When the time came for the children
of Israel to be brought back from Babylonian captivity, God
raised up pagan kings whom he used to deliver his people and
raise up again his temple in his city and reestablish the
worship of God in the land. He sent three prophets. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi
to minister to his people. These three prophets he used
to stir the people continually, urging them on continually in
the work of rebuilding the temple and reestablishing the worship
of God in the land of Israel. And yet the people continually
lagged and they continually languished. And so they constantly had to
be stirred again, just as you and I do in the worship of our
God. But this rebuilding of the temple
in Jerusalem, this reestablishing of the worship of God, was but
a portrayal and a prophecy in type of the coming of our Redeemer
and the establishment of the gospel in this day and the great
glory of God revealed in the gospel. In Haggai's day, this
man Haggai, as far as I can tell, was raised up by God for a very
brief ministry. But oh, what a great ministry
he had. He preached five sermons. Five
short sermons recorded for us here in these two chapters. And
these sermons are all about Christ Jesus, our Redeemer, and our
salvation by Him. I want us to look this evening
at Haggai chapter 2. My subject is Christ, the desire
of all nations. Come, desire of nations, come,
we just say. We know, however, that all men
since the sin and fall of our father Adam are born sinners. We go astray from the womb, speaking
lies, and there is none that seeketh after God. Yet here in
Haggai chapter two, verse seven, The prophet speaks of our Lord
Jesus Christ and calls him the desire of all nations. How many times have you sung
the last verse of that hymn, that great hymn we just sang,
Hark the Herald Angels Sing? I wish we'd sing it in July.
How many times have you sung that hymn and looked at those
words, come desire of nations come, and ask yourself, how can
that be? No man desires him. None seek after him. Well, how
is it then that the prophet speaks of our Lord Jesus and calls the
Son of God the desire of all nations? How can he both be hated
by all and desired by all? Let's read together beginning
at verse one, Haggai chapter two. In the seventh month, In the
one and twentieth day of the month came the word of the Lord
by the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel
the son of Sheateel, the governor of Judah. Zerubbabel, of course,
is that one who represents Christ our king, our governor, our mighty
prince, that one on whose shoulders is the government of all things.
and speak to Joshua, the son of Josedek, the high priest."
Joshua, speaking of Christ, our great high priest. The high priest
and to the residue of the people. Haggai, you go give this word
to Zerubbabel, to Joshua, and to my people. Who is left among
you that saw this house in her first glory? And how do you see
it now? Is it not in your eyes in comparison
of it as nothing. There were some who were taken
into captivity who came back and they saw the foundations
of the house of the Lord being laid and they looked at it and
they said, well, this is nothing compared to what it was originally.
We remember what the temple was when Solomon built it and they
despised this thing. Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel,
saith the Lord. And be strong, O Joshua, son
of Josedek the high priest. And be strong, all ye people
of the land, saith the Lord, and work. For I am with you,
saith the Lord of hosts. According to the word that I
covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so my spirit
remaineth among you. Fear ye not. For thus saith the
Lord of Hosts, yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake
the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all nations
and the desire of all nations shall come. And I will fill this
house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts. The silver is mine
and the gold is mine, saith the Lord. The glory of this latter
house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of
hosts. The glory of this second temple
will be greater than the glory of the former temple. Obviously,
he is not speaking of a physical glory. Obviously he's not speaking
of the interior things in the second temple. For there were
several things in the second that were in the first temple
that were never found in the second. the candlestick, the
continually burning fire, the mercy seat, the golden altar. Those things were never found
in the second temple. So he's not talking about a carnal
physical appearance, but rather he's talking about the coming
of this one who's called the desire of all nations into this
temple in the revelation of his glory. He says, the glory of
this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the
Lord of hosts. And in this place will I give
peace, saith the Lord." Haggai was encouraging Zerubbabel, Joshua,
and the children of Israel to continue the work that seemed
so often to be to them futile and meaningless. How often do
you find yourself in just that position in this day? We labor,
we preach the gospel, we do what we can to make the gospel known,
and here's the results. Who's interested? Who cares? And so often we seem to think,
well, this is just not worth the effort. Don't ever have such
a notion. God sends Haggai and says, I
am with you. There's no reason for you to
fear. You do this work. In chapter one, he told them
to go to the mountain, get the wood, build this house, and I
will be glorified and I will take pleasure in it. We ought
always to be encouraged in the calls of our Redeemer for the
calls of our Redeemer shall succeed. The gospel shall prevail. The
gates of hell shall not prevail against us. Christ will save
his people. Indeed, he is saving his people. Let us ever remember in everything
that our God does, in everything that our God does. And if it
comes to pass, our God did it. In everything he does, he's saving
his people. Nothing, nothing comes to pass
except that which God Almighty has from eternity ordained and
now brings to pass for the salvation of his elect. There's no reason
ever for our hands to hang down and us to be discouraged in the
work of the gospel. These things, however, that Haggai
is speaking of, point directly as a matter of prophecy to our
Lord Jesus Christ. Now, some of the commentaries
say he's speaking of our Lord's incarnation, his first coming
in humiliation to accomplish the redemption of his people.
Others tell us that Haggai's words here speak of the Lord
Jesus in his second coming and the glorious appearing of our
great God and Savior at the end of all time. And then there are
others who say that Haggai is talking about the Savior coming
spiritually to his elect in the saving operations of his grace.
And I say that's right. All three are exactly right.
The prophet is talking about Christ coming in His incarnation. to accomplish redemption. He's
talking about Christ coming in the second advent to accomplish
the end of all things, the final consummation of our salvation. And he's talking about Christ
coming in the mighty operations of his grace in the saving of
our souls at the time appointed of God. Let's focus tonight on
what it says in verses six and seven. Thus saith the Lord of
hosts, Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens,
and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake
all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come. And I
will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts. Twice,
the prophet tells us, that that which always precedes and most
certainly is prophetic of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ
is a tremendous shaking, a tremendous shaking. The places where they
raise lots of fruits on trees, you know how they get it off
the trees? They take them and shake them.
take a huge vice on a tractor and shake the trees and cause
the fruit to fall, and they catch it. That's just the picture God
gives us here. The Lord God says, I will shake
all nations. I will shake the heavens, and
I will shake the earth, and I will shake all things, all nations,
and the desire of all nations shall come. There is a shaking
of all things natural whenever Christ Jesus comes. Everything
once he comes is changed, forever changed by the appearing
of the great God and our savior. First, let me talk to you about
the shaking and then about the desire of all nations. Haggai
speaks of this great shaking that takes place. You turn if
you will to the book of Psalms, Psalm 68. Wherever Christ is found, a shaking
precedes him. The shaking prepares the way
for him. We saw this at Mount Sinai when
God gave the law. You remember the mountain shook. when the Lord God appeared to
Moses. Here in Psalm 68, verse 7, O
God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
didst march through the wilderness. That word selah, I'm sure your
pastors told you often, is really just a long pause, as it conveys
the idea, stop and think about this now. Don't just quickly
read it. You went forth before your people.
You marched through the wilderness. Somehow when we read of the wilderness
wanderings of the children of Israel, it doesn't look much
like a march, does it? They just seem not to have any
idea where they're going. They made an 11-day journey in
40 years. What's, how does that imply a
march? And yet, the scripture declares that God led them in
a straight way. Now hear me, hear me children
of God. His way for you through this
world, though it may seem like a mixed up mess, is the most
direct path for you. through this world and the best
path for you through this world. You march through the wilderness.
Verse 8, when you led forth your people and you marched through
the wilderness, the earth shook. The heavens also dropped at the
presence of God. Even Sinai itself was moved at
the presence of God, the God of Israel. When our Lord Jesus
came into this world as the shepherds biding in the field, watching
over their flock, saw the angel of the Lord coming in the glory
of the Lord, shining round about them. And there was an angel
who spoke to them and said, fear not. I bring good tidings of
great joy as they beheld these things suddenly. There was an
angel or with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God and saying glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace
and goodwill toward men. Back in Joel chapter two, don't
turn there, but turn to Acts chapter two. In Joel chapter
two, there was a prophecy, a prophecy that reads like this. I will
show wonders in the heavens and in the earth. blood and fire
and pillars of smoke, the sun shall be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood before the great and terrible day of
the Lord has come. And Peter tells us plainly here
in Acts chapter two, verse 19, that this prophecy by Joel is
talking about Christ coming in his incarnation in the accomplishment
of redemption. Acts chapter two, verse 19. Peter
says, this is what Joel was talking about. I will show wonders in
heaven above and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire
and vaporous smoke. The sun shall be turned into
darkness and the moon into blood before the great and notable
day of the Lord come. This turning of the sun into
darkness, Well, maybe that has reference to that three hours
of darkness when our Lord was crucified. But I don't think
this is what Peter's referring to. I don't think what Joel's
referring to. The moon being turned into blood is talking
about a time of great judgment. The light that God had given
in this world, the light given to Israel was utter darkness.
Darkness and judgment has now come judgment so that Israel
is cast away and God sends the light of the gospel into the
Gentile world Everything is shaken and when the Lord comes again
in his glory at his second advent Such shaking shall again take
place listen to this The earth is utterly broken down. The earth
is clean, dissolved. The earth is moved exceedingly. The earth shall reel to and fro
like a drunkard and shall be removed like a cottage and the
transgressors thereof shall be heavy upon it. The transgression
thereof shall be heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise
again. In that day, Peter tells us that
the earth shall be burned, dissolved with a great heat. The Lord's
going to utterly destroy this natural creation and make all
things new. And when Christ comes in the
saving of His grace, so too He shakes all things. In Hebrews
12, verse 27, we're told that He shakes those things that can
be shaken. This shaking is the removing
of those things that can be shaken, so that those things that cannot
be shaken may abide. Let me see if I can make this
clear. When Christ steps in, something's removed. Every divine
interposition is the complete abrogation of that which it replaces. Every divine interposition is
the complete abrogation of that which it replaces. For example,
when our Lord Jesus came, he stepped in and fulfilled the
old covenant. He brought in the new, and the
new replaces and supplants the old, and the old is never again
in use. When our Savior came, He fulfilled
the law. He is declared to be the end
of the law. That means that when Christ Jesus
came here and fulfilled the law, He steps in and replaces the
law, and the law never again has its former use. It is completely
ended, abrogated forever. I know we're kind of reluctant
to use that kind of language. Folks say, well, you can't say
that. The Lord Jesus didn't come to destroy the law. I didn't
say he destroyed it. I said he fulfilled it. And fulfilling
it, it's ended, E-N-D, end. It has no more function, no more
use. Its end has been accomplished.
When the Lord Jesus came here and was made sin for us, when
he was made sin, sin was taken away. Brother Sly, I read back
there in the office just a little bit ago. I'm sorry, Paul did,
right out here. Likewise reckon you yourselves
also to be dead indeed unto sin. Reckon yourselves to be as God
reckons you to be dead to sin, but alive to God because Christ
was made sin for us. We died in Christ and sin is
finished so that never again will God bring it up. Never again he deals with us
not on the basis of what we do or even what we experience, but
on the basis of what Christ is and what Christ has done. When
our Lord Jesus came to die, death was taken away. I wish we could
learn to look at things this way. Soon we're going to leave
this world. The children of God die, we shall
not. Is that what the master said?
He that liveth and believeth on me shall never die. He is the finishing of death.
The Lord Jesus was made a curse for us, for it is written, cursed
is everyone that hangeth on a tree. When he was made a curse for
us, that man who was made to be in order that he might be
made a curse, took away the curse. And now there's no more curse
for us, particularly when the son of God comes in saving grace. People often ask me, and I'm
sure you're a pastor, and I'm sure most of you have been asked
if you've been around for a while. Someone says, well, how will
I know the Lord saved me? Let me tell you something. If you
need me to tell you that he saved you, he hadn't saved you. Quit trying to get somebody else
to give you assurance that you can't get from him. Faithful
folks won't do it. If the Lord God saves you by
His grace, you will know He saved you by His grace. You will find
yourself trusting the Son of God. When the Lord Jesus comes,
He lays righteous judgment to the lion and righteousness to
the plummet and sweeps away your refuge of lies. And believe me,
when He sweeps away your refuge of lies, you know it's been swept
away. He strips so that he may clothe. He abases so that he may lift
up. He slays that he might make alive. He disturbs so that he may give
peace. He condemns so that he may justify. He defiles so that he might cleanse. You'll find yourself suddenly
stripped naked and ashamed before him, suddenly in the dust before
him. suddenly nothing before Him,
empty before Him, lost before Him, utterly quaking before Him
because every refuge is gone. And He does this that you might
find all in Him. When Christ comes, He shakes
everything that may be shaken so that that which cannot be
shaken will remain. And then When the Lord shakes
the nations, gathering his elect out of the four corners of the
earth, the prophet says, the desire of all nations shall come. How is Christ the desire of all
nations? Come back to Proverbs chapter
13. Brother Sly read this back in the office and I thought,
what a tremendous text, him not knowing what I was planning to
preach. It's not that the nations of
this world desire Christ, no. It's not that any human being
desires Christ. But when Christ is spoken of
as the desire of all nations, the prophet is speaking of him
declaring that Christ and only Christ is that one who satisfies
everything your soul demands. Did you hear me? Christ and only
Christ meets every need of every man's heart. Whether you know
it or not, He's what you need. He's what you must have. And
if God gives Him to you, you will thank Him for it forever.
Proverbs 13 verse 12, hope deferred maketh the heart sick. I remember when God began to
deal with my own soul in some sense in which I was aware of
it, hope would rise and then be dashed and rise and be dashed
and rise and be dashed again until my heart was sick before
God. But when the desire cometh, it
is a tree of life. That's Christ Jesus, the desire
of all nations. Let me give you seven things.
Seven things that every human being desires. Seven things all
men have desired throughout history, wherever they are found. Seven
things you desire. Seven things without which you
can't be satisfied. And this is what Christ is to
my soul. First, man has always wanted
a visible God. Drive down the road and you'll
see all kinds of indications of this, especially this season
of the year. Men want a visible God. They
want a God they can see. I want God they can see. They
build statues and make graven images so they can have a God
they can see. We all want a God that's visible
to the eye. And the very reason why God prohibits
any representation being made of Him is because there is but
one place where God is visible. God's visible in the man, Christ
Jesus. Listen to this. Without controversy,
Great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh. Jesus Christ, that man who lived
2,000 years ago, walked on this earth, died at Calvary, that
man who seated yonder in glory, that man is himself God in human
flesh. The word was made flesh and dwelt
among us. I think I probably said this
to you last time I was here, but it'll bear repetition because
you probably forgot. We like to be very precise. We
like to get everything exactly right. And the theologians are
real careful to tell you now. Now, God did not become a man
and man did not become God. Well, let's see what God says. The Word was made flesh. That looks to me like the Son
of God became everything we are. The Word was made flesh, and
yet He never ceased to be God in all His fullness, so that
in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Turn to
1 John 1. 1 John 1. That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard. which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon and our hands have handled of the
word of life. For the life was manifested and
we've seen it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal
life, which was with the father and was manifested unto us. That
which we have seen and heard, declare we unto you that ye also
may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with
the father and with his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is
the desire of all nations in that Jesus Christ is God in human
flesh, a visible God. Number two, all human beings,
no exceptions. You hear a lot of folks talk
about being atheist and atheism and all that. All human beings,
I don't care who they are. If you're sitting out here and
you say, I don't believe in God, I'll tell you to your face, you're
a liar. You're a liar. You know what I'm telling you
so. All human beings have in them a conscience that demands
a satisfactory atonement for sin. This week, your pastor and
some of the men here are down in Mexico, and they'll go by
and look at some of the Mayan ruins, and Cody's a good tour
guide. He will tell them about on the
altar of those pyramids, those heathen, pagan, barbaric tribesmen
offered human sacrifices to God. Offered human sacrifices to what
they conceived to be God. Sometimes their own sons and
daughters. Human sacrifices. What would
possess a man to do such? I can understand that better
than I can most anything a man does. You know God demands satisfaction
for your sin. And you can't give it. You know
it. Every man has in his conscience
an inward inescapable sense of guilt and impurity and a desperate
need for expiation. And Jesus Christ satisfies that
desire. For he hath made him to be sin
for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him. Now listen to this preacher.
I'm not just talking to you. I'm not here just to fill up
time. I know what it is to lay on my
bed at night, terrified of God. I know what it is to go to bed
at night and try to drive a bargain with God, persuade God to let
me live through the night, promise I'll do better the next day and
get up the next day and things just be worse. I know what it
is to live in a horrible, horrible, dread of hell burning in my soul
and hell that must burn in my soul forever. And I know what
it is to try to make up with God. Years ago, my dad started to
leave. We'd been discussing things of
God, tried to. He's raised in religious background. And he said, too, with tears
running down his cheeks, as he started out the door, He said,
son, someday I hope I can make up to God for all that I've done.
And I said, dad, I hope God will teach you that you can't. You can't do it. Quit trying. Quit trying. Now, either I'm telling you the truth
or I'm lying to you. There's no in between ground.
Luke Coffey, I look to God on his throne in all his purity,
holiness, justice, and truth. And trusting Christ, I have no
fear, not a quiver in my soul of meeting him. Not one. Now, either I'm lying
to you or I'm telling you the truth. How can that be? Christ
is enough. He's all the righteousness God
demands. He's all the satisfaction God
demands. God Almighty plunged his sword
of justice into his holy son and his son swallowed up the
sword because God said, that's enough. And my soul looking on
him, on whom God looks, says that's enough. Number three, all men and women in all nations
of the world, desire of God that's accessible, a God who speaks
and is spoken to, a God who makes himself known and a God to whom
we can make ourselves known, a God with whom we can have sweet
communion. That's Christ. Oh, tell me. Ye who know my beloved where
he feeds his flocks. Oh, a God with whom we can commune
in sweet fellowship. A God we can know. A God we can make ourselves known
to. Abraham walked with God just
that way. Moses walked with God just that
way. Manoah and his wife saw the Lord
God and saw Him revealing His glory, and they had an up-close
personal knowledge of Him. The Lord Jesus declares that
He calls us His friends, and He makes His friends to know
what He's gonna do. Believers are men and women.
who live continually as priest in the holy place, doing business
with God, walking with God, walking with God through Jesus Christ
our Lord with such intimacy that we, while we can't speak what
we would speak, we can't say what we feel in our hearts, We
can't bring ourselves to speak the words that our hearts cry
to Him. But in Christ Jesus, God reveals
Himself. And I know Him. I know Him. And am known of Him. Lord, You know all things. You know that I love You. Those
are Peter's words. I know that lady back yonder.
But nowhere like I know my Redeemer. Nowhere like I know my God. And
she knows me. But I don't even let her know
me like I let him know me. She wouldn't live with me if
I did. That's just fact. That's just fact. What is it
we want? Everybody in the universe cries
out in his soul for a mediator. A daysman between him and God. Someone to stand in my stead
before God. Someone to represent me to God. God who no man has seen nor can
see. God who no man can know. And
someone to represent God to me. Jesus Christ is that one mediator
who lays hold on God and lays hold on man. and brings God and
man together in one person, Christ himself. The one mediator between
God and man. Number five, what we want is
a sure savior. How can I say what I want to
say here? The fundamentalists, the religious
nuts talk about a no soul salvation. That means if you say, I believe
in Jesus, you're saved, everything's all right. Other folks say, well,
you can't have a no soul salvation. It's just hope soul salvation.
And some folks say if you doubt, you're damned, and if you don't,
you're damned. The fact is, it's not our experience that is our
assurance. It is not that which is known
by us that is our assurance. Our assurance is our savior himself. And he is a sure savior. So sure
that this is his promise. You come to him and you're his. You come right now, right where
you are, without moving a muscle, saying a word, don't even bat
your eyes, come to Him. He says, Him that cometh to me,
I will in no wise cast out. He that believeth on the Son
of God hath everlasting life. Our Lord Jesus says, come unto
me, all you that labor and heavy laden, and I'll give you rest.
The Lord Jesus is that one upon whom we can confidently lean
all the time, casting all your care on Him, for He careth for
you. When Faith was a little girl,
we lived in the mountains of West Virginia, we used to go
walk in the woods. And if you've never been walking
in the woods and scared up a big bird, Heard an owl take off in
the tree, or maybe some turkeys down in the laurel thicket take
off flying. You hadn't been scared yet. I
mean, they can make you jump out of your breeches. We'd be
walking along in the woods and scare something up, and you know
what she'd do? I never heard her scream. Never did. She would
just grab hold of my leg like she's holding on to a tree trunk.
That's all. As long as I was there, what
she could hold on to, what she considered, now don't y'all tell
her otherwise, the strongest thing in the world, she just
grabbed hold of it, hang on, and felt perfectly comfortable.
God give me that kind of faith in my Redeemer. Walking through
this world to cast all my care on Him continually, Humble yourselves,
therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you
in due time, that he may lift you up in due time, casting all
your care on him, continually, constantly casting, for he careth,
continually, constantly careth for you. Number six. Turn to Job 33. All nations crave and desire
an acceptable substitute. A substitute that God will accept. Job 33 verse 24, behold the Christ
of God. Then he is gracious unto him
and saith, deliver him from going down to the pit. I have found
a ransom. God Almighty looked on me in
eternity and looked on his son, the lamb slain from the foundation
of the world. And God Almighty said to all
creation concerning Don Fortner, deliver him from going down to
the pit, for I have found a ransom. and the whole world said about
my deliverance. That's God's wondrous work of
grace in providence. Now, turn to 2 Corinthians chapter
4 and I'll wrap this up. What is it that we want? How is it that men and women
can live with peace in this world in the midst of turmoil? In the
face of eternity, we want an assured immortality. And Christ
alone has brought life and immortality to light by the gospel. God gave
his son that we might have everlasting life. And the book says, he that
believeth on the son hath everlasting life. Look in 2 Corinthians chapter
4, verse 18. We look not at things which are
seen, but at things which are not seen. For the things which
are seen are temporal. If you can see it, it's temporal.
Reach over and touch that man next to you. Just temporal. Make sure we touch that child
sitting beside you. Just temporal. Put your arm around that wife
you love dearly. Just temporal. If you can see
it, if you can touch it, it's just temporary. But the things which are not
seen are eternal. For we know, we know, it's not
guesswork, we know. If our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house
not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we
groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house
which is from heaven. If so be that being clothed,
we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle
do groan. being burdened, not for that
we would be unclothed but clothed upon, that mortality might be
swallowed up of life. Now, he that hath wrought us
for the selfsame thing is God. Read that like it is, not he
that hath wrought for us. He that hath wrought us for this
immortality is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest,
the pledge of the spirit. Therefore, we're always confident
knowing that whilst we're at home in the body, we're absent
from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by
sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent
from the body and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore, we
labor that whether present or absent, we may be accepted of
him. For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the
things done in body According to that, he hath done, whether
it be good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror
of the Lord, we persuade men. Knowing the terror of the Lord,
we persuade men. But we are made manifest unto
God, and I trust also are made manifest to your consciences. I want to ask you to read a hymn
with me. Turn to number 446. Sometimes I think it's better
to read them than to sing them. Would you read this one? All my life long, I'd panted
for a draft from some cool spring that I hoped would quench the
burning of the thirst I felt within, feeding on the husk around
me till my strength was almost gone, longed my soul for something
better, only still to hunger on. Poor I was and sought for
riches, something that would satisfy, but the dust I gathered
round me only mocked my soul's sad cry. Well of water, ever
springing, bread of life, so rich and free, untold wealth,
that never faileth, my Redeemer is to me. Hallelujah, I found
him, whom my soul so long has craved. Jesus satisfies my longings. Through his blood, I now am saved. Oh, may God do that for you.
Amen. Thank you.
