It's good to see you this morning,
and hope you had a good night's rest, and ready to worship today. Our first song is 141 out of
your hymnals. 141, then Brother Allen, where
is Allen? He's gonna come and read scripture,
and then he and Gail will present a special in music. And then
Brother Gary Shepard will preach the gospel to us. So I'm just
gonna, you know the schedule, so I'll just sit down now and
get out of the way. All right, 1, 4, 2, 1. Let's
stand and sing this together. See the man of sorrows now From
the fight return victorious Every knee to him shall bow Crown him,
crown him Crowns become the victor's crown. Crown the Savior, angels crown
Him. Rich the trophies Jesus brings. In the seat of power enthrone
Him While the vault of heaven rings Crown Him, crown Him crowned
the Savior King of kings. Sinners in division grounded,
mocking thus the Savior's claim. ? Saints and angels crowd around
him ? ? On his idol praise his name ? ? Crown him, crown him
? ? Spread abroad the victor's fame ? ? Hark, the herald angels
sing ? a a a Verse 27. Labor not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting
life. Which the Son of Man shall give
unto you, for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they
unto him, what shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God,
that you believe on him whom he hath sent. They said therefore
unto him, what sign showest thou then that we may see and believe
thee? What dost thou work? Our fathers
did eat manna in the wilderness, as it is written, he gave them
bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, verily,
verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from
heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth
life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord
evermore give us this bread. Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger, And he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But
I said unto you that ye also have seen me, and believe not.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me. And him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from
heaven not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the
Father's will which sent me. that of all that he hath given
me I should lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last
day. And this is the will of him that
sent me, that everyone that seeth the Son, and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last
day. The Jews then murmured at him,
because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
And they said, is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know, how is it then that he saith, I came down
from heaven? Jesus therefore answered and
said unto them, murmur not among yourselves, no man can come unto
me except the father which has sent me draw him, and I will
raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets,
and they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that
hath heard and hath learned of the Father cometh unto me." I'll
end our reading there. Our Father, Lord, we're so thankful that
we can come to you this morning and
call you our Father according to Your purpose, Lord. And according
to that which was procured for us by our Lord Jesus Christ in
all that He did in our name, in our room instead, as the substitute
of the whole body of the election of grace. Thank You, Father, that He established
and brought in everlasting righteousness And thank You, Father, that we
are holy in Your sight in His holiness alone. Lord, for Thou
only art holy. Our Father, we pray, Lord, for
a spirit of worship that we might have ears to hear, hearts to
understand, Lord, and eyes to see the things that You bring
before us. by the men who You've appointed
to preach the Gospel unto us this morning. How thankful we
are, Lord, for Your unspeakable kindness, Lord, in that You've spoke to
us. You spoke to us in the Old Testament,
Lord, through Your prophets and types and shadows. And then finally,
and ultimately, You spoke to us in your son. Lord, how unspeakable of what
wonderful grace and mercy. That you would even speak to
such as we are in ourselves. We ask Lord now that you bless
us. Feed your children. Give us of that water of life.
Let us drink freely Lord from that fountain. We pray, Lord,
you bless our sick, our brethren and our sisters in Christ who
have ailments of the flesh. And Lord, we pray for our fellowship
this day. Be with us and establish all
that's done here, we pray, Lord, in Christ's name. Amen. Jesus saw His church elected
and betrothed her as His own. She shall never be rejected but
be partner of His throne. How he loved her, how he loved
her long, Ere time or sin were known. Jesus saw His church when
falling into ruin and disgrace. When her state was most appalling,
stood assurity in her place. How He loved her, how He loved
her thus to magnify His grace. Jesus saw His church enslaved
in her guilt and far from God, but resolved she should be saved
and interposed His precious blood. How he loved her, how he loved
her, thus to suffer for her good. Jesus saw His church when straying,
Brought her back by sovereign grace. Now He sees her watching,
praying, Waiting to behold His face. Still He loves her, still
He loves her, And in heaven prepares her place. Still He loves her,
still He loves her, And in heaven prepares her place. I hadn't heard that hymn before,
but that's a keeper. That's a good one. If you would turn with me in
your Bibles to the book of Ephesians. Ephesians chapter 2. I've entitled this message, Sitting Pretty. People used to refer to folks
who were comfortable in their lives and well-financed and well-fed and
well-clothed and well-established as Sitting pretty. Well, that's
my message today. Look with me at the fourth verse. When he describes the awful state of God's people by nature, their
condition, the course that they took, the natural desires of
their flesh, and he reminds them that they were by nature children
of wrath, even as others. He says that's what they were
by nature. But here he's talking about the
grace of God and he's talking to those who are the children
of God by grace. Their being by nature the children
of wrath did not change the fact that they were the children of
God's grace from all eternity. But God, who is rich in mercy,
For his great love, whereinwith he loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace
ye are saved, and hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages
to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness
toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of
works, lest any man should boast. There was a noticeable peace
that was missing in the furnishings of the Holy of Holies in the
tabernacle. It was missing for those priests
that ministered there. They had all that they needed
as was prescribed by God, but There was not a chair. And this was because the work
was never done. The work they did, it never did
put away any sins. It showed the way in a type. But their work was not the work. But actually, if you stop and
think about it, there was a kind of chair there, actually a throne
upon which they could not sit. They could not rest. It was called
the mercy seat. And it was the throne where God
dwelt in his holiness and justice. It was over the Ark of the Covenant
and those golden cherubims, they formed the arms, if you will,
of that throne and mercy seat. And it was there, though not
visible, but God had already told Moses and the people saying
in Exodus 25, and there will I meet with thee, and I will
commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between
the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of
all the things which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel. But when Christ came as our great
high priest, and he entered into the Holy of Holies in heaven
with his perfect sacrifice, with the sacrifice that finished the
work, finished the work, the work of righteousness, which
he speaks of on the cross when he says, it is finished. And by God's grace, I hope I
never forget that. I hope I never let anybody add
to that which is finished. And it says there in showing
that he finished that work, that he sat Look over in Hebrews chapter
1. In Hebrews chapter 1 and verse
3, it says, who being the brightness of his glory and the express
image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his
power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on
the right hand of the majesty on high. That's a wonderful verse. He finished that work of purging
our sins, and as a result of that, he sat down on the majesty
on high. Look over with me in Hebrews
10, because he continually emphasizes this thing. Hebrews 10 and verse
11, and every priest standeth daily ministering and
offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can never take
away sins. But this man, after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of
God. And then look also in chapter
12, I believe it is. Chapter 12 and verse 2. He says, looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was
set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God. Now here in our text, Paul is
talking about Christ's resurrection and his ascension and what the
old writers used to call his present session with regard to
this work that he's accomplished and what it means to all his
people. Now realize that there is a possibility
that Paul is talking here about two resurrections. Because most
of the time this text is used to speak of regeneration, how
we are raised spiritually by the Spirit of God, made alive
under Christ, given faith by God, and raised to this life
by the mercy and love and power of God. But listen to his words in verse
5. He says, even when we were dead
in sins, and that's where this chapter begins. He says, and
you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins. I don't know what it is. We understand
dead everywhere else but when it comes to our state and condition
before God naturally. Men don't understand dead. Dead. Graveyard dead. But he says, even when we were
dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace
ye are saved. And hath raised us up together
and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And to me, the thing that seems
to speak something more than just regeneration here is this
word together. We find it used three times in
this text. He's done it and he's done it
in Christ with all his people together. He's quickened together. And what I find here is actually
what I find everywhere else in the Bible, and that is that God
has placed his elect and chosen people in what some have called
a union of grace. He put us in Christ before the
world was. Christ was espoused to us and
we became one flesh before the world was. So that in eternity,
so that God might have all the glory in our salvation, we possessed
all in Him in eternity. We were in Him in this sense
when He went to the cross. We were in Him in all senses
and together with Him when God raised Him from the dead. And when He ascended back into
heaven and enthroned Him, we were seated in our head. We were seated there in our representative. We were seated there in our husband,
and we're still seated there. It doesn't say anything about
him getting up from there. Once he sat down, he sat down
never again, except when He was seen standing up to receive
Stephen. He'll only stand, but he doesn't
leave this throne. And this is his promise that
we read in Revelation, to him that overcometh will I grant
to sit with me in my throne even as I overcame and am set down
with my father in his throne. We're seated. We're in such a
union with Christ. God views us in the Lord Jesus
Christ. He views us in this amazing relationship
that he has to us as our head and we are the body. He sees
us as one. He views us as one. And that's
why Paul uses this language so many times in the New Testament
when he says, we are in Christ Jesus. And especially when he
says, we are made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. There's no righteousness anywhere
else except in Christ Jesus. So if that be true, there are
some wonderful consequences of this. And one of them being, first
of all, that by this union and seated in him in this way, as
the scripture showed us, we have fellowship with the Father and
the Son. We have fellowship. Turn over
to 1 John chapter 1. He says, In 1 John 1 and verse
3, that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that
we also may have fellowship, that you may also have fellowship,
and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son,
Jesus Christ. Now there's one thing here that
seems always to be missed, and that is John says this, that
which we have seen and heard declare we unto you. It's by something that is declared
unto them by John and the other apostles. It's by something declared
unto them, unto you, he said, that ye also may have fellowship
with us. And our fellowship is with the
Father and the Son. We're seated in the heavenlies,
it says here. And we're seated in the Lord
Jesus Christ and being so near to the Father and so near to
the Son, He's made way for us to have fellowship with Him. But it's not natural fellowship.
It's not the kind of fellowship people say they're going to have
fellowship at church and all they have is a gluttonous feast. Or they gather together with
people that they're friends with. That's not fellowship. Fellowship,
this is fellowship here. It's fellowship with God through
his son, the Lord Jesus Christ. And we're so near to the throne
that we gather with him and we have fellowship with him through
the things that are declared. You ever stopped and wonder how
you and I could have fellowship with God? It is in and on the basis of
the Lord Jesus Christ. And having fellowship with Christ,
we commune with Him, we commune with Him and His throne becomes
to us a throne of grace. because we're so near to him.
We don't have to run down the road to a special building to
have fellowship with him. We don't have to bow before a
certain idol. We don't have to have a certain
piece of religious paraphernalia. We don't have to say such inclinations
and incantations in order to have fellowship. We don't have
to meet with a special fellow here on this earth. We don't have to walk down the
aisle, shake a preacher's hand to have fellowship with God. We have fellowship with God simply
based on this matter. We have fellowship with God on
the basis of this particular fellow. You know what God said
of Christ? He said, I've laid hold. I've
sought out one who is my fellow. And we have fellowship. I have
fellowship with God based on this thing that His fellow and
my fellow are the same thing. He can't agree with me on any
other thing. He can't view me in any other
way. We're as far as the East is from the West, as far as beings
are concerned, as far as sin and holiness are concerned, but
we have fellowship with God. We agree that He can save me
and justify me and love me based on this fellow and no other. That's what fellowship is. And
that's what he's talking here. As a matter of fact, it says
in this thing, in this first chapter of John, that the fellowship
that is here spoken of is between the father and the son and his
people who all have been instructed in this business of what fellowship
is based on. And that's Christ's blood and
his righteousness. You know, this word fellowship
here is a word that is close akin. Do you good sometime if you just
take a Greek lexicon or a concordance and start looking all through
the uses of this word in the Bible, fellowship in the Greek. I'm not a Greek scholar, but
I've got a I've got a Strong's and Thayer's Concordance. They were Greek scholars, but
I'm not a Greek scholar, but I've got a book. And you know
why I found out, if you want to find out something bad enough,
you can find it out. Christ said if you want to know
the doctrine, if you want to know the truth, so that you might
believe it, do it. But if you don't want to know
the truth, all you do is listen to your favorite preacher. You
won't know the truth, probably. The Bereans were noble, noble
according to the Spirit of God, because they searched the Scripture
to see if even what Paul said was true. The Spirit of God is the Spirit
of truth. The gospel preacher is the preacher
of truth. You shall know the truth and
the truth shall make you free. But you don't know the truth.
I tell my people this all the time. The only thing you really
believe The only thing you really believe is what you know to be
true from the Word of God yourself. Well, I know Brother Gary, he's
always told the truth. He may change today. There's only one infallible unchangeable
standard of divine truth. And that is the written Word
of God. It's not how I preach it. It's
not whether or not you like the way I preach it. It's not all
these other things that divide people. It's the truth as it
is in Christ Jesus. But this word that we find here
in 1 John 1, where he's talking about fellowship, and that fellowship
coming about because somebody, sin of God, has declared the
truth about Jesus Christ. That's always what fellowship
is based on. Turn over to 2 John. Peter chapter
1. Second Peter chapter 1. And look down at verse 4. I ought
to read all of this first part. Simon Peter, a servant and an
apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious
faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior, Jesus
Christ. Let me stop right there and say,
that's the only way anybody has faith. Because of the righteousness
of Jesus Christ. They don't have righteousness
because of faith, though it's received through faith. But faith
is not the cause. Righteousness is the cause of
us having faith. That righteousness that Christ
established on the cross. Grace and peace be multiplied
unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our
Lord, according as his divine power hath given to us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him
that hath called us to glory and virtue. He's given us everything. everything we need that he says
pertains to life and godliness. He's given it to us in his word. He's given it to us by his gospel. And he says in verse 4, whereby
are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lusts. Does that verse belong there? Does that verse imply that in
some way We are made to have the nature
of God? Sometimes I don't think people
really, really think for one minute about what they say. The divine nature. I'm sorry. If he has a divine
nature, is divine. And there is only one that is
divine. Divinity lies in the Godhead
alone. Well, what does it mean here
about being partakers of the divine nature? Well, if you look
and study that word partaker out, you'll find out that it
is close akin to the same Greek word that we have translated
fellowship in 1 John. That sort of clarifies things,
don't it? And if you look at where it's used elsewhere in
the New Testament, every place, in some way or another, it seems
to say something like this, to be an associate of, to be a companion
of, to have fellowship with. That's the only way we can have
fellowship with the divine nature. It's in the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's through His blood. It's through that sacrifice that
removed the separating sin. There isn't any other way. It
can't mean that we're divine. We'll never be divine. Somebody
said, well, what does it mean? As he is, so are we in this world. Well, whatever it means, it does
not mean we're divine. It doesn't mean we're little
gods. But me and God. You remember
that song? Me and God got a good thing going. We have. And his name is the
Lord Jesus Christ. We have fellowship. We're seated
in him. We have fellowship with him through
this word that is declared. John said we've seen some things,
He's showed us some things, and we've heard, He's taught us some
things, and that's why we're teaching you, so you can have
fellowship with us, and you can have fellowship with the Father,
and with the Son. You can be in agreement with
Him. You can be in harmony with Him. In 1 John chapter 1, If you read
most commentary, sometimes I think we'd just be loads better off
to throw them away. Because we have a tendency to
swallow it hook, line, and sinker. But no man is infallible, except
the God-man. I loved Robert Hawker to death. I love to read, it's warm and
he's just such a good commentator. Old writer, he just speaks the
truth and he magnifies Christ. He's the most able man that's
setting forth in every place the triunity of God and salvation,
but you know he stayed in the Church of England? Baptized babies? I wouldn't. Is that enough to
label him a heretic? Evidently not. He's real inconsistent. But so
are most people I know. But most commentators say that
this means what it doesn't mean. And they take this verse in 1
John 1. Verse 6, if we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not the truth. But
if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another. And the blood of Jesus Christ,
His Son, cleanseth us from all sin." They say this. They say. If your conduct's not exactly
right, if you're not in fellowship with
God. I'll tell you what, if the least
sin can put you out of fellowship with God, there ain't no chance
for me. If you have to think on God every
minute, if you have to bow when you pray,
If you have to do all these rules and regulations that men have
set upon us, I ain't got a chance. If my fellowship with God depends
on anything I do, I'm lost. They say, but it says if you
walk in the light. What is it to walk in the light?
It's to walk by faith. The light is the truth of the
gospel. And in the truth of the gospel,
we have fellowship with God and we walk with God by faith. Because we agree on this fellow. God says he's your only hope.
I say he's my only hope. God says it's only by the blood.
I say it's only by the blood. It's only by grace. Absolutely,
by grace, the only way. As a matter of fact, I think
that's a lot about what growing in grace is about. The more we grow to see our need
for grace, The more we grow to see all graces
from God alone, the more we grow we see that all grace is in the
Lord Jesus Christ. If we believe the truth, if we
believe the gospel, we're walking in the light. Well, we stumble,
we fall, we make mistakes, I remember hearing a preacher a long time
ago, a radio preacher. He said, since I got saved, I
don't sin no more. I make mistakes. I thought, man. Yeah, I make mistakes. And all
God's people make mistakes. But we walk in the light, and
in the light What's our hope with God? That the blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth us from all sin. And since we're seated in the
heavenlies in Christ, since we're sitting with Christ in His throne,
we're safe. Call it eternal security, call
it what you want to. But if you're with Christ in
His throne, you're safe. The devil or anybody else isn't
going to scale the walls of heaven. Steal you away. I give unto them
eternal life and they shall never perish. We shall be saved from
wrath through Him. Those are wonderful promises.
Your life is hidden with Christ in God. You shall be saved. If your head's in heaven, you're
safe. Bury me all the way up to a chin
if you want to. Keep my head above the water
or above the sand. We're safe. And since we're seated
in the Lord Jesus Christ, we're seated, we can rest. Because Christ is our Sabbath. We rest in him. He's our Noah. This one's gonna comfort us,
that's what the name means, rest. He's our Noah. He says, come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I'll give
you rest. Did he lie? No. Take my yoke upon you, and learn
of me, for I'm meek and lowly and hard, and ye shall find rest
for your souls. We're safe, and we can rest. And I tell you, you can't rest
anywhere else. I've tried myself. I've seen
multiplied thousands of people who tried to do it. They tried
to rest in their works. They tried to rest in a religion.
They tried to rest in their accomplishments. They tried to rest in their knowledge.
They tried to rest in everything but Christ. They never rest. The lady said, when I was, the
Lord began to teach me the truth. She was some kin by marriage. She said, oh, he'll be on that
for a while, and he'll be on something else a while, and he'll
be wandering here and there and changing all that. No. I found rest. I'm not going anywhere. My wife bought me a new chair
recently. And boy, I can rest in that chair. She's trying to preserve the
old man, I guess. And since we're seated in the
Lord Jesus Christ, we possess all spiritual blessings, all
the blessings of grace, We may not have all temporal blessings
or what men call blessings, but if we're in Christ, who is all,
we have all. You're not gonna get a bigger
pen than me. You're not gonna have a gold
match than me have a silver. Because it's all by grace. And
it's not based on what I do, but what Christ has done. We possess it all. The Lord is
my shepherd, I shall not want. Christ is made unto us wisdom
and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. And sitting in
Him, we wait for that resurrection in which He shall raise our bowed
bodies to be like Him. in any second-class citizens. It wouldn't be allowed in heaven.
And God's people are already there in Him, in Christ. And
since we are seated in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have fellowship,
true fellowship, with all others who are there sitting with us. John said, we declare unto you
that which we have seen and heard of Christ that you all may have
fellowship with us. Now you have fellowship with
Paul and John. They put on their shoes the same
way we do, but they probably had sandals. It would be kind
of tough out there today. But anyway, they were human beings. They were sinners saved by grace. They were men that God used amazingly
by His Spirit, teaching them the good news of Christ and Him
crucified. But we can have fellowship with
Paul, John, Luke. and all the minor prophets. How? Because they saw it. The Spirit led them to declare
it to us, to write it down. And if we agree with them, we
have fellowship with them. And we have fellowship with all
God's people. I may not know them all. They may disagree with me on
who's going to win the ball game today. They might not like the same
colors I like. They may even have been born
in the north. But I can have fellowship with
them. I can have fellowship with you. Never saw Him before I came here.
Comes from the Dominican Republic. But brother, if we agree on this
one thing, that it's all Christ, and none of me, all grace, all
His blood, all His righteousness, God is just to justify us on
the basis of that work that Christ accomplished. We can have fellowship
with the living people of God, those of like precious faith,
those who worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ
Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. It's Israel. The true church. Paul said, unto the church of
God which is at Corinth. That was a kind of a group with
problems, wasn't it? But you know what? When Paul
wrote to the church at Corinth, he called them saints of God. He spoke of them in loving terms,
but when he spoke to the church at churches in Galatia who tried or were coming under
the influence of mixing law and grace, works and grace. He cut right to the chase and
he started rebuking them. You mean to tell me it was worse
than the problems of immorality and such as were occurring? Absolutely. Absolutely. He says, to them that are sanctified
in Christ Jesus, not really called to be saints, but called saints,
which with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours." Old Abraham. He wandered over
the desert. He pitched his tents in a certain
place, then he moved them to another place. But all the time
it says, that Abraham reared up an altar of stone, and he
sacrificed the sacrifice of blood that God had appointed, and he
called upon the name of the Lord. Paul said, whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. What does that mean? Does it
mean, Lord, Lord? No, he said, many were saying
to me, Lord, Lord. And I'll say, I never knew you. But when Abraham called on the
name of the Lord, it meant he approached God, sought to be
heard and accepted by God, and worshiped God on the basis of
a God-appointed blood sacrifice. And he looked by faith in what
it typified to Christ. And that's the only way you and
I will ever be able to call upon the name of the Lord. Christ said, Abraham saw my day.
He's glad. I hear the word. I hear Paul
and John and all these apostles speaking about the very things
that were typified in such things as Abraham's sacrifice. I rejoice. You see, we don't sit down together
and quake with fear at Mount Sinai, but rather we are coming
to Mount Zion and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general
assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven,
to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made
perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and the
blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
That's where we come. We wait and we anticipate actually sitting with Christ
and His people in heaven in a glorified state, being then sinless, possessing
then a new body, but sitting in Him and with Him We won't be any nearer to God
than we are right now. Because actually we're in God. We're made the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus. Our life is hid in Christ with
God. We're so near. We're there because of Christ's
successful work. And if he's there, we're there. And we're sitting pretty. Sitting
pretty. God bless you. Excellent. Thank you. Thank God
for the good word. Let's get our black folders out. Go to page one and let's see. Very familiar song, and it is
Say Sinner. Let's stand and sing Say Sinner. And after we do sing this, take
a little break. When you hear the musicians,
we'll gather together. And the rest of you can stand
now. OK, let's sing together. Stay sinner, will you meet me? Stay sinner, will you meet me? Stay sinner, will you meet me? On Canaan's happy shore By the
grace of God I'll meet you. By the grace of God I'll meet
you. On Canaan's happy shore. There we'll shout and give Him
glory There we'll shout and give Him glory There we'll shout and
give Him glory For glory is His name
