00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.740
 Alright, if you have your Bible with you, you can open it up to Psalm 84.

00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:06.820
 We're going back to the Old Testament this morning.

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.339
 And we'll also have it on the screen.

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:12.939
 Psalm 84.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:21.839
 And I'm going to begin just by reading it through from start to finish,

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.420
 and then we'll have some thoughts about it.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.980
 Psalm 84.

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:44.899
 For the director of music, according to Gittith, of the sons of Korah, a psalm.

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.439
 How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty!

00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:56.679
 My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord.

00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.600
 My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:08.299
 Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself,

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.900
 where she may have her young, a place near your altar.

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:17.379
 Lord Almighty, my King and my God.

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.659
 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.

00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:24.159
 They are ever praising you.

00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.739
 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,

00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.780
 whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.799
 As they pass through the valley of Bacca,

00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:37.899
 they make it a place of springs.

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.280
 The autumn rains also cover it with pools.

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:44.659
 They go from strength to strength,

00:01:45.179 --> 00:01:48.500
 till each appears before God in Zion.

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:54.040
 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty.

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.120
 Listen to me, God of Jacob.

00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.120
 Look on our shield, O God.

00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.099
 Look with favor on your anointed one.

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.840
 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.819
 I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

00:02:11.819 --> 00:02:15.240
 than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:20.819
 For the Lord God is a sun and shield.

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:24.240
 The Lord bestows favor and honor.

00:02:25.420 --> 00:02:27.259
 No good thing does he withhold

00:02:27.259 --> 00:02:29.939
 from those whose walk is blameless.

00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:32.400
 Lord Almighty,

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:36.099
 blessed is the one who trusts in you.

00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.620
 Do you long to be with God?

00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:55.980
 Do you long to be with God?

00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:05.920
 This ancient Hebrew song was written

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:08.580
 well over 2,000 years ago.

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:11.099
 Exactly who wrote it

00:03:11.099 --> 00:03:13.159
 and what it sounded like

00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.319
 and when it was sung.

00:03:14.460 --> 00:03:16.259
 It's lost to us today.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.340
 But the cry of this song,

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:19.039
 the desire,

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:20.360
 the feeling of this song

00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.599
 captures so well

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.840
 what many of us still feel today.

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:26.800
 The sons of Korah,

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.240
 to which this song is attributed,

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:33.700
 they were singers and musicians

00:03:33.700 --> 00:03:35.780
 who contributed to the worship

00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:37.620
 in the temple of Yahweh,

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.819
 the temple of the Lord.

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.520
 And even though the circumstances

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.439
 of this song are lost to us today,

00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:45.580
 the words of the song

00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:48.180
 paint a picture for us

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:49.360
 of someone who has found

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.000
 the greatest of joys

00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.840
 in the presence of God.

00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.760
 Things were very different

00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:00.439
 back then in Israel.

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:03.400
 Today, those of us

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:04.380
 who belong to Christ

00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:06.840
 can easily take this for granted.

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:10.000
 How did God live

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.060
 with his people

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:13.840
 in those days?

00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.360
 Well, if we go back and read

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.040
 through the Old Testament,

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.100
 we see that it was

00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:21.680
 at the temple in Jerusalem

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.379
 that God chose

00:04:23.379 --> 00:04:24.459
 to put his presence

00:04:24.459 --> 00:04:25.620
 among his people

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:26.540
 in a special way.

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:28.720
 It was there at the temple

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.399
 in Jerusalem

00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.160
 that God lived

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:31.939
 among them.

00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:35.019
 It was there that the sacrifices

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:36.719
 were offered to the Lord

00:04:36.719 --> 00:04:38.240
 on the bronze altar.

00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:40.099
 It was there that

00:04:40.099 --> 00:04:42.319
 God's Ark of the Covenant

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:43.479
 came to rest

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:44.459
 behind the curtain

00:04:44.459 --> 00:04:46.299
 in the most holy place.

00:04:47.539 --> 00:04:48.000
 And of course,

00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:49.199
 God is everywhere

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:50.099
 at all times,

00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:51.399
 in all places,

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:52.779
 but this was the place

00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:54.139
 where he made his presence

00:04:54.139 --> 00:04:55.560
 specially felt

00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.199
 and his power known

00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.079
 and his glory to be seen.

00:05:00.979 --> 00:05:02.279
 Three times a year,

00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.339
 God required the Israelites

00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:06.779
 to celebrate

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:08.459
 all who were able to

00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:09.659
 to celebrate

00:05:09.659 --> 00:05:10.819
 special festivals

00:05:10.819 --> 00:05:11.839
 or feasts.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.139
 There was the festival

00:05:14.139 --> 00:05:15.119
 of unleavened bread

00:05:15.119 --> 00:05:16.579
 which coincided

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:17.319
 with the Passover.

00:05:18.119 --> 00:05:19.379
 There was the festival

00:05:19.379 --> 00:05:20.339
 of harvest

00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:22.819
 later known as Pentecost.

00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:24.759
 And there was the festival

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.839
 of ingathering

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.159
 which was also known

00:05:27.159 --> 00:05:28.739
 as the feast of tabernacles

00:05:28.739 --> 00:05:29.699
 or booths.

00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:30.919
 Now, we're not going to get

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.960
 into all the details

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:33.580
 of these festivals

00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:34.240
 this morning.

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.780
 The point of them

00:05:35.780 --> 00:05:37.460
 was to meet with God,

00:05:38.140 --> 00:05:39.460
 to worship God,

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.000
 to bring sacrifices

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.980
 and offerings to God.

00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:44.520
 These were occasions

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:45.740
 for great celebration.

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:48.580
 The people would remember

00:05:48.580 --> 00:05:50.160
 God's great salvation

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.040
 from slavery in Egypt

00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.819
 at Passover.

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.180
 And they were to thank God

00:05:56.180 --> 00:05:58.120
 and to bring offerings

00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:58.639
 to Him

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.800
 as a token of their praise

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:01.579
 and thanksgiving

00:06:01.579 --> 00:06:03.660
 for His gracious provision

00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:05.340
 at harvest

00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:08.600
 in the fall festivals.

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.480
 And everyone who was able

00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:12.460
 from all over Israel

00:06:12.460 --> 00:06:13.520
 was to come together.

00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:15.060
 And it wasn't just about

00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:16.139
 reconnecting with

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:17.319
 old friends

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:18.480
 and acquaintances

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:19.759
 from faraway places,

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:20.879
 though that did happen.

00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:22.580
 It was to come

00:06:22.580 --> 00:06:24.500
 and meet with God

00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:25.680
 was the purpose.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.360
 to worship the Lord Himself

00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.459
 in His temple.

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.500
 And so three times a year

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:34.040
 in Israel,

00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:36.740
 all roads led to Jerusalem

00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:39.400
 and the roads were busy.

00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:42.100
 They were filled with travelers

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:43.680
 making their way

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:45.220
 to the one and only

00:06:45.220 --> 00:06:46.280
 temple

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:47.819
 of the God

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:48.579
 who created

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:49.680
 the heavens

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:50.819
 and the earth.

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:52.439
 the God

00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:53.240
 who set His love

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:53.719
 on Jacob

00:06:53.719 --> 00:06:54.599
 and His descendants.

00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:57.420
 These are some of the facts

00:06:57.420 --> 00:06:58.420
 that undergird

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:00.139
 this song

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:01.540
 that we're looking at

00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:02.060
 this morning.

00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:03.639
 These facts make it

00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:04.319
 understandable

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:05.259
 to us today.

00:07:05.779 --> 00:07:07.420
 But it's the song itself

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:08.199
 that gives us

00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:08.819
 the feeling

00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:10.039
 of what it was like

00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:11.240
 for people

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.500
 in the midst of this

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:13.860
 in those days.

00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:15.959
 The first four verses

00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:16.740
 of this song

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.420
 express the longing

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:19.560
 of the songwriter

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:21.360
 to be in those

00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:22.199
 temple courts

00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:23.140
 again.

00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:25.879
 How lovely

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.840
 is your dwelling place

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:29.280
 Lord Almighty.

00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:32.000
 My soul yearns

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.180
 even faints

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:34.060
 for the courts

00:07:34.060 --> 00:07:34.860
 of the Lord.

00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:36.840
 My heart

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:37.439
 and my flesh

00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:38.259
 cry out

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:39.300
 for the living God.

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:41.960
 The language here

00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:42.500
 is the language

00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:43.139
 of the heart.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:45.780
 The songwriter

00:07:45.780 --> 00:07:46.819
 longs to be

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:47.980
 in that place

00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:48.680
 where the Lord

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:49.920
 dwells.

00:07:50.340 --> 00:07:51.060
 In the courts

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:51.680
 of the temple

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:52.500
 which surround

00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:53.220
 that place

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:53.819
 where God

00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:54.420
 has chosen

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:54.980
 to live

00:07:54.980 --> 00:07:56.200
 among His people.

00:07:57.100 --> 00:07:57.860
 And the desire

00:07:57.860 --> 00:07:58.620
 is strong.

00:07:59.140 --> 00:07:59.379
 It says

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:00.340
 my soul

00:08:00.340 --> 00:08:01.660
 yearns

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:02.900
 even

00:08:02.900 --> 00:08:03.740
 faints

00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:04.759
 with longing.

00:08:05.340 --> 00:08:06.280
 My desire

00:08:06.280 --> 00:08:07.480
 is to get there

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.879
 and I want it

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:10.540
 so much

00:08:10.540 --> 00:08:11.460
 it's like

00:08:11.460 --> 00:08:12.460
 it wears me out.

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.640
 I faint for it.

00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:16.080
 And it's not

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:16.600
 just to be

00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:17.360
 at the big party

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:18.260
 with all the people.

00:08:19.140 --> 00:08:19.939
 It's not just

00:08:19.939 --> 00:08:20.660
 because the temple

00:08:20.660 --> 00:08:21.540
 is quite the sight

00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:21.920
 to see

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:22.439
 with its

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.220
 wonderful architecture

00:08:24.220 --> 00:08:25.620
 and golden overlay.

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:26.379
 No,

00:08:26.460 --> 00:08:26.860
 the reason

00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:27.320
 He wants

00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:27.980
 to be there

00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:29.720
 is because

00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:30.240
 God

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.140
 is there.

00:08:32.420 --> 00:08:33.080
 He says

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:33.840
 my soul

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.700
 yearns

00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:35.480
 even faints

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.120
 for the courts

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:36.620
 of the Lord.

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:37.279
 My heart

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.899
 and my flesh

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:38.820
 cry out

00:08:38.820 --> 00:08:40.240
 for the living God.

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:42.919
 it's

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:43.680
 you God

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:44.960
 my heart

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:45.399
 desires.

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.759
 I want to be

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:47.840
 in your presence.

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:52.360
 At this point

00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:53.360
 the son of Korah

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.299
 who wrote this

00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:54.879
 seems to

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.940
 reflect on

00:08:55.940 --> 00:08:57.039
 previous times

00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:58.940
 when he was

00:08:58.940 --> 00:08:59.259
 there

00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:00.120
 at the temple.

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.080
 He remembers

00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:02.560
 seeing

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:03.320
 the birds

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.120
 flying about

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.259
 and he

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:05.720
 notices

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.279
 or remembers

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:07.840
 noticing

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.539
 that the birds

00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:09.000
 had built

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.179
 nests in and around

00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:11.120
 the temple area.

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.440
 Even the sparrow

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.360
 has found a home

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:15.299
 and the swallow

00:09:15.299 --> 00:09:16.460
 a nest for herself

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:17.039
 where she may

00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:17.860
 have her young.

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:19.460
 A place

00:09:19.460 --> 00:09:20.299
 near

00:09:20.299 --> 00:09:21.480
 your altar

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.059
 Lord Almighty

00:09:23.059 --> 00:09:24.360
 my King

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.039
 and my God.

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:27.779
 Now it's difficult

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:28.879
 all these years later

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.460
 with the

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:30.580
 time gap

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:31.220
 and the translation

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.080
 gap to know

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.899
 just what he means

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.580
 by all this

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:34.399
 about the birds

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.539
 nesting near the altar.

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:37.919
 Different things

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:38.740
 have been suggested

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:39.960
 is it that

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.620
 the birds

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.519
 though

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.799
 lowly creatures

00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:43.960
 that even they

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.320
 know intuitively

00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:46.480
 how good it is

00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:47.840
 to be near God?

00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:50.519
 Or is it that

00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:51.379
 they recognize

00:09:51.379 --> 00:09:52.019
 the peace

00:09:52.019 --> 00:09:53.360
 and the safety

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.379
 of this place

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.899
 the temple

00:09:55.899 --> 00:09:56.919
 where God lives?

00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.460
 Is it that

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.120
 the songwriter

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:00.820
 wishes that

00:10:00.820 --> 00:10:01.500
 he himself

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:02.259
 had wings

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:03.279
 with which

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:03.779
 to fly

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:04.560
 to this place

00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:05.399
 and the opportunity

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:06.159
 that the birds

00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:07.100
 have to make

00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:07.820
 his own home

00:10:07.820 --> 00:10:08.540
 right there

00:10:08.540 --> 00:10:09.600
 near the presence

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:10.200
 of God?

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:14.080
 Whatever the case

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.060
 he makes clear

00:10:16.060 --> 00:10:17.240
 his heart's feeling

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.420
 in verse 4

00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:18.820
 he says

00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:20.100
 blessed are those

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:20.720
 who dwell

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.240
 in your house

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.139
 they are ever

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:24.980
 praising you

00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:27.100
 like that would be

00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:28.139
 the ultimate place

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:28.540
 to live

00:10:28.540 --> 00:10:29.060
 he says

00:10:29.060 --> 00:10:30.940
 right there

00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:31.680
 in the house

00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:32.120
 of the Lord

00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:32.779
 in the temple

00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:33.919
 to be able

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.539
 to worship

00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:35.839
 you continually

00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:36.839
 God

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:39.459
 day after day

00:10:39.459 --> 00:10:41.179
 and not just

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:41.879
 for one week

00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:42.860
 and then go

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:43.259
 all the way

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:43.879
 back home

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.379
 oh happy

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:46.539
 blessed

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:47.579
 is the one

00:10:47.579 --> 00:10:48.179
 who gets to

00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:48.659
 live in your

00:10:48.659 --> 00:10:49.899
 presence always

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:51.980
 says the psalmist

00:10:51.980 --> 00:10:54.039
 if only

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:57.100
 so what does

00:10:57.100 --> 00:10:57.559
 the psalmist

00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:57.860
 do?

00:10:57.860 --> 00:11:01.100
 he does

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:01.539
 what almost

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.159
 everyone else

00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:02.659
 in Israel

00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:03.860
 had to do

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:05.720
 he packs

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:06.279
 his bags

00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.440
 he makes

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:09.360
 his provisions

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.759
 ready

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.220
 and he goes

00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:11.860
 on the journey

00:11:11.860 --> 00:11:12.580
 from wherever

00:11:12.580 --> 00:11:13.240
 he lives

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:13.899
 when the

00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:14.840
 appointed times

00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:15.580
 draw near

00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:16.580
 the next

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:17.240
 three verses

00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.019
 verse 5

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.519
 to 7

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:19.519
 poetically

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.340
 describe the

00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:20.740
 journey

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:21.759
 the pilgrimage

00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:22.600
 that most

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.340
 must make

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:24.320
 three times

00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.680
 a year

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.859
 blessed

00:11:26.859 --> 00:11:27.299
 are those

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:27.899
 whose strength

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:28.479
 is in you

00:11:28.479 --> 00:11:29.799
 whose hearts

00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:30.459
 are set

00:11:30.459 --> 00:11:31.199
 on pilgrimage

00:11:31.199 --> 00:11:33.120
 as they

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.539
 pass through

00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:33.939
 the valley

00:11:33.939 --> 00:11:34.459
 of Bacca

00:11:34.459 --> 00:11:35.000
 they make

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:35.519
 it a place

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:36.279
 of springs

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.519
 the autumn

00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:38.919
 rains

00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:39.879
 also cover

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.219
 it with

00:11:40.219 --> 00:11:40.659
 pools

00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:42.639
 they go

00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.359
 from strength

00:11:43.359 --> 00:11:44.120
 to strength

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.259
 till each

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:45.779
 appears

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:47.039
 before God

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.339
 in Zion

00:11:48.339 --> 00:11:50.199
 so there's

00:11:50.199 --> 00:11:50.659
 a blessing

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:51.219
 from God

00:11:51.219 --> 00:11:51.639
 for those

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:52.099
 who choose

00:11:52.099 --> 00:11:52.559
 to make

00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:52.959
 the Lord

00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:53.599
 their strength

00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.360
 and set

00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:54.860
 out on

00:11:54.860 --> 00:11:55.460
 this journey

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.680
 to meet

00:11:56.680 --> 00:11:57.220
 with God

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:58.519
 and worship

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.019
 him in his

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.659
 holy temple

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:01.879
 and this

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:02.320
 journey is

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.879
 not easy

00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.600
 it requires

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.180
 strength

00:12:05.180 --> 00:12:05.740
 to get

00:12:05.740 --> 00:12:06.060
 there

00:12:06.060 --> 00:12:09.000
 the valley

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:09.600
 of Bacca

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.680
 is thought

00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:11.460
 by most

00:12:11.460 --> 00:12:11.960
 to refer

00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:12.920
 to a dry

00:12:12.920 --> 00:12:13.720
 and dusty

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.159
 valley

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.040
 where not

00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:15.779
 much grows

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.440
 but the

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:17.960
 picture here

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.580
 is beautiful

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:19.960
 as the

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:20.320
 people

00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:21.580
 travel together

00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:22.019
 and are

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:22.759
 joined by

00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:23.139
 others

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:23.600
 from the

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:23.939
 towns

00:12:23.939 --> 00:12:24.240
 and the

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.720
 communities

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.460
 all around

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:26.960
 they bring

00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:27.439
 life

00:12:27.439 --> 00:12:28.059
 even to

00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:28.720
 the dusty

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.240
 valley

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:30.240
 of Bacca

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.360
 you can

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.580
 almost

00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:32.059
 picture it

00:12:32.059 --> 00:12:32.279
 in your

00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:32.679
 mind

00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.299
 a parched

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.480
 cracked

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:36.519
 ground

00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.139
 where only

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:37.600
 a few

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:38.080
 hardy

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:38.879
 shrubs

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.080
 managed to

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.460
 eke out

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:41.039
 their existence

00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:41.460
 and where

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:41.899
 no one

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.319
 lives

00:12:42.319 --> 00:12:43.740
 but then

00:12:43.740 --> 00:12:44.120
 suddenly

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:44.500
 out of

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:44.779
 nowhere

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:45.720
 this joyful

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.500
 procession

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:47.059
 of people

00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:48.939
 burst forth

00:12:48.939 --> 00:12:50.039
 bringing life

00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:50.700
 to the whole

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.100
 area

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:51.519
 just like

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.899
 springs

00:12:51.899 --> 00:12:52.340
 of water

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:52.659
 would

00:12:52.659 --> 00:12:53.180
 or autumn

00:12:53.180 --> 00:12:53.580
 rains

00:12:53.580 --> 00:12:53.960
 would

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.379
 transforming

00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:56.040
 this place

00:12:56.040 --> 00:12:56.480
 into an

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:56.860
 oasis

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:57.300
 as they

00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:57.899
 go by

00:12:57.899 --> 00:12:59.500
 you can

00:12:59.500 --> 00:12:59.899
 hear the

00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:00.920
 sound of

00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:01.360
 singing

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.320
 and the

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:02.899
 excitement

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:03.360
 and the

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:03.840
 bustle

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.139
 people all

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:06.639
 eager to

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.759
 go up

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.480
 to Jerusalem

00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.180
 to the

00:13:09.180 --> 00:13:09.540
 temple

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:10.720
 to meet

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.279
 with God

00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.079
 he says

00:13:16.079 --> 00:13:16.459
 they go

00:13:16.459 --> 00:13:17.319
 from strength

00:13:17.319 --> 00:13:18.319
 to strength

00:13:18.319 --> 00:13:19.259
 till each

00:13:19.259 --> 00:13:19.740
 appears

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:20.679
 before God

00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:21.799
 in Zion

00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:23.259
 so there's

00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:24.379
 something special

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.079
 about this

00:13:25.079 --> 00:13:28.360
 for those

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:28.659
 of you

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:29.279
 who have

00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:29.559
 good

00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:30.299
 strong

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:30.959
 loving

00:13:30.959 --> 00:13:31.559
 relationships

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:32.740
 with family

00:13:32.740 --> 00:13:34.319
 that's living

00:13:34.319 --> 00:13:35.039
 far away

00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.899
 isn't it

00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:37.319
 wonderful

00:13:37.319 --> 00:13:38.659
 to be

00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:39.179
 reunited

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:39.759
 with them

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:41.519
 on special

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.059
 occasions

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:42.580
 perhaps

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:43.539
 even at

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.240
 Christmas time

00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.899
 well we

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:47.480
 imagine that

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.200
 this procession

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:48.659
 on the roads

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:49.200
 is something

00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:50.100
 like that

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:51.399
 times

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.259
 10,000

00:13:52.259 --> 00:13:53.860
 people all

00:13:53.860 --> 00:13:54.200
 over

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.080
 coming together

00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:55.779
 streaming

00:13:55.779 --> 00:13:56.259
 into the

00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:57.319
 main roads

00:13:57.319 --> 00:13:57.779
 and all

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.340
 for one

00:13:58.340 --> 00:13:58.879
 purpose

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.000
 to go up

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:00.700
 to Jerusalem

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:02.059
 and worship

00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:02.519
 God

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.059
 did they sing

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:05.799
 along the road

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.019
 well it doesn't

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.639
 say for sure

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:08.559
 but most likely

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.139
 they did

00:14:09.139 --> 00:14:10.079
 and probably

00:14:10.079 --> 00:14:10.779
 this was

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:11.259
 one of the

00:14:11.259 --> 00:14:11.859
 songs that

00:14:11.859 --> 00:14:12.479
 they used

00:14:12.479 --> 00:14:14.679
 and as they

00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.239
 get closer

00:14:15.239 --> 00:14:15.699
 and closer

00:14:15.699 --> 00:14:16.419
 to the place

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:16.779
 where they

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.379
 can finally

00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:18.219
 be in the

00:14:18.219 --> 00:14:18.799
 presence of

00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.399
 God again

00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:20.239
 in his

00:14:20.239 --> 00:14:20.639
 temple

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.719
 they go from

00:14:21.719 --> 00:14:22.519
 strength

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:23.979
 to strength

00:14:23.979 --> 00:14:26.500
 suddenly the

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:26.919
 weariness

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:28.239
 and the

00:14:28.239 --> 00:14:28.899
 heaviness of

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.739
 life that was

00:14:29.739 --> 00:14:30.279
 there before

00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:30.899
 all this

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:32.000
 lifts away

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.579
 or melts

00:14:32.579 --> 00:14:32.979
 away

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:34.840
 there's

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:35.019
 new

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.420
 vigor

00:14:35.420 --> 00:14:36.279
 in the

00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:36.620
 bones

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.940
 there's

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:38.240
 a new

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:38.639
 spring

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:38.940
 in the

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:39.279
 step

00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.639
 there's

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:40.779
 a

00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:41.340
 lightness

00:14:41.340 --> 00:14:42.159
 there's

00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:42.620
 a joy

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:43.080
 in the

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:43.360
 heart

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:43.639
 and it

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.060
 just keeps

00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:44.560
 building

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:45.300
 and increasing

00:14:45.300 --> 00:14:46.039
 until each

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.840
 one appears

00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.680
 in those

00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:49.480
 temple courts

00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:50.600
 before God

00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.139
 in Zion

00:14:52.139 --> 00:14:54.899
 so it's not

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:55.360
 an easy

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:55.680
 journey

00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:56.139
 at the

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:56.500
 start

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:58.259
 and it

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:58.759
 even brings

00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.240
 you down

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.860
 into the

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:00.220
 valley

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:02.500
 from there

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.019
 it requires

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.559
 even more

00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:04.100
 to climb

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:04.840
 up to

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:05.600
 the mountain

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.000
 Mount Zion

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.679
 but the

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:09.259
 closer we

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.659
 get to

00:15:09.659 --> 00:15:10.019
 God

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:11.100
 the stronger

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:11.799
 we feel

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.580
 the stronger

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:13.240
 we are

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.139
 verses 8

00:15:18.139 --> 00:15:18.480
 and 9

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.120
 are a

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.700
 prayer to

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:19.940
 God

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.220
 in the

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:20.600
 midst of

00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:20.860
 this

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:22.000
 he asked

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.299
 the Lord

00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:22.840
 to listen

00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:23.480
 and then

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.740
 he prays

00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:25.200
 and asks

00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:25.639
 God to

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.179
 bless the

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:26.519
 anointed

00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:26.879
 one

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.359
 that would

00:15:28.359 --> 00:15:28.659
 be the

00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:29.599
 God's

00:15:29.599 --> 00:15:29.919
 chosen

00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:30.279
 king

00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:30.779
 of Israel

00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:31.399
 whoever it

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:31.759
 was

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:32.379
 in the

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:32.620
 days

00:15:32.620 --> 00:15:32.959
 that this

00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:33.419
 was sung

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:35.859
 and then

00:15:35.859 --> 00:15:36.279
 the song

00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:36.819
 continues

00:15:36.819 --> 00:15:37.159
 with a

00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:37.519
 sort of

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:38.039
 reveling

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:38.379
 in the

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:38.779
 moment

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:41.000
 a deep

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:41.679
 enjoyment

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.839
 of being

00:15:42.839 --> 00:15:43.500
 here at

00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:44.000
 the temple

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.899
 in the

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:45.199
 presence

00:15:45.199 --> 00:15:45.679
 of God

00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.059
 in verse

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:46.459
 10

00:15:46.459 --> 00:15:47.620
 he says

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:48.239
 better is

00:15:48.239 --> 00:15:49.219
 one day

00:15:49.219 --> 00:15:50.219
 in your

00:15:50.219 --> 00:15:50.679
 courts

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.139
 than

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:52.740
 thousands

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:53.259
 elsewhere

00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:55.559
 I'd

00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:55.919
 rather be

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:56.119
 a

00:15:56.119 --> 00:15:56.379
 door

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:56.739
 keeper

00:15:56.739 --> 00:15:57.039
 in the

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:57.279
 house

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:57.579
 of my

00:15:57.579 --> 00:15:57.899
 God

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:58.139
 than

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.500
 dwell

00:15:58.500 --> 00:15:58.779
 in the

00:15:58.779 --> 00:15:59.099
 tents

00:15:59.099 --> 00:16:00.259
 of the

00:16:00.259 --> 00:16:00.559
 wicked

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.799
 for the

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:03.319
 Lord God

00:16:03.319 --> 00:16:03.679
 is a

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.059
 sun

00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:05.059
 and shield

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:06.339
 the Lord

00:16:06.339 --> 00:16:06.799
 bestows

00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:07.500
 favor and

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.859
 honor

00:16:07.859 --> 00:16:08.879
 no good

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.179
 thing

00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:09.519
 does he

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:09.939
 withhold

00:16:09.939 --> 00:16:10.500
 from those

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:11.099
 whose walk

00:16:11.099 --> 00:16:12.279
 is blameless

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:16.159
 what do you

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.439
 think

00:16:16.439 --> 00:16:17.679
 do you think

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.019
 that the

00:16:18.019 --> 00:16:18.379
 guy who

00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:18.839
 wrote this

00:16:18.839 --> 00:16:19.159
 song

00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:20.379
 really met

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:21.259
 with God

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:21.619
 when he

00:16:21.619 --> 00:16:21.939
 went up

00:16:21.939 --> 00:16:22.219
 to the

00:16:22.219 --> 00:16:22.519
 temple

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.980
 or was

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.100
 he

00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:25.659
 disappointed

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:28.799
 far from

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.360
 disappointment

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.460
 he says

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.259
 I would

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:31.939
 rather be

00:16:31.939 --> 00:16:32.799
 here in

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.419
 your temple

00:16:33.419 --> 00:16:33.939
 courts

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:35.000
 for one

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.399
 day

00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:36.860
 than be

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:37.639
 anywhere else

00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:37.960
 for a

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:38.299
 thousand

00:16:38.299 --> 00:16:40.699
 that's how

00:16:40.699 --> 00:16:41.079
 precious

00:16:41.079 --> 00:16:41.620
 that's how

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:42.259
 wonderful it

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.899
 was for him

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:43.639
 to be in

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.039
 God's

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.460
 presence

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:45.000
 to know

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:46.319
 that

00:16:46.319 --> 00:16:46.720
 nearness

00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.460
 to God

00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:49.960
 and he

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:50.419
 pulls in

00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:50.740
 metaphor

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.620
 to describe

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:52.059
 what God

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:52.519
 is like

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.379
 to him

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.059
 here

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:54.839
 in this

00:16:54.839 --> 00:16:55.279
 place

00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.599
 God is

00:16:56.599 --> 00:16:57.039
 to me

00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:57.859
 here and

00:16:57.859 --> 00:16:58.179
 now

00:16:58.179 --> 00:16:59.159
 like the

00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.639
 sun

00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.819
 like the

00:17:01.819 --> 00:17:02.259
 sun is

00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:02.599
 to a

00:17:02.599 --> 00:17:02.919
 man

00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:03.739
 living in

00:17:03.739 --> 00:17:03.859
 the

00:17:03.859 --> 00:17:04.240
 darkness

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.539
 this should

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:08.059
 really speak

00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:08.399
 to our

00:17:08.399 --> 00:17:08.759
 hearts

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:09.559
 at this

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:09.960
 time of

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.220
 year

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:11.419
 we're about

00:17:11.419 --> 00:17:11.899
 four days

00:17:11.899 --> 00:17:12.319
 away from

00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:12.759
 the shortest

00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:13.779
 day of

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:14.200
 the year

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:15.200
 and I

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.440
 don't know

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:15.819
 about you

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:16.119
 but I

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.619
 already find

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.059
 myself

00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:17.539
 just

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:19.000
 yearning

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.399
 for that

00:17:19.399 --> 00:17:19.819
 sun to

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.200
 come up

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.460
 in the

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:20.859
 mornings

00:17:20.859 --> 00:17:21.659
 look it's

00:17:21.659 --> 00:17:22.119
 eight o'clock

00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:22.519
 already

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.000
 where is

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.259
 it

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:26.479
 what a

00:17:26.479 --> 00:17:26.919
 difference

00:17:26.919 --> 00:17:27.500
 it makes

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:27.899
 when all

00:17:27.899 --> 00:17:28.319
 of a sudden

00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:29.279
 it rises

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.899
 and the

00:17:29.899 --> 00:17:30.579
 whole world

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:31.279
 is lit up

00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.779
 by it

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:32.379
 and we

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:32.859
 feel the

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:33.319
 warmth

00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.740
 God makes

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.599
 a similar

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.899
 level of

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:39.439
 difference

00:17:39.439 --> 00:17:40.579
 to us

00:17:40.579 --> 00:17:41.199
 when we

00:17:41.199 --> 00:17:41.819
 see him

00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:42.759
 in his

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.179
 glory

00:17:43.179 --> 00:17:44.379
 when we

00:17:44.379 --> 00:17:44.879
 draw near

00:17:44.879 --> 00:17:45.139
 him

00:17:45.139 --> 00:17:45.459
 when we

00:17:45.459 --> 00:17:46.079
 feel the

00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:46.519
 warmth of

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.079
 his presence

00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:47.539
 in this

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:48.379
 cold

00:17:48.379 --> 00:17:49.539
 dark world

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:50.200
 he's like

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:50.740
 a sun

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:51.579
 to us

00:17:51.579 --> 00:17:54.740
 he's also

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.180
 like a

00:17:55.180 --> 00:17:55.519
 shield

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.139
 to his

00:17:56.139 --> 00:17:56.500
 people

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:57.139
 says the

00:17:57.139 --> 00:17:57.579
 psalmist

00:17:57.579 --> 00:18:00.700
 do you need

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.159
 a shield

00:18:01.159 --> 00:18:02.579
 right now

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:04.039
 with some

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:04.220
 of the

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:04.619
 things that

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:05.299
 you're going

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:05.720
 through in

00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:06.240
 your life

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:09.700
 and there's

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:10.039
 more

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:11.539
 he says

00:18:11.539 --> 00:18:11.980
 the Lord

00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:12.559
 bestows

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.079
 favor

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.279
 and honor

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.339
 he gives

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:17.619
 he shows

00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:18.319
 his kindness

00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.500
 he lifts

00:18:20.500 --> 00:18:20.899
 us up

00:18:20.899 --> 00:18:21.619
 and blesses

00:18:21.619 --> 00:18:22.019
 us even

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:22.339
 though we

00:18:22.339 --> 00:18:22.799
 don't deserve

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.420
 it

00:18:23.420 --> 00:18:25.539
 no good

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:25.960
 thing does

00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:26.460
 he withhold

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:27.019
 from those

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:27.619
 whose walk

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.920
 is blameless

00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.720
 so for those

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:31.200
 who on the

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.059
 on the whole

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:32.960
 are seeking

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.680
 by faith

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:34.299
 to live

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:35.399
 the way

00:18:35.399 --> 00:18:35.859
 that God

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:36.440
 has asked

00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:36.940
 to honor

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:37.279
 him

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.559
 to live

00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:38.899
 rightly

00:18:38.899 --> 00:18:39.500
 before him

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.160
 he withholds

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:40.740
 nothing

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.180
 good

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:43.779
 he's

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.440
 absolutely

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.279
 willing

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:45.759
 he's

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.299
 absolutely

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.840
 eager

00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:48.080
 to give

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:48.720
 all good

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:49.180
 things

00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:50.340
 to those

00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:50.759
 who walk

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:51.420
 by faith

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.340
 rightly

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:53.539
 before him

00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:57.900
 the song

00:18:57.900 --> 00:18:58.640
 closes with

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.000
 this

00:18:59.000 --> 00:18:59.560
 Lord

00:18:59.560 --> 00:19:00.060
 almighty

00:19:00.060 --> 00:19:01.120
 blessed

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:01.460
 is the

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:01.660
 one

00:19:01.660 --> 00:19:01.880
 who

00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:02.259
 trusts

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:02.460
 in

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:02.700
 you

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:07.400
 this

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:07.680
 song

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:07.920
 is

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.460
 really

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.060
 amazing

00:19:09.060 --> 00:19:10.160
 it

00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:10.500
 touches

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:10.860
 us

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:11.379
 it speaks

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:11.879
 to us

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:12.399
 it calls

00:19:12.399 --> 00:19:12.899
 to us

00:19:12.899 --> 00:19:13.479
 it applies

00:19:13.479 --> 00:19:13.919
 to us

00:19:13.919 --> 00:19:14.279
 in so

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:14.459
 many

00:19:14.459 --> 00:19:14.779
 different

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:15.179
 ways

00:19:15.179 --> 00:19:15.899
 I was

00:19:15.899 --> 00:19:16.359
 confounded

00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:16.859
 this week

00:19:16.859 --> 00:19:17.279
 just trying

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.939
 to bring

00:19:18.939 --> 00:19:19.319
 them all

00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:19.779
 together

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:22.019
 first and

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:22.519
 foremost

00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.799
 this psalm

00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:24.500
 asks us

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:25.059
 this very

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:25.500
 personal

00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:26.039
 question

00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.059
 do you

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:28.619
 long

00:19:28.619 --> 00:19:29.799
 to be

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.939
 with

00:19:30.939 --> 00:19:31.299
 God

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:34.799
 do you

00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:35.319
 desire

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.619
 his

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:36.179
 presence

00:19:36.179 --> 00:19:40.779
 and more

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.339
 do you

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.639
 long

00:19:41.639 --> 00:19:41.980
 to be

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:42.319
 with him

00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:42.539
 like

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:43.059
 this

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:44.639
 with a

00:19:44.639 --> 00:19:45.160
 passion

00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.680
 is there

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.160
 a deep

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:50.700
 yearning

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:51.059
 in your

00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:51.460
 soul

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:52.200
 for him

00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.039
 this is

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:56.440
 what God

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:56.839
 asks

00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:57.619
 of us

00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:58.099
 here

00:19:58.099 --> 00:19:59.440
 do you

00:19:59.440 --> 00:19:59.720
 long

00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.220
 to be

00:20:00.220 --> 00:20:01.460
 with

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:01.819
 God

00:20:01.819 --> 00:20:03.519
 does

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:03.700
 your

00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:03.940
 heart

00:20:03.940 --> 00:20:04.279
 cry

00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:04.519
 out

00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:04.700
 for

00:20:04.700 --> 00:20:04.960
 him

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:11.900
 around

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:12.140
 this

00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:12.380
 time

00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:12.539
 of

00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:12.779
 year

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:14.279
 as we

00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:14.700
 reflect

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.039
 on

00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:16.360
 the

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:16.620
 birth

00:20:16.620 --> 00:20:16.799
 of

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.160
 Christ

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:17.380
 I

00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:17.660
 couldn't

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:17.860
 help

00:20:17.860 --> 00:20:18.019
 but

00:20:18.019 --> 00:20:18.299
 think

00:20:18.299 --> 00:20:19.140
 of

00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:19.299
 the

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:19.579
 words

00:20:19.579 --> 00:20:19.740
 of

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.200
 Isaiah

00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.539
 he

00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:23.779
 said

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:24.200
 God

00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:24.759
 is

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.460
 a

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:25.799
 son

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.279
 God

00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:27.440
 is

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:27.600
 a

00:20:27.600 --> 00:20:27.840
 son

00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:28.000
 and

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.160
 a

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:28.519
 shield

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.559
 what

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:30.680
 did

00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.000
 Isaiah

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.400
 say

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.740
 he

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:33.880
 said

00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:34.019
 the

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:34.320
 people

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:34.680
 walking

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:34.900
 in

00:20:34.900 --> 00:20:35.280
 darkness

00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:35.540
 have

00:20:35.540 --> 00:20:35.759
 seen

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:35.920
 a

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.300
 great

00:20:36.300 --> 00:20:36.800
 light

00:20:36.800 --> 00:20:37.400
 on

00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:37.660
 those

00:20:37.660 --> 00:20:37.980
 living

00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:38.120
 in

00:20:38.120 --> 00:20:38.220
 the

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.519
 land

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:38.740
 of

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.400
 deep

00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:40.000
 darkness

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.080
 a

00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:41.300
 light

00:20:41.300 --> 00:20:41.580
 has

00:20:41.580 --> 00:20:42.340
 dawned

00:20:42.340 --> 00:20:43.720
 for

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:43.940
 to

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.259
 us

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.759
 a

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.220
 child

00:20:45.220 --> 00:20:45.480
 is

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:45.780
 born

00:20:45.780 --> 00:20:46.900
 to

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:47.240
 us

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:47.920
 a

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:48.259
 son

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:48.980
 is

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:49.360
 given

00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:56.740
 long

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.080
 after

00:20:57.080 --> 00:20:57.480
 this

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.259
 God

00:20:59.259 --> 00:20:59.420
 was

00:20:59.420 --> 00:20:59.720
 planning

00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:00.120
 something

00:21:00.120 --> 00:21:00.620
 special

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:00.979
 he

00:21:00.979 --> 00:21:01.159
 was

00:21:01.159 --> 00:21:01.479
 planning

00:21:01.479 --> 00:21:01.739
 to

00:21:01.739 --> 00:21:02.259
 shine

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:02.719
 into

00:21:02.719 --> 00:21:03.039
 our

00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:03.519
 world

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.459
 like

00:21:04.459 --> 00:21:04.819
 never

00:21:04.819 --> 00:21:05.319
 before

00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:06.479
 just

00:21:06.479 --> 00:21:06.659
 like

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:06.859
 the

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:07.079
 son

00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:07.459
 does

00:21:07.459 --> 00:21:08.579
 through

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.000
 his

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.279
 own

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.719
 son

00:21:09.719 --> 00:21:09.959

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.399
 born

00:21:10.399 --> 00:21:12.699
 as

00:21:12.699 --> 00:21:12.939
 we've

00:21:12.939 --> 00:21:13.059
 been

00:21:23.739 --> 00:21:24.839
 Jesus

00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.119

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.339
 more

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:36.380
 what

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:18.500

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:20.539
 what

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:20.680
 did

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:20.900
 Jesus

 gave

 great

00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:22.799
 commission

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:23.039
 to

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:25.480
 he

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:25.700
 said

00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:26.080
 surely

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:26.420
 I

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:26.580
 am

00:26:26.580 --> 00:26:26.900

 this

00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:32.720
 is

00:26:38.919 --> 00:26:42.459
 the

00:26:42.459 --> 00:26:42.699
 one

00:26:42.699 --> 00:26:42.919
 born

 we

00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.559
 in

00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:47.899
 him

00:26:47.899 --> 00:26:50.659
 and

00:26:50.659 --> 00:26:50.959
 yet

00:26:50.959 --> 00:26:52.799
 amazingly

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:54.799
 there

00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:54.939

00:26:54.939 --> 00:26:55.159
 still

00:26:55.159 --> 00:26:55.559
 something

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:55.839
 so

00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:56.159
 true

00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:56.440
 about

 these

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:56.980
 words

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.160
 in

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:57.480
 Psalm

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.400
 84

00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.380
 yes

00:27:00.380 --> 00:27:00.640
 God

00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:00.800
 is

00:27:00.800 --> 00:27:01.040

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.500

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:03.000
 but

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:03.259
 there's

00:27:03.259 --> 00:27:03.480
 still

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:03.680
 the

00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:03.960
 longing

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:04.220
 for

00:27:04.220 --> 00:27:04.480
 a

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:04.980
 fuller

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:05.840

00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:06.240

 his

00:27:06.420 --> 00:27:06.940
 presence

00:27:06.940 --> 00:27:08.700
 there's

00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:08.880
 still

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:09.300
 a deep

00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:09.800
 yearning

00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:10.580
 for

00:27:10.580 --> 00:27:10.779
