Hallelujah, Praise the Savior!

 

Hallelujah praise the Savior,

He Who bore our sin and shame;

Praise His Name for He has triumphed,

Sing His glories, spread His fame.

 

CHORUS: Let us love and praise the Savior,

Love and praise Him evermore;

Jesus is our great salvation,

Love and praise Him forevermore.

 

Hallelujah praise the Savior,

Who for sinners once was slain;

Magnify the One who saved us,

Washed away our guilty stain.  CHORUS:

 

Hallelujah for the Savior

Came to save His chosen bride;

By His blood the Savior bought us

When for us He bled and died.  CHORUS:

 

Hallelujah Jesus suffered,

Bore the wrath of God alone;

He for us obtained the vict’ry,

Now He reigns upon His throne!  CHORUS:

 

Hallelujah what a Savior,

Prophet, Priest and reigning King;

Soon He will come down from heaven,

All His ransomed home to bring.  CHORUS:

 

 

HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE SAVIOR!

Tune: “JESUS, WHAT A FRIEND FOR SINNERS” 8.7.8.7. double Words by Jim Byrd



-------O-------

 

“In Thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.  Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.  Be Thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress” (Psalm 71:1-3).

     In one word, the great fact on which the Christian’s hope rests is substitution.  The vicarious sacrifice of Christ for the sinner, Christ’s suffering for the sinner, Christ’s being made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him, Christ offering up a true and proper substitutionary sacrifice in the place of as many as the Father gave Him, who are recognized by their trusting in Him – this is the cardinal fact of the gospel.

     

Substitution is the very marrow of the whole Bible, the soul of salvation, the essence of the gospel.  We sought to saturate all our sermons with it, for it is the lifeblood of a gospel ministry.                               

 

--C.H. Spurgeon

Be of Good Cheer, friends-in-Christ JESUS

"Return, return, O Shulamite, return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies." -Song of Solomon 6:13 [KJV]   It is the church that is here called upon to return, and most likely by the daughters of Jerusalem. Some have thought the church is so called, as being of Salem, or Shulem, the shortened word for Jeru-salem. And some have thought that Salem is the same with Solomon, as the feminine of Solomon, the wife. And others have supposed, that as Jerusalem means peace, the church is called so, on account of her loveliness. And no doubt, in each sense, the church may well be called so, being married to Christ; being of the "Jerusalem that is above, which is the mother of us all;" and being beautiful, peaceful, and lovely in Jesus, as Jerusalem is the praise of the whole earth, Psalm 48:9 . But wherefore is the Shulamite called upon to return, to be looked upon, and with such earnestness...

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

Helpful Article re: BE NOT CONFORMED

"...be not conformed to this world." -Romans 12:2 [KJV] In proportion as we are conformed to the spirit of this world our understanding becomes dull in the things of God, our affections cold and torpid, and our consciences less tender and sensitive. There is an eternal opposition between God and the world lying in wickedness.  In order, then, that our spiritual experience of the truth of God should maintain its ground, it must not be dulled and deadened by conformity to the world. It is like the sabre that the soldier carries into battle; it must not trail unsheathed upon the ground lest point and edge be dulled; both must be kept keen and sharp, that execution may be done upon the foe. So it is with our enlightened understanding , with our tender conscience , and our heavenly affections . If we let them fall upon the world, it is like a soldier trailing his sabre upon the pavement; every step he takes dulls both edge and point. If we are conformed to this worl...
