00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.620
 25 verses 1 to 6 from the Scottish Psalter.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:14.900
 O come, let us sing to the Lord. Come, let us everyone a joyful noise make to the rock of our salvation.

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.580
 Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:24.519
 Let us sing psalms to him with grace and make a joyful noise.

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.379
 For God, a great God and great King, above all gods he is,

00:00:30.099 --> 00:00:33.759
 depths of the earth are in his hand, the strength of hills is his.

00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:38.920
 To him the spacious sea belongs, for he the same did make.

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:43.479
 The dry land also from his hands its form at first did take.

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:47.799
 O come and let us worship him, let us bow down with all.

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.840
 And on our knees before the Lord, our maker, let us fall.

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.539
 Verses 1 to 6, Psalm 95. O come, let us sing to the Lord.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:14.859
 O come, let us sing to the Lord. Come, let us everyone.

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:15.859
 And on our knees before the Lord, our maker, let us sing to the Lord.

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:20.859
 And on our knees before the Lord, our maker, let us sing to the Lord.

00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:36.640
itions across the Lord, our maker, let us sing to the Wu's Awée.

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.219
 for His presence

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:41.960
 God

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:44.579
 with great

00:01:44.579 --> 00:01:47.040
 and thankful

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.519
 voice.

00:01:50.060 --> 00:01:52.400
 Let us

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.379
 take down

00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:56.620
 to Him

00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:58.700
 with grace

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.240
 and make

00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:03.519
 a joyful

00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.560
 noise.

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.539
 For God

00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:10.639
 our

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:11.840
 great

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.000
 God

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.280
 and great

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.120
 King

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.680
 how

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.819
 all

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:21.000
 God

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.580
 He is

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:24.639
 Heaps

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:26.639
 of the

00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.180
 earth

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:30.719
 are in

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.680
 His hand

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.639
 the strength

00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:36.539
 of

00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:37.459
 wilt

00:02:37.459 --> 00:02:38.859
 this

00:02:38.859 --> 00:02:40.739
 is

00:02:40.739 --> 00:02:42.099
 to

00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:43.599
 Him

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:44.859
 that

00:02:44.859 --> 00:02:46.239
 spacious

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:47.479
 need

00:02:48.279 --> 00:02:49.959
 d task

00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:50.019
 to

00:02:50.019 --> 00:02:52.119
 king

00:02:52.119 --> 00:02:52.919
 and

00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.560
uth

00:02:53.560 --> 00:03:07.039
 The dry land also from His hands

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:14.920
 is for the worshiping.

00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:24.239
 O come and let us worship Him,

00:03:24.619 --> 00:03:31.919
 let us burn out with all.

00:03:32.399 --> 00:03:40.919
 And honor He before the Lord,

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:48.159
 our maker, let us call.

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:52.819
 Let us bow in prayer.

00:03:55.419 --> 00:03:58.079
 Lord, as we gather before you this evening,

00:03:58.279 --> 00:04:01.519
 we pray for grace that we may worship you in a right way.

00:04:02.339 --> 00:04:05.500
 We give thanks for this opportunity of offering praise

00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:06.899
 and thanksgiving to you.

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.179
 Indeed, we have been created to praise.

00:04:11.359 --> 00:04:15.199
 Glory is the world of eternal praise.

00:04:16.219 --> 00:04:18.539
 And when you put a new song in our mouth here,

00:04:18.979 --> 00:04:20.740
 it is the beginning of that praise

00:04:20.740 --> 00:04:22.439
 that will go on forever and ever.

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:24.860
 And so we pray, O Lord,

00:04:24.939 --> 00:04:26.680
 that our hearts might be stirred up

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.099
 to offer that praise to you.

00:04:29.159 --> 00:04:30.379
 We give thanks for the song

00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:32.159
 that we just sang just now.

00:04:32.159 --> 00:04:33.099
 We give thanks, Lord,

00:04:33.259 --> 00:04:35.279
 for the way we sang it,

00:04:35.339 --> 00:04:36.419
 the heartiness of it.

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:38.600
 And that is how it should always be

00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.060
 when we seek to praise and magnify our Lord,

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.860
 because you are worthy of all praise and honor and glory.

00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.680
 We pray that it might be an integral part of our lives,

00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:51.740
 day in, day out,

00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:54.879
 because there is always a reason to praise thee,

00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.100
 even when things might be difficult in our own lives

00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:03.100
 and when we might be facing heartache

00:05:03.100 --> 00:05:06.040
 and pain and sorrow and difficulties.

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.280
 while these things in and of themselves are hard

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:13.700
 and there is nothing praiseworthy in these things,

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.280
 you are always worthy of praise.

00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.360
 And so we pray that whatever our situation,

00:05:19.580 --> 00:05:21.280
 we may lift up our hearts to you

00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:23.300
 and that we might acknowledge you

00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:24.720
 as God of heaven and earth

00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.680
 and that we might praise you with all our heart

00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:32.220
 and that we will give this sense of adoration

00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:35.120
 and commitment that we belong to you.

00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.780
 We give thanks for all your wonderful promises

00:05:38.780 --> 00:05:39.720
 that are in the word

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.139
 and we pray that we might have this spirit of thanksgiving

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:44.639
 about us at all times,

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:50.060
 that we might remember that you have been gracious to us

00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:52.160
 and that you have dealt with us

00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:53.800
 not according to our deserving.

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:57.319
 You have dealt with us by your steadfast love

00:05:57.319 --> 00:05:59.680
 you have dealt with us in ways

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.079
 that are often beyond our understanding

00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.439
 or comprehension.

00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.360
 But we give thanks, Lord, for your patience with us

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.319
 because there are so many times

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.639
 it would have been right for you to cast us off

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:15.779
 but you've stuck with us.

00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.839
 Your love is unchanging

00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.000
 because you are unchanging in your nature.

00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.240
 And so we give thanks tonight

00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.039
 for that unchanging love

00:06:24.039 --> 00:06:25.920
 and we give thanks, Lord,

00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.699
 for the way that you draw us to yourself,

00:06:29.340 --> 00:06:31.300
 that you give us a heart for yourself.

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:33.420
 We have to confess, Lord,

00:06:33.460 --> 00:06:35.240
 there was a day when we didn't have that

00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.780
 and even if there was a sense of

00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:43.379
 maybe of ascribing something to you,

00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:45.120
 we didn't understand,

00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:46.620
 we weren't aware,

00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.160
 we were too caught up with ourselves

00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.800
 but when you set your love upon us

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.240
 that changed

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.640
 and we began to see things in a different way.

00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.720
 And so we give thanks, Lord,

00:06:58.820 --> 00:07:01.580
 for delivering us from a fearful pit and mighty clay

00:07:01.580 --> 00:07:03.900
 and setting our feet upon a rock,

00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:05.120
 establishing our way

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.520
 and putting a new song in our mouth.

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:10.420
 And we pray that we will continue to sing

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:12.660
 that new song every day and every night

00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:15.020
 and that you'll help us as we journey

00:07:15.020 --> 00:07:16.080
 through this world.

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.579
 Bless this congregation, we pray.

00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:20.839
 Bless our homes, our families

00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:21.919
 and all whom we love.

00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:25.279
 We pray to bless all who serve you.

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:27.019
 We pray for all the office bearers.

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:29.379
 We pray for all those who work

00:07:29.379 --> 00:07:31.419
 in so many ways behind the scene.

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.479
 We pray, Lord, for our church officers.

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:35.779
 We pray for cleaners.

00:07:35.899 --> 00:07:38.120
 We pray, Lord, for those who work

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:39.459
 with the young people.

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:41.039
 Lord, we give thanks for them.

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:47.060
 We remember the 55 plus fellowship as well.

00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:48.920
 We remember, oh Lord,

00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:50.120
 all our young people

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.740
 as they grow up in a very challenging

00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:53.960
 and a very difficult day.

00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.740
 We pray, Lord, to protect them

00:07:55.740 --> 00:07:56.460
 and to keep them.

00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.939
 Grant wisdom to parents

00:07:57.939 --> 00:07:59.560
 and wisdom to leaders

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.860
 who are teaching them in the right way.

00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:04.640
 What a wonderful opportunity that is given.

00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.379
 And we pray that the seed that is sown

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.920
 in the early days of their life

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.680
 may indeed bear fruit

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.720
 that you will keep them

00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.400
 from the evil that abounds in this world,

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:16.100
 the temptations which are many,

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:18.560
 and that you will watch over them.

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:21.120
 Lord, our God, we pray for those

00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.040
 who love you and serve you

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.160
 in places of influence and prominence

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.040
 throughout our communities

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.340
 and indeed throughout our land.

00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:32.120
 We give thanks, Lord,

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:33.800
 for every voice that is raised

00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:35.460
 on your behalf

00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:38.680
 and for every testimony that is born

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:40.259
 speaking of you.

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.059
 We give thanks, Lord,

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:43.059
 for the wonderful way

00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:44.379
 that the gospel is spread

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.419
 and so often we don't hear about it.

00:08:47.539 --> 00:08:49.259
 Every so often we get little glimpses

00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:51.039
 that even in this country of ours

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.879
 when so often we see it

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.000
 as simply as in darkness.

00:08:56.719 --> 00:08:58.459
 Yet so often there are pockets here

00:08:58.459 --> 00:09:00.679
 and there are pockets there

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.120
 and where maybe the media

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.500
 doesn't in any way reflect

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:08.179
 maybe how many actually

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:10.039
 are seeking you

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.019
 and how many have a desire

00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:13.240
 or a heart for you.

00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:15.639
 Oh, Lord, grant us your grace

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.039
 as we wait upon you.

00:09:17.820 --> 00:09:18.419
 Help us, Lord,

00:09:18.460 --> 00:09:20.240
 to grow more like you day by day.

00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.960
 Forgive us for what we are

00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:23.840
 in and of ourselves.

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.820
 Forgive us, Lord,

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.899
 for the sympathy that we have with sin.

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.519
 Forgive us, Lord,

00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.120
 for maybe how unkind

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.419
 we can be to one another

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:32.740
 by our actions

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:33.939
 and by our words.

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.000
 Lord, we pray that

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.579
 we may have a heart

00:09:37.579 --> 00:09:38.419
 for one another,

00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:40.519
 that the love of Jesus Christ

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.019
 may be evident in our lives,

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:43.779
 that we may care for one another.

00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:45.980
 So often it's said of Jesus

00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:48.139
 that he was moved with compassion.

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.720
 We pray that we might have

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.699
 something of our Savior's compassion

00:09:52.699 --> 00:09:54.860
 in this world that we live in

00:09:54.860 --> 00:09:56.940
 where it is difficult.

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:57.960
 Lord, we pray

00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.180
 as we face challenges

00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:02.500
 with financial restraints

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:04.600
 and with the cost of living crisis,

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:05.440
 we ask, Lord,

00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:06.320
 that you will help

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.159
 and that you will grant wisdom

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.200
 to those who lead us,

00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.519
 those in authority over us.

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.200
 We are commanded to pray

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.440
 for kings

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.440
 and for those in authority over us.

00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:17.560
 It is our duty

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:19.139
 and so we pray for our king,

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:20.180
 for the royal family.

00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:22.259
 We pray for those who lead us

00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:23.000
 in Westminster,

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:23.800
 in Holyrood,

00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.299
 and locally here in the council.

00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:27.979
 Lord, grant them wisdom from above

00:10:27.979 --> 00:10:29.819
 and even for those

00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:30.799
 who don't look to you,

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.779
 we pray that you will move them

00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:33.519
 in the right way

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.719
 because the king's heart

00:10:34.719 --> 00:10:36.299
 is in the hand of the Lord

00:10:36.299 --> 00:10:37.979
 and he will move it

00:10:37.979 --> 00:10:40.279
 in whichever way he pleases

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:41.919
 because it is yours to do

00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.519
 according to your will

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.699
 with the armies of heaven

00:10:44.699 --> 00:10:46.419
 and with the inhabitants of the earth.

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.559
 It is up to you, Lord,

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:50.120
 to raise one up

00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.479
 and to cast another down.

00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:52.879
 You are the God

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:54.340
 who can change the times

00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:55.139
 and the seasons.

00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:56.379
 Help us, Lord,

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:57.320
 to have an insight

00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.480
 and a sense of who you are

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.100
 in our life.

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:01.320
 May our focus

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.659
 always be upon you.

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.360
 And so we give thanks then

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.259
 for this evening

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:06.820
 as we seek to

00:11:06.820 --> 00:11:08.060
 individually

00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:08.940
 and personally

00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:09.879
 and collectively

00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.659
 give thanks to you

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:13.800
 for all that you do for us.

00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:14.840
 You do so much.

00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.779
 We have so much

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:16.940
 to be thankful for.

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:18.159
 We give thanks

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:18.980
 for the community

00:11:18.980 --> 00:11:19.840
 that we live in,

00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:20.420
 the community

00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:21.820
 that we were brought up in.

00:11:22.420 --> 00:11:23.379
 We give thanks, Lord,

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:23.720
 for,

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:25.580
 although it's not as it was,

00:11:25.659 --> 00:11:26.220
 there is still

00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:28.060
 gospel influence here.

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:28.740
 We give thanks

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:29.279
 and we pray

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.820
 that it might always be so.

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:32.460
 We pray to encourage

00:11:32.460 --> 00:11:33.379
 the ministers here.

00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:34.100
 We pray for

00:11:34.100 --> 00:11:35.700
 Mr. McKeever

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.100
 and Mr. Smith, Lord.

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:38.360
 We pray to bless them

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.340
 and wives and families, Lord.

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.519
 We commit to your care

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:42.060
 and keeping.

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.159
 We give thanks, Lord,

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:44.800
 for bringing

00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:46.700
 Calamurdu here

00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:47.140
 and Joan.

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:47.980
 Lord, we pray

00:11:47.980 --> 00:11:49.000
 that you'll bless them.

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:50.620
 Watch over us now,

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:51.100
 we pray,

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:53.360
 and as you brought them here,

00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:54.500
 we pray for the

00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:56.120
 congregation of North U.S.

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.580
 O Lord,

00:11:56.660 --> 00:11:57.320
 we ask that

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:58.580
 it might please you

00:11:58.580 --> 00:11:59.440
 to direct them

00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:00.480
 in a way

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.879
 where you will lead

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.540
 a pastor to them

00:12:03.540 --> 00:12:04.460
 because

00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:06.700
 their loss

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.480
 is great,

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.360
 whereas

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.440
 as so often happens

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.420
 when one moves,

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:13.420
 then,

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:14.900
 although we are

00:12:14.900 --> 00:12:15.600
 pleased,

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:16.779
 it leaves

00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:17.680
 our congregation

00:12:17.680 --> 00:12:18.180
 empty.

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:19.480
 So we pray for them.

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:20.980
 Watch over us,

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:21.680
 we pray,

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:22.519
 and do us good,

00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:23.259
 cleansing us

00:12:23.259 --> 00:12:24.220
 from our every sin

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.080
 in Jesus' name.

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:25.639
 Amen.

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.000
 We're going to sing again.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.879
 Is it 23 or 139?

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:32.279
 139.

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:32.779
 I couldn't remember.

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:33.840
 We're going to sing

00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.000
 in Psalm 139A

00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:37.000
 and sing Psalms.

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.399
 Psalm 139A

00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.360
 verses 13 to 16.

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.899
 Psalm 139A

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:48.360
 and sing Psalms.

00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.100
 And we're going to sing

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:55.180
 from verse 13

00:12:55.180 --> 00:12:56.759
 to verse 16.

00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.100
 For you, O Lord,

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.139
 created me,

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.259
 you wove me

00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:03.120
 on your loom,

00:13:03.779 --> 00:13:04.860
 my inmost being

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:05.940
 you have formed

00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:07.480
 within my mother's womb.

00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.779
 because I'm wonderfully made

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:11.120
 with all your praise

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:11.800
 I'll tell.

00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:13.420
 Your workmanship

00:13:13.420 --> 00:13:14.200
 is marvelous

00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:15.480
 and this I know

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.259
 full well.

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:18.320
 When in the secret place

00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.100
 my frame

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:19.779
 was made

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:20.920
 before my birth,

00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:22.659
 you saw my body

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:23.600
 yet unformed

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.879
 within the depths

00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.420
 of earth.

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:26.980
 And all the days

00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:28.139
 that I should live

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:29.519
 which you ordained

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.259
 for me

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.279
 were written

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:31.940
 in your book,

00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:32.620
 O Lord,

00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:34.740
 before they came

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.200
 to be.

00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:37.039
 Verses 13 to 16

00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:38.519
 of Psalm 139A

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.039
 that's on page 181.

00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:41.759
 For you, O Lord,

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:42.860
 created me.

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.220
 Amen.

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:52.740
 For you, O Lord,

00:13:52.899 --> 00:13:57.120
 created me,

00:13:57.560 --> 00:14:00.860
 you wove me

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:04.460
 on your loom.

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:08.259
 I am, O Lord,

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:10.580
 in you,

00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:13.720
 that part

00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:21.919
 within my brotherhood.

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:28.600
 Because I'm wonderfully

00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:37.600
 with all your praise

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.100
 I tell.

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:44.200
 Your workmanship

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.779
 is marvelous

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:55.500
 and this I know

00:14:55.500 --> 00:15:16.019
 Thank you, COVID-19.

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:26.199
 To solve my body evermore

00:15:26.199 --> 00:15:34.360
 Within the depths of earth

00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:44.019
 And all the days that I should live

00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:52.299
 With you are made for me

00:15:52.299 --> 00:16:02.159
 Were written in your book, O Lord

00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:09.259
 Before they came to me

00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:15.319
 We're going to read now in the book of Psalms

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:17.539
 Two Psalms, first of all in Psalm 145

00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:20.259
 And then in Psalm 100

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:24.960
 First of all in the book of Psalms

00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.980
 In Psalm 145

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:40.680
 I will extol you, my God and King

00:16:40.680 --> 00:16:43.399
 And bless your name forever and ever

00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.080
 Every day I will bless you

00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.740
 And praise your name forever and ever

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:52.519
 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:55.279
 And his greatness is unsearchable

00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:00.100
 One generation shall commend your works to another

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:02.839
 And shall declare your mighty acts

00:17:02.839 --> 00:17:06.200
 On the glorious splendor of your majesty

00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.799
 And on your wondrous works

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.920
 I will meditate

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.859
 They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds

00:17:12.859 --> 00:17:15.259
 And I will declare your greatness

00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:19.899
 They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness

00:17:19.899 --> 00:17:22.799
 And shall sing aloud of your righteousness

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.099
 The Lord is gracious and merciful

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:30.279
 Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.759
 The Lord is good to all

00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.099
 And his mercy is over all that he has made

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:40.619
 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord

00:17:40.619 --> 00:17:43.659
 And all your saints shall bless you

00:17:43.659 --> 00:17:47.059
 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom

00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:48.899
 And tell of your power

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:52.340
 To make known to the children of man

00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.360
 Your mighty deeds

00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:56.660
 And the glorious splendor of your kingdom

00:17:56.660 --> 00:18:00.019
 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:04.000
 And your dominion endures throughout all generations

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.960
 The Lord is faithful in all his words

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.519
 And kind in all his works

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.900
 The Lord upholds all who are falling

00:18:13.900 --> 00:18:17.040
 And raises up all who are bowed down

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.000
 The eyes of all look to you

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.399
 And you give them their food in due season

00:18:23.399 --> 00:18:25.519
 You open your hand

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.740
 And you satisfy the desire of every living thing

00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:32.180
 The Lord is righteous in all his ways

00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:34.359
 And kind in all his works

00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.779
 The Lord is near to all who call on him

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:40.079
 To all who call on him in truth

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.980
 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him

00:18:43.980 --> 00:18:47.120
 He also hears their cry and saves them

00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:50.620
 The Lord preserves all who love him

00:18:50.620 --> 00:18:52.720
 But the wicked he will destroy

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.700
 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord

00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:01.440
 And let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever

00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.099
 Then we turn to Psalm 100

00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:13.659
 And we're going to look at this Psalm after we sing

00:19:13.659 --> 00:19:15.439
 Psalm 100

00:19:15.439 --> 00:19:20.259
 Make a joyful noise to the Lord

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:21.279
 All the earth

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.919
 Serve the Lord with gladness

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:26.839
 Come into his presence with singing

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.039
 Know that the Lord, he is God

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.539
 It is he who made us

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:34.099
 And we are his

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:36.099
 We are his people

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:38.059
 And the sheep of his pasture

00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:40.960
 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.119
 And his courts with praise

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:45.220
 Give thanks to him

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:46.720
 Bless his name

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.799
 For the Lord is good

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.420
 His steadfast love endures forever

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:55.379
 And his faithfulness to all generations

00:19:55.379 --> 00:19:57.440
 Amen and may God bless to us

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.420
 These readings of his holy word

00:19:59.420 --> 00:20:02.059
 We're going to sing again in Psalm 23

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:03.420
 This is in Sing Psalm

00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:04.240
 Psalm 23

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.440
 The whole psalm

00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:11.820
 Page 28 in the psalm book

00:20:11.820 --> 00:20:13.019
 Psalm 23

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:17.080
 The Lord is my shepherd

00:20:17.080 --> 00:20:18.960
 No want shall I know

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.900
 He makes me lie down

00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:22.440
 Where the green pastures grow

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.440
 He leads me to rest

00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.180
 Where the calm waters flow

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:28.340
 My wandering steps

00:20:28.340 --> 00:20:30.160
 He brings back to his way

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.700
 In straight paths of righteousness

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.860
 Making me stay

00:20:33.860 --> 00:20:35.640
 And this he has done

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:37.420
 His great name to display

00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:39.860
 Though I walk in death's valley

00:20:39.860 --> 00:20:41.460
 Where darkness is near

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:43.299
 Because you are with me

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:45.000
 No evil I'll fear

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.860
 Your rod and your staff

00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:48.400
 Bring me comfort and cheer

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.680
 In the sight of my enemies

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.920
 A table you spread

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.820
 The oil of rejoicing

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:55.200
 You pour on my head

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.079
 My cup overflows

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.919
 And I'm graciously fed

00:20:58.919 --> 00:21:00.720
 So surely your covenant

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.799
 Mercy and grace

00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:03.619
 Will follow me closely

00:21:03.619 --> 00:21:04.779
 In all of my ways

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:06.279
 I will dwell

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.539
 In the house of the Lord

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.839
 All my days

00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:09.599
 The whole psalm

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.379
 Psalm 23

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:12.099
 The Lord is my shepherd

00:21:12.099 --> 00:21:19.980
 The Lord is my shepherd

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:24.699
 No want shall I know

00:21:24.699 --> 00:21:29.000
 He makes me lie down

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:33.079
 Where the green pastures grow

00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:38.079
 He leads me to rest

00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:42.179
 Where the calm waters flow

00:21:42.179 --> 00:21:47.019
 He leads me to rest

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:51.299
 Where the calm waters flow

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:56.259
 By wandering steps

00:21:56.259 --> 00:22:01.059
 He brings back to his way

00:22:01.059 --> 00:22:06.319
 In shape of righteousness

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.159
 Making me stay

00:22:10.159 --> 00:22:14.119
 And this he has done

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.859
 His great name to display

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:22.940
 And this he has done

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:26.859
 His great name to display

00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:32.619
 Though I walk in Dex Valley

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:37.219
 Where darkness is near

00:22:37.219 --> 00:22:42.019
 Because you are with me

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:46.159
 No evil and fear

00:22:46.159 --> 00:22:50.299
 Your rod and your staff

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:54.919
 Bring me comfort and cheer

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:59.220
 Your rod and your staff

00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:03.920
 Bring me comfort and cheer

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.920
 In the sight of my enemies

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.920
 The table you spread

00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:16.920
 The oil of rejoicing

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:22.180
 Here pour on my hands

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:25.920
 My cup overflows

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.920
 And I'm graciously fed

00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:34.920
 My cup overflows

00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.920
 And I'm graciously fed

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:45.920
 So surely your covenant

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.920
 And mercy and grace

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.920
 Will follow me closely

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:57.920
 In all of my ways

00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:01.920
 I will dwell in the house

00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:05.920
 Of the Lord Almighty

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:09.920
 I will dwell in the house

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:13.920
 Of the Lord Almighty

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:22.380
 Let's turn again to our second reading

00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:23.080
 Psalm 100

00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:26.460
 Just reflect for a little

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:27.920
 On this psalm

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:29.460
 Just read at the beginning

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:30.900
 I won't read the whole psalm again

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:32.880
 Make a joyful noise

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.259
 To the Lord all the earth

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:36.880
 Serve the Lord with gladness

00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.060
 Come into his presence

00:24:39.060 --> 00:24:40.740
 With singing

00:24:40.740 --> 00:24:41.839
 And so on

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.039
 Now we know that

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.720
 Thanksgiving

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.980
 Is an essential part of life

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:51.759
 People who don't give thanks

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:54.940
 Just even in a general way

00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:57.039
 Just in life in itself

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.799
 Are by and large

00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:01.039
 I would say fairly unhappy people

00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:04.579
 Because giving thanks

00:25:04.579 --> 00:25:07.359
 Is something that really is spontaneous

00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:08.339
 From a heart

00:25:08.339 --> 00:25:10.159
 That appreciates

00:25:10.159 --> 00:25:10.819
 And a heart

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:12.599
 That responds

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.139
 To life in general

00:25:15.139 --> 00:25:17.259
 So if you find somebody

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.319
 Who is incapable

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:19.879
 Or rarely gives thanks

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:20.759
 You say to yourself

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.779
 Well there's something wrong

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:22.939
 With this person

00:25:22.939 --> 00:25:24.699
 It would almost look like

00:25:24.699 --> 00:25:26.819
 This person is fairly unhappy

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:29.059
 And certainly for a Christian

00:25:29.059 --> 00:25:31.079
 Not to be giving thanks

00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:32.480
 Is almost a contradiction

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:35.119
 Because it's part and partial

00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:36.480
 Of our Christian life

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:39.380
 And you cannot read the scriptures

00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:39.920
 You can't

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:40.559
 Particularly you can't

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.400
 Go through the Psalms

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:42.680
 Without being made aware

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.440
 Of thanksgiving

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.420
 And praise

00:25:46.420 --> 00:25:48.380
 Really being at the very heart

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:49.440
 It's at the very heart

00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.160
 Of the Psalter

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:52.240
 And so it would be very difficult

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.120
 For a Christian

00:25:53.120 --> 00:25:55.360
 To be somebody

00:25:55.360 --> 00:25:56.819
 Who is not a person

00:25:56.819 --> 00:25:58.720
 Who is given to praise

00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.000
 And given to thanksgiving

00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:03.620
 Of course our time of thanksgiving

00:26:03.620 --> 00:26:04.940
 Is a very important part

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:06.079
 Of our Christian calendar

00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.500
 It has been for years and years

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.199
 We used to call it

00:26:09.199 --> 00:26:10.500
 The harvest thanksgiving

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:12.139
 And rightly so

00:26:12.139 --> 00:26:13.159
 Because I suppose

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:14.299
 Back in the day

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:16.099
 Most people were involved

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:17.799
 At one level or another

00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:18.139
 With

00:26:18.139 --> 00:26:19.879
 Even if it was only

00:26:19.879 --> 00:26:20.759
 A few

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:22.139
 Crops

00:26:22.139 --> 00:26:22.819
 And of

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:25.019
 Whether it was

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:25.619
 Hay

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:26.359
 Or barley

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:26.859
 Or whatever

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:28.199
 But most people

00:26:28.199 --> 00:26:28.980
 Had something

00:26:28.980 --> 00:26:30.639
 Or planted something

00:26:30.639 --> 00:26:31.639
 Or grew something

00:26:31.639 --> 00:26:32.839
 And so the harvest

00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:33.519
 Thanksgiving

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.199
 Was a very

00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:35.660
 Very important part

00:26:35.660 --> 00:26:36.299
 Because there was

00:26:36.299 --> 00:26:37.140
 An acknowledging

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:39.140
 That God is the God

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.940
 Of the seasons

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:41.860
 God said that

00:26:41.860 --> 00:26:43.140
 There would always be

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:43.720
 Seed time

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.700
 And harvest time

00:26:44.700 --> 00:26:46.019
 And so

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:47.460
 It is important

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.019
 That we

00:26:48.019 --> 00:26:50.000
 Do give God

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.840
 The thanks

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:52.299
 That is due to his name

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:54.080
 Because we know

00:26:54.080 --> 00:26:55.059
 That he is ultimately

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:57.100
 The God of the seasons

00:26:57.100 --> 00:26:58.700
 So

00:26:58.700 --> 00:26:59.940
 Thanksgiving

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:01.180
 And it is right

00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:02.220
 That we always have

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:03.420
 This period of

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:03.900
 Thanksgiving

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:05.660
 Every year

00:27:05.660 --> 00:27:08.120
 Now this psalm

00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:08.860
 As we see

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.440
 Psalm 100

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:10.059
 Is a psalm

00:27:10.059 --> 00:27:10.740
 That is bursting

00:27:10.740 --> 00:27:11.440
 With praise

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.580
 And thanksgiving

00:27:12.580 --> 00:27:14.000
 And in a sense

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.779
 It is almost fitting

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.299
 That it is

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:16.220
 Psalm 100

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.640
 Because

00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:18.320
 100 in a sense

00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:20.039
 Is a standout number

00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:21.480
 Whenever you get

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:21.960
 100

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.220
 It is always something

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:24.299
 That stops you

00:27:24.299 --> 00:27:25.180
 Whether it is

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:26.059
 Like for instance

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:26.660
 In cricket

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:27.980
 And they talk about

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:29.220
 Somebody getting

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:30.500
 A century of runs

00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:30.840
 And they

00:27:30.840 --> 00:27:31.980
 They count out

00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:32.900
 How many centuries

00:27:32.900 --> 00:27:33.500
 He made

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:33.660
 Or

00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:34.880
 We

00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:36.200
 When somebody reaches

00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:37.500
 100 years of age

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:39.259
 It is a landmark time

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:40.759
 And there is

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.660
 Well it was

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:42.800
 Up until very recently

00:27:42.800 --> 00:27:44.000
 A card

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.660
 With a message

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:45.620
 Came from the queen

00:27:45.620 --> 00:27:46.200
 Now it is

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.240
 It is the king

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.540
 So

00:27:47.540 --> 00:27:49.800
 100 is always recognised

00:27:49.800 --> 00:27:51.259
 When you go through

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.740
 The bible

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.640
 You will often see

00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:53.540
 100 as a

00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:54.840
 Very special number

00:27:54.840 --> 00:27:56.440
 And it is only fitting

00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:57.380
 That Psalm 100

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:59.080
 Is this psalm

00:27:59.080 --> 00:28:00.120
 That is just

00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:00.940
 Filled

00:28:00.940 --> 00:28:01.759
 It is bursting

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:03.160
 With praise

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.440
 And thanksgiving

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.019
 To God

00:28:05.019 --> 00:28:06.500
 And we find

00:28:06.500 --> 00:28:07.600
 The title

00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:08.140
 If you have it

00:28:08.140 --> 00:28:08.759
 It is an ESV

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.259
 You have it

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:10.660
 It says at the top of it

00:28:10.660 --> 00:28:12.320
 His steadfast love

00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:13.279
 Endures forever

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.420
 And what a wonderful

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:16.880
 Thought that is

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:19.400
 God's steadfast love

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:20.580
 Endures forever

00:28:20.580 --> 00:28:21.720
 And even if there was

00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:22.620
 No other statement

00:28:22.620 --> 00:28:23.220
 Made

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:24.019
 Other than

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:25.620
 The title that we have

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.180
 Over that

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.019
 That would be

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:27.940
 A reason itself

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:28.560
 For praise

00:28:28.560 --> 00:28:29.320
 And thanksgiving

00:28:29.320 --> 00:28:29.779
 Tonight

00:28:29.779 --> 00:28:31.259
 But then we see

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.880
 Below that

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:32.640
 It says

00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:33.500
 A psalm

00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:35.100
 For giving thanks

00:28:35.100 --> 00:28:35.820
 So that is what

00:28:35.820 --> 00:28:37.080
 What this

00:28:37.080 --> 00:28:38.840
 Particular psalm

00:28:38.840 --> 00:28:40.120
 Is here tonight

00:28:40.120 --> 00:28:41.720
 And it begins

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:43.320
 By showing us

00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:45.320
 Ways of being

00:28:45.320 --> 00:28:46.460
 Thankful to the Lord

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:46.940
 It says

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:48.560
 Make a joyful noise

00:28:48.560 --> 00:28:49.220
 To the Lord

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:50.460
 Serve the Lord

00:28:50.460 --> 00:28:51.279
 With gladness

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:52.299
 And come into

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:53.140
 His presence

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:54.100
 With singing

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:55.500
 So to make

00:28:55.500 --> 00:28:56.520
 A joyful noise

00:28:56.520 --> 00:28:57.020
 In a sense

00:28:57.020 --> 00:28:57.500
 This is making

00:28:57.500 --> 00:28:59.680
 A public confession

00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:01.160
 It is

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:02.020
 It's almost like

00:29:02.020 --> 00:29:03.300
 A royal fanfare

00:29:03.300 --> 00:29:04.960
 It's a declaration

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.040
 Before God

00:29:06.040 --> 00:29:07.759
 That he is God

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.740
 Of heaven and earth

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:10.520
 And that he is

00:29:10.520 --> 00:29:11.660
 Worthy of honour

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:12.400
 And praise

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.120
 And glory

00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:14.960
 In fact

00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:15.660
 You'll often find

00:29:15.660 --> 00:29:16.320
 In the Psalms

00:29:16.320 --> 00:29:16.800
 There's a

00:29:16.800 --> 00:29:17.780
 A cry

00:29:17.779 --> 00:29:18.379
 A call

00:29:18.379 --> 00:29:18.819
 For us

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:19.139
 To

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:21.740
 Worship God

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:22.639
 Making a noise

00:29:22.639 --> 00:29:24.059
 Now the singing

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.879
 Tonight

00:29:24.879 --> 00:29:26.220
 Was really

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.000
 Beautiful

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.720
 And

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:30.819
 So it should be

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:31.899
 Because

00:29:31.899 --> 00:29:32.839
 It's God

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:33.480
 We're praising

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:35.339
 And I know

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:36.339
 That everybody

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:37.319
 Hasn't been blessed

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.819
 With the best voice

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:40.539
 Some people

00:29:40.539 --> 00:29:41.420
 Have been blessed

00:29:41.420 --> 00:29:42.259
 With great voices

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.960
 Other people

00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:43.980
 Haven't

00:29:43.980 --> 00:29:45.899
 I know some people

00:29:45.899 --> 00:29:46.359
 And they long

00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:47.240
 To get to glory

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.819
 One man in particular

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.700
 Very much used

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:51.339
 By the Lord

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:52.480
 Was the late

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:53.539
 Kenny MacDonald

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.180
 And he couldn't

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:54.880
 Sing at all

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.960
 And he would say

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.460
 You know this

00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:57.079
 I can't wait

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.839
 To get to glory

00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.559
 Where I'll be able

00:29:58.559 --> 00:29:59.920
 To express

00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:01.120
 To praise God

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.500
 Because

00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:02.900
 It's something

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.920
 I can't do here

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.359
 I haven't

00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:05.279
 Just don't have

00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:06.420
 A singing voice

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:06.960
 So

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.859
 But we can still

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:08.599
 Do it with our heart

00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:09.319
 And we do

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:10.660
 Praise God

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:11.779
 With our heart

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.279
 As well

00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:13.319
 Even if we can

00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:13.519
 But

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:14.559
 So often

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.279
 In the Bible

00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:16.140
 It talks about

00:30:16.140 --> 00:30:17.059
 Giving

00:30:17.059 --> 00:30:17.919
 Visible

00:30:17.919 --> 00:30:19.039
 And audible

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.740
 Expression

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:20.200
 To God

00:30:20.200 --> 00:30:20.679
 For instance

00:30:20.679 --> 00:30:21.740
 In Psalm 47

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:22.700
 It says

00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:23.919
 Clap your hands

00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:24.819
 All peoples

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:26.139
 Shout to God

00:30:26.139 --> 00:30:27.980
 With loud songs

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:28.859
 Now

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:30.099
 I know our

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:31.639
 Culture is different

00:30:31.639 --> 00:30:32.500
 I'm sure we would

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.779
 Get a shock

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.639
 If we started

00:30:34.639 --> 00:30:35.079
 Actually

00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:36.279
 Doing that

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.700
 Just now

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:37.440
 And making these

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:37.819
 Shouts

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:38.539
 And clap

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:40.200
 But the idea

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:41.259
 We find

00:30:41.259 --> 00:30:41.839
 So often

00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:42.440
 In scripture

00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:43.559
 Is that

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.519
 God is somebody

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.399
 Who is worthy

00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:46.599
 Of praise

00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:47.039
 And honour

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.539
 And when you

00:30:47.539 --> 00:30:48.059
 Look round

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.859
 In this world

00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:50.759
 And you see

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.680
 So many people

00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:52.319
 Who are calling

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.159
 Out their rights

00:30:53.159 --> 00:30:53.659
 And people

00:30:53.659 --> 00:30:54.700
 Who are shouting

00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:55.339
 About this

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.859
 And shouting

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.500
 About that

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:57.700
 They do shout

00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:58.659
 They do make

00:30:58.659 --> 00:30:59.220
 A noise

00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:00.720
 And so often

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.240
 The church

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:01.680
 Is just

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.599
 It's almost

00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:03.139
 Like a wee

00:31:03.139 --> 00:31:03.680
 Whisper

00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.600
 You look at

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:06.940
 Football matches

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:07.680
 And the singing

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.440
 And terracing

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:10.160
 And the shouting

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.860
 And yet

00:31:11.860 --> 00:31:13.019
 And so often

00:31:13.019 --> 00:31:13.420
 When we

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:14.160
 Maybe come

00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:15.120
 To worship God

00:31:15.120 --> 00:31:16.539
 Might only be

00:31:16.539 --> 00:31:17.080
 A whisper

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:17.799
 Or

00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:19.400
 A poor

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:19.940
 Sound

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:20.180
 Now

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:21.500
 Don't get me wrong

00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:22.580
 I'm not saying

00:31:22.580 --> 00:31:22.980
 That's how

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:23.960
 It is here

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.900
 But it can be

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:26.920
 And as I say

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:27.799
 I thank the Lord

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:28.180
 Tonight

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.560
 For the

00:31:28.560 --> 00:31:29.500
 The lovely

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.779
 The lovely singing

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:32.259
 So it's important

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:33.580
 Make a joy

00:31:33.579 --> 00:31:34.599
 Joyful noise

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.039
 To the

00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:35.980
 To the Lord

00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:37.799
 All the earth

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:39.379
 And then

00:31:39.379 --> 00:31:41.099
 It says in verse 2

00:31:41.099 --> 00:31:42.099
 Serve the Lord

00:31:42.099 --> 00:31:43.199
 With gladness

00:31:43.199 --> 00:31:44.599
 And you know

00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:45.359
 This is the most

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:46.559
 Incredible privilege

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.299
 That you and I

00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:47.819
 Have been given

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:48.939
 Because all of us

00:31:48.939 --> 00:31:49.659
 In here tonight

00:31:49.659 --> 00:31:50.679
 If you love the Lord

00:31:50.679 --> 00:31:52.279
 You are in service

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.019
 To the Lord

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:54.980
 And the Lord

00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:55.799
 Will always give you

00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:56.599
 Something to do

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:58.099
 And sometimes

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:59.039
 We need a little bit

00:31:59.039 --> 00:31:59.839
 Of pushing into

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.559
 That service

00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:01.419
 But we should all

00:32:01.419 --> 00:32:02.099
 Be involved

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:03.559
 In serving the Lord

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.200
 And here he is

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.279
 The creator

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.299
 Of heaven

00:32:07.299 --> 00:32:07.940
 And earth

00:32:07.940 --> 00:32:09.799
 And he has us

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:11.099
 As his servants

00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:12.480
 Here in this world

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.399
 Because you think about it

00:32:14.399 --> 00:32:15.319
 The Lord didn't send

00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.519
 The Lord doesn't send

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.839
 Angels down from heaven

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.460
 To preach

00:32:18.460 --> 00:32:20.220
 Or to lead the singing

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:22.200
 Or to open churches

00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.319
 Or to do the Sunday school

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.139
 Or to teach people

00:32:26.139 --> 00:32:27.299
 Or to witness

00:32:27.299 --> 00:32:28.839
 Or to help

00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.399
 Or to be missionaries

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.280
 It's not angels

00:32:31.280 --> 00:32:31.720
 He sent

00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:32.220
 It's us

00:32:32.220 --> 00:32:33.620
 Uses us

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:35.140
 And so

00:32:35.140 --> 00:32:36.100
 We've always got to

00:32:36.100 --> 00:32:36.840
 Remember that

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:38.380
 The witnessing

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:39.300
 The telling

00:32:39.300 --> 00:32:40.600
 Of people

00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:42.160
 Telling people

00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:43.259
 About Jesus Christ

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:45.080
 It's our responsibility

00:32:45.080 --> 00:32:46.259
 It's our duty

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:47.360
 It's our

00:32:47.360 --> 00:32:49.000
 Work

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:49.800
 To serve

00:32:49.800 --> 00:32:50.960
 And so

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.019
 We're told here

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:53.620
 That we are to

00:32:53.620 --> 00:32:54.600
 Serve the Lord

00:32:54.600 --> 00:32:56.240
 With

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:57.519
 What does it say

00:32:57.519 --> 00:32:58.380
 Serve the Lord

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:59.660
 With gladness

00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:01.140
 And so

00:33:01.140 --> 00:33:02.400
 When we come in

00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:03.600
 To service with the Lord

00:33:03.600 --> 00:33:04.820
 When we come to serve

00:33:04.820 --> 00:33:05.460
 When we come to

00:33:05.460 --> 00:33:06.340
 Worship the Lord

00:33:06.340 --> 00:33:07.780
 We need to have

00:33:07.780 --> 00:33:08.860
 Gladness in our heart

00:33:08.860 --> 00:33:09.320
 And I think

00:33:09.320 --> 00:33:10.920
 There's quite a responsibility

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.660
 Upon us

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:12.020
 Because

00:33:12.020 --> 00:33:13.760
 Sometimes we can

00:33:13.760 --> 00:33:14.560
 Come into church

00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:15.700
 Going through all kinds

00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:15.960
 Of do

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:16.880
 We can come in with

00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:17.660
 And we do

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:18.740
 With all our issues

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:19.640
 With all our baggage

00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.000
 With all that's been going on

00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.060
 Throughout the day

00:33:22.060 --> 00:33:22.860
 Or throughout the week

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:25.540
 And that's important as well

00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:27.260
 That we come with these things

00:33:27.259 --> 00:33:28.740
 And bring them before the Lord

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:31.619
 But there comes a specific time

00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:32.680
 When our focus

00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:34.519
 Is upon the Lord

00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:36.299
 And we must put aside

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:37.460
 All these other things

00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:38.879
 And focus upon Him

00:33:38.879 --> 00:33:40.420
 And give Him

00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:41.539
 This worship

00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:42.500
 And this service

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:44.180
 That is due to His name

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:45.660
 But

00:33:45.660 --> 00:33:46.960
 Whatever we're doing

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.539
 For the Lord

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:48.720
 Make sure that we do

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.900
 Our service

00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:51.240
 With gladness

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.039
 Because the Lord

00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.000
 Sees our attitude

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:55.720
 He sees how we serve

00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:57.420
 He sees the spirit

00:33:57.420 --> 00:33:58.420
 That we have

00:33:58.420 --> 00:33:59.360
 In our service

00:33:59.360 --> 00:34:01.460
 He sees whether we do it

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:01.940
 Willingly

00:34:01.940 --> 00:34:03.519
 Or grudgingly

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:05.579
 Whether we do it gladly

00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:07.620
 Or whether it's just

00:34:07.620 --> 00:34:09.220
 A burden to us

00:34:09.220 --> 00:34:10.840
 You know

00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:11.019
 If

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:13.720
 If you're out for a meal

00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:15.139
 And

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:16.800
 The waiter or waitress

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:18.659
 Is sort of

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:20.579
 Really grumpy

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:21.119
 And kind of

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:22.699
 Throwing the food at you

00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:23.719
 I don't mean

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.639
 Like throwing the food

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.139
 But throwing the plates down

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:26.339
 And

00:34:26.339 --> 00:34:27.339
 It's like

00:34:27.339 --> 00:34:28.859
 Everything is a

00:34:28.859 --> 00:34:29.759
 It's a burden

00:34:29.759 --> 00:34:30.259
 And you just

00:34:30.259 --> 00:34:30.899
 You can see

00:34:30.899 --> 00:34:31.480
 This person

00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:32.480
 Just does not want

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:33.079
 To be here

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:34.819
 And their whole

00:34:34.819 --> 00:34:35.559
 Demeanor

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:36.799
 And everything about it

00:34:36.799 --> 00:34:37.279
 Is just

00:34:37.279 --> 00:34:38.299
 In fact

00:34:38.299 --> 00:34:38.480
 It

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.759
 Spoils the meal

00:34:39.759 --> 00:34:41.480
 Because the actual

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:42.659
 Service that you can

00:34:42.659 --> 00:34:44.000
 That you can get

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.139
 Can either be

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:47.439
 An uplifting experience

00:34:47.439 --> 00:34:47.919
 Or else

00:34:47.919 --> 00:34:48.899
 It can put you down

00:34:48.900 --> 00:34:51.260
 And how much more

00:34:51.260 --> 00:34:52.420
 With regard to

00:34:52.420 --> 00:34:53.539
 Our service

00:34:53.539 --> 00:34:55.139
 To the king of glory

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:56.800
 Because

00:34:56.800 --> 00:34:58.160
 We're serving

00:34:58.160 --> 00:34:59.559
 Every single Christian

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.420
 All of you

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:01.800
 You're serving the lord

00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:03.200
 Wherever he has put you

00:35:03.200 --> 00:35:04.579
 And whether it's

00:35:04.579 --> 00:35:05.300
 In a big thing

00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:06.079
 Or in a little thing

00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:07.079
 You're still serving

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.619
 So you make sure

00:35:08.619 --> 00:35:10.360
 That your service

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:11.000
 Is done

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:11.860
 With

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:13.079
 Gladness

00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:14.220
 Because that's what

00:35:14.220 --> 00:35:14.840
 That is

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.599
 That's what is

00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:16.800
 Required of it

00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:17.300
 Of us

00:35:17.300 --> 00:35:18.480
 That our heart

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.180
 Is in it

00:35:19.180 --> 00:35:20.760
 And that we are

00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:21.300
 To come

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:23.019
 Into his presence

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:24.320
 With singing

00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:25.100
 And again

00:35:25.100 --> 00:35:27.060
 This involves

00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:28.840
 Like our whole being

00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.600
 Where we're giving

00:35:29.600 --> 00:35:31.620
 We're giving to the lord

00:35:31.620 --> 00:35:32.980
 A sense of

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:34.320
 Our adoration

00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:35.080
 To him

00:35:35.080 --> 00:35:35.960
 Of we're paying

00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:36.420
 As it were

00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:37.980
 Like homage to him

00:35:37.980 --> 00:35:39.580
 And as we go back

00:35:39.580 --> 00:35:40.560
 To verse 1

00:35:40.560 --> 00:35:41.120
 Where it says

00:35:41.120 --> 00:35:42.220
 Make a joyful noise

00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:42.780
 To the lord

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:43.240
 We're saying

00:35:43.240 --> 00:35:44.200
 All people

00:35:44.200 --> 00:35:45.039
 We know how it goes

00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:45.880
 In the psalm

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:46.700
 In the metrics

00:35:46.699 --> 00:35:47.619
 All people

00:35:47.619 --> 00:35:48.199
 That on earth

00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:48.579
 To dwell

00:35:48.579 --> 00:35:49.679
 Sing to the lord

00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:51.079
 With cheerful voice

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.539
 It's like

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:53.159
 It's like the whole world

00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:53.399
 Is

00:35:53.399 --> 00:35:55.980
 They're making a claim

00:35:55.980 --> 00:35:56.859
 On

00:35:56.859 --> 00:35:58.299
 Who god is

00:35:58.299 --> 00:35:59.599
 And so

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.679
 We have to

00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:01.719
 We have to

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:02.539
 Give

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:03.379
 Voice

00:36:03.379 --> 00:36:04.579
 In our praise

00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:05.519
 And then verse 3

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:06.000
 It says

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.000
 Know

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.460
 That the lord

00:36:08.460 --> 00:36:09.639
 He is god

00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.179
 Yes we give thanks

00:36:12.179 --> 00:36:13.639
 And we do so joyfully

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.739
 But we also do it

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:16.739
 Intelligently

00:36:16.739 --> 00:36:18.239
 In other words

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:20.099
 We know

00:36:20.099 --> 00:36:21.679
 Who we're

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:22.299
 Who we're

00:36:22.299 --> 00:36:23.179
 Singing to

00:36:23.179 --> 00:36:24.019
 We know who we're

00:36:24.019 --> 00:36:24.480
 Praising

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:25.779
 We know who we're

00:36:25.779 --> 00:36:26.719
 Giving thanks to

00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:27.900
 We're not doing this

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:28.799
 Kind of blindly

00:36:28.799 --> 00:36:31.199
 We know

00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:32.619
 Who this god is

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.859
 And tonight

00:36:33.859 --> 00:36:34.799
 We give him thanks

00:36:34.799 --> 00:36:35.539
 We give him thanks

00:36:35.539 --> 00:36:36.219
 For who he is

00:36:36.219 --> 00:36:36.719
 In himself

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:38.559
 For his glory

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.460
 His majesty

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:40.599
 His authority

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.400
 His dominion

00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:42.039
 His rule

00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:42.980
 His government

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:44.360
 We give thanks

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:45.420
 To god

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:46.900
 For all that

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:47.659
 He is in himself

00:36:47.659 --> 00:36:48.539
 And all that

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:49.579
 He's done for us

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:51.179
 For answering

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:52.699
 Our prayers

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:54.779
 For his grace

00:36:54.779 --> 00:36:55.659
 For his mercy

00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:57.299
 For his pardon

00:36:57.299 --> 00:36:58.139
 His forgiveness

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:58.940
 His peace

00:36:58.940 --> 00:36:59.960
 His love

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:00.860
 His joy

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:02.500
 Just so much

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:03.539
 That he gives us

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:05.000
 And so

00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:06.199
 When we

00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:06.940
 When we come

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:08.199
 Worshiping the lord

00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:09.579
 That's what it says

00:37:09.579 --> 00:37:10.900
 We know the lord

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:11.619
 We know who

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:12.239
 We're worshipping

00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:13.340
 Many

00:37:13.340 --> 00:37:15.380
 Don't worship god

00:37:15.380 --> 00:37:16.819
 Because they don't know

00:37:16.819 --> 00:37:18.559
 I'm sure many people

00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:19.360
 Wonder why are they

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:19.619
 Going

00:37:19.619 --> 00:37:20.719
 Why are they going

00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:21.759
 To church during the week

00:37:21.759 --> 00:37:22.920
 What's it all about

00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:24.980
 Well if they knew god

00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:25.900
 They would join us

00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:27.239
 But it's because

00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:28.119
 They don't know

00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:29.480
 They don't know

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:30.279
 Who god is

00:37:30.279 --> 00:37:31.039
 They've never come

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.299
 To grasp

00:37:32.299 --> 00:37:33.219
 Who he is

00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:34.199
 If they did

00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:35.360
 If they had the same

00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:36.579
 Understanding

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.559
 And knowledge

00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.739
 Of who god is

00:37:38.739 --> 00:37:39.879
 Then it would be different

00:37:39.879 --> 00:37:40.259
 They would

00:37:40.259 --> 00:37:41.339
 They would join

00:37:41.339 --> 00:37:42.139
 With us

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:43.879
 And that's what

00:37:43.879 --> 00:37:44.939
 What we do

00:37:44.939 --> 00:37:45.539
 We worship

00:37:45.539 --> 00:37:46.919
 A god we know

00:37:46.919 --> 00:37:47.500
 Remember how

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:48.339
 Paul in Athens

00:37:48.339 --> 00:37:49.119
 He came across

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.139
 People who are

00:37:50.139 --> 00:37:50.839
 Worshipping the

00:37:50.839 --> 00:37:52.459
 Unknown god

00:37:52.459 --> 00:37:54.339
 None of us

00:37:54.339 --> 00:37:54.759
 Tonight

00:37:54.759 --> 00:37:56.079
 Are worshipping

00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:57.439
 The unknown god

00:37:57.439 --> 00:37:58.379
 We know

00:37:58.379 --> 00:37:59.679
 Who we worship

00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.299
 And then it says

00:38:01.299 --> 00:38:03.819
 Know that the lord

00:38:03.819 --> 00:38:05.239
 He is god

00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:06.739
 It is he who

00:38:06.739 --> 00:38:07.459
 Made us

00:38:07.459 --> 00:38:08.579
 And we

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:09.419
 Are his

00:38:09.419 --> 00:38:10.819
 Now Isaiah

00:38:10.819 --> 00:38:12.299
 Terms that

00:38:12.299 --> 00:38:13.979
 We are the work

00:38:13.979 --> 00:38:14.779
 Of his hands

00:38:14.779 --> 00:38:16.500
 And when you think

00:38:16.500 --> 00:38:16.879
 About it

00:38:16.879 --> 00:38:17.479
 The awesome

00:38:17.479 --> 00:38:18.500
 Skill

00:38:18.500 --> 00:38:20.839
 And the intricate

00:38:20.839 --> 00:38:23.139
 Minuteness

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:24.000
 That went into

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:25.819
 The creation

00:38:25.819 --> 00:38:26.879
 Of us

00:38:26.879 --> 00:38:28.859
 When you think

00:38:28.859 --> 00:38:29.679
 That from the dust

00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:30.279
 To the ground

00:38:30.279 --> 00:38:32.039
 That god took

00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.420
 And he made

00:38:34.420 --> 00:38:35.099
 He formed

00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:36.539
 When you think

00:38:36.539 --> 00:38:36.920
 Of the

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.739
 Skeletal structure

00:38:38.739 --> 00:38:39.539
 That we are

00:38:39.539 --> 00:38:41.159
 And we think

00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:41.820
 Of all the

00:38:41.820 --> 00:38:42.699
 The

00:38:42.699 --> 00:38:43.980
 The different

00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:45.539
 Whether it's

00:38:45.539 --> 00:38:46.179
 The respiratory

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:46.900
 System

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:47.719
 Or the pulmonary

00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:48.279
 System

00:38:48.279 --> 00:38:49.099
 Or the reproductive

00:38:49.099 --> 00:38:49.619
 System

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:50.239
 Or the nervous

00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:50.759
 System

00:38:50.759 --> 00:38:51.980
 And all the joints

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:53.039
 And all the tendons

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:53.840
 And all the muscles

00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:55.539
 And this awesome

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:56.719
 Brain

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:58.480
 Who just

00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:59.739
 Just beyond

00:38:59.739 --> 00:39:01.539
 Any mind

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:02.480
 The comprehension

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.599
 To comprehend

00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:05.279
 Just what it is

00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:06.919
 And it's from the

00:39:06.919 --> 00:39:07.699
 Dust to the ground

00:39:07.699 --> 00:39:09.239
 When you think

00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:10.539
 Of the wisdom

00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:11.539
 And the planning

00:39:11.539 --> 00:39:13.500
 And the power

00:39:13.500 --> 00:39:14.980
 That went in

00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:16.239
 To the creation

00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:16.699
 And then

00:39:16.699 --> 00:39:17.699
 In the creating

00:39:17.699 --> 00:39:18.259
 Of the woman

00:39:18.259 --> 00:39:19.099
 From the man

00:39:19.099 --> 00:39:19.919
 Taking the rib

00:39:19.919 --> 00:39:20.839
 And built

00:39:20.839 --> 00:39:21.559
 And fashioned

00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:22.679
 And shaped

00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.319
 And brought together

00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:26.240
 And that's

00:39:26.240 --> 00:39:27.660
 That's what

00:39:27.660 --> 00:39:28.720
 It's telling us

00:39:28.720 --> 00:39:29.039
 Here

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.559
 Know that the

00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:31.400
 Lord he is God

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:32.360
 It is he

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.800
 Who has made us

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:35.980
 And we are his

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.519
 And it's little

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:37.220
 Wonder that the

00:39:37.220 --> 00:39:37.700
 Psalmist

00:39:37.700 --> 00:39:38.400
 Was saying

00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:39.260
 We are fearfully

00:39:39.260 --> 00:39:40.500
 And wonderfully

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:41.000
 Made

00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:42.539
 But as we know

00:39:42.539 --> 00:39:43.180
 Tragically

00:39:43.180 --> 00:39:45.420
 Despite the wonder

00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:46.340
 Of what God did

00:39:46.340 --> 00:39:47.180
 It wasn't enough

00:39:47.180 --> 00:39:49.080
 Remember how

00:39:49.080 --> 00:39:49.800
 Adam and Eve

00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:50.940
 What God

00:39:50.940 --> 00:39:51.820
 Did for them

00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:52.320
 What God

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:53.000
 Made them

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.860
 What God

00:39:53.860 --> 00:39:54.900
 Provided for them

00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:56.039
 It still wasn't

00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:56.380
 Enough

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:57.500
 They wanted more

00:39:57.500 --> 00:39:59.880
 And it's still

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:00.700
 The same today

00:40:00.700 --> 00:40:02.440
 And we know

00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:03.099
 The result

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.539
 Of where

00:40:03.539 --> 00:40:04.780
 Everything

00:40:04.780 --> 00:40:05.480
 Beautiful

00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:06.440
 That was made

00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:08.140
 Was smashed

00:40:08.140 --> 00:40:10.000
 Not only did God

00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:10.539
 Make us

00:40:10.539 --> 00:40:11.740
 Brilliantly

00:40:11.740 --> 00:40:12.440
 Physically

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:13.180
 And mentally

00:40:13.180 --> 00:40:14.740
 But he also

00:40:14.740 --> 00:40:15.800
 Morally

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:16.680
 And spiritually

00:40:16.680 --> 00:40:17.320
 And knowledge

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:18.740
 Righteousness

00:40:18.740 --> 00:40:19.220
 And holiness

00:40:19.220 --> 00:40:19.900
 And bang

00:40:19.900 --> 00:40:21.380
 The fall

00:40:21.380 --> 00:40:22.740
 Shattered

00:40:22.740 --> 00:40:23.539
 Everything

00:40:23.539 --> 00:40:24.800
 Not only

00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:25.320
 Ourselves

00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:25.659
 But the

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:25.840
 Whole

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.440
 Creation

00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:27.460
 The whole

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:27.880
 Creation

00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:28.440
 Is groaning

00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:28.980
 Everything

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:29.779
 That's why

00:40:29.779 --> 00:40:30.500
 There's tsunamis

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.139
 And earthquakes

00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:31.779
 And floods

00:40:31.779 --> 00:40:32.480
 And droughts

00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:32.920
 And everything

00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:33.960
 The fall

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:35.059
 Impacted

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:36.039
 Everything

00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:36.840
 Altogether

00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.100
 But you

00:40:39.100 --> 00:40:39.500
 God

00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:39.519
 God

00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:39.539
 God

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:39.960
 Didn't give

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:40.500
 Up on us

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:41.760
 God

00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:42.300
 Came after

00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:42.620
 Us

00:40:42.620 --> 00:40:44.079
 And right

00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:44.380
 From the

00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:44.960
 Very dawn

00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:45.519
 Of history

00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:46.039
 We find

00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:46.519
 God's

00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:46.960
 Promises

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:47.320
 Running

00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:47.680
 Right

00:40:47.680 --> 00:40:48.039
 Through the

00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:48.380
 Word

00:40:48.380 --> 00:40:49.700
 Because God

00:40:49.700 --> 00:40:50.460
 Had a purpose

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:51.559
 In all that

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:51.920
 He did

00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.300
 And his love

00:40:53.300 --> 00:40:53.320
 And his love

00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:54.099
 His patience

00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:55.119
 His foreknowledge

00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:55.639
 He worked

00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:56.119
 It all

00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:57.619
 And so we

00:40:57.619 --> 00:40:58.139
 Are his

00:40:58.139 --> 00:40:59.019
 Twice over

00:40:59.019 --> 00:41:00.720
 We were his

00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:01.619
 First of all

00:41:01.619 --> 00:41:01.860
 In the

00:41:01.860 --> 00:41:03.180
 Original creation

00:41:03.180 --> 00:41:04.639
 And then we

00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:05.700
 Are his again

00:41:05.700 --> 00:41:06.860
 Through Jesus

00:41:06.860 --> 00:41:07.340
 Christ

00:41:07.340 --> 00:41:08.200
 Because Jesus

00:41:08.200 --> 00:41:09.079
 Is termed

00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:09.900
 The redeemer

00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:11.960
 And a redeemer's

00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:12.860
 Work is to buy

00:41:12.860 --> 00:41:13.260
 Back

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:14.480
 What once

00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:15.260
 Belonged

00:41:15.260 --> 00:41:16.519
 That's what

00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:17.400
 Jesus has done

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:19.000
 He has bought

00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:19.320
 Us

00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:20.460
 Back

00:41:20.460 --> 00:41:21.680
 To God

00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:22.500
 Bought us

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:23.320
 And brought us

00:41:23.320 --> 00:41:24.579
 Paid the price

00:41:24.579 --> 00:41:25.760
 And brought us

00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:26.860
 Back to God

00:41:26.860 --> 00:41:27.619
 So we

00:41:27.619 --> 00:41:28.539
 Are his

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:29.820
 So here's

00:41:29.820 --> 00:41:31.139
 A great cause

00:41:31.139 --> 00:41:32.639
 For thanksgiving

00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:34.519
 Here's this love

00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:34.820
 That

00:41:34.820 --> 00:41:36.240
 Absolutely

00:41:36.240 --> 00:41:37.139
 Refused

00:41:37.139 --> 00:41:37.900
 To give up

00:41:37.900 --> 00:41:39.599
 So we

00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:40.200
 Are his

00:41:40.200 --> 00:41:41.280
 It is

00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:42.900
 He who made us

00:41:42.900 --> 00:41:43.720
 And we are his

00:41:43.720 --> 00:41:45.119
 We are his people

00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:45.720
 And the sheep

00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:46.539
 Of his pasture

00:41:46.539 --> 00:41:48.460
 You know

00:41:48.460 --> 00:41:48.880
 It's one of the

00:41:48.880 --> 00:41:49.500
 Great themes

00:41:49.500 --> 00:41:50.159
 Of the Bible

00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:51.619
 Is that

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:52.860
 We are

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:53.900
 God's sheep

00:41:53.900 --> 00:41:54.900
 Right through

00:41:54.900 --> 00:41:55.739
 The Old Testament

00:41:55.739 --> 00:41:56.960
 God was termed

00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:58.000
 Israel's shepherd

00:41:58.000 --> 00:41:59.619
 In the New Testament

00:41:59.619 --> 00:42:00.980
 Jesus is termed

00:42:00.980 --> 00:42:01.980
 The good shepherd

00:42:01.980 --> 00:42:03.279
 The great shepherd

00:42:03.279 --> 00:42:04.659
 And the chief shepherd

00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:07.539
 And he is the shepherd

00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:08.800
 Who cares

00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:09.539
 And tends

00:42:09.539 --> 00:42:10.579
 And looks after

00:42:10.579 --> 00:42:11.539
 And provides

00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:12.840
 The shepherd

00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:13.659
 Who has never lost

00:42:13.659 --> 00:42:14.279
 A sheep

00:42:14.279 --> 00:42:15.239
 Or a lamb

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:15.800
 Ever

00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:17.000
 And so

00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:18.400
 We are

00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:19.480
 His people

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.080
 Now

00:42:21.080 --> 00:42:22.120
 I think maybe

00:42:22.120 --> 00:42:23.140
 We've said this before

00:42:23.140 --> 00:42:23.539
 But in

00:42:23.539 --> 00:42:25.720
 In the parts

00:42:25.720 --> 00:42:26.460
 Where we

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:27.420
 Belong

00:42:27.420 --> 00:42:28.100
 With the parts

00:42:28.100 --> 00:42:28.780
 Where we live

00:42:28.780 --> 00:42:29.320
 So often

00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:31.100
 Maybe with more

00:42:31.100 --> 00:42:31.460
 And more

00:42:31.460 --> 00:42:33.220
 People moving in

00:42:33.220 --> 00:42:33.539
 From

00:42:33.539 --> 00:42:34.780
 From

00:42:34.780 --> 00:42:35.680
 Out with

00:42:35.680 --> 00:42:36.940
 But it used to be such

00:42:36.940 --> 00:42:37.660
 That when you would

00:42:37.660 --> 00:42:38.380
 Meet somebody

00:42:38.380 --> 00:42:39.660
 Maybe for the first time

00:42:39.660 --> 00:42:40.820
 People would ask

00:42:40.820 --> 00:42:42.920
 Who are your people?

00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:44.280
 So that question

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.900
 Has been asked

00:42:44.900 --> 00:42:45.280
 Of you

00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.680
 Throughout your life

00:42:46.680 --> 00:42:47.140
 At some time

00:42:47.140 --> 00:42:48.060
 Who are your people?

00:42:48.120 --> 00:42:48.740
 When somebody's trying

00:42:48.740 --> 00:42:49.620
 To work out who you are

00:42:49.620 --> 00:42:50.660
 Now who are your people?

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:54.620
 And rightly or wrongly

00:42:54.620 --> 00:42:56.760
 When they maybe work out

00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:58.019
 Who your people are

00:42:58.019 --> 00:42:59.780
 They make a judgment

00:42:59.780 --> 00:43:01.300
 Of an assessment

00:43:01.300 --> 00:43:02.400
 Of who you are

00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:03.740
 Whether it's a right assessment

00:43:03.740 --> 00:43:04.840
 Or a wrong assessment

00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:06.760
 But your people

00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:07.760
 Come into play

00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:09.660
 As they look

00:43:09.660 --> 00:43:10.539
 At you

00:43:10.539 --> 00:43:12.059
 And

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:13.579
 We can apply that

00:43:13.579 --> 00:43:14.720
 Spiritually as well

00:43:14.720 --> 00:43:16.400
 Because

00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:18.519
 We are God's people

00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:20.079
 We belong

00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:20.960
 To God

00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:22.640
 And you know

00:43:22.640 --> 00:43:22.920
 How

00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:24.680
 The characteristics

00:43:24.680 --> 00:43:25.780
 And mannerisms

00:43:25.780 --> 00:43:27.820
 Run through families

00:43:27.820 --> 00:43:29.360
 You see it in people

00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:30.579
 Quite often

00:43:30.579 --> 00:43:30.960
 We say

00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:31.960
 Oh it's in their people

00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.179
 Whether it might be a wit

00:43:34.179 --> 00:43:35.400
 It might be

00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.780
 People who are really clever

00:43:37.780 --> 00:43:39.300
 Traits of character

00:43:39.300 --> 00:43:40.639
 Oh it's in the people

00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:42.300
 We often say that

00:43:42.300 --> 00:43:44.800
 Well we apply that

00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:45.539
 Spiritually

00:43:45.539 --> 00:43:47.159
 And it should be true

00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:48.119
 Of every Christian

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:49.400
 It's in the people

00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.079
 What's in the people?

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:52.420
 Christ likeness

00:43:52.420 --> 00:43:54.500
 We should be

00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:55.800
 Ressembling Jesus

00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:56.740
 More and more

00:43:56.740 --> 00:43:57.679
 Every year

00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:58.859
 Because

00:43:58.859 --> 00:44:00.359
 He is

00:44:00.359 --> 00:44:02.079
 Our saviour

00:44:02.079 --> 00:44:02.960
 He is

00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:03.819
 Our shepherd

00:44:03.819 --> 00:44:05.460
 He is at work

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:06.019
 Within us

00:44:06.019 --> 00:44:07.339
 He's moulding us

00:44:07.339 --> 00:44:08.739
 And he's shaping us

00:44:08.739 --> 00:44:10.299
 And he's changing us

00:44:10.299 --> 00:44:11.480
 Every day

00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:12.399
 Every week

00:44:12.399 --> 00:44:13.339
 Every month

00:44:13.339 --> 00:44:14.279
 Every year

00:44:14.279 --> 00:44:15.460
 So that we

00:44:15.460 --> 00:44:16.639
 Become more

00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:17.299
 And more

00:44:17.299 --> 00:44:18.199
 Like him

00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:19.919
 And

00:44:19.919 --> 00:44:20.619
 That's

00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:21.079
 That's

00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:22.199
 What the Lord

00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:22.759
 Is doing

00:44:22.759 --> 00:44:24.379
 And although

00:44:24.379 --> 00:44:25.879
 This is a wonderful thing

00:44:25.879 --> 00:44:26.379
 It says

00:44:26.380 --> 00:44:28.740
 We are his people

00:44:28.740 --> 00:44:30.619
 You know

00:44:30.619 --> 00:44:32.079
 God has made everything

00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:33.059
 In this world

00:44:33.059 --> 00:44:35.000
 We're told that

00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.140
 That everything that was made

00:44:36.140 --> 00:44:37.280
 Was made by him

00:44:37.280 --> 00:44:39.019
 But out of

00:44:39.019 --> 00:44:40.660
 Everything in the whole

00:44:40.660 --> 00:44:41.559
 Wide world

00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:42.740
 And everyone

00:44:42.740 --> 00:44:44.180
 In the whole wide world

00:44:44.180 --> 00:44:45.780
 There is only one

00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:46.480
 Group

00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:47.800
 That he's

00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:49.460
 Has a special

00:44:49.460 --> 00:44:50.860
 Claim upon

00:44:50.860 --> 00:44:52.220
 And that's you and me

00:44:52.220 --> 00:44:53.019
 His people

00:44:53.019 --> 00:44:54.940
 Out of everything in the world

00:44:54.940 --> 00:44:56.039
 He doesn't say that about

00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:56.800
 Anything else

00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:57.920
 His people

00:44:57.920 --> 00:44:59.460
 Are his portion

00:44:59.460 --> 00:45:00.360
 Nothing else

00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:01.980
 The end of the day

00:45:01.980 --> 00:45:03.719
 Nothing else counts

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:05.179
 This is all

00:45:05.179 --> 00:45:06.079
 That counts

00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.219
 That's not a reason

00:45:08.219 --> 00:45:08.900
 For pride

00:45:08.900 --> 00:45:09.800
 It's not a reason

00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:10.539
 For taking any

00:45:10.539 --> 00:45:12.139
 Glory to ourselves

00:45:12.139 --> 00:45:13.059
 In fact

00:45:13.059 --> 00:45:14.119
 It's the very opposite

00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:15.400
 That should be

00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:16.679
 The most humbling thing

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:17.440
 And yet

00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:17.840
 Which should

00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:18.940
 Fire us up

00:45:18.940 --> 00:45:20.539
 With a great sense

00:45:20.539 --> 00:45:21.500
 Of thanksgiving

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:22.400
 And awe

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:23.000
 And wonder

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.460
 That the God

00:45:24.460 --> 00:45:25.340
 Of heaven and earth

00:45:25.340 --> 00:45:26.300
 Has set his love

00:45:26.300 --> 00:45:27.699
 Upon you and me

00:45:27.699 --> 00:45:29.039
 Out of all the people

00:45:29.039 --> 00:45:29.599
 Of the world

00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:30.599
 And you

00:45:30.599 --> 00:45:31.599
 Are his special

00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:32.280
 People

00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:33.119
 His special

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:34.019
 Portion

00:45:34.019 --> 00:45:36.079
 And he takes glory

00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.139
 To his own name

00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:38.260
 In you

00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:39.719
 It's a humbling

00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.280
 It's quite an extraordinary thing

00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:44.220
 And then

00:45:44.220 --> 00:45:45.340
 It says here

00:45:45.340 --> 00:45:46.460
 We are his people

00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:47.560
 And the sheep

00:45:47.560 --> 00:45:49.100
 Of his pasture

00:45:49.100 --> 00:45:50.519
 The sheep

00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:51.420
 Of his pasture

00:45:51.420 --> 00:45:52.019
 And that's what

00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:53.500
 We sang there

00:45:53.500 --> 00:45:54.400
 In Psalm 23

00:45:54.400 --> 00:45:55.580
 That

00:45:55.579 --> 00:45:58.059
 How we lie down

00:45:58.059 --> 00:45:59.219
 In green pastures

00:45:59.219 --> 00:46:01.440
 You and I know

00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:03.340
 That there are

00:46:03.340 --> 00:46:04.319
 Certain times

00:46:04.319 --> 00:46:04.799
 The sheep

00:46:04.799 --> 00:46:05.940
 Will not lie down

00:46:05.940 --> 00:46:07.340
 Sheep won't lie down

00:46:07.340 --> 00:46:08.139
 If they're scared

00:46:08.139 --> 00:46:08.900
 If they're afraid

00:46:08.900 --> 00:46:10.860
 Sheep won't lie down

00:46:10.860 --> 00:46:11.480
 If they're hungry

00:46:11.480 --> 00:46:13.000
 You can't get a hungry

00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:14.119
 Sheep to lie down

00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:15.639
 Do you know

00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:17.159
 If you want to see

00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:18.759
 This picture of contentment

00:46:18.759 --> 00:46:19.719
 That Psalm 23

00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:21.119
 Paints for us

00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:22.639
 And it's such a beautiful

00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:23.739
 Picture of the sheep

00:46:23.739 --> 00:46:25.139
 By the still water

00:46:25.139 --> 00:46:26.099
 And the green pasture

00:46:26.099 --> 00:46:27.059
 It's a picture

00:46:27.059 --> 00:46:28.919
 Of absolute contentment

00:46:28.919 --> 00:46:30.139
 That only

00:46:30.139 --> 00:46:31.279
 Well watered

00:46:31.279 --> 00:46:32.619
 Well fed sheep

00:46:32.619 --> 00:46:33.719
 Will give you

00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:35.699
 And that's

00:46:35.699 --> 00:46:37.779
 What it's talking about here

00:46:37.779 --> 00:46:39.459
 It's his pasture

00:46:39.459 --> 00:46:41.639
 He has provided

00:46:41.639 --> 00:46:42.399
 For us

00:46:42.399 --> 00:46:43.979
 This pasture land

00:46:43.979 --> 00:46:44.919
 And where is it?

00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:45.659
 Well it's here

00:46:45.659 --> 00:46:47.019
 His word

00:46:47.019 --> 00:46:47.959
 It's here

00:46:47.959 --> 00:46:48.979
 Where we come together

00:46:48.979 --> 00:46:51.199
 That's why God's house

00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:52.399
 Is a special place

00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:53.980
 Because God

00:46:53.980 --> 00:46:55.180
 Meets with us

00:46:55.180 --> 00:46:56.019
 And he gives us

00:46:56.019 --> 00:46:57.340
 Of his food

00:46:57.340 --> 00:46:59.059
 And

00:46:59.059 --> 00:47:00.380
 Remember this

00:47:00.380 --> 00:47:01.200
 The world

00:47:01.200 --> 00:47:02.940
 Has not one

00:47:02.940 --> 00:47:03.780
 Thing

00:47:03.780 --> 00:47:04.840
 For your soul

00:47:04.840 --> 00:47:05.400
 Nothing

00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:06.200
 Zero

00:47:06.200 --> 00:47:08.000
 You will never get

00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.180
 Anything in this world

00:47:09.180 --> 00:47:10.360
 That will

00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:11.119
 Nourish

00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:12.300
 Or fill

00:47:12.300 --> 00:47:13.139
 Your soul

00:47:13.139 --> 00:47:15.079
 There's things in this world

00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:16.160
 Which might be good

00:47:16.160 --> 00:47:16.740
 For the body

00:47:16.740 --> 00:47:17.480
 And such like

00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:18.740
 And good for the mind

00:47:18.740 --> 00:47:19.599
 But there's nothing

00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:20.280
 For the soul

00:47:20.280 --> 00:47:22.080
 It is through

00:47:22.080 --> 00:47:23.160
 The word

00:47:23.160 --> 00:47:24.220
 Through the feeding

00:47:24.220 --> 00:47:25.320
 Through the teaching

00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:26.280
 Through the work

00:47:26.280 --> 00:47:27.580
 Of God's spirit

00:47:27.580 --> 00:47:28.980
 Touching our hearts

00:47:28.980 --> 00:47:29.360
 And so

00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:30.340
 He's given us

00:47:30.340 --> 00:47:31.700
 This lavish feeding

00:47:31.700 --> 00:47:34.740
 And if we're struggling

00:47:34.740 --> 00:47:35.940
 If we're empty

00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:37.140
 If we're hungry

00:47:37.140 --> 00:47:38.880
 The fault is not

00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:39.540
 With a shepherd

00:47:39.540 --> 00:47:41.620
 It's not with a pasture

00:47:41.620 --> 00:47:43.040
 Because a beautiful

00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:43.840
 Pasture land

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:44.680
 It's rich

00:47:44.680 --> 00:47:45.480
 It's luscious

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.380
 There's everything

00:47:47.380 --> 00:47:48.059
 You could want

00:47:48.059 --> 00:47:48.440
 In it

00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:50.659
 So we're hungry

00:47:50.659 --> 00:47:52.500
 Then there's something

00:47:52.500 --> 00:47:53.260
 Wrong with us

00:47:53.260 --> 00:47:54.539
 Not with a shepherd

00:47:54.539 --> 00:47:56.900
 Not with the pasture land

00:47:56.900 --> 00:47:58.699
 It can only be with us

00:47:58.699 --> 00:48:00.659
 So we need to ask

00:48:00.659 --> 00:48:01.019
 The Lord

00:48:01.019 --> 00:48:01.820
 Lord help me

00:48:01.820 --> 00:48:03.659
 Help me to appreciate

00:48:03.659 --> 00:48:05.059
 The feeding

00:48:05.059 --> 00:48:05.579
 You've given

00:48:05.579 --> 00:48:06.860
 Help me to

00:48:06.860 --> 00:48:08.039
 Enjoy it

00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:08.679
 Help me to be

00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:09.460
 Nourished by it

00:48:09.460 --> 00:48:10.079
 Help me to be

00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:11.059
 Strengthened by it

00:48:11.059 --> 00:48:11.920
 Help me to be

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:12.960
 Built up by it

00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:14.679
 Thank him for this

00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:15.740
 And then finally

00:48:15.740 --> 00:48:16.559
 Just in a word

00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:18.320
 We see the invitation

00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:19.039
 That is given

00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:20.400
 Enter his gates

00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:21.380
 With thanksgiving

00:48:21.380 --> 00:48:22.099
 And his courts

00:48:22.099 --> 00:48:22.900
 With praise

00:48:22.900 --> 00:48:24.980
 You know

00:48:24.980 --> 00:48:26.720
 It's quite wonderful

00:48:26.720 --> 00:48:27.579
 When you see

00:48:27.579 --> 00:48:28.380
 Enter his gates

00:48:28.380 --> 00:48:29.280
 With thanksgiving

00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:29.980
 And his courts

00:48:29.980 --> 00:48:30.619
 With praise

00:48:30.619 --> 00:48:31.480
 It would bring you

00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:32.960
 Back into the Old Testament

00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:33.980
 And to the temple

00:48:33.980 --> 00:48:35.380
 And to the courts

00:48:35.380 --> 00:48:36.039
 That are there

00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:37.619
 And to God's house

00:48:37.619 --> 00:48:39.099
 And you know

00:48:39.099 --> 00:48:39.860
 One of the wonderful

00:48:39.860 --> 00:48:40.679
 Things is

00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:41.639
 That when we

00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:42.360
 Think back

00:48:42.360 --> 00:48:43.019
 There was one

00:48:43.019 --> 00:48:44.019
 Special place

00:48:44.019 --> 00:48:45.300
 Within the temple

00:48:45.300 --> 00:48:45.760
 Which was

00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:47.539
 The most holy place

00:48:47.539 --> 00:48:48.680
 Or the holy of holies

00:48:48.680 --> 00:48:50.200
 It was the one place

00:48:50.200 --> 00:48:51.260
 Nobody could get to

00:48:51.260 --> 00:48:52.340
 Apart from the high priest

00:48:52.340 --> 00:48:53.120
 Once a year

00:48:53.120 --> 00:48:55.260
 But remember

00:48:55.260 --> 00:48:55.900
 When Jesus

00:48:55.900 --> 00:48:56.880
 Cried out

00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:57.620
 It is finished

00:48:57.620 --> 00:49:00.519
 The veil of the temple

00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:01.620
 Was torn in two

00:49:01.620 --> 00:49:03.420
 And now there is

00:49:03.420 --> 00:49:04.740
 Immediate access

00:49:04.740 --> 00:49:06.340
 Into his presence

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:07.900
 And that's where

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:08.620
 We're invited

00:49:08.620 --> 00:49:09.880
 We're invited

00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:10.940
 Ushered in

00:49:10.940 --> 00:49:11.539
 Through

00:49:11.539 --> 00:49:13.360
 Through the door

00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:14.400
 Through into

00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:15.480
 The presence

00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:16.300
 Of the king

00:49:16.300 --> 00:49:17.760
 And that's a wonder

00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:19.039
 Wonder and glory

00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:19.420
 Of it

00:49:19.420 --> 00:49:20.460
 Give thanks to him

00:49:20.460 --> 00:49:21.539
 Bless his name

00:49:21.539 --> 00:49:23.140
 For the lord is good

00:49:23.140 --> 00:49:25.940
 His steadfast love

00:49:25.940 --> 00:49:27.260
 Endures forever

00:49:27.260 --> 00:49:28.980
 Isn't that wonderful

00:49:28.980 --> 00:49:31.860
 See that word

00:49:31.860 --> 00:49:32.660
 Steadfast

00:49:32.659 --> 00:49:34.199
 It means that it

00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:35.039
 Cannot be moved

00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:36.539
 It is absolutely

00:49:36.539 --> 00:49:37.379
 It's a rock

00:49:37.379 --> 00:49:38.399
 Of fixedness

00:49:38.399 --> 00:49:40.079
 And that's who

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:40.719
 God's love

00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:41.440
 Is to you

00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:43.199
 And also notice

00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:44.119
 It also finishes

00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:44.859
 By saying

00:49:44.859 --> 00:49:46.359
 His faithfulness

00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:47.039
 To all

00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:48.160
 Generations

00:49:48.160 --> 00:49:49.820
 It's not great

00:49:49.820 --> 00:49:51.599
 All generations

00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:53.640
 And you look back

00:49:53.640 --> 00:49:54.260
 And you look at

00:49:54.260 --> 00:49:55.000
 The faithfulness

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:55.440
 Of God

00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:55.980
 To Noah

00:49:55.980 --> 00:49:57.220
 And to Abraham

00:49:57.220 --> 00:49:57.960
 And to Isaac

00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:58.740
 And to Jacob

00:49:58.740 --> 00:49:59.500
 And to Joseph

00:49:59.500 --> 00:50:00.380
 And to Moses

00:50:00.380 --> 00:50:01.980
 And to David

00:50:01.980 --> 00:50:02.820
 And to Daniel

00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:03.800
 To John

00:50:03.800 --> 00:50:04.559
 And to Paul

00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:05.880
 And so on

00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:06.800
 Right down to you

00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:07.920
 Throughout the generations

00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:10.700
 And he will continue

00:50:10.700 --> 00:50:11.980
 His faithfulness

00:50:11.980 --> 00:50:12.820
 Will continue

00:50:12.820 --> 00:50:14.860
 Throughout all generations

00:50:14.860 --> 00:50:16.620
 So tonight

00:50:16.620 --> 00:50:18.380
 May we seek

00:50:18.380 --> 00:50:19.539
 To praise the lord

00:50:19.539 --> 00:50:20.720
 And give him thanks

00:50:20.720 --> 00:50:22.000
 Because sometimes

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:22.340
 You know

00:50:22.340 --> 00:50:23.579
 We get used to it

00:50:23.579 --> 00:50:23.980
 Don't we

00:50:23.980 --> 00:50:25.400
 There are times

00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:26.980
 We get used

00:50:26.980 --> 00:50:27.860
 To what we have

00:50:27.860 --> 00:50:29.660
 We've lost

00:50:29.660 --> 00:50:30.880
 The sense of wonder

00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:32.480
 That we should have

00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:34.320
 Remember how it first was

00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:34.760
 When you

00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:36.019
 First came

00:50:36.019 --> 00:50:37.660
 To see the lord

00:50:37.660 --> 00:50:38.820
 To appreciate

00:50:38.820 --> 00:50:39.800
 What he had done

00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:41.460
 When you first

00:50:41.460 --> 00:50:43.360
 Took a wee taste

00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:44.559
 In the pasture land

00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:46.059
 When you first

00:50:46.059 --> 00:50:47.199
 Laid hold upon

00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:47.940
 The fact that

00:50:47.940 --> 00:50:49.299
 You were his

00:50:49.299 --> 00:50:50.920
 That he had made you

00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.099
 The wonder of it

00:50:53.099 --> 00:50:54.380
 The newness of it

00:50:54.380 --> 00:50:55.619
 But sometimes

00:50:55.619 --> 00:50:56.739
 The years cause

00:50:56.739 --> 00:50:58.099
 That to fade

00:50:58.099 --> 00:50:58.880
 They shouldn't

00:50:58.880 --> 00:50:59.420
 It shouldn't

00:50:59.420 --> 00:51:00.440
 It should be the reverse

00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.219
 We should in fact

00:51:02.219 --> 00:51:03.199
 Be praising him

00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:04.400
 More and more

00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:04.980
 And more

00:51:04.980 --> 00:51:06.659
 For what he has done

00:51:06.659 --> 00:51:07.500
 For us

00:51:07.500 --> 00:51:08.519
 Let us pray

00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:10.079
 Lord our God

00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:11.340
 We give thanks

00:51:11.340 --> 00:51:12.480
 For our time together

00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:13.280
 Where we were able

00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:15.539
 To think about

00:51:15.539 --> 00:51:16.440
 Why we should be

00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:17.780
 Praising and thanking you

00:51:17.780 --> 00:51:19.900
 And there is no end

00:51:19.900 --> 00:51:21.260
 For our reason

00:51:21.260 --> 00:51:22.480
 To praise and thank

00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:24.420
 It's what we will be doing

00:51:24.420 --> 00:51:25.880
 Throughout an endless eternity

00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:26.460
 It is

00:51:26.460 --> 00:51:28.139
 Indeed what we see

00:51:28.139 --> 00:51:28.440
 That

00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:29.860
 The

00:51:29.860 --> 00:51:29.900
 The

00:51:29.900 --> 00:51:31.159
 The saints

00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:31.900
 In glory

00:51:31.900 --> 00:51:33.880
 Are praising the lamb

00:51:33.880 --> 00:51:35.079
 Worthy as a lamb

00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:36.800
 To receive honour

00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:37.460
 And glory

00:51:37.460 --> 00:51:38.219
 And praise

00:51:38.219 --> 00:51:40.199
 And as we journey

00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:41.099
 Through this world

00:51:41.099 --> 00:51:41.659
 We pray

00:51:41.659 --> 00:51:42.819
 And the closer we get

00:51:42.819 --> 00:51:44.139
 To the land

00:51:44.139 --> 00:51:45.339
 Of eternal praise

00:51:45.339 --> 00:51:45.899
 We pray

00:51:45.899 --> 00:51:46.619
 That praise

00:51:46.619 --> 00:51:47.279
 Might become

00:51:47.279 --> 00:51:48.599
 More and more

00:51:48.599 --> 00:51:49.119
 Part

00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:50.839
 Of what we are about

00:51:50.839 --> 00:51:52.239
 Bless us

00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:52.980
 And we pray

00:51:52.980 --> 00:51:54.299
 Bless us Lord

00:51:54.299 --> 00:51:55.159
 Those who mourn

00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:56.139
 Those who are sad

00:51:56.139 --> 00:51:57.879
 And despite the fact

00:51:57.879 --> 00:51:58.919
 That we do think

00:51:58.919 --> 00:51:59.619
 Tonight

00:51:59.619 --> 00:52:00.439
 Of praise

00:52:00.439 --> 00:52:01.339
 And thanksgiving

00:52:01.340 --> 00:52:03.200
 We do know Lord

00:52:03.200 --> 00:52:04.500
 That while you require

00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:06.140
 This of us

00:52:06.140 --> 00:52:07.600
 You are the God

00:52:07.600 --> 00:52:08.920
 Who understands

00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:09.900
 Our weaknesses

00:52:09.900 --> 00:52:11.680
 You are the God

00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:12.420
 Who is able to

00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:13.980
 Bind up the broken hearted

00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:15.059
 And so we give thanks

00:52:15.059 --> 00:52:15.380
 Lord

00:52:15.380 --> 00:52:16.820
 Even for that

00:52:16.820 --> 00:52:17.940
 Do us good then

00:52:17.940 --> 00:52:18.960
 And take us to our home

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:19.539
 Safely

00:52:19.539 --> 00:52:20.900
 And cleanse us

00:52:20.900 --> 00:52:21.900
 From our every sin

00:52:21.900 --> 00:52:22.720
 In Jesus name

00:52:22.720 --> 00:52:23.420
 We ask it

00:52:23.420 --> 00:52:24.000
 Amen

00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.480
 We are going to conclude

00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:28.760
 Singing in Psalm

00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:30.320
 72

00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.780
 Psalm 72

00:52:32.780 --> 00:52:33.800
 There are so many

00:52:33.800 --> 00:52:35.920
 Psalms that we could have

00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.280
 Sung in conclusion

00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:39.660
 Could have sung this Psalm

00:52:39.660 --> 00:52:40.059
 Itself

00:52:40.059 --> 00:52:40.680
 Psalm 100

00:52:40.680 --> 00:52:42.300
 But of course

00:52:42.300 --> 00:52:43.680
 This is one that

00:52:43.680 --> 00:52:46.460
 We are all so familiar with

00:52:46.460 --> 00:52:47.780
 It is a Psalm

00:52:47.780 --> 00:52:48.580
 That is absolutely

00:52:48.580 --> 00:52:49.260
 Bursting

00:52:49.260 --> 00:52:50.980
 Full of praise

00:52:50.980 --> 00:52:52.340
 His name forever

00:52:52.340 --> 00:52:53.460
 From verse 17

00:52:53.460 --> 00:52:54.420
 The last three verses

00:52:54.420 --> 00:52:55.559
 Of Psalm 72

00:52:55.559 --> 00:52:57.000
 Page 314

00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:58.300
 In the Scottish Psalter

00:52:58.300 --> 00:52:59.940
 His name forever

00:52:59.940 --> 00:53:00.780
 Shall endure

00:53:00.780 --> 00:53:02.179
 Last like the sun

00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:02.700
 It shall

00:53:02.700 --> 00:53:04.440
 Men shall be blessed

00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:04.900
 In him

00:53:04.900 --> 00:53:05.480
 And blessed

00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:06.679
 All nations

00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:07.559
 Shall him call

00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:08.900
 Now blessed be

00:53:08.900 --> 00:53:09.780
 The Lord our God

00:53:09.780 --> 00:53:10.820
 The God of Israel

00:53:10.820 --> 00:53:12.159
 For he alone

00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:13.440
 Doth wondrous works

00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:14.179
 In glory

00:53:14.179 --> 00:53:14.960
 That excel

00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:16.420
 And blessed be

00:53:16.420 --> 00:53:17.500
 His glorious name

00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:18.539
 To all eternity

00:53:18.539 --> 00:53:20.099
 The whole earth

00:53:20.099 --> 00:53:21.420
 Let his glory fill

00:53:21.420 --> 00:53:22.360
 Amen

00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:23.760
 So let it be

00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:24.880
 17 to the end

00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:25.760
 Psalm 72

00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:27.140
 His name forever

00:53:27.140 --> 00:53:27.760
 Amen

00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:33.920
 His name forever

00:53:33.920 --> 00:53:39.520
 Shall endure

00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:42.759
 Past like the sun

00:53:42.759 --> 00:53:44.840
 Past like the sun

00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:47.179
 It shall

00:53:47.179 --> 00:53:52.519
 Men shall be blessed

00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:55.019
 In heaven

00:53:55.019 --> 00:53:57.039
 And then

00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:59.980
 All nations

00:53:59.980 --> 00:54:04.360
 Shall him call

00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:09.900
 Now blessed be

00:54:09.900 --> 00:54:15.240
 The Lord our God

00:54:15.240 --> 00:54:21.519
 The God of Israel

00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:26.900
 For he alone

00:54:26.900 --> 00:54:32.739
 The wondrous works

00:54:32.739 --> 00:54:35.759
 In glory

00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:36.760
 The Lord our God

00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:37.760
 And blessed be

00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:39.760
 His glorious name

00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:42.760
 And blessed be

00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.760
 And blessed be

00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.760
 His glorious name

00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:56.760
 To all eternity

00:54:56.760 --> 00:54:58.760
 The Lord our God

00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:00.760
 The Lord our God

00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:01.760
 And blessed be

00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:02.760
 The Lord our God

00:55:02.760 --> 00:55:03.760
 And blessed be

00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:04.760
 The Lord our God

00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:05.760
 And blessed be

00:55:05.760 --> 00:55:06.760
 The Lord our God

00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:07.760
 And blessed be

00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:09.760
 Amen

00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:14.760
 So let it be

00:55:14.760 --> 00:55:19.480
 Now may the grace, mercy, and peace

00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:21.880
 Of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

00:55:21.880 --> 00:55:24.120
 Rest and abide upon each one of you

00:55:24.120 --> 00:55:24.760
 Now and forevermore

00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:25.760
 Amen

00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:26.200
 Amen

00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:56.200
 Amen
