Welcome to First Works Baptist Church. Go ahead and please stand with me.
And we turn to song number 31, He Lives. Song number 31, He Lives.
Song number 31 in your hymnals, He Lives.
On that first verse,
I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today.
I know that He is living, whatever man may say.
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer.
And just in time I need Him, who's always there.
He lives, He lives, like Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me, along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart.
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart.
Song number 31 for those who just came in, song number 31 on the seconds.
In all the world around me, I see His loving air.
And though my heart grows weary, I never will despair.
I know that He is leaning through all the stormy blasts.
The day of His appearing will come at last.
He lives, He lives, like Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me, along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart.
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart.
And alas, rejoice, rejoice, O Christian.
Lift up your voice and sing eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King.
The hope of all who seek it, the help of all who find.
None other is so loving, so good and kind.
He lives, He lives, like Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me, along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart.
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart.
Great singing, let's pray.
Father, thank you for this wonderful and beautiful night you've given us.
Father, I do pray for your hand upon the preacher and the message to come.
I do ask that you please bless the singing and glorify you.
We love you, I love you, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Go ahead and please be seated.
Turn to the next song, song number 215.
Song number 215, Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
Song number 215 on the first verse.
Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful day, day I will never forget.
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met.
Oh, what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart.
Shadows dispelling with joy I am telling, we made all the darkness depart.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
And at the cross the Savior made me whole.
My sins were washed away, away and my night was turned to day.
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
Born of the Spirit with life from above into God's family divine.
Justified fully through Calvary's love.
Oh, what a standing is mine, and the transaction so quickly was made, glory filled my soul.
