I want so very much in preaching
the gospel by the Spirit of God to lead you and persuade you
to lay your sins on the Savior. Lay your cares upon the Savior. Lay your soul upon him. With that in mind, I want you
to turn with me to Leviticus chapter 8. As we read this passage over
and over again, the scripture says, as the Lord commanded.
Now, the reason why God gave specific commandments as to how
he was to be worshiped in the Old Testament and did so under
penalty of death, either you worship me this way or you die,
was because this worship in the Old Testament, every aspect of
Every particle of Old Testament worship was designed, ordained,
and instituted by God during that temporary Old Testament
typical age to point us to the Lord Jesus Christ and to give
us instruction about how sinners must come to God spiritually
by faith in Christ. What happened in the Old Testament,
if you read For example, the first chapter of Isaiah. The
Jews gradually took the oracle of God and turned it into a piece
of idolatry so that they thought by merely fulfilling the outward
command, they were worshiping God. By merely offering sacrifices,
God would accept them. By merely coming to the right
place, God would accept them. Failing to understand, failing
to realize, that these things were but pictures of how sinners
must come to God. For example, Aaron, the high
priest in Israel, was typical. He was representative. He was
only typical. He was only representative of
the one mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ. Aaron was the great sacrificing
high priest. He wore the breastplate with
the names of the twelve tribes of Israel upon his breast. He
went into the holy place once a year with the blood of the
Paschal Lamb, and there made atonement for the nation of Israel. But Aaron didn't really make
atonement. He didn't really enter into the
holy place. He did not really put away sin. He only represented who is our
great high priest, the Lord Jesus Christ, by whose blood alone
sin can be put away, who alone entered into that holy place
not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, and by his blood
obtained eternal redemption for us. And so long as men came worshiping
God in the Old Testament, recognizing that Aaron was but a representative
of one who was to come, He was a priest who spoke of a priest.
He had a sacrifice that spoke of a sacrifice. He did a work
that spoke of another work. And we look not to Aaron or to
his work or to his sacrifice, but rather look to Christ, the
high priest who was to come. That great Aaron who would come. That one who would be a proper
sacrifice for sin by whose blood sin would be put away. Then we
worship God. The Paschal Lamb that was slain
on the Day of Atonement represented Christ, our Passover, who was
sacrificed for us. The temple, that physical structure
which followed the tabernacle in the wilderness, the temple,
the house of God, was a picture. It was a type of the church of
the living God. You who are Christ are the temple
of God. The church universal is his temple. Every local church, every true
gospel church is the temple of God the Holy Spirit. God dwells
in us. When we come together in the
name of Christ, the Lord Jesus says, I'm with you. You are the
temple of God. Oh, may the Spirit of God be
with us today. Then we will worship him. And
we will worship not here in this physical structure, but yonder
in that house above, the temple of God in heaven. And every true
believer is himself the temple of God. The nation of Israel,
the city of Jerusalem, they were but pictures of God's true Israel,
God's true Jerusalem, Jerusalem which is above, which is the
church of God's elect. Now as Aaron was the representative,
of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our great high priest, who
alone made sacrifice for sin. Aaron's sons were also priests. His sons came and ministered
day by day in the temple. They ministered every morning
and every evening. They served in the holy place
with Aaron. But they merely received the
sacrifices that men brought and they made the sacrifices in a
ceremonial way before the altar day by day and evening by evening. But those men were themselves
serving priests. They were not the high priest
who made sacrifice. They were not the one great priest
who was the mediator between God and men. They were only serving
priests, serving in the holy place. serving before God, day
and night. Now, Isaiah represented the Lord
Jesus Christ. His sons represented another
priesthood. His sons represented all God's
elect. The Lord God told Moses even
before he gave the law, you can read it later in Exodus 19, he
said, you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. And the Lord Jesus Christ, we're
told in Revelation chapter one, has made us kings and priests
unto God. He has made us kings by his blood
and by his grace. That is men who are not ruled
by the world, but rather men who rule the world. Men who sit
upon a throne, ruling over the passions of their own hearts.
The passions of the flesh are still there, but we're no longer
servants to our flesh, but rather we have made kings unto our God
and priests, men and women who minister in the holy place. Hold
your hands here in Leviticus chapter 8 and turn for just a
minute to 1 Peter 2. I won't have you turn to many
texts this morning, but look here at 1 Peter 2. I want you
to see clearly that this is the teaching of scripture. In verse 5, the Apostle Peter
writes by inspiration, and this is what he says to you. You also
as lively or living stones. Who on earth is he talking about?
He's talking about you who've come to Christ. You who are coming
to Christ. You who are born of his spirit. You who are built upon Christ,
the living stone. You are built up a spiritual
house. Not a carnal house, a spiritual
house. Look at this, an holy priesthood, an holy priesthood. Now that's my subject this morning.
You who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are before God in Christ
a holy priesthood. As priest of the most high God,
it is our privilege to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable
to God by Jesus Christ. Look at verse nine. You are a
chosen generation. a royal, a kingly priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people that you should show forth the
praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his
marvelous light. Now understand this teaching. We do not need, nor will we recognize,
any earthly priest of any kind. We do not need nor will we recognize
any earthly priest of any kind. That silly old man in Rome that
everybody references, who looks like some kind of effeminate
fellow dressed up in Masonic uniform, is no priest of God. He is a blasphemer who dares
call himself a priest of God. Those who dare set themselves
up as priests, mediators between God and men, do but blaspheme
God, for they take on themselves the role of Jesus Christ, who
alone is our intercessor before God. We need no earthly priest,
for we have him who is God's priest, seated yonder on the
throne in heaven, and he has made us priests unto God. so
that now by faith in him we draw nearer to God with confidence
through his blood and through his righteousness, acknowledging
and confessing our sin and rejoicing to know that he by his blood
has put away sin, and we do business with God. That's what the life
of the believer is. It's doing business with God
constantly. walking with God constantly,
drawing near to God constantly, serving God constantly. It is
the life of the believer every morning and every evening to
walk before God in the holy place. So that we come together in our
worship services as an assembly of saints. But we come here as
worshipers to this place to worship together. But this is not the
whole of our worship. In fact, Merle, this is just
a little bitty piece of it. This is just a continual inspiration
of our day-by-day worship. We come together again this evening
and we draw near to God as a body of believers, as the Lord has
commanded us and as our souls need for encouragement one with
another. But we go out tomorrow morning,
whatever it is we go to do as God's people, we go forth to
serve him, to walk with him. You go to your place of employment,
you're standing over there running whatever machine you run in that
print shop. You're not serving that employer, you're serving
God. working the machine for God's glory. You crawl under
the house and plumb it, you're not plumbing it for the man who's
paying you, you're plumbing it for the glory of God. So that
whatever we do, we do as God's servants, we do as God's priests,
we do as unto the Lord. That's what it is to live by
faith. It is to live continually before
God Almighty, trusting Jesus Christ alone for acceptance with
God, for God's Oh, for grace to constrain our hearts to live
constantly like that as priest under God. This is what I'm saying. My brother, my sister, you may
not be able to read or write, but if you're God's, you're a
priest under God. You may never stand in a pulpit.
You may never be able to stand and lead the congregation in
prayer, but if you are God's, you're God's priest. You dear
ladies, You're commanded by God to keep silent in the public
assembly of God's saints. That's another sermon, but you're
commanded of God to keep silent. So women don't preach. No. They
may pretend, but they don't. Women don't speak for God in
the worship of God. But you, too, belong to this
holy priesthood. You, too, serve God Almighty
in the place where God has put you, honoring him in the place
where he's put you. As in the Old Testament, there
was, I remind you, but one sin-atoning high priest, though the sons
of Aaron were priests in the service of God. Even so, the
Lord Jesus Christ alone is our sin-atoning high priest, and
we, the sons of God, are priests in him. Now, maybe your mind
doesn't work like mine does, but when I read that we are priests,
I want to know how. How did we become priests? How
do we serve God as priests? And that's what's told to us
here in Leviticus chapter 8. Let me show you several things
here. Now, we will come back to this chapter many times later,
but let me show you seven distinct things here by which many women
are made to be priests unto God. As the sons of Aaron were consecrated
priests here in Leviticus 8, so you and I who believe are
made God's priest. Number one, they are chosen. They're chosen. No man assumes
the priesthood to himself. No man makes himself a priest. No man puts himself in the order
of God's servants. Who are we to come and say, I
will serve God? I will be your servant. Oh, no. Oh, no. Only those who are chosen
of God will serve him. Look here in verse two. Take
Aaron and his sons. But why not Judah and his sons? Why not Manasseh and his sons?
Because God said take Aaron and his sons. That's why. Well, that's
not fair. Take it up with God. I don't
like that. Take it up with God. I'm here
to tell you that only those chosen, elected, and ordained by God
were allowed to serve as priest in that day, and only those chosen,
elected, and ordained by God shall serve him in his holy priesthood
in this day. You see, salvation, contrary
to popular opinion, does not begin with man's will. It begins
with God's will. You're not saved because you
decide to get saved. Men and women are saved because
God from eternity determined to save you. Salvation is not
by something you do for God, but something God does for you.
"'Tis not that I did choose thee, for Lord, that could not be.
This heart would still refuse thee, hadst thou not chosen me.
Thou from the sin that stained me washed and set me free, and
to this end ordained me. that I should live to thee. For
sovereign mercy called me, and taught my opening mind the world,
and helped enthrall me to heavenly glories blind. So my heart on
none before thee. For thy rich grace I thirst,
this knowing. If I love thee, thou must have
loved me first. Every believer acknowledges that.
Our Lord taught his disciples from the beginning, you didn't
choose me, I chose you. And we rejoice in the knowledge
of God's electing love. He chose us. He chose us. Why? Because he loved us. Why? Because he would. He chose us. All right. Secondly, every priest
is made a priest by divine cleansing. The priest must be cleansed before
God. Look at verse six. Moses brought
Aaron and his sons and washed them with the water. Moses, the
giver of the law. Moses, who represents the law. Moses, by whom the law is given
in the Old Testament. Moses, who stands for God's justice,
God's holiness, God's truth, God's righteousness. Moses takes
Aaron and his sons and washes them with water to make them
clean. Now that is one cleansing. It
was done with water, ceremonially. But throughout this chapter,
we see the cleansing done several times, not by water only, but
also by blood, by blood and by water. In the second verse, we're
told that they brought a bullock for a sin offering and two rams. The blood of the bullock was
poured out at the bottom of the altar. The blood of one of the
rams was sprinkled upon the altar. And thus the priests were cleansed
before God by water and by blood. As the hymn writer put it, let
the water and the blood from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power.
Now this typical ceremonial cleansing is full of instruction. Our cleansing
from sin was accomplished at Calvary. Please understand, there is nothing being done There
is nothing to be done by which sin can now be put away. All the sin that ever shall be
put away was once and for all put away in one day when Jesus
Christ, the Lord of glory, died as our substitute. With his own
blood, he entered in once into the holy place, listen now, having
obtained eternal redemption for us. But the atonement effectually
accomplished for sinners at Calvary must be applied to our hearts
experimentally by God the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality
of the word of the gospel. Though we were cleansed of all
sin before God when Christ died, we didn't know anything about
it. And so we came forth from the womb, children of wrath,
just like everybody else. We were born under a sentence
of condemnation in our consciences like everybody else. We had no
knowledge of what the Lord had done for us. Until one day, by
the power of His grace, God the Holy Spirit comes in fetching
grace. And it sprinkles our heart with
the blood. By the word of the gospel, we hear God speak to
our souls and peace is granted as we look to Christ in faith.
And we're cleansed now by the washing of the water by the word. Not cleansed from sin by the
waters of baptism. You've been baptized so many
times that every tadpole in the local pond knows you by your
first name. They're not going to wash away your sin. Baptism doesn't
do anything to put away sin. It may clean up your body if
the water is clean, but it won't put away sin. We have sins washed
away symbolically by baptism. We are buried in the waters of
baptism. As Christ died, we died. As he arose, we arose. To walk with him now in newness
of life, freed from sin, because his blood has put away our sins.
And this cleansing atonement of Christ must be personally
received. Look at verse 18, Leviticus 8. He brought the ram for the burnt
offering. And Aaron and his sons laid their
hand upon the head of the ram. And Moses killed it and sprinkled
the blood upon the altar round about. as Aaron and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the ram for burnt offering. So the sinner looks to Christ,
looking to Christ the Lamb of God, that one appointed of God
to be our substitute and our sacrifice. The sinner lays his
hands upon the head of Christ. and acknowledges and confesses
his sin. Pressing down the weight of his
soul upon God's sacrifice and says, this alone is my acceptance
with God. And thus, he personally receives
the cleansing of sin. Believing on the Son of God,
the burden is rolled away. I can't think of a better illustration
that John Bunyan gave in Pilgrim's Process. You who've read the
book will remember, and you who haven't read it, get it and read
it. It's good reading. Bunyan describes himself as a
pilgrim, and he has a heavy, heavy load on his back. And he
takes that heavy, heavy load of guilt That oppressive load
of sin, that condemning, condemning load of a guilty conscience.
And he goes here and there looking for some relief, and he finds
none. He goes to Mount Sinai, and Mount
Sinai gives him no relief, because Mount Sinai only makes the load
heavier, pronouncing his guilt all the more severe. And at last,
he went to Evangelist, and Evangelist said, Go to Calvary. And he went
up to Mount Calvary. And it looked to him, the Lamb
of God, hanging on the cursed tree. And he said, as I looked,
my burden fell off my back and rolled into the abyss of forgetfulness
and had been gone forever. You understand what I'm saying? We must, if we would be God's
priest, lay our hands upon the head of God's sacrifice, believing
on the Son of God. He said, well, I don't feel my
sins taken away. Feeling's got nothing to do with
it. I don't sense my guilt gone. Sensing's got nothing to do with
it. Believe on the Son of God and God declares your sins are
gone. They're gone. Another thing that
strikes me about this cleansing is that they had to be cleansed
every day. They came to the labor and washed their hands. every
day as they went about their business. And so the believer,
day by day, goes to the Word of God and asks the Savior, as
he did in John 13, to wash his feet and wash his hands in his
Word to serve him. Thirdly, these men were made
priests by special clothing. The Lord's priests are all clothed
with exactly the same garments. Look at verse 13. No matter how clean they were,
these men had to have clothes. They had to have a suitable attire,
or they could not appear before the Lord. Now remember, in verses
7 through 12, Aaron's clothing is described. But Aaron, the
high priest was distinctly arrayed with gorgeous garments the other
priests never wore. But all the sons of Aaron were
clothed alike. None of them had even a thread
of their own stitching. The garments were made for them,
given to them, and put on them by Moses. Look at verse 13. Moses brought Aaron's sons and
put coats upon them and girded them with girdles. and put bonnets
upon them as the Lord commanded Moses. Every priest had a coat
put on him. A coat like the robe that was
worn by our Lord Jesus Christ. One piece woven from top to bottom
without a seam. And that one piece hanging over
his shoulders drapes over his whole body so as to cover the
priest entirely. You know what the coat represents,
don't you? It is the righteousness of Christ imputed to us and given
to us. The prodigal comes home and the
father says, bring the best robe. Put it on him. Bring the best robe. The robe
of the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ and put it on him. Doesn't even say put it on yourself.
Bring the robe and put it on him. The robe's already made. Perfect fit. Fifty long. Works just fine. Made just for
me. The righteousness of Christ made
for me. Had been put on me. And now Jesus,
thy blood and righteousness, my beauty are my glorious dress. Misflaming words with these array,
bold shall I lift up my head. And every priest also was girded
with a girdle. In Revelation 1, we're told that
our Lord Jesus had his pats girt about with a golden girdle. And
we are given the girdle of his grace. Now, for you young folks
who might be smiling inside, I don't blame you. I used to
do the same thing. Girdles? You may have seen Heaven Forbid
Your Mama try to get in one of those things. Girdles? What are we doing wearing girdles?
Well, that's not what it's talking about. It's talking about a broad
waist belt. with which the priest would gird
up the garments, those long flowing garments, and by which they would
be strengthened as well to do their work as they took the heave
offerings before the Lord. So that it was both a convenience
and a source of strength. So that, for example, if you
fellows are doing a weight lifting These days, they do so carefully.
When we were boys, we didn't have anybody to tell us to do
things right. If we had, we wouldn't have paid any attention. But
now you have waist girdles, a belt tied around your waist so that
when you pick something heavy up, you have strength here to
pick it up. This is what he's talking about.
These were girdles worn by men in war. When they would go to
battle, they would girt themselves about with a strong girdle. And
so God's priests are given in God's grace strength with which
to serve him. As your days demand, shall your
strength ever be. And each priest was given a bonnet,
a turban. These turbans distinguish the
priest from other men. The turbans were given for glory
and beauty. And this too speaks of Christ.
We're not merely accepted, but beloved. Not merely washed, but
made admirable. Not merely freed from condemnation,
but given perfect beauty. Our Lord Jesus said, Thou wast
exceeding beautiful. Thy beauty was perfect through
my comeliness that I put upon thee. So the Lord Jesus looks
at every saved sinner. And he says what I could never
imagine him saying if it weren't written in this book. This is
what he said, Bob Duff, to you. Listen now. Thou art all fair,
my love. There's no spot in thee. Thou hast ravished my heart. The Son of God ravished with
us. The Son of God beholding himself
in us is raised with our beauty so that we stand before God in
the perfection of holiness with such perfection, with such completion
that God himself is attracted to us by the beauty of Christ
given us. And these priests had to have
an anointing. Look at verse 30. Moses took
the anointing oil and of the blood which was upon the altar
and sprinkled it upon Aaron and upon his garments and upon his
sons and upon his son's garments and sanctified Aaron and his
garments and his sons and his son's garments with it. The Lord Jesus, of course, as
our high priest, was anointed God gave him the Spirit without
measure. And every believer has this anointing
of God. You have an unction, John said,
from the Holy One. You have an anointing that abides
on you. I know we live in this day of
charismatic tomfoolery, and folks talk about the unction of the
Holy Spirit and the anointing of the Spirit. giving you goosebumps
up and down your spine and making you tingle from your toes to
the top of your head and cause you to fall out on the floor
and roll around and slobber and speak in some kind of gibberish
and act like an idiot. That's not what it's talking
about. That's not what it's talking about. Not talking about that
at all. Not talking about some imaginary
second work of grace that comes on you if you're good enough,
holy enough, pray enough, work up enough. No, no. No, no. This
is talking about a work of free grace. This is talking about
the experience of sanctification. In your bulletin, you have the
article this morning on sanctification. We're sanctified by God's election
in eternity, sanctified by the blood of Christ at Calvary. But
in experience, we're sanctified by the regenerating work of God,
the Holy Spirit. When God Almighty comes in saving
grace, this is what it does for a sinner. He puts a holy nature
in you. He puts something in you you
didn't have before. He gives you a heart that loves
Him, a will that follows Him, a soul that clings to Him. He
puts in you a new man, that which is born of God, that holy thing. It's called the anointing of
the Spirit. Now, please don't misunderstand
me. I do not suggest there are no special fillings of the Spirit,
demonstrations of divine power, Manifestations of God's presence
by which we are enabled to carry out our day-by-day functions
as God's priests. There are. Without the Holy Spirit,
we can't preach, we can't sing, we can't praise, we can't pray,
we can't do anything. Without the Spirit of God, we
can't call Christ Lord. But we recognize that all God's
people are given His Spirit. This is the heirloom. Christ
gave to his people. This is the promise of the covenant.
The seed of Abraham received the spirit of his grace. Read
Galatians chapter 3. Thank God for the anointing of
the spirit he's given you and pray for him to grant you continual
filling of his spirit. Now then, the priests also were
made priests by personal consecration. Every priest is consecrated to the Lord. Look
at verse 22. And he brought the other ram,
the ram of consecration. And Aaron and his sons laid their
hands upon the head of the ram, and he slew it as Moses took
the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear,
and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe
of his right foot. And he brought Abram's sons,
and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and
upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes
of their right feet." How many times you hear people,
and we're guilty, we make statements that just aren't so. We say,
well, boy, he's a praying Christian, as if there were some who didn't
pray. Folks say, well, he's a consecrated believer. Merle, there's no such
thing as a believer who's not consecrated. There's no such
thing. Oh, I know lots of believers
who are consecrated. No, you don't. You know lots of religious
people who are consecrated, not believers. Believers are men
and women who are priests, consecrated to God. They've got blood right
here. They're right here. the symbol
of honor and the power. Christ sits on the right hand
of the majesty on high. Anointed ears, anointed with
blood, so that these ears consecrated to God hear his voice. They hear
what nobody else does. They hear God speak in his word.
They hear God speak in providence. They hear God speak by the gospel.
You sitting here, some of you here, you've been hearing God
talking to you. And others of y'all been doing
is listening to this fellow talk, who can't talk so good. The difference,
consecrated ears. Got some blood right here, right
here. On the thumb, the great thumb
of their right hand. Power and honor. The hand, consecrated
to God. instrument of service, instrument
of labor. So you put your hands to work.
These hands consecrated by blood. My God, I'm yours. I've been redeemed. Is it true or not? Oh, I know
it's true. Is it true in your experience
or is it not? God's priest, have their hands consecrated to him.
Their labor is his, their lives are his. And blood, right here,
on the great toe of the right foot. The ear symbolizes hearing,
submission, bowing to God. The hand symbolizes labor and
strength to serve him. The feet imply travel, walking,
standing. And we who are gods, as we go
through this world, are consecrated to him. Our lives are his. You're not your own. You're bought
with a price. These feet, consecrated of God,
carry a man to the house of God, never away from it. They carry
a man in the way of obedience, never in the way of rebellion.
They pursue the cause of Christ, not the interest of self. And
if you look at verse 32, now listen, Anything not consecrated
to God and used for God must be destroyed. Anything. Anything. One more thing. Turn back to
2 Peter, if you will. I'm sorry, 1 Peter. I'll wrap
this up. All this holy priesthood offers up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God by Christ Jesus. You see that in verse five? Ye
also as living stones are built up a spiritual house and holy
priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
by Christ Jesus. We come to God through the blood
of Christ. We offer no sacrifice for atonement. We offer nothing
to God by which we attempt to appease his wrath. We offer nothing
to God by which we attempt to win his favor. We come to God
by faith in Christ. His blood has appeased God's
wrath for me. God has no reason to be angry
with me. Oh, my soul reks for the blessed, blessed fact that
is. God Almighty has every reason to smile on us in Christ. Every reason. We don't offer
him something with which to appease his wrath. We don't offer him
something with which to win his favor. For that we offer Christ
alone. But we offer him sacrifices.
Oh, yes. We first sacrifice to him ourselves. Paul said the Corinthians gave
themselves to the Lord, gave themselves to us too. willing
sacrifices, voluntary. Offering him ourselves, we offer
our God the sacrifice of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving. Paul
calls it the calves of our lips. We extol him. Let those who are the redeemed
of the Lord say the Lord be Extol me, God be praised. We offer sacrifice of our possessions
to the cause of Christ in the gospel. No, we don't tithe. God's people don't pay tax. Scared
to death, God's going to take it out of their hide. God's people aren't mercenaries.
Bobby, we offer him gifts freely because we want to. Oh, what
an honor, what a privilege. God Almighty is willing to take
my two fish and five pieces of bread. God Almighty is willing
to take something from these hands, something from me, from
me, and use it for His glory and His service. and the good
of his people. And these priests offer their
sacrifices voluntarily. That's the reason around here.
I'm not going to browbeat folks. I'm just not going to. I'm not
going to. You see, I know that if James
Jordan wants to worship God, he will. And if he doesn't want to worship
him, I might beat him into coming to church, but I'm not going
to beat him into worshiping God. If the fellow wants to give, he'll
give. And if he doesn't want to give, I might terrorize him
into putting some money in an offering plate, but he's not
going to give anything to God. Understand the difference? God's
people worship Him freely. We've been made priests unto
God. We get to serve in the holy place
all the time. Now, you who are without Christ,
hear me. There is one priest sitting yonder in heaven in human
flesh by whom alone you can come to God. That priest is Jesus
Christ the Lord. The sacrifice is Him, His blood,
His righteousness. My faith doth lay her hand on
that dear head of thine, and here, a guilty sinner, Lord,
I stand. and confess my sin. That's it. Come to God, believing
on his Son. And for you who are God's people,
let us now and constantly consecrate ourselves to God. Oh God, take I'm not alone. I've been bought
with a price.
