What can cause a person to sing
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.00
even when life is
seemingly going all wrong
00:00:35.03\00:00:37.50
and there doesn't appear
to be any relief in sight?
00:00:37.53\00:00:40.30
The Word of God is boiling
over with wonderful promises,
00:00:40.34\00:00:43.54
encouraging us
to remain faithful
00:00:43.57\00:00:45.87
in order to
receive our eternal reward.
00:00:45.91\00:00:48.48
That's why it's so important
to have Godly music playing
00:00:48.51\00:00:50.95
in our homes, our cars,
our headphones to inspire us
00:00:50.98\00:00:54.88
to be faithful in
our Christian walk,
00:00:54.92\00:00:57.25
especially when
life trips us up.
00:00:57.29\00:01:00.02
Here's a great hymn
00:01:00.06\00:01:01.39
"Standing on the
promises of God",
00:01:01.42\00:01:03.43
and that's a great way to...
00:01:03.46\00:01:06.66
start the program.
00:01:06.70\00:01:08.60
Standing on the
promises of Christ my King
00:01:12.63\00:01:17.07
Through eternal
ages let his praises ring
00:01:17.11\00:01:21.41
Glory in the highest
I will shout and sing
00:01:21.44\00:01:25.68
Standing on the promises of God
00:01:25.71\00:01:30.09
Standing, standing
00:01:30.12\00:01:34.49
Standing on the
promises of Christ
00:01:34.52\00:01:37.29
My Savior Standing
00:01:37.33\00:01:41.16
Standing
00:01:41.20\00:01:44.03
I'm standing on
the promises of God
00:01:44.07\00:01:48.54
Standing, standing
00:02:05.45\00:02:09.72
Standing on the
promises of God my Savior
00:02:09.76\00:02:14.03
Standing, standing
00:02:14.06\00:02:18.87
I'm standing on
the promises of God
00:02:18.90\00:02:25.54
Standing on the
promises of Christ my Lord
00:02:25.57\00:02:30.21
Bound to Him
eternally by love's strong cord
00:02:30.25\00:02:34.68
Overcoming daily
with the Spirit's sword
00:02:34.72\00:02:38.72
I'm standing on
the promises of God
00:02:38.75\00:02:45.43
Standing on the
promises I cannot fall
00:02:45.46\00:02:50.00
Listening every
moment to the Spirit's call
00:02:50.03\00:02:54.14
I'm resting in my
Savior as my all in all
00:02:54.17\00:02:58.37
I'm standing on
the promises of God
00:02:58.41\00:03:01.41
Oh, sing out now.
00:03:01.44\00:03:02.78
Amen.
00:03:25.13\00:03:27.17
Titus 2:13 and 14 says,
00:03:27.20\00:03:30.41
"We wait for the blessed
hope the appearing of the glory
00:03:30.44\00:03:33.64
of our great God
and Savior, Jesus Christ
00:03:33.68\00:03:36.38
who gave Himself
for us to redeem us
00:03:36.41\00:03:39.01
from all
wickedness and to purify
00:03:39.05\00:03:41.25
for Himself a people
that are His very own
00:03:41.28\00:03:44.19
eager to do what is good."
00:03:44.22\00:03:46.02
Great verse from Titus.
00:03:46.05\00:03:47.39
Here's a hymn request
from Margarita in St Lucia,
00:03:47.42\00:03:50.09
page 441, "I saw one weary,"
00:03:50.13\00:03:53.09
and this song reminds us
of the importance of keeping
00:03:53.13\00:03:55.90
the encouragement
of the blessed hope
00:03:55.93\00:03:58.13
in our heart.
00:03:58.17\00:03:59.97
"I saw one weary."
00:04:00.00\00:04:01.47
I saw one weary, sad, and torn
00:04:06.78\00:04:10.25
With eager
steps press on the way
00:04:10.28\00:04:13.72
Who long the
hallowed cross had borne
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.99
Still looking
for the promised day
00:04:17.02\00:04:21.56
While many a
line of grief and care
00:04:21.59\00:04:25.16
Upon his brow,
was furrowed there
00:04:25.19\00:04:28.86
I asked what
buoyed his spirits up
00:04:28.90\00:04:32.57
O this, said
he, the blessed hope
00:04:32.60\00:04:37.87
And one I saw,
with sword and shield
00:04:37.91\00:04:41.41
Who boldly braved
the world's cold frown
00:04:41.44\00:04:45.05
And fought,
unyielding, on the field
00:04:45.08\00:04:48.35
To win an everlasting crown
00:04:48.38\00:04:52.55
Though worn with
toil, oppressed by foes
00:04:52.59\00:04:56.39
No murmur from his heart arose
00:04:56.42\00:05:00.23
I asked what
buoyed his spirits up
00:05:00.26\00:05:03.80
O this, said
he, the blessed hope
00:05:03.83\00:05:08.87
While pilgrims here
00:05:36.56\00:05:38.63
we journey on
00:05:38.67\00:05:40.44
In this dark
vale of sin and gloom
00:05:40.47\00:05:44.41
Through
tribulation, hate, and scorn
00:05:44.44\00:05:48.14
Or through the
portals of the tomb
00:05:48.18\00:05:53.01
Till our
returning king shall come
00:05:53.05\00:05:57.09
to take His exile captives home
00:05:57.12\00:06:01.16
O what can buoy the spirits up?
00:06:01.19\00:06:05.09
'Tis this alone the blessed hope
00:06:05.13\00:06:12.83
That's a good reason
to keep singing, right,
00:06:12.87\00:06:14.67
the blessed hope.
00:06:14.70\00:06:16.64
Here's a song written
by good friend of mine,
00:06:16.67\00:06:18.54
Squire Parsons,
00:06:18.57\00:06:19.97
that talks another
reason about why we sing.
00:06:20.01\00:06:23.78
I've been singing about my Lord
00:06:31.82\00:06:37.69
For many years
00:06:37.73\00:06:40.43
I've sung when I've been happy
00:06:40.46\00:06:44.03
I've sung when I've had tears
00:06:44.07\00:06:48.20
Some folks have even asked me
00:06:48.24\00:06:51.64
If it's all been just a show
00:06:51.67\00:06:55.81
But the reason that I'm singing
00:06:55.84\00:06:59.75
I want the world to know
00:06:59.78\00:07:03.05
I sing because
there is an empty grave
00:07:03.08\00:07:07.16
I sing because
there is a power to save
00:07:07.19\00:07:11.83
I sing because His
grace is real to me
00:07:11.86\00:07:19.20
I sing because I
know I'm not alone
00:07:19.23\00:07:23.24
I sing because
someday I'm going home
00:07:23.27\00:07:27.41
Where I shall sing
through all eternity
00:07:27.44\00:07:35.18
I sing because I
know I'm not alone
00:07:35.22\00:07:39.35
I sing because
someday I'm going home
00:07:39.39\00:07:43.36
Where I will sing
00:07:43.39\00:07:45.29
Through all eternity
00:07:45.33\00:07:50.93
Be sure and hang
around for the next part.
00:07:57.41\00:07:59.54
