I want to spend my life
00:00:01.33\00:00:07.30
Mending broken people
00:00:07.34\00:00:12.17
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.21\00:00:18.48
Removing pain
00:00:18.51\00:00:23.45
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.49\00:00:29.66
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.69\00:00:34.23
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.30\00:00:40.07
Mending broken people
00:00:40.10\00:00:45.47
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.51\00:00:50.91
Mending broken people
00:00:50.95\00:00:55.85
Sing a song
00:01:19.97\00:01:22.81
Spread some cheer
00:01:22.84\00:01:25.85
There are sad and
lonely people every where
00:01:25.88\00:01:31.65
Be a friend
00:01:31.69\00:01:34.39
Show some love
00:01:34.42\00:01:37.43
It will lift them from
the dungeons of despair
00:01:37.49\00:01:43.60
Show a little bit
of love and kindness
00:01:43.63\00:01:46.67
Never go around
with hatred's blindness
00:01:46.70\00:01:49.24
Take a little
time to reach for joy
00:01:49.27\00:01:51.81
And wear a happy face
00:01:51.84\00:01:54.74
Sing a little bit
when the days are dreary
00:01:54.78\00:01:57.48
Give a little help
to a friend that's weary
00:01:57.51\00:02:00.32
That's the way to make
the world a happy place
00:02:00.35\00:02:07.89
Offer help
00:02:07.92\00:02:10.76
Bring some hope
00:02:10.83\00:02:13.43
To the fainting and
discouraged on life's road
00:02:13.50\00:02:18.87
See a need
00:02:18.90\00:02:21.60
Lend a hand
00:02:21.64\00:02:24.54
There are many who are crossed
00:02:24.57\00:02:27.28
Beneath life's load
00:02:27.34\00:02:30.85
So show a little
bit of love and kindness
00:02:30.91\00:02:33.82
Never go around
with hatred's blindness
00:02:33.88\00:02:36.48
Take a little
time to reach for joy
00:02:36.52\00:02:38.99
And wear a happy face
00:02:39.02\00:02:41.82
Sing a little bit
when the days are dreary
00:02:41.86\00:02:44.66
Give a little help
to a friend that's weary
00:02:44.69\00:02:47.46
That's the way to make
the world a happy place
00:02:47.50\00:02:54.77
Be a light
00:02:54.80\00:02:57.24
Show the way
00:02:57.27\00:03:00.28
Be a light within
night for those who stray
00:03:00.31\00:03:05.51
Speak a word
00:03:05.55\00:03:08.18
Just a loving word
00:03:08.22\00:03:11.29
That will bring them
to walk the narrow way
00:03:11.32\00:03:17.43
So show a little
bit of love and kindness
00:03:17.46\00:03:20.33
Never go around
with hatred's blindness
00:03:20.40\00:03:22.90
Take a little
time to reach for joy
00:03:22.93\00:03:25.43
And wear a happy face
00:03:25.47\00:03:28.30
Sing a little bit
when the days are dreary
00:03:28.34\00:03:31.11
Give a little help
to a friend that's weary
00:03:31.14\00:03:33.84
That's the way to make
the world a happy place
00:03:33.88\00:03:37.15
Okay, I'm going to play now.
00:03:37.21\00:03:38.55
You've got to show a
little bit of love and kindness
00:03:57.77\00:04:01.64
Never go around
with hatred's blindness
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.41
Take a little
time to reach for joy
00:04:04.44\00:04:07.01
And wear a happy face
00:04:07.08\00:04:09.61
Sing a little bit
when the days are dreary
00:04:09.64\00:04:12.51
Give a little help
to a friend that's weary
00:04:12.55\00:04:15.12
That's the way to make
the world a happy place
00:04:15.15\00:04:19.69
Oh, that's the way to
make the world a happy place
00:04:19.72\00:04:27.40
All right, that's a
great little formula,
00:04:34.87\00:04:36.77
a recipe for making
the world a happy place.
00:04:36.81\00:04:42.04
And here is another happy song.
00:04:42.08\00:04:43.61
Oh, happiness is
to know the Savior
00:04:56.16\00:04:59.86
Living a life within His favor
00:04:59.89\00:05:02.86
Having a change in my behavior
00:05:02.90\00:05:05.90
Happiness is the Lord
00:05:05.93\00:05:10.24
Happiness is a new creation
00:05:10.31\00:05:13.48
Jesus and me in close relation
00:05:13.51\00:05:16.51
Having a part in His salvation
00:05:16.54\00:05:19.48
Happiness is the Lord
00:05:19.51\00:05:21.92
Real joy is mine
00:05:21.95\00:05:25.12
No matter if teardrops start
00:05:25.15\00:05:28.16
I've found the secret
00:05:28.19\00:05:31.06
It's Jesus in my heart
00:05:31.09\00:05:36.06
Happiness is to be forgiven
00:05:36.10\00:05:39.07
Living a life
that's worth a livin'
00:05:39.10\00:05:42.04
Taking a trip
that leads to heaven
00:05:42.07\00:05:45.11
Happiness is the Lord
00:05:45.14\00:05:49.18
Real joy is mine
00:05:49.21\00:05:52.25
No matter if teardrops start
00:05:52.28\00:05:57.05
I've found the secret
00:05:57.09\00:05:59.85
It's Jesus in my heart
00:05:59.89\00:06:05.06
Happiness is to be forgiven
00:06:05.09\00:06:08.06
Living a life
that's worth a livin'
00:06:08.10\00:06:11.17
Taking a trip
that leads to heaven
00:06:11.20\00:06:14.27
Happiness is the Lord
00:06:14.30\00:06:18.64
Happiness is the Lord
00:06:18.67\00:06:23.21
Oh, great.
00:06:36.59\00:06:37.93
You know there's
nothing like a happy song
00:06:37.96\00:06:40.13
and so I'm going to
sing some happy songs,
00:06:40.20\00:06:43.06
and I'm going to sing some songs
00:06:43.10\00:06:45.47
that are maybe not so happy
00:06:45.50\00:06:46.84
but they're songs that
make you think about life.
00:06:46.90\00:06:50.91
And most importantly,
00:06:50.94\00:06:53.58
the songs that
make us think about
00:06:53.64\00:06:55.91
the joy of serving Christ
00:06:55.94\00:06:58.61
and the joy that His
forgiveness brings to us.
00:06:58.65\00:07:02.65
So here's the song
that is a favorite of mine
00:07:02.68\00:07:06.99
"Where no one stands alone".
00:07:07.02\00:07:08.69
Once I stood in the night
00:07:26.34\00:07:30.85
With my head bowed low
00:07:30.88\00:07:35.15
In the darkness
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.69
As black as could be
00:07:37.72\00:07:44.03
And my heart felt alone
00:07:44.06\00:07:48.70
And I cried Oh, Lord
00:07:48.73\00:07:54.84
Don't hide your face
00:07:54.87\00:08:00.74
From me
00:08:00.81\00:08:05.38
Hold my hand all the way
00:08:05.41\00:08:11.29
Every hour every day
00:08:11.32\00:08:16.49
From here to the great
00:08:16.52\00:08:21.26
Unknown
00:08:21.30\00:08:27.04
Take my hand
00:08:27.07\00:08:32.47
Let me stand
00:08:32.51\00:08:37.25
Where no one
00:08:37.28\00:08:39.88
Stands alone
00:08:39.91\00:08:46.05
Like a king I may live
00:08:51.99\00:08:56.26
In a palace so tall
00:08:56.30\00:09:00.60
With great riches
00:09:00.67\00:09:03.00
To call my very own
00:09:03.04\00:09:09.81
But I don't know a thing
00:09:09.84\00:09:13.78
In this whole wide world
00:09:13.85\00:09:18.85
That's worse
00:09:18.89\00:09:21.22
Than being alone
00:09:21.26\00:09:28.63
Hold my hand
00:09:28.66\00:09:31.80
All the way
00:09:31.83\00:09:34.30
Every hour every day
00:09:34.34\00:09:38.67
From here to the great
00:09:38.71\00:09:43.11
Unknown
00:09:43.14\00:09:49.42
Take my hand
00:09:49.45\00:09:54.26
And let me stand
00:09:54.29\00:10:00.13
Where no one
00:10:00.20\00:10:03.26
Stands alone
00:10:03.33\00:10:10.07
If you have a tendency
00:10:32.26\00:10:36.50
to feel like you're all alone,
00:10:36.53\00:10:40.77
I encourage you
during this program
00:10:40.80\00:10:43.44
to just stop where you are
00:10:43.47\00:10:45.61
and take a moment to
fasten your eyes on the Lord.
00:10:45.64\00:10:51.35
If you know these
songs, feel free to sing along,
00:10:51.38\00:10:54.42
let the Spirit just
encourage you through the words
00:10:54.45\00:10:58.65
in the messages of these songs.
00:10:58.69\00:11:00.46
O soul, are you
weary and troubled?
00:11:22.48\00:11:29.68
No light in the
darkness you see?
00:11:29.72\00:11:37.03
There's light for
a look at the Savior
00:11:37.09\00:11:44.20
And life more abundant
00:11:44.23\00:11:48.50
And free
00:11:48.54\00:11:53.44
Turn your eyes
00:11:53.51\00:11:57.81
Upon Jesus
00:11:57.85\00:12:02.72
Look full
00:12:02.75\00:12:04.45
In His wonderful face
00:12:04.49\00:12:11.36
And the things of earth
00:12:11.39\00:12:15.66
Will grow strangely dim
00:12:15.70\00:12:22.24
In the light of His glory
00:12:22.27\00:12:28.24
And grace
00:12:28.28\00:12:32.78
Through death
into life everlasting
00:12:36.79\00:12:43.99
He passed and
we follow Him there
00:12:44.03\00:12:51.20
O'er us sin no
more hath dominion
00:12:51.23\00:12:58.41
For more than conqu'rors we are!
00:12:58.44\00:13:05.48
Turn your eyes
00:13:09.52\00:13:12.29
Upon Jesus
00:13:12.32\00:13:17.13
Look full
00:13:17.16\00:13:18.86
In His wonderful face
00:13:18.89\00:13:25.50
And the things of earth
00:13:25.53\00:13:30.27
Will grow strangely dim
00:13:30.31\00:13:35.58
In the light of His glory
00:13:35.61\00:13:41.58
And grace
00:13:41.62\00:13:47.66
And I think you will
love this special promise.
00:13:47.69\00:13:51.33
His Word shall not fail you
00:13:51.36\00:13:54.30
He promised
00:13:54.30\00:13:56.70
Just believe Him
and all will be well
00:13:56.73\00:14:02.67
Then go to a world that is dying
00:14:02.70\00:14:09.48
His perfect
salvation you want to tell!
00:14:09.51\00:14:17.39
Just turn your eyes
00:14:17.42\00:14:22.92
Upon Jesus
00:14:22.96\00:14:27.83
Look full
00:14:27.86\00:14:29.50
In His wonderful face
00:14:29.53\00:14:36.00
And the things of earth
00:14:36.04\00:14:39.44
Will grow strangely dim
00:14:39.47\00:14:47.08
In the light of His glory
00:14:47.12\00:14:53.86
And grace
00:14:53.92\00:15:00.23
Sing along.
00:16:03.96\00:16:05.29
All hail the
power of Jesus' name!
00:16:05.33\00:16:08.80
Let angels prostrate fall
00:16:08.83\00:16:12.30
Bring forth the royal diadem
00:16:12.33\00:16:16.37
And crown Him Lord of all
00:16:16.40\00:16:22.31
Bring forth the royal diadem
00:16:22.34\00:16:26.95
And crown Him
00:16:27.02\00:16:29.38
Lord of all!
00:16:29.42\00:16:35.32
Let every tongue and every tribe
00:16:35.36\00:16:39.76
Responsive to His call
00:16:39.79\00:16:43.83
To Him all majesty ascribe
00:16:43.87\00:16:48.17
And crown Him
00:16:48.20\00:16:50.57
Lord of all to Him
00:16:50.61\00:16:55.74
All majesty ascribe
00:16:55.78\00:16:59.05
And crown Him
00:16:59.08\00:17:01.62
Lord of all!
00:17:01.65\00:17:08.09
Crown Him with many crowns
00:17:12.36\00:17:16.26
The lamb upon the throne
00:17:16.30\00:17:20.14
Hark! How the
heav'nly anthem drowns
00:17:20.17\00:17:24.24
All music but its own!
00:17:24.31\00:17:28.31
Awake, my soul, and sing
00:17:28.34\00:17:32.35
Of Him who died for thee
00:17:32.38\00:17:36.42
And hail him as
thy matchless King
00:17:36.45\00:17:41.26
Through all eternity
00:17:41.29\00:17:47.10
Crown Him the Lord of life
00:17:51.80\00:17:55.40
Who triumphed o'er the grave
00:17:55.44\00:17:59.44
And rose
victorious in the strife
00:17:59.47\00:18:03.51
For those He came to save
00:18:03.58\00:18:07.75
His glories now we sing
00:18:07.78\00:18:11.95
Of Him who reigns on high
00:18:11.99\00:18:16.12
Who died eternal life to bring
00:18:16.16\00:18:20.83
And lives that death may die
00:18:20.86\00:18:25.07
He lives that death may die
00:18:25.10\00:18:32.94
Yes, He does.
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.48
He lives that death may die.
00:18:42.52\00:18:44.95
I love what the psalmist said,
00:18:44.99\00:18:47.16
"The Lord is my
strength and shield.
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.86
I trust Him with all my heart.
00:18:49.89\00:18:52.13
He helps me and my
heart is filled with joy.
00:18:52.16\00:18:55.10
I burst out in
songs of thanksgiving."
00:18:55.13\00:18:59.27
It's a good thing to do.
00:18:59.30\00:19:02.50
If you find yourself
bursting out with joy,
00:19:02.54\00:19:06.61
just sing along.
00:19:06.64\00:19:09.84
Joy that sustains
you when everything fails
00:19:09.88\00:19:14.15
Comes from the Father in Heaven
00:19:14.18\00:19:18.02
Joy that will lift
you to Heavenly realms
00:19:18.05\00:19:22.16
Comes from the Father in Heaven
00:19:22.19\00:19:26.59
He gives joy
00:19:26.63\00:19:31.10
Joyful of glory
00:19:31.13\00:19:33.13
Jesus is joy
00:19:33.17\00:19:34.94
Such joy
00:19:34.97\00:19:39.17
Oh, what a savior
00:19:39.21\00:19:41.24
Jesus is joy
00:19:41.28\00:19:45.18
Jesus was
hanging on Calvary's tree
00:19:49.95\00:19:53.96
Sent from the Father in Heaven
00:19:53.99\00:19:57.53
He was dying so
sinners like me could go free
00:19:57.56\00:20:02.03
A gift from the Father in Heaven
00:20:02.06\00:20:07.00
So if you are
looking for this kind of joy
00:20:07.04\00:20:10.91
The gift has already been given
00:20:10.94\00:20:14.54
It's a peace that the winds
of this world can't destroy
00:20:14.58\00:20:18.95
Salvation has
come down from Heaven
00:20:18.98\00:20:23.45
He gives joy
00:20:23.49\00:20:27.82
Joyful of glory
00:20:27.86\00:20:29.82
Jesus is joy
00:20:29.86\00:20:31.39
Such joy
00:20:31.43\00:20:35.56
Oh, what a savior
00:20:35.60\00:20:37.53
Jesus is joy
00:20:37.57\00:20:39.53
Oh, what a savior
00:20:39.57\00:20:43.37
Jesus is joy
00:20:43.44\00:20:50.48
Do you know the
joy of being forgiven.
00:20:59.65\00:21:03.53
You know, I
received a phone call,
00:21:03.56\00:21:05.73
it was a voicemail
00:21:05.76\00:21:07.10
because I didn't
recognize the number,
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.56
I let the phone ring
and they left a message.
00:21:08.60\00:21:12.13
And it was some
company offering me forgiveness
00:21:12.17\00:21:14.97
for a student loan.
00:21:15.00\00:21:18.51
And I would have
been elated at that
00:21:18.54\00:21:22.81
because to be
given the forgiveness
00:21:22.84\00:21:26.15
of any financial burden,
00:21:26.18\00:21:28.35
what a relief.
00:21:28.38\00:21:30.89
But I was never a student.
00:21:30.95\00:21:34.02
And so either this was
just, they had the wrong number
00:21:34.06\00:21:38.73
or it was just
a random voicemail
00:21:38.76\00:21:42.20
that they were leaving
anybody so that they could...
00:21:42.23\00:21:45.93
I don't know what
they were trying to prove.
00:21:45.97\00:21:47.84
But it was interesting to me,
00:21:47.87\00:21:50.27
have you ever been
offered forgiveness
00:21:50.34\00:21:52.27
for something that you
weren't guilty of having done
00:21:52.31\00:21:55.24
and so you didn't
need the forgiveness.
00:21:55.28\00:21:57.88
Well, as
Christians, we certainly,
00:21:57.91\00:22:00.92
there was a time when
we stood full of blame
00:22:00.95\00:22:06.99
before the Lord and
we needed forgiveness.
00:22:07.06\00:22:11.66
Everyday I have to go
00:22:11.69\00:22:13.06
and ask
forgiveness from the Father
00:22:13.09\00:22:15.26
and the accuser of the brethren
00:22:15.30\00:22:19.23
as the Bible refers to Satan.
00:22:19.27\00:22:22.57
He is the type to
give that phone call
00:22:22.60\00:22:25.27
even when you
haven't done things
00:22:25.31\00:22:26.74
and he'll blame
you for the things
00:22:26.78\00:22:28.34
that you did in the past
00:22:28.38\00:22:29.71
that are already unto the blood,
00:22:29.74\00:22:31.71
already forgiven.
00:22:31.75\00:22:34.45
And I like to keep
that voicemail on my phone
00:22:34.48\00:22:37.35
just for times like that
00:22:37.39\00:22:38.82
and I go back to that
voicemail and listen to it
00:22:38.85\00:22:41.89
and remind myself, I
have no student loan,
00:22:41.92\00:22:45.03
I have no guilt
00:22:45.06\00:22:46.56
because before the
Father I am blameless.
00:22:46.59\00:22:49.13
The Bible says,
"There is therefore
00:22:49.16\00:22:50.50
now no condemnation..."
00:22:50.53\00:22:51.87
And I'm going to
read that in a little bit.
00:22:51.90\00:22:53.57
But I'm going to
first read this in Psalm 32
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.30
that talks about
the joy of forgiveness.
00:22:56.34\00:23:00.48
And it says, "Blessed is the one
00:23:00.51\00:23:02.54
whose
transgressions are forgiven..."
00:23:02.58\00:23:04.08
Do you mind if I put
on my glasses right here.
00:23:04.15\00:23:06.28
"Blessed is the one whose
transgressions are forgiven,
00:23:06.31\00:23:09.78
whose sins are covered.
00:23:09.82\00:23:11.49
Blessed is the one whose sin
00:23:11.52\00:23:12.85
the Lord does not
count against them
00:23:12.89\00:23:14.86
and in whose
Spirit is no deceit.
00:23:14.89\00:23:17.36
When I kept silent,
00:23:17.43\00:23:18.76
my bones wasted away through
my groaning all day long.
00:23:18.79\00:23:22.16
For day and night
your hand was heavy on me.
00:23:22.20\00:23:25.27
My strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer,
00:23:25.30\00:23:28.54
then I
acknowledged my sin to you
00:23:28.57\00:23:30.57
and did not
cover up my iniquity.
00:23:30.61\00:23:32.94
And I said, 'I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord
00:23:32.97\00:23:36.11
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
00:23:36.14\00:23:39.28
Therefore let all
the faithful pray to you
00:23:39.31\00:23:41.92
while you may be found.
00:23:41.95\00:23:43.28
Surely the rising of the mighty
waters will not reach them.
00:23:43.35\00:23:46.72
You are my hiding place,
00:23:46.76\00:23:48.46
You will protect me from trouble
00:23:48.49\00:23:50.09
and surround me with
songs of deliverance.
00:23:50.13\00:23:53.06
I will instruct
you and teach you
00:23:53.09\00:23:54.83
in the ways you should go.
00:23:54.83\00:23:56.50
I will counsel you
with my loving eye on you,'"
00:23:56.53\00:23:59.27
that's what the Lord says.
00:23:59.30\00:24:01.24
"Do not be the like
the horse or the mule
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.34
which have no understanding,
00:24:03.41\00:24:05.34
but must be
controlled by bit and bridle
00:24:05.37\00:24:07.48
or they will not come to you.
00:24:07.51\00:24:09.58
Many are the woes of the wicked,
00:24:09.61\00:24:12.05
but Lord's unfailing
love surrounds the one
00:24:12.08\00:24:14.92
who trusts in him.
00:24:14.95\00:24:17.09
Rejoice in the Lord
00:24:17.12\00:24:18.45
and be glad, you righteous,
00:24:18.49\00:24:20.69
sing, all you who
are upright in heart."
00:24:20.76\00:24:26.70
That's the joy of forgiveness.
00:24:26.73\00:24:29.00
So again, if the
devil ever comes around
00:24:29.03\00:24:32.13
accusing you of sins
that are already in the past.
00:24:32.17\00:24:37.27
Just, you can even delete
that message if you want to.
00:24:37.31\00:24:40.38
I give you permission
to delete that voicemail.
00:24:40.44\00:24:44.65
Here's the great little
song about if you want joy,
00:24:44.68\00:24:48.12
just let Jesus
come into your heart.
00:24:48.15\00:24:50.05
If you want joy, real joy
00:25:13.01\00:25:18.08
Wonderful joy
00:25:18.11\00:25:23.32
Let Jesus come in
00:25:23.39\00:25:28.36
Into your heart
00:25:28.39\00:25:33.16
If you want joy, real joy
00:25:33.19\00:25:38.13
Wonderful joy
00:25:38.17\00:25:42.94
Let Jesus come in
00:25:42.97\00:25:47.68
Into your heart
00:25:47.71\00:25:52.58
Your sin He'll wash away
00:25:52.61\00:25:57.49
Your night He'll turn today
00:25:57.55\00:26:02.69
Your life
00:26:02.72\00:26:05.19
He'll make over anew
00:26:05.23\00:26:12.80
If you want joy, real joy
00:26:12.83\00:26:18.14
Wonderful joy
00:26:18.17\00:26:23.11
Let Jesus come in
00:26:23.14\00:26:28.35
Into your heart
00:26:28.38\00:26:32.25
If you want joy, real joy
00:26:53.74\00:26:59.65
Wonderful joy
00:26:59.68\00:27:05.09
Let Jesus come
00:27:05.12\00:27:09.42
Into your heart
00:27:09.46\00:27:13.83
James says, "Dear,
brothers and sisters,
00:27:17.80\00:27:20.64
when troubles of any
kind come into your way,
00:27:20.67\00:27:23.91
consider an
opportunity for great joy.
00:27:23.94\00:27:27.28
For you know that
when your faith is tested,
00:27:27.31\00:27:29.84
your endurance
has a chance to grow."
00:27:29.88\00:27:31.95
So let it grow,
00:27:31.98\00:27:33.62
for when your
endurance is fully developed,
00:27:33.65\00:27:36.05
you will be
perfect and complete,
00:27:36.08\00:27:38.02
needing nothing.
00:27:38.05\00:27:39.99
Isn't it great that every
little that we go through,
00:27:40.06\00:27:43.36
God gives us an
opportunity to grow.
00:27:43.43\00:27:45.69
He gives us an opportunity
to develop that character
00:27:45.73\00:27:49.20
so that we can be more like Him.
00:27:49.23\00:27:50.83
Every little
detail about our life,
00:27:50.87\00:27:54.27
God sees as an opportunity
for us to be more Christ like.
00:27:54.30\00:27:58.81
I love that about the Lord
00:27:58.84\00:28:00.41
because He has
our best intention
00:28:00.44\00:28:05.11
and our best purpose in mind
00:28:05.15\00:28:08.42
because He is making us
like Him and for His glory.
00:28:08.45\00:28:12.72
You see from the top of my
head to the sole of my feet,
00:28:12.75\00:28:17.73
I was born to serve
Him and to give Him glory.
00:28:17.76\00:28:23.77
From the dust of the earth
00:28:23.80\00:28:29.47
My God created man
00:28:29.50\00:28:33.91
His breath gave man
00:28:33.98\00:28:38.91
A living soul
00:28:38.95\00:28:44.49
For God so loved this world
00:28:44.52\00:28:50.53
That He gave His only Son
00:28:50.56\00:28:55.40
And that is why
00:28:55.43\00:29:01.04
I love Him so
00:29:01.07\00:29:06.41
For I was made in His likeness
00:29:06.44\00:29:13.45
Created in His image
00:29:13.48\00:29:18.19
For I was born
00:29:18.22\00:29:23.46
To serve the Lord
00:29:23.49\00:29:29.50
And I can't deny Him
00:29:29.53\00:29:34.84
I will always walk beside Him
00:29:34.87\00:29:39.77
For I was born
00:29:39.81\00:29:45.31
To serve the Lord
00:29:45.35\00:29:51.52
These hands were made
00:29:57.46\00:30:00.70
To help my neighbor
00:30:00.73\00:30:06.90
My eyes were made
00:30:06.94\00:30:10.67
To read God's word
00:30:10.71\00:30:16.24
My feet were made
00:30:16.28\00:30:20.58
Just to walk in His footsteps
00:30:20.62\00:30:24.99
You seek my body
00:30:25.02\00:30:27.96
Is the temple of the Lord
00:30:27.99\00:30:34.86
For I was made in His likeness
00:30:34.93\00:30:40.67
Created in His image
00:30:40.70\00:30:44.97
For I was born
00:30:45.01\00:30:49.38
To serve the Lord
00:30:49.41\00:30:54.98
And I can't deny Him
00:30:55.02\00:31:00.99
I will always walk beside Him
00:31:01.02\00:31:06.19
For I was born
00:31:06.23\00:31:12.00
To serve the Lord
00:31:12.03\00:31:17.21
For I was born
00:31:54.78\00:32:01.82
To serve the Lord
00:32:01.85\00:32:08.39
Never forget your calling.
00:32:08.42\00:32:11.03
Whatever your job or
your task is in life,
00:32:11.06\00:32:14.93
you were born
ultimately to serve the Lord.
00:32:14.93\00:32:19.43
So as the Word says,
"In everything you do,
00:32:19.47\00:32:22.50
do it as unto the Lord."
00:32:22.54\00:32:23.91
Amen.
00:32:27.08\00:32:28.98
I love the Book of Romans.
00:32:29.01\00:32:32.48
And Romans 8 talks
about again that verse
00:32:32.51\00:32:37.15
that I made
reference to while ago about...
00:32:37.19\00:32:39.92
There is therefore
now no condemnations.
00:32:39.95\00:32:42.02
Starting in verse 1,
I'm just going to read,
00:32:42.06\00:32:44.33
you can join along with me
00:32:44.36\00:32:45.69
if you have your Bible close by.
00:32:45.73\00:32:47.03
I'm in Romans 8
starting with verse 1,
00:32:47.10\00:32:51.33
"There is, therefore
now no condemnation to them
00:32:51.37\00:32:53.87
which are in Christ Jesus,
00:32:53.90\00:32:55.80
who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
00:32:55.84\00:32:59.74
For the law of the
Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
00:32:59.77\00:33:02.91
hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
00:33:02.94\00:33:06.18
For what the law could not do
00:33:06.21\00:33:07.82
in that it was
weak through the flesh.
00:33:07.85\00:33:10.39
God sending His own Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh
00:33:10.42\00:33:14.06
and for sin
condemned sin in the flesh.
00:33:14.09\00:33:18.03
That the
righteousness of the law
00:33:18.06\00:33:19.59
might be fulfilled in us,
00:33:19.63\00:33:21.10
who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.
00:33:21.13\00:33:24.67
For they that
are after the flesh
00:33:24.70\00:33:26.70
do not mind the
things of the flesh,
00:33:26.74\00:33:29.14
but they that
are after the Spirit,
00:33:29.17\00:33:31.11
the things of the Spirit.
00:33:31.14\00:33:32.47
For they that
are after the flesh
00:33:35.88\00:33:37.41
do mind the things is
what it says of the flesh.
00:33:37.45\00:33:40.68
But they that
are after the Spirit
00:33:40.72\00:33:42.62
the things of the Spirit.
00:33:42.65\00:33:44.49
For to be
carnally minded is death,
00:33:44.52\00:33:46.65
but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace.
00:33:46.72\00:33:50.69
Because the carnal
mind is enmity against God:
00:33:50.73\00:33:53.16
for it is not
subject to the law of God,
00:33:53.19\00:33:56.50
neither indeed can be.
00:33:56.53\00:33:58.20
So then they
that are in the flesh
00:33:58.23\00:34:00.07
cannot please God.
00:34:00.14\00:34:01.47
But ye are not in the
flesh, but in the Spirit,
00:34:01.50\00:34:04.54
if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you.
00:34:04.57\00:34:07.74
Now if any man have
not the Spirit of Christ,
00:34:07.78\00:34:10.65
he is none of his.
00:34:10.68\00:34:12.01
And if Christ be in you,
00:34:12.05\00:34:13.72
the body is dead because of sin,
00:34:13.75\00:34:16.05
but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
00:34:16.08\00:34:19.22
But if the Spirit
of him that raised up
00:34:19.25\00:34:20.96
Jesus from the
dead dwell in you,
00:34:20.99\00:34:23.56
he that raised up
Christ from the dead
00:34:23.63\00:34:25.16
shall also quicken your
mortal bodies by his Spirit
00:34:25.19\00:34:28.10
that dwelleth in you.
00:34:28.13\00:34:30.13
Therefore,
brethren, ye are debtors,
00:34:30.17\00:34:32.57
not to the flesh, to
live after the flesh.
00:34:32.60\00:34:35.54
For if you live after the flesh,
00:34:35.57\00:34:36.91
you shall die: but
if through the Spirit
00:34:36.97\00:34:40.78
you do mortify
the deeds of the body,
00:34:40.84\00:34:43.21
you shall live.
00:34:43.24\00:34:44.98
For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God,
00:34:45.01\00:34:47.42
they are the sons of God.
00:34:47.48\00:34:49.05
For you have not received
00:34:49.08\00:34:50.45
the Spirit of
bondage again to fear,
00:34:50.49\00:34:52.29
but you have received
the Spirit of adoption,
00:34:52.32\00:34:54.29
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
00:34:54.32\00:34:57.59
The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit,
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.13
that we are the children of God:
00:35:00.16\00:35:01.93
And if children,
then heirs, heirs of God,
00:35:01.96\00:35:05.77
and joint-heirs with Christ,
00:35:05.80\00:35:07.87
if so be that
we suffer with him,
00:35:07.90\00:35:10.31
that we may also be
glorified together."
00:35:10.34\00:35:13.51
And then over in...
00:35:13.58\00:35:16.31
See, let's go verse 31.
00:35:16.34\00:35:19.08
"What shall we say
then to these things?
00:35:19.11\00:35:21.08
If God be for us,
who can be against us?"
00:35:21.12\00:35:24.42
Verse 32, "He that
spared not his own Son,
00:35:24.45\00:35:27.56
but delivered up for us all,
00:35:27.59\00:35:30.76
how shall He not with Him
also freely give us all things?
00:35:30.83\00:35:35.46
Who shall lay anything to
this charge of God's elect?
00:35:35.50\00:35:39.30
It is God that justifieth."
00:35:39.33\00:35:41.57
Verse 34, "Who is
he that condemneth?
00:35:41.60\00:35:44.84
It is Christ that died,
00:35:44.87\00:35:46.47
yea rather, that is risen again,
00:35:46.51\00:35:48.38
who is even at
the right hand of God,
00:35:48.41\00:35:51.81
who also maketh
intercession for us.
00:35:51.85\00:35:54.28
Who shall separate us
from the love of Christ?
00:35:54.32\00:35:57.79
Shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
00:35:57.82\00:36:02.02
or nakedness,
or peril, or sword?
00:36:02.06\00:36:05.53
As it is written, For thy sake
we are killed all the day long,
00:36:05.56\00:36:10.67
we are accounted as
sheep for the slaughter.
00:36:10.70\00:36:13.84
Nay, in all these things
we are more than conquerors
00:36:13.87\00:36:18.41
through Him that loved us.
00:36:18.44\00:36:20.68
For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life,
00:36:20.71\00:36:23.24
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor powers, nor things present,
00:36:23.28\00:36:27.32
nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth,
00:36:27.35\00:36:31.55
nor any other creature,
00:36:31.59\00:36:34.42
shall be able to separate
us from the love of God,
00:36:34.46\00:36:37.83
which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord."
00:36:37.86\00:36:40.50
Now I know that's
a lot of scripture.
00:36:40.53\00:36:43.83
But I encourage you to
wrap your head around that
00:36:43.87\00:36:47.97
to saturate your spirit in that,
00:36:48.00\00:36:51.07
that wonderful chapter,
00:36:51.11\00:36:53.14
it starts out, it
says, "There is therefore now
00:36:53.17\00:36:55.18
no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus."
00:36:55.21\00:36:59.08
And I love that verse, 31 says,
00:36:59.11\00:37:01.82
"What shall we
say to these things?
00:37:01.85\00:37:03.65
If God is for us,
who can be against us?"
00:37:03.72\00:37:06.02
What can separate us
from the love of God.
00:37:06.05\00:37:09.29
Wow.
00:37:09.32\00:37:10.86
Do you remember the time that
you couldn't say those words
00:37:10.89\00:37:15.10
before you gave your life to Him
00:37:15.13\00:37:20.64
and you may be watching
00:37:20.67\00:37:23.27
and that may be
your predicament today.
00:37:23.30\00:37:28.14
I encourage you to
give your life to Christ,
00:37:28.18\00:37:31.08
to trust Him as your Savior.
00:37:31.11\00:37:35.15
You won't have the
answers immediately,
00:37:35.18\00:37:39.95
but He will begin to work
on you as you read His Word
00:37:39.99\00:37:43.63
and as you pray to Him
00:37:43.66\00:37:44.99
and as you gather
with fellow Christians,
00:37:45.03\00:37:47.86
fellowship with one another
and begin to talk about Him
00:37:47.86\00:37:52.63
and share in your
walk with the Lord.
00:37:52.67\00:37:58.81
And then you can
say that you are,
00:37:58.84\00:38:00.74
you have entered
into the haven of rest
00:38:00.81\00:38:02.48
and you'll be
able to sing this song,
00:38:02.51\00:38:03.88
and these lyrics
are so beautiful.
00:38:03.91\00:38:06.78
'Cause I remember the time
00:38:06.85\00:38:08.25
When my soul in sad exile
00:38:08.28\00:38:13.32
Was out on life's sea
00:38:13.39\00:38:18.46
So burdened with sin
00:38:18.49\00:38:22.23
And distressed
00:38:22.26\00:38:26.74
Till I heard a sweet voice
00:38:26.77\00:38:31.87
Saying "Make Me your choice"
00:38:31.91\00:38:37.38
And I entered
00:38:37.45\00:38:39.75
The "Haven of Rest"!
00:38:39.78\00:38:46.86
I've anchored my soul
00:38:46.89\00:38:51.99
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:38:52.03\00:38:56.93
I'll sail the wide seas
00:38:56.97\00:39:01.84
No more
00:39:01.87\00:39:06.54
The tempest may sweep
00:39:06.57\00:39:11.05
Over wild, stormy, deep
00:39:11.08\00:39:16.02
In Jesus
00:39:16.05\00:39:17.75
I'm safe evermore
00:39:17.79\00:39:25.43
I yielded myself
00:39:25.46\00:39:29.60
To His tender embrace
00:39:29.63\00:39:33.94
And faith taking
00:39:33.97\00:39:36.07
Hold of the Word
00:39:36.10\00:39:41.78
My fetters fell off
00:39:41.81\00:39:45.28
And I anchored my soul
00:39:45.31\00:39:50.32
The "Haven of Rest"
00:39:50.39\00:39:54.29
Is my Lord
00:39:54.32\00:40:00.20
The song of my soul
00:40:00.23\00:40:03.87
Since the Lord made me whole
00:40:03.93\00:40:07.80
Has been the old story so blest
00:40:07.84\00:40:14.68
Of Jesus
00:40:14.71\00:40:17.31
Who'll save whosoever will have
00:40:17.35\00:40:23.15
A home
00:40:23.18\00:40:25.12
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:40:25.15\00:40:32.06
I've anchored my soul
00:40:32.09\00:40:35.80
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:40:35.83\00:40:39.67
I'll sail the wide sea
00:40:39.70\00:40:44.04
No more
00:40:44.07\00:40:47.51
In Jesus I'm safe
00:40:57.12\00:41:02.16
Evermore
00:41:02.19\00:41:05.39
Now listen to this.
00:41:08.46\00:41:09.96
How precious the thought
00:41:10.03\00:41:12.60
That we all may recline
00:41:12.63\00:41:15.57
Like John, the beloved and blest
00:41:15.60\00:41:21.38
On Jesus' strong arm
00:41:21.41\00:41:24.91
Where no tempest can harm
00:41:24.95\00:41:29.12
Secure
00:41:29.15\00:41:30.95
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:41:30.99\00:41:37.73
Now here is the invitation.
00:41:37.76\00:41:40.50
Oh, come to the Savior
00:41:40.56\00:41:43.80
He patiently waits
00:41:43.83\00:41:47.10
To save by His power divine
00:41:47.17\00:41:53.51
Come, anchor your soul
00:41:53.54\00:41:56.98
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:41:57.01\00:42:02.02
And say
00:42:02.05\00:42:03.62
"My Beloved is mine"
00:42:03.69\00:42:10.13
And then you can say.
00:42:10.16\00:42:11.79
I've anchored my soul
00:42:11.83\00:42:16.23
In the "Haven of Rest"
00:42:16.26\00:42:21.14
I'll sail the wide sea
00:42:21.17\00:42:26.01
No more
00:42:26.04\00:42:31.25
The tempest may sweep
00:42:31.28\00:42:36.08
Over the wild, stormy, deep
00:42:36.12\00:42:41.66
In Jesus
00:42:41.69\00:42:44.29
I'm safe evermore
00:42:44.33\00:42:52.10
Maybe you remember this.
00:42:56.54\00:42:57.97
In the cross,
00:45:14.58\00:45:18.58
In the cross
00:45:18.61\00:45:22.35
Be my glory
00:45:22.38\00:45:26.69
Ever
00:45:26.76\00:45:31.56
Till my raptured soul
00:45:31.59\00:45:36.63
Shall find rest
00:45:36.67\00:45:41.64
Beyond the river
00:45:41.67\00:45:48.04
Once I was clothed
in the rags of my sin
00:45:54.85\00:46:02.26
Wretched and poor,
lost and lonely within
00:46:02.29\00:46:09.13
But with wondrous compassion
00:46:09.16\00:46:12.70
The King of all kings
00:46:12.73\00:46:16.37
In pity and love,
took me under His wings
00:46:16.40\00:46:23.88
Oh, yes, oh yes
00:46:23.95\00:46:27.45
I'm a child of the King
00:46:27.52\00:46:31.92
His royal blood
now flows in my veins
00:46:31.95\00:46:38.73
And I who was
wretched and poor now can sing
00:46:38.76\00:46:45.83
Praise God, praise God
00:46:45.87\00:46:49.74
I'm a child of the King
00:46:49.77\00:46:55.11
Can you say that?
00:46:55.14\00:46:56.48
That's good news.
00:46:56.51\00:46:58.11
A great feeling to belong.
00:46:58.15\00:46:59.78
Now I'm a child
with a Heavenly home
00:46:59.81\00:47:07.32
My Holy Father
has made me His own
00:47:07.39\00:47:14.46
And I'm cleansed by His blood
00:47:14.46\00:47:17.60
And I'm clothed in His love
00:47:17.63\00:47:21.64
And some day I'm gonna sing
00:47:21.67\00:47:25.41
With the angels above
00:47:25.44\00:47:29.48
Oh, yes, oh yes
I'm a child of the King
00:47:29.51\00:47:37.29
His royal blood
now flows in my veins
00:47:37.32\00:47:44.23
And I who was
wretched and poor now can sing
00:47:44.26\00:47:51.50
Praise God,
praise God I'm a child of
00:47:51.53\00:47:57.47
Oh, sing that again.
00:47:57.51\00:47:58.84
Oh, yes, oh yes
00:47:58.87\00:48:02.98
I'm a child of the King
00:48:03.01\00:48:07.28
His royal blood
now flows in my veins
00:48:07.35\00:48:14.19
And I who was
wretched and poor now can sing
00:48:14.22\00:48:21.63
Praise God, praise God
00:48:21.66\00:48:26.13
I'm a child
00:48:26.17\00:48:29.40
Of the King
00:48:29.44\00:48:36.68
Amen.
00:48:44.99\00:48:46.45
I hope you can say
you're a child of the King
00:48:46.49\00:48:48.56
that makes us
brothers and sisters
00:48:48.59\00:48:50.03
and a part of the family of God.
00:48:50.06\00:48:52.66
What a
wonderful, wonderful claim
00:48:52.69\00:48:55.40
that we can claim
00:48:55.43\00:48:56.77
that we are part of the family.
00:48:56.83\00:48:58.23
We can call Him Abba Father.
00:48:58.27\00:49:00.37
What a precious gift.
00:49:00.40\00:49:02.24
And as His Father...
00:49:02.27\00:49:06.24
As our Father,
we can depend on Him
00:49:06.27\00:49:09.64
to carry us
through life situations,
00:49:09.68\00:49:11.35
no matter what
we're going through.
00:49:11.38\00:49:13.85
For you see there
is no problem too big
00:49:13.88\00:49:17.05
That God cannot solve it
00:49:17.12\00:49:21.09
There is no mountain
too tall God cannot move it
00:49:21.12\00:49:28.46
There is no
storm that's too dark
00:49:28.50\00:49:31.93
God cannot calm it
00:49:31.97\00:49:35.50
There is no sorrow too deep
00:49:35.54\00:49:38.34
He cannot soothe it
00:49:38.37\00:49:43.85
If He carried the
weight of the world
00:49:43.88\00:49:48.52
Upon His shoulders
00:49:48.55\00:49:53.56
I know my brother
that He will carry you
00:49:53.59\00:50:01.06
If He carried the
weight of the world
00:50:01.10\00:50:05.60
Upon His shoulders
00:50:05.63\00:50:10.17
I know my sister
that He will carry you
00:50:10.21\00:50:17.25
For He said, "Come on to me
00:50:17.31\00:50:22.95
All who are weary
00:50:22.98\00:50:27.02
And I will give you
00:50:27.06\00:50:31.03
Rest"
00:50:31.06\00:50:36.06
For there is no problem too big
00:50:36.10\00:50:39.67
God cannot solve it
00:50:39.70\00:50:44.07
And there is no
mountain too tall
00:50:44.14\00:50:47.31
He cannot move it
00:50:47.34\00:50:52.21
There is no storm too dark
00:50:52.25\00:50:55.92
God cannot calm it
00:50:55.95\00:51:00.16
There is no sorrow too deep
00:51:00.19\00:51:02.99
That He cannot soothe it
00:51:03.02\00:51:07.40
For if He carried
the weight of the world
00:51:07.40\00:51:12.00
Upon His shoulders
00:51:12.03\00:51:17.47
I know my brother
that He will carry you
00:51:17.51\00:51:24.28
And if He carried
the weight of the world
00:51:24.31\00:51:28.52
Upon His shoulders
00:51:28.55\00:51:33.46
I know my sister
that He will carry you
00:51:33.52\00:51:38.99
Sing that again.
00:51:39.03\00:51:40.36
Oh, if He carried
the weight of the world
00:51:40.40\00:51:44.87
Upon His shoulders
00:51:44.90\00:51:49.74
I know my brother
He's gonna carry you
00:51:49.77\00:51:55.98
And if He carried
the weight of the world
00:51:56.01\00:52:00.92
Upon His shoulders
00:52:00.95\00:52:05.82
I know my sister
00:52:05.85\00:52:07.79
He's gonna be
faithful and true to carry you
00:52:07.82\00:52:14.73
I know my brother and sister
00:52:14.73\00:52:18.47
He'll carry you
00:52:18.50\00:52:23.07
'Cause He's our Father.
00:52:23.10\00:52:25.34
Remember He has our
best interest in mind
00:52:25.37\00:52:28.54
for His glory.
00:52:28.58\00:52:32.25
I love Him, don't you?
00:52:32.28\00:52:33.62
Amen. I'll be back.
