"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

Let us sing of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ the sinner’s Friend; For He died to seal our pardon, Of our sins He made an end. CHORUS: Sing the praises of the Savior, Who our sins and sorrows bore; Christ accomplished our redemption, Praise His Name forevermore. Harken to the voice of triumph, “It is finished,” Jesus cried; Finished, ev’ry type and shadow, All the law He satisfied. CHORUS   What a wondrous, mighty Savior, Righteousness He has brought in; Risen and on high ascended, Conqueror of death and sin. CHORUS When we pray unto the Father, Plead the merits of His Son; This be all our claim before Him, Only what the Lord has done. CHORUS Tune: “ Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” p. 257 (8.7.8.7. w/chorus) Words by preacher Jim Byrd

"O satisfy us early with T hy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days." -P SALM 90:14 [KJV] Many of the dear children of God are tossed up and down on a sea of great uncertainty, doubt and fear, because they have not had sensible manifestations of Christ to their soul. He has not come into them in the power of His love; still they often say, "When wilt Thou come unto me? O visit me with Thy salvation; speak a word to my soul; it is Thyself, and Thyself alone, I want to hear, to see, and to know!"   Now these are drawings of the gracious Lord, the secret beginnings of H is coming, the heralds of his approach, the dawning of the day before the morning star arises and the sun follows upon his track.

He may seem to do so; H e may withdraw H
