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

“ He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness.” -I SAIAH 61:10 [KJV] We do not think it strange, or preposterous, to wear clothes, the materials of which we borrow from other creatures. And why should it be deemed absurd, that we should hide our spiritual shame, by appearing before God in the garment of another, EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. -Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady [1740–1778 A.D.]

Behold Jehovah’s greatest work, Salvation by His grace; He gave His Son, the ransom Price, To save a chosen race. Declare the praises of our God, Let none refuse to sing; Affirm the greatness of the Lord, Give glory to the King! Tune: “ O God, Our Help in Ages Past, ” p. 10 (CM) Words by preacher Jim Byrd
