00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.040
 Please turn your applause to Psalm 103.

00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:04.919
 Psalm 103.

00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:07.040
 We're going to slow down for next.

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:07.040
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.119
 Every single one of us was created for praise.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:36.460
 We see that, don't we?

00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:39.120
 You go to watch the football.

00:00:39.299 --> 00:00:40.280
 You go to watch the football.

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:42.659
 And how do you watch the football?

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.560
 You sit there quietly with your hands underneath your thighs.

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:47.400
 You don't hear.

00:00:47.519 --> 00:00:48.179
 You cheer.

00:00:48.859 --> 00:00:50.439
 And you shout.

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.519
 And you sing.

00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.120
 And you sing praise songs about your team.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.400
 You go to the opera.

00:00:58.679 --> 00:00:59.719
 Some of you go to the opera.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:01.960
 At the end of the opera, what do you do?

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:04.900
 Do you sit there in silence and nod?

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:05.379
 No, you don't.

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:06.099
 You get up.

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:06.939
 I'm told.

00:01:07.540 --> 00:01:08.719
 You shout, don't you?

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:09.180
 Bravo!

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:10.319
 Or something like that.

00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:10.680
 Bravo!

00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:12.799
 You go to the gig.

00:01:13.460 --> 00:01:14.980
 How do you stand at the gig?

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:16.980
 You just tap your foot?

00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:17.740
 You don't, do you?

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.879
 You join in, adoringly, singing the lyrics.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.319
 We were created for praise.

00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.340
 Everywhere we look in our culture, there is praise.

00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:34.460
 And all of us knows that this is the kind of natural need of our hearts.

00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:39.159
 And so, think of your teachers, kids in school while they write on your books.

00:01:40.219 --> 00:01:42.659
 For many of you, you love it, don't you, when they write well done.

00:01:43.559 --> 00:01:44.379
 Excellent work.

00:01:45.459 --> 00:01:46.299
 Good job.

00:01:46.979 --> 00:01:47.919
 High five.

00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:49.739
 A pat on the back.

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.799
 Thumbs up emojis.

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.980
 As human beings, we are created for praise.

00:01:56.340 --> 00:01:59.340
 And Psalm 103 is a psalm of pure praise.

00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:02.719
 Everywhere you look, there's just praise.

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.020
 Good news praise, gospel praise, eternal praise.

00:02:08.060 --> 00:02:09.180
 Pure worship.

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:14.580
 And the only name describing who God is in Psalm 103 is the name Yahweh.

00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:19.819
 It is the name, the Lord, that was given to his people and his people alone.

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.480
 The great I am who I am.

00:02:23.099 --> 00:02:24.159
 The eternal one.

00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.900
 And the psalm focuses on who God is and what he's done and how he relates to people.

00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:39.980
 And it focuses on his salvation, how he saves, how he rescues men, boys and girls like you and me.

00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:43.900
 And there's no real mention of the historical circumstances.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.120
 So, we don't know when it was written or what led to it being written.

00:02:47.420 --> 00:02:49.099
 There's no mention of an enemy.

00:02:50.700 --> 00:02:52.500
 In Psalm 103, there are no requests.

00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:53.900
 There are no petitions.

00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:56.219
 There are no complaints.

00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.400
 There's no clouds on the horizon.

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.480
 There's no hints of disappointment.

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:03.879
 There's no sadness, actually.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:10.340
 It is a psalm of joyful, thankful, overflowing praise.

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.879
 And it is a great place for you and I to go in our constant fight for joy.

00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:19.340
 Because it is a fight for joy, isn't it?

00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:24.200
 To rejoice, again, I say rejoice, the command, Paul says.

00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:31.579
 And every line of Psalm 103 encourages you and I to worship God with a humble and grateful spirit.

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:35.419
 For the Lord is good and his mercy endures forever.

00:03:36.179 --> 00:03:39.000
 And he is kind and he is loving towards you and I.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.620
 The first word of the psalm is bless.

00:03:42.620 --> 00:03:45.759
 And somebody sneezes.

00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:48.319
 And someone says, bless you.

00:03:50.700 --> 00:03:53.700
 And somebody tells you a sad story and you say, ah, bless.

00:03:55.379 --> 00:03:59.680
 Somebody says something encouraging to you and you say, ah, bless your soul.

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.599
 Or they say to you, ah, you're leaving blessings.

00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:05.700
 What on earth does it mean?

00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:13.520
 Well, when the Lord blesses us, he looks at our situation, he reviews our needs and he responds to them.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:23.439
 And when we bless the Lord, we review his excellencies, how excellent God is, and we respond to them.

00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:25.280
 There's a difference, isn't there?

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:30.939
 When God blesses you and me, we are helped and we are strengthened and we are made better.

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.420
 We've made better off than we were before.

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.740
 We've experienced God's blessing and it has changed us.

00:04:36.740 --> 00:04:44.379
 But when men and women and boys and girls bless God, God is not helped and God is not strengthened and God is not made better off.

00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:50.879
 Man's blessing of God is an expression of praising thankfulness.

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:58.040
 And so when the Old Testament speaks of blessing God, it doesn't kind of give you a process of increasing God's strength.

00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:07.040
 But when Psalm 103 says, bless the Lord, it is saying, exclaim gratitude and thanksgiving.

00:05:08.140 --> 00:05:10.000
 Spurgeon says this, he blessed you.

00:05:10.939 --> 00:05:12.080
 And so bless him in return.

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.100
 Bless his name, his character, his person.

00:05:15.820 --> 00:05:18.320
 Whatever he does, be sure that you bless him for it.

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.500
 Bless him when he takes away, as well as when he gives.

00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:24.780
 Bless him as long as you live, under all circumstances.

00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:28.679
 Bless him in all his attributes, from whatever point of view you consider him.

00:05:29.979 --> 00:05:31.159
 Now look with me at the psalm.

00:05:31.239 --> 00:05:32.479
 It is structured beautifully.

00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.019
 Look at verses 1 to 3 and there are four alls.

00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:40.179
 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me.

00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:41.339
 Bless his holy name.

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:44.779
 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:48.059
 Who forgives all your iniquity.

00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.859
 Who heals all your diseases.

00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:55.420
 And then go to the end of the psalm, and verse 19.

00:05:56.060 --> 00:06:01.120
 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:02.920
 And verse 21.

00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:08.220
 Bless the Lord, all his house, his ministers who do his will.

00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.660
 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion.

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:16.439
 And there's another one thrown in verse 6, an extra one thrown in verse 6.

00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:18.060
 All of me.

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:20.960
 It's an all-in psalm.

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:29.920
 It's the psalmist's way of saying that you are to love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength.

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:44.939
 A way to bless the Lord with my conscience, with my judgment, with my imagination, with my affections, with my desires, with my memory, with my thoughts, with my hopes, with my senses, with my every act.

00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:56.259
 And can you see that the call to worship in Psalm 103, it is personal, it is fervent, it is rational, and it is specific.

00:06:56.259 --> 00:07:13.480
 This God who rules over all things, and all good things for all persons, I need to praise with all my heart and mind and soul and strength in every place.

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:17.480
 And all creatures need to do it as well.

00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.920
 Can you see the trajectory of the psalm?

00:07:21.719 --> 00:07:26.019
 So verses 1 and 2, there's a double call to worship.

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.939
 Bless, bless.

00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:36.819
 And then you look at verses 20 to 22, and again there is bless, bless, bless, bless.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:41.219
 Psalm begins with a personal call to worship.

00:07:42.180 --> 00:07:44.659
 It ends with a personal call to worship.

00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:50.300
 And in between it goes all around the world and into outer space.

00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:52.520
 It traverses the infinite universes.

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.360
 It moves from verses 1 to 5 from his own soul to verses 6 to...

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:04.000
 6 to 19 to the people of Israel.

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:07.379
 And verses 17 to 19 to the whole of the universe.

00:08:07.740 --> 00:08:09.580
 Three concentric circles.

00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:11.100
 My own soul.

00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:13.300
 The people of God.

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:14.840
 The whole of the universe.

00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.199
 And it calls for everything in existence to bless the Lord.

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.479
 But it's a psalm for believers.

00:08:24.159 --> 00:08:25.759
 It's a psalm for the redeemed.

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:29.500
 Three times it refers to the fear of the Lord.

00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:32.379
 It refers to those who keep his covenant.

00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:35.240
 It's a psalm for the people of God, for the church.

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.639
 Psalm 103 closes on book 4 of the Psalter.

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.059
 And there's three other psalms that finish it off.

00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:44.500
 And they all begin, 104, 105, 106.

00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.759
 They all begin bless the Lord.

00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.720
 And the start of book 4 is Psalm 107.

00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.100
 And that begins with bless the Lord.

00:08:52.259 --> 00:08:56.919
 It's like the blessing at the end of book 3 spills over into book 4.

00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:01.299
 And some say it's written by David in his old age.

00:09:02.460 --> 00:09:04.919
 It's written by David as he looks back and he reflects.

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.240
 There may be some truth in that, isn't it?

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:14.220
 As you get older, you've got longer to reflect on the mercies and the blessings and the providences of God.

00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:21.220
 And as David looks back on his life, he's accumulated this massive record of God's dealing with him.

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.500
 He looks to see how God has provided for him.

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:31.379
 And he sees that this eternal God alone is worthy of praise.

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.480
 I want to see the first of this calls to worship in the psalm tonight.

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:38.299
 It's an internal call.

00:09:38.379 --> 00:09:40.240
 Can you see it starts with a positive command?

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:45.480
 A command for the believer, the worshipper, the true worshipper.

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.139
 To tell something to his soul.

00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.480
 He speaks to himself.

00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:49.399
 I hope you talk to yourself.

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.860
 I find talking to myself a great help.

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:54.399
 Talk to yourself.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.059
 And tell yourself, bless the Lord, oh my soul.

00:09:58.059 --> 00:10:02.239
 That's where all true worship starts.

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.259
 It starts in the soul, in the heart.

00:10:07.019 --> 00:10:10.079
 There's no organ at the start of verse 1.

00:10:10.319 --> 00:10:11.719
 There's no praise band.

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:22.379
 This is the soul of the believer crying out to himself and saying, bless the Lord, oh my soul.

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:31.700
 It's the internal bubbling over of a soul that is reflecting on God and his character and his saving grace.

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:40.080
 The soul of the believer is in the heart before it ever shows up in the room.

00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:42.700
 The heart is worshipping.

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:47.460
 And the heart can only go as high in worship as it can go deep in theology.

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:57.740
 The elevation of our hearts and souls in praise and adoration of God directly corresponds to how we know God.

00:10:58.500 --> 00:10:59.860
 To our depth of theology.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.580
 So what I mean is this.

00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:05.600
 A supernatural knowledge of God leads to superficial worship.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.980
 And so we are instructed here to call out to our own souls and bless God.

00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.500
 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me.

00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:20.100
 What does it mean?

00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:22.480
 All that is within me.

00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.600
 Well, we've said it.

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:28.060
 I mean, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul and strength.

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:30.179
 For you to gather your faculties together.

00:11:31.599 --> 00:11:35.719
 And to take your mind and your will and your emotions.

00:11:35.939 --> 00:11:37.359
 Everything that was within you.

00:11:40.619 --> 00:11:42.539
 And to praise and bless the Lord.

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:46.839
 Second statement in Psalm 103 is there, isn't it?

00:11:46.939 --> 00:11:48.619
 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me.

00:11:48.699 --> 00:11:50.099
 Bless his holy name.

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:52.680
 And can you see this joy?

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:58.659
 This unencumbered delight is tied to his holy name.

00:11:58.800 --> 00:11:59.860
 Extricably tied.

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.279
 Our God is set apart.

00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:06.740
 He is different.

00:12:07.800 --> 00:12:09.040
 He is other.

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:12.740
 He is our Father who art in heaven.

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.320
 And yet hallowed be your name.

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:19.980
 This God is different to every other God.

00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.700
 His name shows how he has revealed himself.

00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:27.600
 And he is to be treated with the deepest of reverence.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:29.560
 So there is the positive command.

00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:33.040
 Bless the Lord, oh my soul, all that is within me.

00:12:33.140 --> 00:12:34.020
 Bless his holy name.

00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:35.340
 Bless his holy name.

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:37.220
 And here is the negative command.

00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:38.160
 Do not forget.

00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:41.400
 Do not forget his benefits.

00:12:42.760 --> 00:12:44.100
 Forget not his benefits.

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:45.120
 That's what you tell your soul.

00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:45.980
 Do not forget.

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:48.920
 Benefits is a good translation.

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:51.060
 Some translate it as sufficiencies.

00:12:52.540 --> 00:12:55.640
 But note, can you see how exhaustive it is?

00:12:56.660 --> 00:12:57.460
 Look what it says.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.800
 Forget not all his benefits.

00:13:01.940 --> 00:13:02.780
 Forget none of them.

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.160
 Not one of them.

00:13:06.180 --> 00:13:09.960
 Note every benefit, every mercy, every grace.

00:13:11.560 --> 00:13:13.440
 He is saying, do not miss any of them.

00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.500
 There is a little hymn.

00:13:16.500 --> 00:13:17.740
 Count your blessings.

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.019
 Name them one by one.

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:22.259
 And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:25.960
 And that is how you are to live Christian life.

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.440
 With a constant unending recognition and remembrance.

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.500
 And cataloging it.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:33.500


00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:36.380
 Of all that the Lord has done for you.

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:40.400
 And so the older you are, and the longer the less, isn't it?

00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:45.459
 The older you are, the more spontaneous your praise becomes.

00:13:45.459 --> 00:13:50.340
 Because you have seen, haven't you, that his mercies are new every morning.

00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:51.939
 And great is his faithfulness.

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:58.700
 Many of us here, for decades upon decades, have no benefits of God.

00:14:00.180 --> 00:14:06.740
 And so there is a fountain of praise in the human heart as we remind ourselves and re-record what God has done.

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.880
 We are those who worship in the Spirit, says the Philippians.

00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:12.900
 And we remember the benefits of the Lord.

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:18.279
 So we live our lives recording in our mind every benefit God gives you.

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.759
 Every grace.

00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:23.319
 Every mercy.

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:26.079
 Every good gift.

00:14:27.579 --> 00:14:28.819
 Every providence.

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:30.720
 Every answered prayer.

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:32.360
 Every kind word.

00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:37.139
 Every time a fellow Christian comes to you and ministers grace to you.

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:42.439
 And you fill up your life with remembering the benefits of salvation.

00:14:45.299 --> 00:14:48.539
 And so forgetting is sinful.

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:52.559
 Is it too much to ask?

00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:54.120
 I forgot my time.

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:59.539
 Please remember his benefits because he doesn't remember your sins.

00:15:01.439 --> 00:15:04.500
 And the benefits from God, they come non-stop, don't they?

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:09.019
 No one who has ever lived could catter them all.

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.000
 None of us comes close to worshipping God the way we should.

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:16.120
 It's what he deserves, but it's also what he commands.

00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:18.740
 That you never miss a heavenly gift.

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:21.220
 That you live constantly in sheer joy.

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:24.980
 Even the psalmist who wrote this psalm would fall short of that.

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:34.100
 If somebody says to us, they are living on benefits.

00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:38.000
 That is not a positive thing in our culture, is it?

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:40.560
 That's not viewed in a positive way.

00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.399
 It's not seen to be an admirable thing.

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.779
 Sometimes we need those benefits and we're grateful for them.

00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:51.039
 But none of us want to live on them.

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:59.079
 My eldest brother is an engineer and he's found himself being made redundant a number of times through no fault of his own.

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.500
 And for quite a long period of time he was unemployed.

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:09.659
 And he said he found the walk each week to the Joel office so hard.

00:16:10.500 --> 00:16:11.899
 Humiliating is the word that he used.

00:16:13.219 --> 00:16:14.459
 He was on benefits.

00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:20.320
 Well, it's not humiliating, but when it comes to this world.

00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.519
 And when it comes to the Christian life, I wonder whether you understand that you live on benefits.

00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.700
 You live on benefits.

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.740
 There's a positive command, bless the Lord of my soul.

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:33.200
 And there's a negative command, forget.

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.080
 Do not forget.

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:39.920
 Let me just say here a little bit on the word forget and remember in scripture.

00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:47.219
 We often think of forgetting as it just slipped out of my mind.

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.860
 But remembering in the Bible leads to something.

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:55.500
 It always leads to something.

00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:01.939
 It's not like a kind of fact that you just kind of plucked out of the mind and you say, I remember that.

00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:07.940
 Remembering in the Bible always means bringing to mind and acting.

00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:09.920
 So you think of how God remembers.

00:17:10.080 --> 00:17:11.240
 It's a big theme in scripture.

00:17:12.740 --> 00:17:16.400
 It's not as if God had forgotten Israel in the exodus when they slipped out of his mind.

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:19.059
 God remembered and he acted.

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.799
 He brought to mind and he acted.

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:22.600
 That is the picture.

00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:26.940
 When we come to the Lord's table tonight and we are told to do this in remembrance,

00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:31.420
 that doesn't mean we shut our eyes and try to remember what Jesus looked like on the cross

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:33.480
 and close our eyes and think about what he did.

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:36.920
 No, we are to bring to mind and so to act.

00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:38.559
 That's why the Lord's Supper has been given.

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:41.779
 And so do not forget.

00:17:43.360 --> 00:17:44.860
 Do not forget all his benefits.

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:46.400
 But let's go through the list of his benefits.

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.880
 And the first is forgiveness, isn't it?

00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.160
 Verse 3, who forgives all your iniquities.

00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:52.680
 Forgiveness.

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.259
 What's the first benefit you ought to forget tonight?

00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.480
 You start with the complete pardon for your sin.

00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:02.600
 That is the essence of the gospel.

00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:05.220
 It's not the whole of the gospel, but it's the essence of it.

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:06.400
 It's the firstfruits.

00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:12.420
 That God forgives the sins of those who come to him in repentance and faith.

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:16.539
 And so the good news of the Lord Jesus,

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.600
 it's not about a better life or a happier life or a more fulfilled life.

00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:22.559
 It's not just about fixing your circumstances.

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.819
 It is about forgiveness of sins, the cancelling of the debt.

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.779
 It is about that you, without the Lord Jesus Christ, are on your way to hell.

00:18:32.419 --> 00:18:36.359
 But the Lord will mercifully forgive your sins if you will repent and come to him.

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:40.159
 Through the provision that Christ has made on the cross.

00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:41.240
 And that's where you start.

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.140
 You start with remembering God's forgiveness for your sins.

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:51.700
 It's why Psalm 103 in the Reformed tradition has often been read when it comes to communion service.

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:54.480
 I don't actually know that.

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:55.700
 Johnny Gibson told me that.

00:18:56.900 --> 00:19:00.380
 But because none of you are familiar with the Reformed tradition, you'll believe I can't find it anywhere.

00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.860
 But it's the right thing to do, I think.

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:02.640
 Psalm 103.

00:19:04.019 --> 00:19:05.200
 As you come to the Lord's table.

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.700
 The sins that were passed over in the old covenant have been propitiated.

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.720
 They've been dealt with in the new.

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:14.400
 They've been paid for by the atoning death.

00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:19.200
 By Christ's covenant obedience, the many are made righteous.

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.120
 They're put into the right.

00:19:22.060 --> 00:19:28.060
 Reuben's got a lovely line that he uses, doesn't it, on Sunday mornings after the confession of sin and the assurance of pardon.

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:31.700
 He says, in Christ, confessed sin is forgiven sin.

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:38.780
 And so Psalm 103, before we come to the Lord's table, confronts us tonight with our guilt.

00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:40.940
 Before the Lord.

00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:45.680
 And yet we perceive by faith the great gift of God's grace.

00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:50.000
 And then we respond with gratitude that makes us want to bless the Lord.

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.480
 Notice the word all.

00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:54.700
 Can you see that verse 3?

00:19:54.860 --> 00:19:55.559
 I want you to see that.

00:19:57.840 --> 00:19:58.920
 It's not some of your sin.

00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:05.240
 What sins tonight do you believe that God cannot forgive?

00:20:06.820 --> 00:20:09.320
 Underline the word all, all, all, all.

00:20:10.940 --> 00:20:18.740
 Paul Tucker was a Baptist minister who used to come from London and Surrey, preaching the church that I grew up in.

00:20:19.740 --> 00:20:20.880
 He was quite deformed.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:22.880
 He had a hunchback.

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.940
 He had a wig.

00:20:25.820 --> 00:20:27.240
 And he suffered terribly with asthma.

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:29.100
 He was a very memorable preacher.

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:31.259
 He was a great preacher.

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:33.379
 And one time he was in hospital.

00:20:34.259 --> 00:20:36.640
 And a man was wheeled into the bed next to him.

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:39.180
 And the man eventually came out of his coma.

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:42.500
 There were no little TVs in those days.

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.700
 And so you had to talk to the person next to you.

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.820
 Can you imagine how terrible that was?

00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.299
 Mr Tucker, Reverend Tucker, said to him, what's the matter with you?

00:20:51.900 --> 00:20:52.600
 And to talk.

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.179
 And then later that night, he said, I tried to take my own life.

00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.219
 I've tried to take it five or six occasions.

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:01.000
 But I kind of lose my nerve.

00:21:01.099 --> 00:21:02.259
 And I don't go through with it completely.

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.819
 And I end up here.

00:21:06.219 --> 00:21:09.699
 After a while, Mr Tucker said, why is it that you want to take your life?

00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:14.019
 The man replied, I was driving a road.

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:19.299
 Mr Tucker thought, well, we've all done that.

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:24.079
 I took a corner, the man said, and I should have slowed down, but I was in a rush.

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.400
 Well, we've all done that.

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:29.400
 The back end of my car slid.

00:21:30.139 --> 00:21:32.059
 I killed a mother outright pushing a pram.

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:34.500
 I went to court.

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:35.660
 They sent me to jail.

00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:36.960
 And the family was screaming at me.

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:39.779
 And I can't get rid of what I've done, so I want to die.

00:21:41.339 --> 00:21:42.779
 Now, what do you say to a man like that?

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:46.000
 Now, we've all driven like that, haven't we?

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:51.680
 But we all realise, don't we, the horror and the utter unbearableness of having done that.

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:58.099
 There's not a person here that can't imagine that happening or getting close to that happening.

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:01.680
 Well, they were together in the hospital for many weeks.

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:05.660
 And Mr Tucker explained one verse to him every day.

00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:07.839
 I wonder which verse you'd choose.

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:10.079
 This was the verse.

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:16.879
 The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.

00:22:18.439 --> 00:22:19.240
 Day after day.

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.960
 The man was converted.

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:24.359
 He never tried to take his life again.

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:28.839
 He died many years later in his own bed of a natural death.

00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.719
 And that's how precious the blood of Jesus is.

00:22:35.019 --> 00:22:37.759
 It's capable of taking away sin.

00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:43.279
 It's capable of taking away the worst sin that you can imagine, which he'd probably already done.

00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:46.220
 He suffered enough.

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:53.759
 The sheer violence of what you feel on your sin was poured upon the Lord Jesus and his blood shows us that he didn't die in bed.

00:22:55.360 --> 00:23:00.539
 He violently suffered so that your sin and my sin could be taken away.

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:02.900
 He forgives all your iniquity.

00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:07.019
 And then the second thing, can you see it?

00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:08.140
 He heals all your diseases.

00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:11.500
 And what does that mean?

00:23:13.040 --> 00:23:14.700
 He heals all your diseases.

00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:20.860
 I think he's talking about diseases of the soul, but I think he's talking even more broadly than that.

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:24.259
 Let me read to you from Isaiah chapter 1.

00:23:24.840 --> 00:23:26.140
 Where we read in verse 5,

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:50.740
 There is, and we've got to be careful here, a connection between sin and healing.

00:23:50.740 --> 00:23:59.579
 Death, sickness entered the world because of sin.

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:04.380
 There was no sickness in the Garden of Eden.

00:24:05.539 --> 00:24:07.400
 There was no diseases.

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:15.039
 And so only the sin bearer can remove the curse.

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:20.019
 The restorative work, well we see it, don't we?

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:22.619
 When Jesus came in his earthly ministry,

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:26.000
 he gives a trailer, doesn't he,

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.940
 of what will be fulfilled at the end of the age.

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:33.440
 And yet it's also experienced partially in this life.

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:39.819
 It's teaching you and I that only the sin bearer can remove the curse.

00:24:40.059 --> 00:24:41.400
 So in the drama of the Gospel,

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:46.440
 Jesus demonstrates that he alone has authority from God to forgive sins and heal diseases.

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.220
 You can go to Mark 2.

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:52.819
 And we find Jesus in Mark 1 and 2 fulfilling Psalm 103 verse 3.

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:57.500
 And so we thank God for the healing that he does give in life.

00:24:57.639 --> 00:25:02.039
 But we know, don't we, that is a foretaste of the complete healing that will come for God's people.

00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.039
 With the redemption of our bodies on that final day.

00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:13.220
 I don't know whether this illustration works, but think of a man in America who's on death row.

00:25:14.879 --> 00:25:17.059
 He's been sentenced to death for his crimes.

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:23.319
 But his other problem is this, he is terminally ill with cancer on death row.

00:25:24.639 --> 00:25:29.859
 He has a death sentence from the court, but he also has a death sentence in his body.

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:38.679
 And so even if, somehow, if he could be released from death row and he could be released from the court,

00:25:38.779 --> 00:25:40.879
 he is still facing death in his body, isn't he?

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:51.220
 And so I think Psalm 103 is saying that not only have you been forgiven and your debt have been cancelled,

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:57.400
 but also the death penalty in your body is being reversed.

00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.060
 That one day the Lord Jesus Christ will transform your nature.

00:26:04.660 --> 00:26:08.500
 That one day he will do this fully in that time of glorification.

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:16.440
 And so bless the Lord for forgiven sin and a transformed nature.

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.800
 Thirdly, this benefit that you are not to forget, verse 4, is he redeems your life from the pit.

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:29.700
 He redeems your life from shale, the place of the grave, from hell, from destruction.

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:31.099
 You have forgiveness here.

00:26:32.159 --> 00:26:33.879
 You have justification here.

00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:37.099
 You have sanctification there.

00:26:38.139 --> 00:26:39.000
 You have redemption.

00:26:40.579 --> 00:26:43.200
 He redeems your life from destruction.

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:47.119
 And so we read this from the other side of the cross, don't we?

00:26:47.159 --> 00:26:50.200
 And we know that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:58.720
 In 1912, the Reverend J. Stuart Holden was vicar of St. Paul's Portman Square in London.

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:02.019
 And he was looking forward to a trip to New York.

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:06.740
 And he was going to speak at a Christian conference at Carnegie Hall.

00:27:07.620 --> 00:27:10.460
 Even ministers in those days enjoyed jollies to America.

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:16.160
 And J. Stuart Holden was really looking forward to speaking in New York at a Christian conference in Carnegie Hall.

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:20.860
 But his wife suddenly fell quite seriously ill the day before he was due to sail.

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:28.080
 And the vicar, with much regret, cancelled his ticket aboard HMS Titanic.

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:38.859
 And this unexpected deliverance prompted Stuart Holden to moat the ticket for the Titanic in a frame to which he added the word, Psalm 103, verse 4,

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:41.720
 who redeems your life from destruction.

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:50.480
 And again, I think, like you have the heals all your diseases, I think in this redeems your life from the pit,

00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:55.700
 I think you have both temporal, what we experience now, and final.

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:57.599
 There are both these things in mind.

00:27:59.099 --> 00:28:02.960
 I've told you before, haven't I, we've talked about it before, that every single one of us

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:07.460
 can think of a time when the Lord miraculously spared our life.

00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:12.539
 Every single one of you will be able to think of a time, if you search hard enough now,

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:14.840
 when the Lord miraculously delivered your life.

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:19.259
 There has been a time in your life where you nearly died.

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:22.640
 I can tell you about it, isn't it?

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:25.240
 I told you about it before, that I had been preaching in South Wales,

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.840
 I wasn't feeling very well on the train,

00:28:27.840 --> 00:28:30.160
 and so I walked up the train, I opened the window,

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:35.279
 and I put my head out of the window of the train to get some fresh air.

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:40.119
 And it was at that point that I felt another train zoom past.

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:42.779
 And I can remember it clearly because I had hair.

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:46.319
 And I felt my hair like that.

00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.279
 Like millimetres.

00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.420
 And I'd have been in eternity.

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.180
 He redeems your life from the pit.

00:28:56.879 --> 00:28:57.920
 Don't forget that.

00:28:58.940 --> 00:29:02.519
 Don't forget that temporarily, temporarily, and don't forget that eternally.

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.319
 He redeems your life from the pit.

00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:08.700
 Verse 4, don't forget that he crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.

00:29:09.059 --> 00:29:10.619
 It's committed love he's talking about.

00:29:11.539 --> 00:29:15.279
 Committed love by determined acts on our behalf.

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:18.200
 He shows us compassion.

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:21.539
 And he bestows upon us dignity and honour.

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:22.240
 He crowns us.

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:27.059
 What sin has done, it has dragged you down to the pit.

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:29.539
 God has entered into that pit.

00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:31.179
 And he has elevated you.

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:34.480
 And he has honoured you by making us heirs of God.

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.680
 Joint heirs with his son.

00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:39.759
 So the best Bible illustration is Luke 15, isn't it?

00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:40.759
 The prodigal son.

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.320
 Son goes to his father and says, give me the money that I have when you're dead.

00:29:46.600 --> 00:29:48.060
 And he goes into the far country.

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:48.779
 He wastes it.

00:29:48.820 --> 00:29:49.580
 He squanders it.

00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:53.460
 And he's living with the pigs, which for a Jew is pretty horrific.

00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.680
 Well, it's very horrific.

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.799
 And he's made a mess of his life.

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:58.840
 He's ruined his life.

00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.380
 And he comes to his senses and he begins to walk back to his father's house.

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.620
 And he thinks, I'd be better off in my father's house as a servant.

00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:08.140
 And do you remember what the father does?

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:09.320
 The father runs to him.

00:30:10.120 --> 00:30:11.440
 He sees him afar off.

00:30:12.320 --> 00:30:16.259
 And with great joy and tears, his father embraces his son and welcomes him.

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.980
 And what does he say?

00:30:17.060 --> 00:30:20.980
 He says, bring the best robe and put it on him.

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.620
 Honour him.

00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:24.979
 Put a ring on his finger.

00:30:26.199 --> 00:30:26.799
 Crown him.

00:30:27.479 --> 00:30:32.439
 And put shoes on his feet because this son of mine was dead and is now alive.

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:34.799
 He was lost but now is found.

00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:38.519
 It's a picture, isn't it, of honour.

00:30:39.679 --> 00:30:41.139
 It's a picture of authority.

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:46.359
 And the robe and the ring speak of honour and authority.

00:30:46.479 --> 00:30:49.579
 The shoes speak of sonship in a world where slaves walked barefoot.

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:53.779
 And so we see in these verses what we're not to forget.

00:30:54.759 --> 00:31:03.500
 That if we are in Christ, if we are part of the people of God, we've been justified, we've been redeemed, we've been forgiven, we've been sanctified, we've been glorified.

00:31:03.639 --> 00:31:05.240
 And then finally we are ministered to.

00:31:06.619 --> 00:31:10.480
 Because he satisfies you with good.

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:14.559
 So that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.839
 Psalm 37 verse 4 says this.

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:25.240
 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.619
 I think sometimes we're quite nervous about saying this.

00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:34.659
 But if you walk with the Lord, he will satisfy your soul.

00:31:34.660 --> 00:31:42.940
 It doesn't mean that Christians never experience hardship or sickness or poverty or pain.

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.340
 It doesn't mean that all your immediate needs are immediately met.

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:53.200
 But again, can you see the partial and the whole theme again of Psalm 103?

00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:58.940
 Satisfaction has begun and one day it will be whole.

00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:03.259
 Isaiah 40 takes up the same image.

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.180
 Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:08.080
 They shall mount up with wings like eagles.

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:09.539
 They shall run and not be weary.

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.980
 They shall walk and not faint.

00:32:14.019 --> 00:32:16.920
 And again, as we come to the Lord's table, it is so appropriate, isn't it?

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:18.240
 The partial and the whole.

00:32:18.580 --> 00:32:21.480
 We eat of the bread and we drink of the wine.

00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:28.299
 We have a picture there that Christ is able to satisfy your thirst.

00:32:28.299 --> 00:32:31.180
 He is able to satisfy your deepest longings.

00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.139
 All you need is Christ.

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:39.319
 And it is a picture of a meal that is to come where one day you will be satisfied totally unholy.

00:32:39.639 --> 00:32:41.059
 And we live in that gap.

00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:43.559
 But we know satisfaction now.

00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:46.039
 And then we will know it greater.

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:54.379
 It's a picture that though our outward nature is wasting away as we wait on the Lord inwardly,

00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.339
 we are being renewed day by day.

00:32:56.339 --> 00:32:59.519
 The eagle is what?

00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.179
 It's a symbol of strength and power and vigour.

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:06.639
 And so don't forget.

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:10.699
 Can you look with me in the verses again?

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:13.559
 In verses 3 to 5.

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.659
 Can you see the present tense?

00:33:17.660 --> 00:33:21.640
 He forgives.

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:21.759
 He heals.

00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.680
 He heals.

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.500
 He redeems.

00:33:28.820 --> 00:33:30.420
 He crowns.

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:32.400
 He satisfies.

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:39.420
 The Christian life is a present, continuous life of ongoing blessings.

00:33:39.420 --> 00:33:45.660
 Can you note the freeness and the unreservedness of them?

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:49.980
 Can you note the richness and the variety of them?

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:54.880
 Can you note the constancy and the continuance of them?

00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:06.900
 And this praise that is called for is individual and is fervent and is incessant.

00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:10.539
 Because sin is forgiven.

00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:14.579
 Its power has been subdued.

00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:17.900
 Its penalty has been averted.

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:20.599
 And we are honoured.

00:34:21.680 --> 00:34:23.480
 And we are supplied by God.

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:30.039
 And so the Lord has given you much to remember.

00:34:32.340 --> 00:34:34.659
 And so hear God's command, doesn't it?

00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:36.019
 Bless the Lord.

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:38.400
 All my soul.

00:34:39.860 --> 00:34:41.360
 And all that is within me.

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:43.179
 Bless his holy name.

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:44.179
 Bless his holy name.

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:47.539
 And so let me ask you tonight.

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:48.440
 Do you know anything of this?

00:34:51.739 --> 00:34:54.219
 Do you know what it is to praise God?

00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:00.199
 To glorify the God who made you and to enjoy him?

00:35:03.699 --> 00:35:07.139
 Because what are you going to do with your iniquity?

00:35:09.319 --> 00:35:11.059
 Where are you going to run to, Sinamahan?

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:16.960
 Where are you going to go to deal with your greatest problems?

00:35:17.299 --> 00:35:17.819
 With your guilt?

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:19.539
 Are you going to live for the praise of someone else?

00:35:21.279 --> 00:35:22.739
 Are you going to live for the praise of yourself?

00:35:22.859 --> 00:35:23.679
 You're a fool if you do.

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:28.419
 Because bless the Lord, all my soul.

00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:29.719
 And all that is within me.

00:35:29.839 --> 00:35:31.059
 Bless his holy name.

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.440
 Do not forget.

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:34.099
 He is the only one.

00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:36.059
 Who can forgive.

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:36.699
 Who can heal.

00:35:37.339 --> 00:35:38.119
 Who can redeem.

00:35:38.659 --> 00:35:39.279
 Who can crown.

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:40.859
 Who can satisfy.

00:35:42.359 --> 00:35:42.919
 Let's pray.

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:43.759
 Let's pray.
