Benediction


Be Blessed, Be Safe and Be a Blessing!!

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.


Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!


Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.


Refrain


Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!


Refrain


Yield Not to Temptation

Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin

Each victory will help you some other to win

Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,

Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.


Refrain

Ask the Savior to help you,

Comfort, strengthen and keep you

He is willing to aid you,

He will carry you through.


Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,

God’s name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain

Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true,

Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.


Refrain


To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown

Through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down

He who is our Savior our strength will renew

Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through.


Refrain

Pass It On

It only takes a spark to get a fire going,

And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;

That's how it is with God's Love,

Once you've experienced it,

Your spread the love to everyone

You want to pass it on.

 

What a wondrous time is spring,

When all the tress are budding

The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;

That's how it is with God's love,

Once you've experienced it.

You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,

You want to pass it on.

 

I wish for you my friend

This happiness that I've found;

You can depend on God

It matters not where you're bound,

I'll shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD!

I want the world to know

The Lord of love has come to me

I want to pass it on.

 

I'll shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD!

I want the world to know

The Lord of love has come to me

I want to pass it on.

Something to Think About

“A common mistake we make is that we look for God in places where we ourselves wish to find him, yet even in the physical reality this is a complete failure. For example, if you lost your car keys, you would not search where you want to search, you would search where you must in order to find them.”

― Criss Jami, Killosophy


“In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.” Isaac Newton


“Now it would be as absurd to deny the existence of God, because we cannot see him, as it would be to deny the existence of the air or wind, because we cannot see it.” Adam Clarke


 “It is not the objective proof of God’s existence that we want but the experience of God’s presence. That is the miracle we are really after, and that is also, I think, the miracle that we really get.” Frederick Buechner


“Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely. … He loves every one of us, even those who are flawed, rejected, awkward, sorrowful, or broken.” ― Dieter F. Uchtdorf
