So if you turn again please to
Psalm 126, which we just read, Psalm 126. You read in that Psalm,
when the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like
them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with
laughter and our tongue with singing. Then said they among
the heathen, the Lord have done great things for them. The Lord
hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad. Turn again
our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. They that
sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth
bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him. When the Lord turned again the
captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. That dream. Oh, do you ever dream? Have you
ever dreamed? Do you know what it is to dream
of wonderful things, of glorious things? And to see those dreams
fulfilled. Do you know the joy of longing,
longing, longing, dreaming, hoping, praying, almost wondering whether
it should ever come to pass as you hope, but then finally, finally
after years of hoping, years of dreaming, that which you thought
was almost an impossibility comes about. Do you know the elation,
the joy, the almost disbelief when such dreams are fulfilled? Have you dreamed of freedom?
Of, as it were, flying like a bird without any hindrance in the
skies, free of all that holds you back and holds you down,
released at liberty? In this world of misery, of bondage,
of trouble, of trial, of tears, of sickness, of heartache, have
you ever dreamed of being released from all that holds you down,
all that causes your heart to break? To break free from that
which binds us, that which pulls us down, the sickness, the misery,
the frailty, the sin, the death and the darkness in our own being. To be delivered from it all,
to be free, to fly like a bird. Should you have dreamed a dream
like that, should you ever see it come to pass, then you will
know something of what the psalmist writes of here. When the Lord
turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that
dream. It was wonderful. Our mouths
were filled with laughter, our tongues with singing. We've been
set free. Free. Well the captivity the Psalmist
writes of here, is the captivity of Zion. Zion. Jerusalem. the church, the people
of God, God's people, they knew bondage, they knew what it was
to be bound. At the time of writing perhaps,
Jerusalem, the Jews knew bondage, they knew captivity in their
history in so many ways. There was a day in their history
when they were captive in Babylon, Another nation had come in and
crushed them and overturned their country and their city. They
had razed the temple to the ground. They had taken the Jews captive
into another nation and made them servants. And they longed
to be freed. Years of bondage under the rule
of another nation. Would they ever be freed? But
in the end, they were, they were. And when they were allowed to
go home, they must have been like them that dream. It finally
came to pass. Earlier in their history, they
had been bonded, they had been bound in Egypt. The children
of Israel, the children of Jacob, the 12 sons had gone down following
Joseph's descent down into Egypt. They had followed him into Egypt
in a time of famine and they had gone to live in Egypt. They
had been spared famine and given food in Egypt. And they had been
looked after by a Pharaoh who was well disposed to them. But times changed, and they multiplied
and grew into a great nation, and the pharaohs changed, the
kings changed, and the pharaoh who ruled Egypt later on was
no friend of the Jews, no friend of the Hebrews, and put them
to trial and to hard labor. And they found themselves captive
in this land in which they had once found freedom. Captive slaves, slaves miserable, beaten and bruised, caused to
work hard long hours for but little bread. And they longed
to be freed, they longed and the years went by. And one generation
dies and another generation is born and another dies and they
wonder will we ever, ever be free. But God sent Moses to Israel,
to the Hebrews in Egypt. And by Moses he delivered that
people. With his mighty hand he caused
the plagues to come upon Egypt. He caused Pharaoh's heart to
relent in the end even though Pharaoh was so hardened against
that people and their God. And he would not let them go. In the end even he could not
stand before Almighty God. God would free his people and
that people went forth and they were like them that dream. Their
mouths were filled with laughter. Their tongues were singing. Oh, these people knew captivity
so many times. But this people are a figure,
a picture of God's people throughout time, not just Israel of old,
not just the Jews of old, but spiritual Israel, God's people
chosen from the four corners of the earth throughout the ages,
all those whom he would cause to be called to hear the gospel
of his son and of his salvation. That people whom God would call
out from every nation, every tribe, every kindred, every tongue. That people who were born sinners,
born rebels against God. Born in the captivity and bondage
of the Egypt of this world. Rebels in darkness, in sin, with
dead souls. who the Lord would cause to hear
his gospel, unto whom the Lord would speak, unto whom the Lord
would send a preacher to point those in darkness unto his Son
Jesus Christ, to point those who were in darkness unto the
light that he sent into this world, to point them to the one
who might deliver them from their sins. to the One who would deliver
them from their sins. Though they would not have Him,
though they turned their back on Him, though they rejected
Him, God would send forth His Gospel to them and speak and
speak and speak until they could resist no longer, until all their
defences were broken down, until they were turned until their
bonds were broken the chains fall off and they're set free
and out of captivity they are led and being led they cry out
They laugh, they sing, for they are like them that dream, they
were dead and under sin, they never thought they'd be free
of its consequences. And here they hear of a Saviour
who loved them though they hated Him, who loved them though they
cared not for Him or His ways, who died for them though they
deserved to die. who was judged for them, though
they deserved to be judged themselves for their own sins. Yes, Zion
was captive. God's people were captive. And
there are those of God's people, His lost sheep today, who are
yet captive, yet sold under sin, yet in darkness, yet dead in
trespasses and sins, yet shut in their ears to the Gospel,
yet shut in their ears to Jesus Christ and His voice. They're
in darkness and they will not hear. But should God, by His
Gospel, come unto them by grace and call them by name call them
by their voice and say come forth and follow me i have paid the
price for your sins i have taken the chains and broken them i
have set you free then they will be like them that dream Well where are you? Have you
been released? Can you look back and say there
was a day when God called me and freed me and yes I was like
one that dreamed. It was wonderful. Well do you
sit in the darkness with your ears shut and your eyes closed? resisting and fighting. Or maybe
you sit in the darkness with a hope and a desire to be freed. Maybe you hate the darkness. Maybe you hate the captivity. Maybe God has sounded some alarm
in your heart and you know you're in darkness and you hate the
darkness. You hate the sin in your flesh.
You hate how you are. You see death approaching. You
know that this world is not the end. You know that there is a
God. You know there is something after death. And you know that
as you stand you're in darkness. You're captive. Your sin binds
you fast. What will you do? when the end
comes. What will you do should you be
called to stand before Almighty God? What will you say unto Him? So you long to be freed because
you know you have no answer. You know you're a sinner, you
know you're guilty, you know you have no answer. So you are
in darkness, you are captive, but you want to be freed and
you can't free yourself. you are as it were sat in a jail
with chains upon your arms and your legs and your hands and
you can't free them once you didn't know where you were once
it didn't matter but now you're there and you want to be freed
if you're in such a state if you've been in such a state for
any length of time if you continue in such a state for any length
of time should the freedom come Should the deliverance come?
Should the years of waiting and crying and calling finally be
answered? Should the Lord turn again your
captivity? Then you, like these, will be
like them that dream. This wasn't just for others.
This wasn't just once in time past. this isn't just something
I hope for but never attain to but God does save God delivers,
God saves today God can deliver me like them that dream Zion was captive in darkness
in the night when we're under sin when we're
bound by sin that's where we are in darkness in the night
of this world in a place where no light shines in the people
sit in darkness we sit in darkness When Christ came it's prophesied
of his coming that the people that sat in darkness saw a great
light. Because when Christ came the
light of God, the light of this world came into the darkness. That's the light we need. But
without it we're in the night, in darkness. And in the night,
in the darkness, perhaps you dream. Perhaps you dream that
it won't always be night. That the sun will rise, that
the light will come. Because that's where you dream,
isn't it? In the night. In your sleep, you dream of better
days, you dream of the rise of the sun. when that sun comes
when that light shines forth when it shines in your soul you're
like them that dream like them that dream we read of dreams in the scriptures
various places we read of dreams one man knew a lot about dreams
a man called Joseph we've mentioned him being sent down to Egypt,
being sent into captivity, being sold into Egypt by his
brothers who hated him and despised him and sought to put him to
death. And they threw him away and would
have killed him. But then some traders came by
heading to Egypt and they thought they'd sell him and make a bit
of money out of him. So off he went to Egypt in captivity. And they went back to their father
Jacob and said that he'd been mauled. He'd been put to death. And Jacob thought that his son
was gone. And the brothers thought they'd
never see him again. As we've just mentioned they
did come to see him again because God had a great purpose for Joseph. He delivered him from his captivity
in Egypt. He raised him up to a great height
and he used him for the salvation of his brothers and of their
descendants. But before he was delivered he
was sent to Egypt. He was made a servant of a man
called Potiphar. And Potiphar's wife sought to
seduce Joseph and because he would not be seduced, she had
him thrown in jail. She made claims and accusations
against him and Potiphar was angry and furious and off he
went to jail. Joseph was condemned for a crime
he never committed. He was thrown in jail for the
sins of another. He was the just suffering for the crimes of the
unjust. And in jail, he found himself
captive, locked up with two others, one a baker and one a butler. Two servants of Pharaoh, two
servants of the king were in jail either side of him. One
who brought forth bread, and the other who brought forth wine,
a baker and a butler. There he was in jail with the
figures of bread and of wine on either side of him. And this
butler and this baker both dreamt. And Joseph, by God's aid, was
given the insight to interpret their dreams. They had dreams
in the darkness and Joseph could tell them the meaning of their
dreams. The butler dreamt a dream and the baker dreamt a dream.
And in Genesis 40 we read something of the dreams and Joseph's interpretations. Joseph told the butler that his
dream had this meaning. Genesis 40, 12, this is the interpretation
of it. The three branches you saw are
three days. Yet within three days shall Pharaoh
lift up thine head and restore thee unto thy place. And thou
shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand after the former manner
when thou wast his butler. You'll go back to Pharaoh, he
said to the butler. You'll give him his cup again. You'll serve him his wine. after
three days to the baker who had a similar dream he had a different
answer after three days you'll be delivered from jail but you
will be slain you will die there's the butler on one side of him
the baker on the other they both dreamt one was freed the other
was slain Both after three days, one took up the wine to the king,
and one, the maker of bread, went into the grave. What a picture of the gospel
there is in Joseph and these men. Picture full of dreams and the
fulfillment of dreams. but a picture of something which
is not a dream but a reality to come because Joseph was a
figure of Christ another man another man who was slain another
man who was condemned for the sins of another like Joseph was
condemned for the sins of another another man who went into captivity
nailed to a cross with one man one side of him
and another the other side of him, one of whom would be saved
and one of whom would be destroyed. The one thief on one side of
Christ would go with Christ into paradise that day. The other
who railed against him went down into the grave never to rise
again. There were two men with Christ at his death. There were
two men with Joseph in the captivity of the jail. One spared, the
other saved. One who would be brought into
paradise and be as them that dream when they see their deliverance. And the other who would not believe. and whose eyes were never opened,
who would be destroyed. At the cross, Christ's body was
broken and His blood was shed. Before He went to the grave,
He told His disciples to take the bread and to take the wine
in remembrance of Him. He told them, this bread is my
body broken for you. And this wine is the blood of
my covenant which is shed for you to wash you from your sins. And he went to that cross and
he died and his body was broken and his blood was shed. And on
the third day he rose from the dead and took that blood, took
that blood before his God, took that blood under his father to
the king and sprinkled it upon a mercy seat. for those whom
he would save. Those like the thief on one side
who joined with him that day in paradise. He took that blood. Like the butler with Joseph who
went after three days to stand before Pharaoh again and serve
him the wine. Christ took that wine of his
own blood and sprinkled it before God Almighty. the king of kings
the king of kings stood before God pictured by the king and sprinkled
his own blood but his body as pictured by that baker and his
bread must be broken must be destroyed and must be laid in
the grave because in his body he bore the sins of his own people
and in his body he was made sin for that people and sin cannot
be forgiven and the flesh of man cannot be forgiven because
we are sinful through and through and we must be destroyed in the
flesh it must be judged and at the cross in Christ it was but
He delivered His people from the flesh He delivered His people
from their natural body and He will give them a new body a new
body, a new spirit with which they will rise from the grave
with Him to rise up into glory to stand before God Almighty
washed by that blood with new bodies perfect and pure, without
sin, sinless delivered from the bondage and the captivity within
which they were once held and when they enter in because of
that blood which He took unto God on their behalf, when they
enter in freed from all that bound them, freed from the captivity
They will be like them, that dream. Like the butler, they
had a dream. They hoped they'd be freed. And
in Christ, they're freed forevermore. Forevermore. Yes, Joseph's a picture of this
deliverance. A wonderful deliverance. A wonderful
deliverance. Like Joseph, Christ was delivered
from captivity. And in being delivered, he would
himself deliver a great multitude. And when that multitude are delivered
from that captivity, they are like those who dreamed. Oh how Joseph in that jail himself
must have dreamed. He'd been taken into captivity
once, put into that pit, taken to Egypt. Thought he was a dead
man. Then God had brought him out
of it and brought him before Potiphar and here he was in jail
again, accused of something he didn't do. How long would he be there in
the darkness? and the misery. Oh, how he must
have dreamed. and oh the joy when he was delivered
when eventually that butler remembered him and spake of him before Pharaoh
and Pharaoh called for him when eventually that blood as it were
pronounced forgiveness that wine given to the king was looked
upon and the one for whom it was as it were shed was remembered
and he was freed And oh the joy when the child of God hears the
gospel of Christ who shed his blood at the cross and who took
it and sprinkled it before the Father. Oh the joy when their
captivity is brought to an end. And when they come to know that
God has heard their cries and heard the intercession of Christ
on their behalf, when they come to know that that blood has answered
and been heard and they have been freed. When the Lord turned again the
captivity of Zion, we were like them, that dream. then was our mouth filled with
laughter and our tongue with singing then said they among
the heathen the Lord have done great things for them and the
Lord have done great things for us whereof we are glad we are
glad but then the psalmist says turn again our captivity O Lord
as the streams in the south turn again Turn again. There's a turning from captivity. We must be turned, we must be
delivered, we're going one way. By nature we are walking one
way. We are walking towards death
and a grave in rebellion against our maker. We're set on that
way. Our thinking is one way. We can
do nothing to change our path. And if we're to be delivered
we must be turned. Turned. Turned from captivity. We must be given repentance. Our thinking must be changed. It must be turned. Turned from
thinking one way to turned to thinking another way. Turned
from South, turned to Christ. We must be turned. Turned from
darkness unto light. We can't do the turning. We're
fixed. We walk and we walk and we walk
and it's always, always away from God. Always away from his
truth. Always against his gospel. We
cannot turn. But God can. God can. And it only takes one word from
Jesus Christ's lips to turn us. Lazarus lay in a grave, dead
for four days. Utterly dead, without strength,
without ability, in a grave, wrapped up in grave clothes.
And all it took for Lazarus to rise again and to walk out of
the grave was for Christ to call out, Lazarus, come forth. When Christ called his name and
ordered him forth, Lazarus turned and walked forth with life everlasting. Yes, God can turn. God can turn
the hardest of heart. God can turn the greatest of
sinners. God can turn the most foolish
of fools. God can turn the most rebellious
of rebels and he turns them he can turn
me, he can turn you, he turns us from darkness to light he
turns us to hear the gospel again he turns us to hear of Christ
he turns us to hear of a salvation which is not there for us to
accomplish or there for us to add to or there for us to do
something in order to obtain it. But he turns us to hear of
a salvation which he has wrought freely by grace for a people
who deserved and sought it not. He turns us to hear that Christ
came into this world not to save or to call the righteous, the
good, the holy, but to save sinners, to call sinners unto life. He came to call us unto life. He came to take the sins of his
people and blot them out. That's why his body was broken. That's why his blood was shed. It was done. It was finished
at Calvary. There's nothing for us to do.
We can't make ourselves good, we can't approve ourselves before
God, and we can't even decide to accept it or to follow. But when Jesus says unto us,
Lazarus, come forth, when he calls our name, Ian, come forth,
when he calls us by name, we turn and we follow. We turn from
the darkness unto the light. Our blind eyes are opened and
our deaf ears are opened to hear. We're turned. And we see and
we live and we're like them that dream. Because he's taken that
captivity and that bondage and brushed it aside with one word
from his lips. And our mouths are filled with
laughter and our tongues with singing. And even the heathen
look upon us and say, the Lord have done great things for them. Not they have done great things
for God. Not God does great things with
them, but the Lord have done great things for them. He's saved
them. We knew them, we knew what they
were like. Look what he's done for them. Turns us. But here in the psalm, the psalmist
says, turn again our captivity, O Lord. He looks back upon that
first turning. He knows he was in bondage once. He knows the deliverance of God
once. But he longs for it again. Oh
Lord, keep on saving. Keep on delivering. We're so
foolish. We're so wayward. We keep getting
ourselves bound again. We keep turning aside. We keep
getting into difficulty. We keep getting into trouble.
Turn us again, oh Lord. Like that day when they save
us in the beginning, turn us again. We need to constantly
be turned. Believers need to be constantly
turned from this world, from the darkness, to look unto the
light and the glory of God in the Gospel. Constantly have our
gaze set upon Christ. How easily our gaze turns downwards. How easily we look to self. How
easily we look to circumstances. How easily we despair in the
troubles and trials of life. How despondent we become. How we need to be turned to luck
and to see that our Deliverer, our Redeemer liveth. He's alive,
He's done it all, He's saved us. How we need to be turned
from the flesh to the spirit, from earth to heaven, from self
unto Christ, from the pride of self to Christ and Him crucified. how we need to be turned there
everything else is death and captivity but there at the foot of the
cross at the foot of the cross is light and life and deliverance
salvation Salvation, how we need the Lord not just to appear for
our salvation once at the beginning, but each and every day to keep
on pointing us to Christ, to keep on turning us from self
unto Him, every day. lest we ourselves fall and stumble
for we are nothing and we have no strength and we cannot keep
ourselves even if he saved us even if he's brought us to hear
of him even if we known and tasted of his salvation so easily we
fall and stumble in this journey of ours for what power he has
in his gospel to turn us again and to look and to see, to turn
us as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall
reap in joy, Though we walk through a journey of tears, though our
lives are full of trials and difficulties, though we walk
in a world that hates and despises Christ, his gospel and his people,
though we sow in tears, We shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth
and weepeth bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again
with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Yes, there's
joy in the gospel. And though we may sorrow now,
every time God brings us back to Christ and to His cross and
to know that we are His, to know that He has done it all to save
us. Our mouths are filled with laughter
and our tongues are filled with singing. And when we see him
again by faith as the Spirit opens our eyes, we're like them
that dream. That dream, why? Because we were
so captive, so bound. We wondered if we'd ever escape
and we so easily get back there. We so easily entrap ourselves
and we wonder if we'll ever escape from this trial, or this difficulty,
or this sin, or this guilt. But the Lord does turn his people.
He does. No matter how long they may be
brought to wait, in the end He does. For generations, centuries,
millennia, God's people waited for the coming of Christ. The
Messiah was promised in the Old Testament. Hundreds, thousands
of years, the people of God were born, they lived, they looked.
Many died, never seeing it in their lifetime, but they looked
for the coming of Christ. They waited, and there came a
time when God said now and Christ came and he was born and he was
made a man and he lived God walked in the presence of men he lived
and he lived to die The reason he lived, the reason Christ came
in this world, the reason God was made a man was not to be
an example, was not to be a great teacher, was not to show the
world a better way to live. But He lived that He should go
to a cross to die. He lived to die for His people
because He came to save them from their sins. He came to deliver
them. He came to set them free. And
the only way those who were dead could be set free was if another
died for them and took away that everlasting death that they deserved,
that they should have everlasting life in its place. Because the
natural death is not death. The death we feel in our bodies
with sickness and disease is not death. These are just echoes
of it. Real death, the second death,
is that eternal wrath that we will be under if we know not
the washing of Christ's blood. But Christ came to deliver us
from that death, from every death. He came to set His people free,
so that when they come, like our friend who is 90, when they
come to stand on the brink of death, that they might look and
know that Christ has already paid the price, and they might
be able to face it with joy, and pass through it, and enter
into eternal glory, and stand before their Saviour as them
that dream. with their mouths filled with
laughter and their tongues with singing, reaping in joy that
precious seed which was sown by God in their hearts so many
years before, reaping with joy. And the heaver now will look
upon them, They'll look upon those who speak of Christ and
of His salvation and they will see the change. They'll see these
people who were desperate, sold under sin in darkness and they've
changed. There's a new song, a new word
in their hearts. They have a different life about
them. They're different from us. They
don't face death with fear like we do. They're not in bondage
to this world and its ups and its downs and its troubles. They're
not frightened when famine comes along. They're not frightened
when storms come along. They're not frightened when the
economic climate collapses. We're all fearful and yet they
look upon it detached and saying, but it's nothing. It's all passing. My hope, my joy is in Christ
and in His eternal glory. I'm going to live and reign with
Him forevermore. Yes, the heathen look on and
they can see it, they can see the difference and even they
can say of God's people, the Lord hath done great things for
them. To which that people reply, yay.
the Lord hath done great things for us whereof we are glad we
are we know it we thought one day it would never come but then
it did and we were like them that dream what a God what a
salvation what a deliverance what a deliverance well what
of you are you dreaming Have you been delivered? Where are
you? Has this God done great things
for you, whereof you are glad? Can you say it? Or are you captive
yet? Are you captive yet, but dreaming
of some deliverance, hoping that maybe he will speak your name,
but sat in darkness yet? For this deliverance doesn't
just come just like that. As the Psalm says, there's a
sowing in tears and a going forth and a weeping first. We must
be shown what we are before Almighty God, as corrupt sinners, rebels
before Him, who need our sins to be judged. We must be shown
that we cannot pay the price for them. That we need one to pay the price
for us. We need to know and feel our
state in captivity. That we are in a jail locked
fast. We must cry out for help. We will be brought to. God's
ways are to bring us there. He breaks us and then he lifts
us up. He put Joseph in that jail and
it must have seemed ages whilst he was there but it was gone
in a moment. He was lifted up, he was brought
forth and he was like them, that dream. Well where are you? Are you blissfully in darkness
unaware of it? Unconcerned? Apathetic? Or are you in the darkness with
the hammer hammering on you? With the tremors of a storm,
the rumbles of a storm outside, do you sit in fear of what is
to come, the other side of death? Do you long for a way out? Do
you dream there might be deliverance? Where are you? The Lord needs
to break our hard hearts because they're solid. They're like rock,
they will not listen. He must take a hammer to your
soul to break you. His word comes as a hammer to
our souls. He says in Jeremiah, is not my
word like as a fire, saith the Lord, and like a hammer that
breaketh the rock in pieces? He sends his gospel and it comes
like fire and like a hammer because our hearts need to be cracked
and broken. They're that hard. We need it. But He doesn't send this fire
and this hammer to His people to slay them. He sends it to
break their hard hearts down and to soften them and to let
the light shine in. That when He says, Behold My
Son, behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world,
our eyes are opened to see Him. Our hearts have been broken.
We felt the hand of God upon us. We felt the darkness and
the death we live in. And we've longed to be delivered.
And when he comes and cries into our heart, into the corner of
our cell, when a light shaft comes through and cries out,
come forth. We're here and we come. We are turned and we are drawn.
Oh have you felt the fire within? Have you felt the hammer upon
your heart? Has your heart been broken? Is
your captivity at an end? Has the darkness passed away? Has the light begun to shine? Can you say when the Lord turned
again the captivity of Zion we were like them that dream? That dream. Has it happened? Has it? And what of the future? When death separates us from
this world and transports us into the next, what will we be
like then? Will our sins, our rebellion,
our refusal to believe the gospel plunge us into a nightmare of
eternal darkness and wrath? Are we fighting? Or will we? Will we, as those who have heard,
as those who believe, as those whom God has called, will we,
when this world is over and done with, will we instead enter eternal
glory? eternal glory, entered into where
the Son of God reigns, to sit with Him, to reign with Him,
to worship Him. Will we enter into there, released
from the captivity of this world, released from our sin, released
from our guilt, released from death, released from bondage,
released from sickness, released from misery, released from all
the woes that this world of death and darkness brings. Will we
as those who've been delivered enter in and be like them that
dream? Will we enter into that glory
on that day and see the Son of God glorified in His light and
perfection and wonder? See Him as He is for who He is? See how wonderful and glorious
He is? Will we see it finally and be
like them that dream? I heard of him, I knew him, I
believed him, I heard his gospel, but I never fought, I never comprehended
how wonderful, how great, how majestic he is. Oh, the reaping
there will be on that day. how we will bring our sheaves
with us if we are His, how we shall reap in joy, how our mouths
shall be filled with laughter, how our tongues with singing,
how we will say of Christ and of our Saviour, the Lord have
done great things for us, great things, whereof we are glad. We are like those that dream. It is so wonderful, so wonderful. The Lord hath done great things
for us. Amen.
