If you would, open your Bibles
with me to Romans, Chapter 5. I'd like to point out our men's lunch. It's something I hope to do at
least semi-regularly on September the 15th. And if you could, just
shoot me a text or something so I can kind of get a head count
so we know I've got seating arranged for everybody. I think that'll
be something very enjoyable for us. Romans chapter 5, we'll begin
our reading in verse 12. Wherefore is by one man sin entered
into the world, and death by sin. And so death passed upon
all men, for that all have sinned. And that literally translates
in whom all sinned. In Adam, all sinned. For until
the law, sin was in the world. But sin is not imputed where
there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But
not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For through the
offense of one, many be dead. Much more, the grace of God and
the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded
unto many. And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift. For the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses and a justification. For by one man's offense, death
reigned by one. Much more, they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign
in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as by the offense
of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, Even so,
by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men
under justification of life. For it's by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners. So by the obedience of one, shall
many be made righteous. Moreover, the law entered that
the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound. That as sin hath reigned unto
death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord. All right, let's stand together.
Shawn leads us in singing our call to worship. Brethren, we have met to worship
God our Father we embrace. He who chose us for his purpose,
cleansed and saved us by his grace. Worship, honor, power,
and glory unto Christ the Lord belong. He is worthy of our worship. He's the subject of our song. Brethren, we have met to worship
Christ our prophet, priest, and king. Let us bow in adoration. Let his praises loudly ring. ? Church of honor, power, and
glory ? ? Unto Christ the Lord be loved ? He is worthy of our
worship. He's the subject of our song. Brethren, we have met to worship. God, the Spirit on us flow. Even though we are but worthless,
let our praises freely flow. Worship, honor, power, and glory
unto Christ the Lord belong. He is worthy of our worship. He's the subject of our song. If you would, turn in your hymnal
to song number 466. 466, Christ liveth in me. Once far from God and dead in
sin, no light my heart could see. But in God's Word, the light
I found. Now Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. What a salvation this, that Christ
liveth in me! As rays of light from yonder
sun, the flowers of earth set free. So life and life and love
came forth, from Christ living in me. Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. Oh, what a salvation is that
Christ liveth in me. As lives the flower within the
seed, As in the cone the tree. So praise the God of truth and
grace, His Spirit dwelleth in me. Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. Oh, what a salvation this, that
Christ liveth in me. With longing all my heart is
filled, that like Him I may be. As on the wondrous thought I
dwell, that Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. Oh, what a salvation is that
Christ liveth in me. Pastors ask us to read from 2nd
Kings chapter 4 verses 1 through 7. Now there cried a certain woman
of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying,
Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knowest that my servant
did fear the Lord. And the creditor is come to take
unto him my two sons to be bondmen. And Elijah said unto her, What
shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the
house? And she said, Thine handmaid
hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil. Then he said,
Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty
vessels, bar not a few. And when thou art come in, thou
shalt shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and shalt
pour out unto those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that
which is full. So she went from him, and shut
the door upon her, and upon her sons, who brought the vessels
to her, and she poured out. And it come to pass, when the
vessels were full, that she set unto her sons, Bring me yet a
vessel. And he said unto her, there is
not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she
came and told the man of God, and he said, go, sell the oil,
pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. Let's
pray. Our dear Heavenly Father, we
come to you this morning with such praise and glory for your
great name. It's such a blessing, Lord, to
read these words this morning with an understanding and see
the true blessings and the mercies of your grace upon this lady
here, this widow. We pray, Lord, those same mercies
here this morning. We pray the mercies of your grace
be upon us abundantly. We pray, Lord, that you bless
our pastor this morning that you give those words that you
put on his heart. Give them to us, Lord, in spirit.
Let us worship Lord in the way in which only you can provide,
and that's in spirit, in truth, by your gospel. Let this gospel,
Lord, be preached to us by the way of affections. Let the affection
of your love be shown to us. Let us walk in that light as
we have heard preached to us this morning. Let us walk in
the way of that light. Let that light shine through
this morning to us by your gospel. Let it shine brightly, Lord,
down in the deeps of our hearts, each and every one of us. We
pray these things, Lord, for those who may not know these
things. We pray those, Lord, if any among us, Lord, that don't
know these things, that you give them that grace, give them that
understanding. We pray to you, Lord, for those
in whom are going through the difficult times, these troubled
times in this life, these infirmities, the afflictions, the trials,
the tribulations of this world, all these things, we pray, Lord,
that you give them grace, give them understanding and trust
in the true healer. All these things we ask, Lord,
we ask these things in Christ's name for his sake. Or if you would, just hold your
Bibles open there to 2 Kings chapter 4. That's going to be
our text this morning. I've titled the message, What
Shall I Do For Thee? Maybe I should have titled it,
What Do You Have In The House? But I already typed it out, so
I'll stick with it. What Shall I Do For Thee? I took
that from the verse 2 where Elisha said, Senator, what shall I do
for thee? Well, that's a good question. What shall I do for
thee? The question of salvation is
what will God do for us? That's the question. The question
is not what will we do for God. The question is not, well, what
can I do to get this thing of salvation started? The question
of salvation is this, what will God do for us? If God does it
all, if he does everything in this matter of salvation, We'll
be saved. We'll have eternal life. But
if any part of salvation is something that we have to do, if the Lord
left something, even just one little thing left for us to do,
then we'll be damned. It's as simple as that. If Christ
does it all, we'll be saved. If not, we'll be damned. Now,
we have a wonderful picture of that in our text this morning.
First thing I want us to see about this matter of salvation,
what will God do for us? We're in this mess, the mess
of sin that we're in because of a death. Look at verse one,
2 Kings chapter four. Now there cried a certain woman
of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying,
thy servant, my husband is dead. And thou knowest that thy servant
did fear the Lord. And a creditor has come to take
unto him my two sons to be bondmen. Now this prophet, the wife, the
widow wasn't telling something that wasn't true. He was a faithful
man. He'd been a faithful servant of the Lord. He feared the Lord,
he was faithful, but he still died. He died because he was
still a sinner, just like you and me. But he was faithful. And I thought when I was thinking
about this man, what she said about him, you know the only
people who are faithful are people who know their sinners that are
saved by grace alone. That's the only people who are
faithful. If you know, God's taught you this, you know you're
a sinner, you'll be faithful. You'll be faithful to trust Christ,
because you don't have any other hope. You'll be faithful not
to look anywhere else, because you know there's no hope anywhere
else but Christ. And that's this man, he was a
faithful man. He faithfully looked to Christ, and he trusted Christ.
Since he was one of the prophets, I'm assuming he was also faithful
to preach Christ. But he still died, because he
was a sinner. And when this faithful prophet
died, He left his family without any means of support. And now
his sons are going to be taken as slaves to pay off the debts
of their father. Now, that is a real good picture
of how you and I got in the mess that we're in. Our father, Adam,
was created upright. He was upright. He was innocent.
But he fell. He fell into death. He fell when
he sinned against God. And when Adam sinned, All of
us sinned in him. That's why I read that passage
in Romans chapter five. That's what Paul said. In whom?
All sinned. When Adam sinned, we all sinned
in him. When Adam died spiritually, we
all died spiritually in him. When Adam sinned and racked up
this enormous sin debt against God, we became debtors too. We
became debtors to God's law and God's justice. And from the time
that we were born, not even born, from the time we were conceived
in the womb, We are conceived in sin. We've been nothing but
sinners from the time that we were conceived in the womb. We
came forth from the womb, speaking lies, because that's our nature. It's a sin nature that can't
do anything but sin. And our sin has left us with
a sin debt that we cannot pay. God's justice requires satisfaction,
and we can't pay the debt. Adam's sin has left us spiritually
bankrupt. I mean without even the first
penny to pay towards our sin debt. So God's justice demands
our eternal death. The soul that sinneth, it shall
surely die. That's what God's justice demands.
And eternity in hell won't pay for even one of our sins. Do
you know why our suffering in hell won't pay for even one sin?
Because our soul is worthless. Because we're sinful, that's
why. Now, we're in a mess, aren't we? I mean, we're in a mess. I don't know how long this woman's
sons had to be slaves in order to pay off their father's debt. Our suffering in hell would be
eternal, because we can never pay the debt. I mean, we're in
a mess. I mean, we're in a mess, aren't
we? We're just like this poor widow woman. without help, without
hope, without Christ in this world. And our whole mess started
with the death, didn't it? With Adam's death. But now there's
good news. Now the gospel declares the truth.
The gospel declares the truth of who we are, what we are, how
we got in the mess that we're in. Human language can't paint
a picture black enough and hopeless enough what we are by nature.
But the gospel also tells the truth about the good news, the
good news of Christ. Here's the good news. God's gonna
save some sinners. He's gonna save them. And that's
what's pictured next in our text. God does all of the saving for
empty sinners. Verse two, and Elisha said unto
her, what shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the
house? And she said, thine handmaid, hath not anything in the house
save a pot of oil? Then he said, go borrow thee
vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels. Borrow not
a few. When thou art come in, thou shalt
shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out
into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is
full. Now Elisha told the woman, you
go borrow empty vessels from all your neighbors. Everybody
around the neighborhood, you borrow all the empty vessels
that you lay your hands on. And you take them and you fill
them with oil from that little pot of oil that you've got in
the house. Now the vessels she borrowed, the vessels she brought
into the house, had to be empty vessels. There couldn't be a
jar, you know, with some oil in it. There couldn't be a jar
just, you know, a little oil in the bottom of it. If there's
a little oil in the bottom of it, turn it over, shake it, and
dump it out. only bring in to the house an
empty vessel. Because the only vessels that
are going to be filled from her little pot are empty vessels. And it had to be that way. This
widow woman could only have empty vessels because those empty vessels
are pictures of the people that God saves. God only saves empty
sinners. Now I know the flesh doesn't
think that's good news, but that's good news. You don't have to
produce a little bit of righteousness in order for God to save you.
Here's who God will save, empty sinners. They're empty of any
righteousness. They're empty of any goodness.
They're empty of any reason at all that God would find favor
in them. They're empty. Those are the
people that God will save. Sinners, this is the people God
will save, who are empty. They have nothing and they are
nothing. That's who God will save. That's
the only sinners that God will save. You've got to be empty
before you can be filled. You've got to be stripped before
you can be clothed. I thought when I was studying
this, how many times do I hear that growing up? You've got to
be empty before you can be filled. Here's where that phrase came
from. You've got to be empty before you can be filled. God
saves empty sinners. But here's what else is the other
good news in our text. God will save every empty sinner. Every empty sinner, God will
save. Romans 10 verse 12 says this,
the Lord is rich unto all that call upon him. You know who will
call upon God? Empty sinners. And he's gonna
be rich to every last one of them. God has plenty of mercy,
plenty of grace for every sinner. who is so sinful and so empty,
the only way they can be saved is by pure grace alone. Don't ever think God doesn't
have mercy for you. Don't ever think God doesn't
have enough mercy for you. Don't ever think, oh, God's run out of mercy.
He's tired of saving folks, you know, and the end of the world
is drawing near, and God's tired of saving folks. He won't save
me. Oh, yes, He will. He will if you're empty. He will
if you're empty. And that's what's pictured here
in our text. You notice what Elisha told her, go borrow those
empty vessels? He said, borrow not a few. Don't
just go get a few now. Get every empty vessel that you
can find and bring them into your house. And here's why Elisha
told her that. This is a picture of God's salvation.
Our God has abundant grace, abundant grace. I know our sins abounding. I mean, just how high is the
mountain of our sin? But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound. No matter how large our sin that
is, God's got more grace than we got sin. His grace is always
going to abound. God is rich in mercy. And I'm
telling you, when God saves, it's plenteous. It's plenteous. Here's my third point. God does
all the saving by his creative power. Verse five. So she went
from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons. He brought
the vessels to her and she poured out. And it came to pass when
the vessels were full that she said unto her son, bring me yet
another vessel. And he said unto her, there's
not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Now this
widow woman, she just had one little pot of oil. And that one
pot was used to fill every empty vessel that she and her sons
could find. She brought all those in. I mean,
I wonder, did they think, when they looked at this pile of empty
pots and pans and vessels, and she just had that little old
cruise of oil, you know, did they think, well, this isn't
going to take long. I'm going to dump this out, and
that's going to be the end of it. I just don't have much. She just started pouring. And sure enough, every one of
those empty vessels that they brought in that house ended up
being full of oil. They ended up with way more oil
than they started with. Now that's a miracle, isn't it?
It's a creative miracle. Now as great a miracle as that
is, the salvation of a sinner is an even greater miracle. There's only one man who's ever
on this earth, who earned a righteousness by his obedience before God.
Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ was made under the law and he
obeyed the law perfectly. One man, one man in 6,000 years
of human history, one has obeyed God's law perfectly. And that
one man, he's so wonderful. He's so sufficient. He's so powerful. That one man fills every empty
center whoever comes to God by him. He fills every last one
of them. Scripture tells us this one man
saved a number no man can number. This one man has completely filled
a number no man can number. They're all empty and he filled
every last one of them. I've said this before recently,
and I really like it. The gospel is supernatural. The salvation of a sinner is
supernatural. And by supernatural, I mean that
salvation is something only God can do. And he doesn't use any
natural power or natural reasoning to get the job done. It's divine
power that cannot be understood, that cannot be seen by the natural
man. God doesn't use any natural human
thing at all to save His people from their sin. It's supernatural. It's a work done only by God.
And that's what's pictured here. God created oil. He just kept
creating oil where there was no oil before until all those
pots were full. Now the only way that's possible
is if God created the oil. She just kept pouring and God
just Kept creating oil until the pots were full. It's just
like the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. The Lord just
took that little bit and started breaking it and handing it out
to his disciples. And they ended up with way more than this. They
ended up with a boy's lunch in a lunch, you know, just paper
bag. And they ended up with 12 baskets
full. How'd that happen? The Lord created matter. As he
broke that fish, he was creating matter. He did the same thing
here with this oil. And I point all that out for
this reason. God uses that exact same creating power to create
something that wasn't there before, to create life in the hearts
of his people. God creates, when God saves one
of his people, he creates a new man, a new nature in them that
was not there before. God doesn't change the old sinful
nature into a holy, righteous nature. God creates a brand new
nature. from scratch, from brand new
seed. He's not gonna use that old sinful
seed again. Nicodemus said, well, can I enter back into my mother's
womb and be born a second time? Well, Nicodemus said, if he could,
it wouldn't do any good. You're gonna be born from the
same sinful seed, the same process is gonna produce another sinful
Pharisee. That's all it's gonna produce. God uses new seed to
create a new man who was never there before by his creative
power. Look at 2 Corinthians chapter
four. I mean, it's hard to imagine
what the universe looked like when it was void and empty of
life. And God spoke and said, let there
be light. God spoke and said, let the dry
land appear. God spoke and all these things
just suddenly appeared. It's hard to imagine the power
of that and what that must have looked like. It's hard to imagine,
isn't it? God uses that very same unspeakable power to give
life in the hearts of his people. It takes that much power to do
it. Look here at 2 Corinthians 4 verse 5. For we preach not
ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants
for Jesus' sake. And here's how we do that. For
God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has
shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Now here's how
God, here's how creation began. God said on the first day, let
there be light. And there was light. It was so.
And that light on the first day is the Lord Jesus Christ. You
read the account this afternoon. The sun and the moon and the
stars weren't created until the fourth day. That light on the
first day is the Lord Jesus Christ. The creation of the physical,
material world began when God said, let there be light. Let
Christ appear. And it was so. The salvation
of our sinful souls begins the very same way. By that same power,
God says, let there be light. Let the Lord Jesus Christ appear
in the hearts of my people in his glory. God said, let there
be light, and there was light. Just like I said in the Sunday
school class this morning. God says, let there be light, and
suddenly we say, oh, I see. Now I see what you're talking
about. Why do I see? Because God said, let there be
light. That's how salvation begins. If God has saved you, you know
Christ. This is what you know. There was a time you were in
darkness and you didn't know God. You didn't trust Christ.
You didn't know the gospel. You didn't believe the gospel.
You didn't believe Christ. You didn't love it. You hated it. You were right
board with it. And now you love it. Now you believe Christ. And
you know the reason why, don't you? Because God said, let there
be light. In his power, and in his mercy,
and his grace. And Paul says he does it by the
preaching of Christ Jesus the Lord. That's why we keep preaching
him. Because that's what the message God uses to give light
to his people. And when God saves His people,
I'm telling you, now they're born empty. They're born worthless,
but they don't stay empty because God fills them. And you know
what He fills them with? He fills them with His Son. Look
at Ephesians chapter one. Ephesians one, beginning in verse
19. In what is the exceeding greatness
of his power? To usward who believe, according
to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ,
when he raised him from the dead and set him in his own right
hand in the heavenly places. Far above all principality and
power and might and dominion, in every name that is named,
not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. And
hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head
over all things to the church. Now that's the glorious savior
who satisfied his father, who by his sacrifice put away the
sin of his people. He suffered and died. The father
raised him from the dead because his sacrifice put away all of
the sin of all of his people. And the father glorified him
in heaven over all things. I mean, you just think how glorious
this eternal savior is. He is over all things. Now look
what verse 23 says. over all things to the church,
which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. I'll just try to let that sink
in for a second. Him who the heavens cannot contain
fills his people. God fills his people with Christ. Now, if you're filled with Christ,
you're plumb saved, aren't you? If you're filled with Christ,
there's no room for you and me and our sin and Adam's nature
anymore. You're filled with Christ. Filled! Then you're plumb saved. You're
plumb saved. And here's another example of
God's saving power. His grace and mercy in Christ.
This widow woman kept pouring out oil. And she poured and she
poured and she poured. I don't know how many vessels
she had. She kept pouring and that oil never ran out as long
as there was an empty vessel. The oil only stayed when all
the empty vessels were full. Now God has mercy and he has
grace. for every empty sinner who needs
to be filled. And I promise you this, God's
never gonna run out of mercy. He's never gonna run out of grace.
He's never gonna run out of forgiveness. He's never gonna run out of love.
He's never gonna run out of patience. He's never gonna run out of keeping
power until every empty, guilty sinner has been saved. That's what William Cowper wrote
in his great, great hymn, there is a fountain. Dear dying lamb,
thy precious blood shall never lose its power. To all the ransomed
church of God, be saved, to sin no more. As long as there's an
empty vessel, God's gonna be pouring out mercy. As long as
there's an empty center. Now I know this, there are empty
centers listening to me this morning. But if there are any
empty vessels, who know you're an empty vessel, Are there any
empty sinners here this morning that know you're an empty sinner? I want you to take comfort. You come to Christ. You come
to Him. And you come to Him right now,
right now, for this reason. Here's why you come to Him. God
always has saving power. He always has mercy for every
empty sinner who ever comes to Him seeking mercy. Now you come
to Him. You come to Him. And he'll fill
you. I'm telling you, the only qualification you have to meet
in order for God to save you is this. You're empty. You're nothing. If you can truly
say in my hand, no price I bring. I mean, I've got nothing of any
value. If you truly say that, God will fill you. He fills every
empty sinner that comes to him. Then one more thing back in our
text, 2 Kings chapter 4. When God does all the saving
for his people, they're saved forever. Verse seven. And she came and told the man
of God, and he said, go sell the oil and pay the debt, and
live thou and thy children of the rest. Now I almost passed
over this when I first began studying this. I'm thinking,
just sell the oil, pay the debt, you know. But he doesn't just
say pay the debt. He says, pay the debt and live. Live. This widow sold the oil,
all those pots, and she paid off her debt. And there was money
left over. It was enough money for her to
live on the rest of her life. She lived on that. The miracle
of creating the oil didn't have to be done again. Once was enough. It was sufficient for her for
the rest of her life. Now that's the salvation that
we have in Christ. That's the sacrifice of our Lord
Jesus Christ, once is enough. But all those sacrifices on the
Day of Atonement, that wasn't enough, was it? I had to do them
over and over and over again every year. The sacrifice of
Christ is so perfect, it's so sufficient, once is enough. By his one sacrifice, he has
sanctified forever them who believe. They're sanctified forever. The
one sacrifice of Christ, who saved all of his people eternally. And there remaineth no more sacrifice
for sin. There'll never be another one.
It never needs to be repeated because of who was sacrificed. The perfect son of God, the Lord
Jesus Christ, was sacrificed and the debt was paid. The debt
was paid. Never needs to be done again.
And the same thing's true of the new birth. Once is enough. Once is enough. If God the Holy
Spirit takes an empty sinner, like you and me, and he fills
us with Christ, we'll never die. If God the Holy Spirit takes
an empty sinner, fills us, we will never fall away from Christ
and have to be born again a second time. Never. Once is enough. Because when God gives life,
you know what he gives? eternal life. He gives eternal life. And if God's the one who fills
us, we'll never die. We'll never have to be born again.
Now we will have to eat, won't we? The new man needs to be fed. He needs to be strengthened.
He needs to be encouraged. We feel like we come in here
empty and hungry and starving and need something to fill us.
And that's true. We need to be filled with the
gospel. We need to feed on Christ. But if God saves us, once is
enough. Once is enough. the believer
will live off Christ forever. For the rest of this earthly
life, the believer lives on Christ. And in glory, all throughout
eternity, we're gonna live on Christ. We're gonna live on Him. If you're an empty center, you
can't produce anything good for yourself. I got some good news
for you. If Christ is all you have, you got enough. If you've been filled with Christ,
if he's your only hope, if he's the only hope you have, if he's
the only hope you want, you got enough. If you have Christ, you have
all. You're filled. You have all.
You have everything God will ever require of you. If you have
Christ right here sitting in them chairs, you're as holy and
righteous and perfect as you ever will be. Now, in glory,
you won't have this body flesh, but you're gonna be more holy
than you are right now, because you've been filled with Christ.
If you have Christ, you have everything. Now, if you've got
Christ, plus your morality, plus your good works, if you've got
Christ plus your understanding of good doctrine, you've got
Christ plus your strict orthodoxy, You don't have anything. If you've
got Christ plus something you've done, you're bankrupt. But if
all you have is Christ, you have everything God requires of you. Because God has found the empty
center and he's filled them. He's filled them with Christ.
And that's my prayer for you and me this morning. All right,
let's bow together. How we thank you for this glorious
picture of the work of redemption, the work of salvation that you
accomplish in your people. Father, how can we begin to thank
you for your mercy and your grace, your pity and your compassion
that you would choose to fill empty centers such as we are
with your son. Father, we thank you. And Father,
we beg of you that you continue, that you continue to Pour out
your gospel. You continue to pour out your
son and fill these empty centers who are meeting here this morning.
Fill every one of us with Christ so we can leave here trusting
and hoping and resting in him. Father, it's in his precious
name. It is for our good, for our benefit,
but Father, for the glory of Christ, how we pray you'd be
pleased to be merciful to us. It's in his precious name, for
his glory we pray, amen. All right, Sean, come lead us
in a closing hand, if you would. Okay, if you would, turn to song
number 353 and stand as we sing Leave It There. 353. If the world from you withhold
of its silver and its gold, and you have to get along with meager
fare, just remember in His word how He feeds the little bird. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. Leave it there. Leave it there. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. If your body suffers pain and
your health you can't regain, and your soul is almost sinking
in despair, Jesus knows the pain you feel. He can save and He
can heal. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. Leave it there, leave it there. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. When your enemies assail and
your heart begins to fail, don't forget that God in heaven answers
prayer. He will make a way for you and
will lead you safely through. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. Leave it there, leave it there. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. When your youthful days are gone
And old age is stealing on And your body bends beneath the weight
of care He will never leave you then He'll go with you to the
inn Take your burden to the Lord And leave it there Leave it there
Leave it there. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there. If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out. Take your burden to the Lord
and leave it there.
