Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of
all nature, O Thou of God and man the Son, ? Till I honor thou my soul's glory,
joy, and crown. ? ? Fair are the meadows, fairer
still the woodlands, ? ? Robed in the blooming garb of spring. ? Jesus is fairer, Jesus is pure,
who makes the woeful heart to sing. Fair is the sunshine, fairer
still the moonlight, and all the twinkling starry bows. Jesus shines brighter, Jesus
shines purer than all the angels heaven can boast. Beautiful Savior, Lord of the
nations, Son of God and Son of Man. ? Glory and honor ? Praise
adoration ? Now and forevermore be thine And now if you would please turn
to song number 168, Even Me. Lord, I hear of showers of blessing,
Thou art scattering, full and free. Showers the thirsty land
refreshing, Let some drops now fall on me. Even me, even me,
Let Thy blessing fall on me. Pass me not, O tender Savior,
let me love and cling to Thee. I am longing for Thy favor whilst
Thou art calling, O call me. Even me, even me, let Thy blessing
fall on me. Pass me not, O mighty Spirit,
Thou canst make the blind to see. Witnesser of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of power to me. Even me, even me, Let Thy blessing
fall on me. Love of God so pure and changeless,
blood of Christ so rich and free. Grace of God so strong and boundless,
magnify them all in me. Even me, even me, let thy blessing
fall on me. Pass me not thy lost one bringing,
Find my heart, O Lord, to Thee. While the streams of life are
springing, Blessing others, O bless me. Even me, even me, let thy
blessing fall on me. Say sinner, will you meet me? Say sinner, will you meet me? Say 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. 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. Turn with me, if you would, to
the book of Numbers. Numbers chapter 23. Numbers 23,
starting in verse 16. And the Lord met Balaam and put
a word in his mouth and said, go again unto Balak and say thus.
And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering
and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him,
what hath the Lord spoken? He took up his parable and said,
rise up, Balak, and hear, hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor.
God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that
he should repent. Hath he said, and hath he not
do it? Or hath he spoken? Shall he not
make it good? Behold, I have received commandment
to bless, and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it. He hath
not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness
in Israel. The Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a
king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt,
He hath, as it were, the strength of a unicorn. Surely there is
no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination
against Israel. According to this time, it shall
be said of Jacob and of Israel, what if God wrought? We'll end
our reading there. Let's pray together. Our Holy Heavenly Father, We
pray that this time continue to be a time of worship, that
your holy name be lifted up here in this place as it ought. We
thank you for the time that we've had together. Thank you for blessing
our brother. We pray that you continue to
bless our brother as he comes and speaks now, that be with
him. Father, leave him not alone.
Be with us. Leave us not alone, that we may
hear, that we may worship, in spirit and in truth. Father,
we pray that you bless this time and we thank you for this time.
Thank you for drawing us here, providing us this place in this
time right now that we can be together and worship together
as a family. Numerous blessings. We thank you for this one that
we have right now. I pray that your name be glorified, that
Christ be declared plainly, that you give us eyes and hearts to
hear. Give us faith to believe. Eyes to see. We thank you again
for this time together. We pray that you'd be with us.
We pray this thankfully in Christ's name, for his sake. Amen. Our next speaker is Pastor Chris
Cunningham, pastor of College Grove Grace Church. I'm very thankful that Count
Chris is my friend. I listen to him on the Internet
often. And he and I talk. It's always
a blessing to me. I'm looking forward to hearing
him preach three times. I apologized to him. I said,
I know that's hard. He said, I don't care. Just pray
for me. So we've been praying for you. And I'm thankful that
he's here. I'm looking forward to hearing
him preach. I'll keep him up far too late. The next couple
of nights we'll be talking and visiting. Just looking forward
to it. So Chris, you come bring the
message God's laid on your heart. And just like Kevin, you feel
right at home here with family. I appreciate Brother Frank asking
me to come. It's such a privilege and honor
to be here. I appreciate those from our church
family that are here tonight to encourage me. That's a great
blessing. The only downside to that is
if I steal that message from you, Kevin, they're going to
know about it. But I'm probably going to do
it anyway. That was a blessing, brother.
I sure do want to preach what he preached, what the Lord Jesus
preached. You'll be gracious. I don't know
if the Lord We'll use this to be a comfort
to us tonight or not, but I sure do want him to. I know he can. Revelation chapter 1. Let's just begin with verse 4,
Revelation chapter 1. I want you to notice two words
to begin with. My first point will be about
these two words in this passage. John to the seven churches which
are in Asia, grace be unto you and peace from him which is and
which was and which is to come and from the seven spirits which
are before his throne and from Jesus Christ. I want you to notice
that word from. From. This is from our Savior. What is? Grace and peace. Grace and peace from our Savior
who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead
and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loveth
and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made
us kings and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory. The second word is unto, there
in the last part of verse five. Unto Him, from Him, and unto
Him. Unto Him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Now, from the Lord Jesus Christ,
we have grace from the very throne of God Almighty. And peace with
God made by his precious blood, the precious blood of his cross.
And unto him, we say what? Glory and dominion. Glory and
dominion be unto him. Now the glory and dominion that
is unto Him is not from us. It's from God the Father. The
Father glorified His Son. It's to the Father that the Son
prayed, glorify Thou me with the glory, with Thine own self,
with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. And
that's what happened. The Father glorified Him and
He glorified the Father at Calvary in all of His attributes, in
all of His persons, and in every office. But what we do is we
sure do agree with it, don't we? We say glory, glory unto
Him. And dominion too, in that same
prayer in John 17, the Lord prayed to the Father, as thou hast given
Him power. That word's authority. Ability
too, but authority, dominion, power over all flesh that He
should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
So it's God the Father that gives Christ. He's in the business
of glorifying his Son and gave him the dominion. He's made me
judge and Lord over all, the Lord said. Over all mankind to
this end that he should give eternal life. That's where we
get in on it. He has all glory and dominion
that he might save us. And he has by his grace. So grace
and peace flow from him to us. And glory and dominion are attributed
unto him by us, given him by God, but it's a simple matter. He saved us. And so what do we
say? He saved us. We give Him glory
for it. And we say He saved us. We attribute
dominion unto Him. It was His prerogative to save
or to damn. And He saved us. He chose to
save us. And so we attribute that to Him.
Our salvation is by His grace, verse 4, where we read, and so
naturally all glory goes to Him, verse 6. And so there's the the
give and take there, and since he gave that grace and bestowed
that peace and made peace for his people sovereignly, sovereignly,
the whole case was decided at Calvary. He did that sovereignly,
and so we attribute all dominion unto him as well. He created
all things for his pleasure. They are and were created. We
say, we agree with that. We attribute that to Him. Revelation
4.11. He doeth according to His will
in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of this earth,
and none can stay His hand or say unto Him, what doest thou?
Amen. We say amen to that. Daniel 4.35. And He has mercy on whom He will
have mercy. That's Christ that said that.
I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. And whom he will,
he hardeneth, Romans 9.18. And so we attribute all glory
and dominion unto him. Does that seem reasonable to
you? That all glory should be his and all dominion, all power
attributed unto him? Not very many think that way.
Not very many people think that way. That by God's grace, we
not only bow to him, but we declare it. We rejoice in it. We're happy that He reigns and
rules. Aren't you glad that nothing
is up to you? There is absolutely nothing up
to me or you in all of this matter of salvation or anything for
that matter. Anything. And we rejoice in that. But this amazing sentence, I
want to think for a little while about this, but maybe just a
description here of who it is to whom all glory and dominion
belong. This description of him here might be the greatest blessing
in this text. Who is this from whom to us has
flowed grace and peace and unto whom from us flows adoration
and praise as a result? It's him who loved us. It's Him who loved us, Andy. Him who loved us. That the purpose of God according
to election might stand. God didn't say, Jacob have I
chosen. Although He did. He didn't say
it like that. He said, Jacob have I loved.
That's election. That's election. It's not eeny
meeny miny moe. It's not a blind, just a choice,
a cold choice. God fell in love with some sinners. And that's His choosing. I love
you. I love Jacob. And I hate Esau. That's the choice. That's the
difference right there. And I want us to stop and think
about this beautiful word, and. He loved us and. He loved us
and. That word makes all the difference. He loved us and. God's love to
this religious world and what they preach and what they believe,
it means that he wants to wash sinners clean. That's what his
love amounts to. He sure would. He sure would
want to wash sinners clean. But that's not what this says.
It says he loved us and he washed us. He didn't want anything. He just did it. That's what true
love does. Love is defined in 1 Corinthians
chapter 13 by what it does and doesn't do. It's not just an
emotion. It's not a feeling. God's love. That's not the love
of God that he's revealed in this book. Thank God it's not.
God's love is not wishing the best for everybody. God loves
indeed. Indeed. You can't define love without
that and. Let me show you that. If you
want to turn over to 1 John 4.10, you know this verse. You can't
define love without that and in our text. Because here's the
definition of love right here in 1 John 4.10. Herein is love. Here's what love is. A lot of
people have written a lot of songs about that, haven't they?
Religious or otherwise. You know what? Let's find out
from God what love is. He is love. Let's see what he
says it is. Here is love. Here's what it
is. Not that we love God. Why does that say that like that?
That phrase could not be in there at all. We still won't know what
love is, wouldn't we? because everybody thinks that's
what love is. Us loving God. It's not that. If you want to know the definition
of love, it has nothing to do with you except that God loves
sinners like us. Herein is love, not that we love
God, but that He loved us. And, see, you can't define it
without that. He loved us and he did something
about it. That's the love of God. And sent
his son to be. To be. Try not to attempt not to offer. To be well, you might say, well,
let to be is in italics there. Chris, that's not OK. Well, let's
leave it out. He sent his son. The propitiation
for our sins. He is that. He doesn't offer
that. He is that to us. He's our sin
offering. Christ is the propitiation for
our sins, and that's what love is. He gave himself for our sins. I love that song, Brother Isaac.
Thank you for singing that. You know, you'll hear celebrities
or somebody famous sing that every once in a while on TV or
something, every time they leave out the best verse, don't they?
And when I think of God, his son, not sparing, sent him to
die, I scarce can take it in that on the cross my burden,
correctly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin. That's
the simple gospel. Beautiful. And also, because he loves us, he doesn't
just want it for us, he is propitiation for us, because he loves us.
In fact, that very definition of love is that he is the propitiation
for our sin. That word means appeasing and
atonement, at-one-ment. Atonement is atonement. If you
take the word our out of that verse, listen, herein is love,
not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his son
to be the propitiation for sins. Then nobody goes to hell. You
take the word our out. It's like our text, he loved
us. And that's a key word too, isn't
it? He loved us. Washed us from our sin if he
hadn't loved us. He wouldn't have washed us from
our sins And if he didn't wash you from
your sins, it's because he didn't love you That word means appeasing atonement
Whoever he loved whoever this us is is that one with God? Their sins are atoned for And
this and, listen, this and in our text, he loved us and, it
means that God's love is a lot more than him just wanting you
to be saved. Galatians 2.20, I'm crucified
with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth
in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by
the faith of the Son of God who loved me and. You'll always find
it. You'll always find him. He gave
himself for it. He gave himself for it. Ephesians 5.25, Husbands, love
your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself
for it. Now listen to this amazing verse.
Turn with me to Hosea 11.1. I'll try to be brief. I know
y'all are tired tonight, and whether you've driven a long
way tonight or just worked all day, I know you're tired. Sometimes
that's the best time to just relax and think about the Savior.
Hosea 11.1, when Israel was a child, God said,
then I loved him. I loved him. He said in another
place, I didn't love you because you was great, but I just loved you. And called
my son, he loved Israel, his people, spiritual Israel, and
what did he do about it? I called my son out of Egypt.
Well, now listen, if you read that chapter in Hosea, that whole
chapter sometime, It clearly has reference to the nation of
Israel and God delivering them from the bondage of Egypt. I'm
going to deliver them out of Egypt. That's what that chapter
is talking about. And you remember this calling
them out of Egypt, how he did that? It was a lot of plagues
and a lot of God saying, let my people go. But he told Moses
from the start that he's not going to let you go. Then when
the time came that he had purposed, He said, now, he's fixing to
let you go now. Put the blood on the door. When
I see the blood, I'll pass over you. He called him out of Egypt. He loved and called him out. But this wasn't an invitation
to come out. Listen to how it's described
in Deuteronomy 26a. The Lord brought us forth out
of Egypt with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and
with great terribleness and with signs and wonders. That's the
description in Deuteronomy 26 of God delivering his children
from Egypt. He brought them out with a mighty
arm. He just reached down there and took them out. But you know
the story of all what happened, of all the plagues and the pride
of Pharaoh and what they all went through. People themselves,
the bondage became even harder for them during the process of
it. But in the end, by the shedding of blood, God said, when I see
the blood, I'll pass over you. He said, when you eat, when you
eat that lamb, get your walking stick in your hand and your walking
shoes on while you're eating, because you're going out. You're
going to be free. You're going to be free by the
blood of Christ. And that's the way that's described
though. The Lord brought us out with a mighty arm, with an outstretched
arm, with a mighty hand. But listen to the spiritual fulfillment
of that verse, Hosea 11.1, when Israel was a child, then I loved
him and called my son out of Egypt. Listen to the spiritual
fulfillment of that in Matthew 2.12, being warned of God in
a dream that they should not return to Herod. Mary and Joseph
were warned of God. They departed into their own
country another way. And when they were departed,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
saying, arise and take the young child and his mother and flee
into Egypt and be thou there until I bring thee word for Herod
will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he
took the young child and his mother by night and departed
into Egypt and was there until the death of Herod that it might
be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Out of Egypt have I called my son. In both chapters, there
in chapter 11 of Hosea where we read, and right here, it was
Christ that set them free. It was because God called His
Son. Because the Lord Jesus Christ
was born into this world in order to take on him the form of a
servant, to be born under the law, that he might redeem them
that are under the law and shed his precious blood. Our Christ,
our Passover died in our place and we're brought out. He was
brought out of Egypt and because he was, we are. Out of the bond,
out from under the bondage of the law, In every bondage there
is, Christ has made us free. Our Lord exposes the kind of
fake love that religion attributes to Him in James 2. If you would turn over there
with me. James 2. You know what religion says about
the Lord's love, he loves you, he wants to save you if you'll
just let him. He wants this for you, he wants
that for you, he wants everything for you. But he can't really do anything
for you. Listen to James 2.15, if a brother or sister be naked
and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them,
depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled. Notwithstanding you
give them not those things which are needful to the body, what
does it profit? What good have you done? It didn't
matter what good wishes you have for them, if you don't do anything
for them, what's the point? That's the kind of love that
religion attributes to our Savior. He wants everything. Boy, be
ye saved. I sure do want everything the
best for you. I want you to be happy. They
say, I want you to be wealthy. I want you to be successful.
I don't want you to have any debt and all that kind of stuff.
But he doesn't really do anything. What kind of love is that? What
does it profit? What does it profit if Christ
died for everybody and it doesn't save them? The context there in James 2
exposes false faith. It reveals as hypocrites those
who say they love God, but they don't serve Him or worship Him.
But what about a God that says, smile, I love you, and then doesn't
do anything for you? leaves you where you are to decide
for yourself. There is salvation. There is
a coat in there. There's a coat to be had. He
has a coat. He bought one. It's available.
But after he expresses his best wishes for you, he walks away.
It leaves you in the cold. Nobody's going to worship that
guy. Nobody. They can pretend to, but you
can't worship that God. What good is a chance to be saved
to someone who by nature is incapable of even knowing that they need
to be saved? What good is a promise that if
you'll take the first step, God will meet you to a lame man?
It's a mockery of his soul. What but a monster would ask
a dead man to choose life? God may be accused of being a
monster by me, and I've heard that before, but we're the monsters
by God. He doesn't do that. By God's
grace, he told us to prophesy to the
exceeding dry bones, knowing that it pleased God by the preaching
of the Lord Jesus Christ and him crucified to give life to
dead sinners. That's what he does. He is it. All that the Father gave the
Son will come to Him. He will. He said, My sheep hear
My voice and they follow Me. They follow Me. Why would the Father give a sinner
to His Son? Love. Why would the Son give
Himself for that sinner? And all whom he loved, the scripture
says, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image
of his son. And whom he did predestinate,
them he also called. And he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he
also glorified. Unto him that loved us, Unto him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. He loved us, it says, and washed
us. All for whom his precious blood
is shed are washed. You remember what he said to
his disciples in John 13, four, if you'd like to turn there,
I'll read it to you. John 13, four. He riseth, the Lord Jesus
rose up from supper and laid aside his garments He took a
towel and girded himself. After that, he pours water into
a basin. Can you imagine the disciples
there sitting there watching him? What's he doing? Began to
wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
he was girded. Then cometh he to Simon Peter,
and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? We're probably tempted to ask
sometimes, why couldn't Simon just shut up? What we really
should be asking is why can't we shut up when we ought to? Thou shalt never. Jesus answered
in verse seven and said unto him, what do I do? Thou knowest
not now, but thou shalt know hereafter. Oh my, you know what I believe
he's saying there? If you think this is stupid, you ain't seen stupid yet. He
humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross. If he doesn't do that, we have
no part with him. Peter saith unto him, verse eight,
thou shalt never wash my feet. And Jesus answered him, if I
wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto
him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hand and my hand.
Boy, what a beautiful. Jesus saith unto him, he that
is washed needeth not sayeth to wash his feet, but is clean
every day. He loved us and he washed us. I love those words, clean every
day. And he said to them, can you
imagine the Lord looking you in the eyes and saying, you're
clean? He has said that to us, hasn't
he? If you believe on him, if you know him, you're clean. You're not all, for he knew who
should betray, and therefore he said, you're not all. Clean,
clean every whit, and that means all whole completely. That's the only sense in which
we're clean everywhere. I take a shower every morning.
You guys probably do too. And that's necessary because
I live in the body of this death. We live in a body of corruption.
That's what Paul calls 1 Corinthians 15. This corruptible. You could
seal yourself in a sanitized room and you're still going to
get nasty, aren't you? Because the problem ain't outside
of you. It's you. So it is with sin. We are the problem. We are the
problem. It's not outside of us. It's
not the wrong crowd. Y'all heard that story about
Jack Shanks and all the pastors. It's not about the wrong crowd.
We are the wrong crowd. That's the problem. And there's
spiritual application here to what our Lord said, even about
our feet. We walk in this world, we're told in James 1.27, pure
religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to
visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep
himself unspotted from the world. The Lord has to do that for us
too, doesn't he? He washes our feet, but we're
clean. In Christ Jesus, he washed us from our sins in his own precious
blood. There in John 13 where we read,
he didn't say you're clean if you wash your feet. So don't think that's the same
thing. It's a separate issue. You're not clean if you keep
yourself unspotted from this world. You're clean. Because Christ says so. Because
he made it so. We're clean every day. Wow. You've been washed. You've been
washed. He that is washed needeth not.
Needeth not. That leper, surely there's nothing
nastier than a leper. I've never seen a leper, but
I expect they look pretty terrible. They were. Corruption was eating
their bodies from the inside out. But that
old leper, he said, Lord, if you will, you can make me clean. I will. I will be thou clean. Sinners are made clean only one
way. Only one way. Without the shedding
of blood, there's no remission of sins. And it can't just be
any blood. And that's our text now. With
his own blood. He loved us and washed us from
our sins. With his own blood. With his
own blood. That's the only thing that'll
wash a sinner. The precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew
26-27, He took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them. Can
you imagine that? I think about this whenever we
have the Lord's table. I always think of that verse
where He said, with desire, I've desired to eat this supper with
you. Boy, I want it to be my desire
to be at the table with him to partake of those elements that
represent his precious body of his shed blood. But I think of
this too, he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them
saying, drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many, the remission
of sins, But I say unto you, I will not
drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine until that day when
I drink it new with you in my father's church. See, our text
speaks of washing, which signifies the purging away of filth. But
we're not dirty in the dirt. We're filthy with sins on the
inside. We couldn't do anything about
it even if we wanted to. And we don't want to until it's
already had something done about it. Not by us. Then we're glad. We're glad when He does. When
He reveals it to us. The word remission there in Matthew
26, it's shed for the remission of sins. The only way the filth
of sins can be washed away is by redemption. The redemption
of His precious blood. Forgiveness. Pardon. What can
wash away my sins? Nothing. I'm glad it don't end
there. Bless God there's more to the
psalm. On the authority of God's gospel, his holy gospel, there's
more. Nothing but precious blood of
Jesus Christ. God's love for sinners is not
him hoping the best for them. and then leaving them to themselves.
It's not him waiting for a dead sinner to meet some requirement,
to exercise some ability. He loved us and he brought us
out of bondage and death with a mighty arm. By the precious blood of Christ,
our Passover lamb. May we go to bed tonight thinking
about his precious blood and how safe, safe though the worlds
may crumble, Chris, thank you. That was so, so good. Such a blessing. That was a comfort to our souls.
Wasn't that a comfort to our souls? I heard a story once of
a young woman. She grew up in a free will place. She came to her very first Bible
conference, Sovereign Grace Bible Conference. And this is what
amazed her. She said everybody preached the
same message from a different text, but they preached the same
message and nobody's mad at one another for preaching their message.
They both preach the same message, didn't they? Preach Christ. I'm
so thankful. Let's bow together in prayer.
Our Father, we ask you that you would give us word from thee,
enable us to worship. Father, we're thankful that you
have. Father, we thank you for your word. These messages that
we heard preached tonight, Father, we thank you. Apply your word
to our hearts, we pray, that we might believe the Lord Jesus
Christ, rest fully in him. Give him all praise, all the
honor, and all the glory. It's His precious name we pray.
Now, Shawn kind of leads us in a song. Let me kind of tell you
about tomorrow. 10 a.m. we'll meet in the same
order of service. We'll have two messages. And then we'll have lunch following
the service, a time of fellowship. Everybody can relax and sit and
talk. But not too long, because 6.30 We're going to have a cookout
at Simpson Valley, time of more fellowship and eating. Now, if
you ain't from around here, and you don't know where Simpson
Valley is, find somebody that looks like they're from here,
and you follow, well, I can't really give you, somebody, I
can't give you directions, but if you follow, we can take you
there. And we'll have that time together tomorrow evening, all
right? So, Shawn, you can leave us in the closing here. Stand if you would and turn to
song number 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 aid and light and love
came forth from Christ living in me. Christ liveth in me. Christ liveth in me. What a salvation this, 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. What a salvation this, that Christ
liveth in me.
