher, the wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the
Prince of Peace, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings. Christ,
Christ. What about that term, Christ?
Does it roll off your tongue in sweetness? Christ, Christ. Do you understand these things? Do you understand these names?
Anything about them, just anything. Do you rejoice to hear them? If not, Well I've declared him, I've
declared him, all those names, I've preached the gospel and
just saying those names. Let me clarify, I've declared
him. Now let me clarify just a little
bit, very briefly, five minutes. Will you give me five minutes? We're going to die. We're going
to face this one. We're either going to die, he's
coming. Christ is coming. He's either
coming for you very soon, very shortly in death. You're either
going to die and you're going to go to meet him, or he's coming
and that's all she wrote on his plan. He's coming. We've got
to know him. We've got to know him. And bless
God, those that know him, because he knew them, foreknew them,
foreloved them. Do you know him? Well, here,
that's who he is. I've told you who he is. God
walked this planet. This is not a fictional story. I didn't make this up. I told
you many witnesses. If you believe the witness of
men, the witness of God is greater. But he walked this planet. One
walked on the planet. He came, and why he came was
to live as a holy man. He didn't have to, but he did.
He came down to live a life for some people, a holy life. that God Almighty would say.
God says everybody's come short of that holy life you've seen
come short of it that is angry with the wicked every day and
he hates all workers of the Nick that you. Are you working for
an equity if you live for God love for God love God all your
life live perfectly as God demands of you have you. Have you. Then God Almighty is going to
take it out of your skin or take it out on your substitute. And he came and lived that life
perfectly. It's more than doctrine. This
is who he is and what he did. He's called the righteous one,
Terry, the holy one of God. He came and lived that life.
Substitute, John, substitute. Came to live as my substitute.
Everything he did, God saw me doing it. And after his life
was over, 33 years, this is the mystery of it. He transferred
it all to my account. Father, accept him on the basis of what
I've done. And then he took my sin, my rebellion,
what's going to send me to hell, and put it on Christ. and hug
him on a tree, and you want to know what God thinks about you?
Look at Christ on Calvary's tree. You know of no value to God in
that respect. I don't care what these fellows
say in the newspaper. God doesn't need you. You want
to know what God thinks of us by nature? Look at that man hanging
on that tree. That's us. Is it not? Is that
not us? He became us. He took on himself
the likeness of sinful flesh. He became us. Rebellious sinner,
God hung him on a tree and mutilated him. Sin was found on him, Joe,
and God Almighty poured his wrath, his wrath on him and turned his
back on him. Said, I don't want anything to
do with you, you old sinner. Can't. That's me. And thank God all that wrath
was poured out on him, all of it, and there's none left. from
me. He bore my punishment, all of
it. And God's not angry with me anymore.
He loves me. Why? He spared not his own son. He poured out the wrath against
me on his son. And he loves me. He loves me. And he was buried. He went to
the tomb. They put his body in the ground,
where every one of our bodies is going to go. Put it in the
ground and covered it up. His body was lifeless, and they
covered it up where we're all going, but, oh, death, where
is thy sting? Huh? Oh, grave, where is thy
victory? Look yonder. He's coming out. Huh? He walked out. One old writer
said, death stung itself to death when it stung Christ. my substitute."
Terry, he went down in the grave, he said, that's where you're
going, Terry, in a few short years, maybe a month, maybe a
day, who knows? Down in the grass, where are you going? And he came
back out and said, it's all right in there. I've been there. I've been there. The sting of
death is sin. And if you don't have any sin,
you don't have to worry about death, do you? Huh? And the strength of
sin is the law. But you're not under the law.
You're under grace. He said, I'll receive you and
you go down in that great. Don't worry. I've been there.
He walked through the shadow. We go under the shadow of death,
but it's not alone. Alone. You got a wall that lonesome. It's not a lonesome valley. We're
under the shadow of death. In other words, it could. They
call it the grim reaper could strike us at any moment. True.
Who is the grim reaper, though? God says, I kill. I make a lie
of Deuteronomy 32, 39. I killed. The man has abounds
that are appointed unto him. He cannot pass. They're set by
God. And when it's time for us to die, God says, I brought it. And there's nothing to be afraid
of. I've been there. And I'm not there anymore, though.
And where I am, though, you may be also. And you're going to
like it. And you really ought to look
forward to it. And maybe that's the point of
my whole message. To get us all thinking about it. And to those
that are unsure, to get them to examine themselves, whether
or not they're in the faith. Know you're not your own selves.
Let Christ be in you, except you be reprobate. Don't care.
God's left you to yourself. Don't you care? Examine yourself.
But to those who do and care, I want to exhort you, hey, we're
going to die. Henry, you're going to die. Isn't that great? It's not going to be sad. Not for you. We'll be sad. You
know, that's the reason Christ said, let the dead bury the dead.
Henry won't care. He won't care if you put him
in a finest suit or put him in his birthday suit. He won't care. No remembrance. The former things
shall not be remembered, nor come to mind. Henry won't care.
He'll be so infinitely happy and glorious. Oh, death, where does that stay?
Who's going? Who's first? I'll go. I'll go. Can you say that? That's what
the Scripture said. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus. Do
you look forward to it? No. The only reason we don't
is at times we're normally not thinking on him. He'll keep us
in perfect peace of mind. And we love people here. We do.
There's nothing wrong with loving people here. There'd be something
wrong with you if you didn't. And Christ loved his people,
didn't he? Didn't he love his people? Never did he love his
disciples? He said, no, I'm leaving you.
And it saddens him for their sake. But he was going to his
father. Huh? He was going to his father. Paul, you know, they wept on
Paul's shoulder when they thought he was going. And it was a sad
time, but Paul said, I have a desire to depart and be with the Lord,
which is far better. But, you know, I love you. If
it's God's will for me to stay now, fine. I'll be happy here
and all. But boy, I'm looking forward
to going. And anybody that's not, really,
really now, come on. I have serious reservations as
to whether or not you know the one I've been talking about. Serious reservations. If you
don't look with joy and rejoicing and great expectation and longing
for this one, we say, John, we say we worship him, don't we?
We say we love him. We say he is all to us, don't
we? We come in here. That's what
this is all about, don't we? Worship Christ. Let's hear about Christ.
You want to see him? You want to see him? Huh? Joe, what song have you picked
out? You picked out a song yet? 127. 127. Hallelujah. What a Savior. My Redeemer. My
Redeemer. Joe said, I know Him. I know
Him, and He's going to stand on this earth. And Joe, He did.
Your words were written. And the Word was made flesh.
And he stood on this earth in the latter day, and Job's looking
at him right now. Job! Not another Job. And Job, you know what Job went
through? I'd like to remind us what Job went through. Nobody
here will ever go through what Job went through. He lost everybody. All of his children. Not one,
all of them. His wife forsook him. His wife
forsook him. He lost all of his earthly possessions. Have you ever had boils all over
your body? Sitting in a pile of dust, scraping them with a
piece of broken pottery? With no anesthesia? That was
Joe. Joe doesn't remember a thing
about that. He doesn't remember a thing about that. He's praising God for putting
him through whatever. Not everyone. Redeemed. Let's stand and sing a couple
of verses of this. Brother Joe, would you come up
and lead us, please? A couple of verses or three verses. How
about one, three, and five? One, three,
and five? All right. All right. Hallelujah, what a Savior. One,
three, and five verses. Then asked our old Father, they,
are the son of God who came through the sinner to reclaim, hallelujah,
the Savior. Guilty, vile, and deathless,
free from the slammer God was He. Lord, atonement in His name. Hallelujah! What a Savior! When he comes, our glorious King,
all his bransoms to bring, let us hear the songs we'll sing. Alleluia! What a Savior! Thank you in your distance. I'm.
