Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up?
Free Church.
Hey, great to see you today.
Great day to be in God's house.
I join with our team and mybeautiful wife in welcoming you
to Sunday service at Free Church.
There's a lot of places youcould be today, but you chose to
be with us.
So if you're a guest, wewelcome you.

(00:27):
We welcome you today.
It's going to be a great day.
We have an incredible day instore and, man, I'm just excited
to be here with you.
If you're watching online,thank you for joining us.
Great day to be in God's house.
Hope you feel in your livingroom what we are experiencing
here in this house.

(00:50):
And listen, I just am a lot ofthings going through my mind
right now, but I have.
We're going to get a littlering out, so let me just keep
talking while we can get thisring out.
Otherwise, I'm going to switchmicrophones.
Check one, two, two, one, two.
Everybody good.
Why don't you tell yourneighbor how good they look
today?
They look great.
Best fit in the house.

(01:12):
Check, elliot.
Check.
Check One, two, all right.
Can you hear me?
Okay, it's all right.
All right, let's roll on.
Hey, I'm ready to preach God'sword.
Are you ready to receive ittoday?
The year was 2010, 2010, and wewere in Houston, texas, at the

(01:42):
time, and we were in Houston.
We had a multitude of servicesSaturday service, three Sunday
services, and then we had aWednesday night service, and so
I was also facing this littlemedical issue.
I wasn't really sure.

(02:02):
We had a bunch of tests goingon.
Doctors were saying it's gonnabe one thing or another thing,
and so they were saying but thetest is going to determine that,
and so the test was scheduledfor Thursday and Wednesday.
Before that Thursday test, wehad service and I'll never
forget we were worshiping in thefront, having a moment and just

(02:24):
thanking God and praising, andit was a powerful Wednesday
night service and just like whatwe experienced here, as we were
singing about the blood ofJesus and the name of Jesus that
heals, and declaring hispromises, and I stepped up into
the stage area to transition theservice from worship into the
preaching of the word and kindof what Pastor Matthew does on

(02:47):
Sundays and what Urshana doessometimes as we transition the
moments, and I started todeclare something and I just
felt compelled to like compelthe church into just erupting
worship, like erupting praise,like let's take the roof off the
top, and began just encouragingand exhorting.
And, man, the worship got loudand it was incredible and I was

(03:10):
touched.
And then I went into theThursday appointment and they
did the testing and at the endof the testing they came back
immediately with results andthey were like whatever we
thought it was, it is not.
You're absolutely fine.
We're not sure what caused allthe trauma that led up to this
test, but we can guarantee youare okay and I had a moment

(03:33):
where I realized it was in thepower of praise and worship in
that setting that I was healed.
It's the year I learnedsometimes the result.
If it's not what you're lookingfor, you can praise your way
into the result you need.
Why don't you just turn to yourneighbor and say I'm about to

(03:54):
go all in, and then the otherone you'd be ignoring all
services look back at them andsay I'm about to get my praise
on.
You might need to.
Just, you might need to getsome elbow room.
Huh, you're going to preachwith me nine o'clock service.
Don't bother me if I'm about toget my praise on, because you

(04:20):
don't know, first of all, whatGod's done in my life and you
don't know what I need.
Only God knows what I need.
So we're in this series entitledAll In.
I shared a birthday messagelast week, by the way.
Well done, free church on 13years.
Well done.

(04:41):
Now we're moving forward,celebrated, had some fun, ate a
cupcake, took a picture.
Let's keep going.
Another 13 ahead of us If theLord prevails in my life to
continue that process.
I hope I got 13 more Hope I got26 more Amen.

(05:03):
Some of you are like I hope Igot 13 more Hope I got 26 more
Amen.
Some of you are like I hope so.
Maybe Give them five, lord,give them five.
We started this all in seriesand we've got a key verse.
It's Jeremiah 29, 11.
It says this for I know theplans I have for you, says the
Lord, they are plans for good.

(05:24):
Come on, somebody say good, aGod plan for your life is a good
plan.
And many times you don't justwant good plans, you want God
plans.
The plans of God are good andnot for disaster, to give you a
future and a hope.
So that's the promise andthat's what we hang on to.

(05:46):
We're a church that declaresGod's promises and fulfills his
purpose on this earth.
So there's the promise, butwhat is the purpose.
Watch this In those days whenyou pray, I will listen and God
says this and if you will lookfor me wholeheartedly, you will
find me.
You want those promises in yourlife.
It's gonna take an all-inattitude from your life.

(06:10):
Remember last week we learnedthis that I will never get God's
best until I give God my best.
All of us want to give Godsomething, but are you willing
to give God your best?
Give God something, but are youwilling to give God your best?

(06:32):
It's the values of our church.
Now we talk about vision.
I just said we're a church thatdeclares God's promises and
fulfills his purpose on earthand that leads us to this vision
of helping people know God andfind freedom and discover
purpose and make a difference.
You should know that by now.
If you don't know that, startto memorize those things,
because vision is sight and ifvision is sight, then we need

(06:54):
values for behavior.
So if we know God, we findfreedom, we discover purpose, we
make a difference, then we havevalues.
So if we know where we're going, we have a bridge on how to get
there.
How do we know God on Sunday?
How do we find freedom in smallgroups?
How do we discover purposethrough the freeway.

(07:15):
How do we make a difference?
Through the dream team.
Everybody track in, so that'sthe bridge to help us get to the
vision, but then we need valuesthat guide us.
It's like the guard rails tothe bridge that keep us on the
right path.
Everybody needs values, and ifyou do not determine your values
, your values will be determinedfor you.
In fact, I would say this a lotof us, without leaning in here,

(07:40):
if a lot of us, we lean onculture for our values instead
of declaring our own values andthen lean back into culture.
So we let popular opinion shapeour values, we let popular
teaching shape our values.
And I'm here to tell you, as afamily, you need to have values

(08:04):
or your values will be createdby outside forces, and that's
why we have God's word in ourlife.
So at Free Church, if you don'thave values for your family,
this is where you can start.
Our values at Free Church arethis we love God, we love people
, we pursue excellence and wechoose joy.

(08:29):
Now listen, I'm gonna lean infor a second.
We love God.
I'm gonna preach about this.
We love people.
I need to talk about this.
We love people, we pursueexcellence.
I just said we will not getGod's best if we don't give God
our best.
That's pursuing excellence, notperfection, but taking what God

(08:51):
has resourced me with andgiving that to him as my best.
But I want to just lean in onwe love people for a second Now.
I'm your pastor and I loveevery one of you and I feel
compelled to just speak to thismoment of culture in our world

(09:15):
and I've prayed about this andI'm going to try to be strong
and not emotional.
But you know I'm an emotionalperson, not emotional, but you
know I'm an emotional person andI've prayed about this and I
really ask the Holy Spirit togive me the right words and the

(09:35):
right spirit.
This week was a traumatic weekfor our country and I would just
say this when you love God,that is where our hope is.
Our hope is in God and Godalone.
Our hope is not in people.
The psalmist said this Sometrust in men or princes, some

(10:00):
trust in horses or chariots, butwe will trust in the Lord, our
God.
So we love God but we lovepeople.
And when we love people, thevalue of free trust, we don't
just love people like us, welove all people.
And I would just say thisbecause I know, in a room like

(10:22):
this, I'm not a politicalactivist, I'm a pastor, so I can
only lean in on God's word.
So the first thing is we're tolove the Lord, god with all our
heart, soul, mind and strength.
We love God.
The second is, we love people.
We love our neighbor as ourself.
So, no matter where you sit ona political realm, this is an

(10:46):
important lesson for us to learn.
Charlie Kirk Was not a pastor,he was a political activist, but
he was a Christian and youmight not agree with everything
he said and I'm not asking youto agree.
I didn't agree with everythinghe said.
In fact, I didn't follow him, Idon't know him.

(11:06):
I have friends that have methim and had dinners and lunches
with him, and so they know him.
On a personal level I do not,but I know this he did profess
to be a Christian, but he was apolitical activist and when
you're an activist you'reactivating something and in the
political environment that weare witnessing in our life, it

(11:28):
really used to be good to belike right in the middle of the
road, but now there's like thisfar side and this other far side
, and they're both far sides,can we agree?
They're both far.
I want to be in the middle andI want to be a bridge builder
and I want to be a person thatpeople can look to and find

(11:51):
strength and hope.
So when I say we love God, welove God without a doubt.
When I say we love people, welove all people, whether we
agree with them or not.
And I think what we need tolearn as a people is there are
things that we have to agree on.
We have to agree that JesusChrist is the son of God.

(12:13):
We have to agree that the Bibleis the word of God and we have
to agree that we have to be bornagain of God.
That's what we have to agreeabout to get to heaven.
Everything else we may not haveto agree about, but if we
disagree, we can agree todisagree, and that is what is

(12:34):
lost in our country right nowMelissa Hartman in Minnesota,
charlie Kirk, people whose liveshave been taken because we have
built an environment around usthat says if you don't agree
with me, you're wrong and Idon't like you, and that's not
the fabric of what our nationwas built on, but that's not

(12:56):
what the word of God was builton.
And let me tell you, if I'mknocking everything off the
stage, cause I'm so, but listen,if, if you're, you love the
people you love, love them witheverything you have and the
people that you don't agree withor you're not sure about you,

(13:18):
love them with the love ofChrist.
In fact, the Bible says prayfor your enemies, bless those
who persecute you and be good tothose who are harmful to you.
So today, as much as I'mpraying for the Kirk family, I'm
praying for the young man'sfamily and for that young man

(13:39):
that made a decision that hasaltered his life forever and
changed his family trajectoryforever.
And so we have to be asChristians.
We can stand on God's word, wecan stand on the truth of God's
word and we can love peoplebecause of what God's word says.
Can you agree with that church?

(14:01):
So we love God, we love people.
Let's talk about loving God.
Loving God as a value means itneeds behaviors.
When I say I love God, there'sa descriptive way that I just it

(14:29):
works for me.
When I love God, I love God'spresence, and I'm so thankful
that the promise of God in mylife and for your life is that
when you gather with two orthree in the name of Jesus, he
shows up that when you enter hiscourts and enter his gates with
thanksgiving and praise, heshows up that he is a God who

(14:50):
inhabits the place where peoplepraise him.
So when we say we love God,there's values that are
associated with that, because welove God's presence and
whatever I have to do, thank theLord that I really never can
get away from God's presence.
I never can get away from God'slove, but I'm passionate about
his presence.
So when I say we love God, whatare the values?
Number one we pray first.

(15:11):
That's a behavior to the valueof loving God.
You say well, what is the valueof loving God?
What does that look like in mylife?
Number one you pray first.
Before you form an opinion,before you go into a meeting,
before you take a test, beforeyou drive down the street,
before you start your day, pray.
The second thing, anotherversion or a behavior of the

(15:35):
value of loving God, is weworship passionately.
You just experienced that inthis house Hands raised, tears
flowing down our face, jumpingup and down, running, sometimes
clapping, kneeling.
I'm going to preach about allthose things in a second.
But we worship passionately.
Another behavior is we read hisword daily.
This is as I was praying thismorning over the service and

(15:57):
knowing that there's all kind ofunrest in our community and I
was like God, what's the wordfor today?
And in my daily bible reading?
Because even though it's Sunday, I still go through my morning
routine.
Like you don't throw out yourroutine, so like I start my

(16:19):
morning routine, I get up, Ifeed the dogs, I take them for a
walk, I let my little pointer,little GSP run all over.
She runs, she wears herself outrunning and it wears me out
watching we go back to the house.
I pour myself a triple shot ofespresso.
Come on, somebody, I don't justget this energy, I work for it.

(16:45):
And I grab my Bible to read theword.
And today's daily reading is thestory of Esther and Mordecai
says Esther, you can remainsilent, but surely God puts you
on this earth for a time such asthis.
So that's why we can't besilent about our faith.

(17:09):
We read his word daily and hisword shows up every day.
And then the last behavior tothat value is we give generously
.
So when you love God, thoseshould be areas of behavior in
your life that promote thatvalue.
We pray first, we worshippassionately, we read his word

(17:29):
daily, we give generously.
So let's talk about worship fora second, because worship is not
just a newsflash, it's not justsinging a song on Sunday.
Check, check one, two, three.
Worship is a lifestyle, and youknow what Worship is love

(17:53):
expressed.
Worship is love expressed.
Look what Jesus says.
He says you shall love the LordGod.
Say this with me you shall lovethe Lord God with all your
heart.
Worship is love expressed.

(18:15):
Man, there's a Greek word, sothis is interesting to me.
The Greek word is proskuneo.
Proskuneo and proskuneo is theGreek word for praise and
worship, and it means to kiss,but it's not a passionate kiss,

(18:35):
it's not a lover's kiss.
So when you think aboutproskuneo being a kiss, as in
worship, it's not how I kiss mywife.
Thanks, lord, you don't have tothink about that.
But I just need a minute too,for one second.
You look so good today.

(18:57):
I mean just for a minute.
But proskuneo is the kind ofkiss watch this the kind of kiss
that a dog greets its ownerwith when they come home from
being gone for a while.
Now, if you're a dog person dogpeople in the house, your dogs

(19:25):
are going to heaven because,proskuneo, like, what does a dog
do?
When you come in, they're soexcited.
Oh my God, I never thought youwere coming back.
I'm so glad you're home.
Jump up in your arms.
I was with my nephew and niece,robbie and Danielle, this week
and I watched their son Silas,play football, which he crushed

(19:45):
it.
He had a touchdown, aninterception, a tackle for a
loss.
The kid was all over the field.
I think he only like he didn'tplay like on four plays the
whole game.
But he had an awesome game.
I was loving, cheering for him.
But they have a little dog.
It's a little golden doodle,like a little tiny, the cutest
little golden.
His name's Blue, because heworks for the University of
Michigan, go Blue.
And so I get there on Wednesdaynight and when I walk in the

(20:12):
door, blue is just running, justrunning.
He's running so fast, he's notstopping.
He's so excited to see me, soexcited to see his favorite
uncle running everywhere,running everywhere, running
everywhere.
And finally I go Blue, give mea hug.
And he stops and just puts hishands up like this, and I pick
him up and he gives me a hug andhe just, I don't ever.
I don't even let my dogs kissmy face, and this dog licked my

(20:41):
face like crazy.
That is listen.
When we talk about passionateworship, that's what the Greek
word is referring to.
The kind of praise and worshiplike oh, I never thought I would
get back into this place, Inever thought I would get close
to your presence again and Ijust got to pour myself out
without I'm going to recklessabandon for what you've done in

(21:05):
my life.
As opposed to a cat run togreet anybody, in fact most

(21:40):
people I know who have a cat.
I love all of you, but I didn'teven know you had a cat,
because he never comes out inpublic so they might not go to
heaven.
Go ahead and send me an emaillater, that's fine.

(22:01):
Actually, my email changed.
It's now urshana at freechurch,but that is.
That's the reference of theBible in the Greek of praise and
worship, that kind ofexpression.
Now in the book of Psalms.
I can't even preach the nexttwo passages of scripture, so we

(22:22):
got to jump ahead.
In the Psalms, over 100 timesthe word praise is used, and
then in Psalm 150, it's used 13times alone.
But even though the word praiseis used over 100 times in the
whole book of Psalms.
It's a different praise there's.
There's seven of them, and thenthe next two minutes I'm going

(22:43):
to give you all seven.
Are you ready?
The first one is Hillel, hilleland Hillel.

(23:07):
It means this to rave, to boast, to celebrate, to be
clamorously foolish.
Now I will say we can go fromGod to goofy in about three
seconds.
But there are some of us thatare so passionate on Saturday
about a group of 19-year-oldsthat have a jersey on with a
logo on their helmet and we loseour mind and we throw money at
it and we just it's everythingin our man and we cheer and we

(23:31):
scream and we drive down thestreet honking the horn and we
listen to this.
Some people go to footballgames like four hours early and
tailgate for four hours beforethe game and some of you come in
this church 30 minutes late, 30minutes late.

(24:03):
I'm just trying to pastor alittle bit.
Hallel, to rave, boast,celebrate, to be clamorously
foolish is the base and the rootof where we get hallelujah and
the Yah at the end is God.
So when we hallelujah, we'rehallel-ing God.
So when we sing that song andwe're just singing oh, I hope I

(24:28):
can hit the note Hallelujah,hallelujah, you're saying raving
.
I'm boasting about God and theblood Jesus shed for my life,
and I will get clamorouslyfoolish, even more undignified
than this David said in the bookof Samuel, chapter 6, when he's

(24:52):
bringing the ark back.
I'll be crazy if I have to,because my heart is being poured
out in thanksgiving and praise.
Psalm 35, 18 says I will givethanks in the great assembly,
among the throngs.
I will praise, I will hallel,hallel, I will hallelujah.
It is my highest praise.

(25:18):
The next one.
The next one is yada.
There's so many.
Sometimes you guys are amazedat what I do say.
It's more incredible what Idon't say.
Yada means to acknowledge inpublic knowledge, in public.

(25:42):
You see, a private faith isreally no faith at all.
But faith is meant to be yada,it's meant to be expressed.
Psalm 138.1,.
I will praise you, lord, withall my heart, before the gods,
before everything else, thatlittle g gods, all the things
that have importance of my life.
I'm going to praise you, god,in front of that first and
passionately, so everyone andeverything in my life knows

(26:02):
where I stand.
You, god, are number one in mylife and alone.
You are one, yada, I'll praiseyou in public.
The next one, barak, means tobless by kneeling or bowing, and
sometimes, in the moments ofworship and praise, it's just

(26:27):
almost overwhelming the sense ofhow I feel so undone in the
presence of God Almighty,presence of God Almighty.
And so just in awe andreverence, I go to a knee and I
just, I just acknowledge thefact that I don't.
I mean, where would I be?
David said, where would I bewithout the Lord on my side?

(26:47):
I'm going to Barak.
I will praise the name, psalm103, one praise the Lord, my
soul, with all my inmost being,praise his holy name.
I'm Barak.
I'm going to have to justacknowledge, in reverence of
kneeling and bowing before theLord, that he alone is God.
So people say, people say, oh,is your church one of those

(27:08):
churches that have contemporaryworship?
And I say no, no, it's notreally contemporary worship.
We're the church with the mosttraditional worship, because
it's the worship found inscripture.
Like we do this, because it'swhat God's word commands us to
do To lift a hallelujah, topraise in public, to bow and to

(27:35):
kneel.
Let's keep going.
The next one.
The next one is zamar.
Zamar means making music withstrings.
Oh, I wish Josh was up here tojust rip off a little guitar
solo right now.
Psalm 92 and 1.
It is good to praise the Lordand make music to your name.
We have music and instrumentsin here because it's, first of

(27:58):
all, it's biblical, it'scommanded in scripture.
But it helps us Sometimes whenJosh is riffing out a little
guitar solo.
It helps me with my thought andmy word that I can't put into
play Like, oh yeah, I would playthat in worship if that was me.
It's good to make music to theLord.

(28:23):
Psalm 150 and three says praisehim with the sounding of the
trumpet, praise him with theharp and the lyre or the new age
guitar.
Praise him with the timbrel andthe dancing.
Praise him with the strings andthe pipe.
Praise him with the timbrel andthe dancing.
Praise him with the strings andthe pipe.
Praise him with the clash ofcymbals and praise him with

(28:44):
resounding cymbals.
Listen, do you think it's loudin here sometimes?
Heaven is going to be loud.
Scripture says that there willbe a praise that will erupt in
heaven.
That will be as the noise ofthousands of waterfalls.

(29:06):
Have you ever been by a waterlike the Niagara Falls?
You can't barely think it's soloud.
There's going to be thousands,that's how loud it's going to be
in heaven.
So if you don't like noise here, why?

(29:32):
Thousand?
That's how loud it's going tobe in heaven.
So if you don't like noise here, why?
It's good to make music to theLord.
Oh, you're like well, I don'thave a musical gift in my body.
Like I have nothing youactually do.
You have 10 stringedinstruments right here.
Gift in my body?
Like I have nothing youactually do.
You have 10 stringedinstruments right here and you
can clap your hands and look at.
This gets to.
Shabbat means to address in aloud tone or to shout.

(29:52):
Look, clap your hands and shoutto God with a voice of triumph.
I wish, I wish I could tell youthat sometimes, in moments
where I don't feel very muchvictory in my life, when I
decide to shout with a voice oftriumph, I see victory aligning
in my life, but I don't feellike being loud.
Why should I be loud?

(30:15):
Because he's worth it, becausehe's worthy of a shout, he's
worthy of a praise like that.
Let's keep going.
We got two more.
That leads to todah.
Todah means to lift hands inadoration.
Pastor Matthew had us do thisthis morning To lift our hands

(30:40):
in adoration.
When we lift our hands, it's asign of desire.
I'm reaching for you.
Listen, when the kids werelittle, I don't know if there
was anything like coming homeand those little feet pattering
down the hallway and throwinghands up in the air, reaching

(31:02):
for me to pick them up and hugthem.
So it's a sign of desire, it's.
It's.
It's a sign of reaching GodLike man.
If God, I know I I'm just goingto reach my way and if God I
know I'm just gonna reach my wayfor a heaven on earth
experience.
I'm just reaching God.
And it's also a sign ofsurrender.

(31:24):
And there are moments inservices where it's like God,
I'm giving you my best, but I'mjust gonna open my arms and
surrender and receive what youhave for me today, because I
know how I've praised you tothis point.
Your presence is here to revealsomething powerful for my life.

(31:46):
And then the last one tequila.
Somebody just perked up, nottequila, tequila and this
sometimes it's just God is justtoo good to us.
Look at this Tequila'sexuberant singing Like not golf

(32:19):
course singing so no one canhear us, but like exuberant
singing A few.
It probably been about seven oreight months ago.
I started praying.
I was like Lord, I want theexpression on Sunday morning of
our church family and I couldonly frame it in one line I wish
our church family would outsing the band, and I'm gonna

(32:42):
tell you what.
Thank you, young people andyoung adults, thank you for all
of you that just lift your voiceand exuberant singing.
Look at what the scripture says, psalm 34 and 1.
I will extol the Lord at alltimes.
His praise, his tehillah willalways be on my lips.
You just notched that down asyour favorite verse.

(33:03):
His praise will always be on mylips.
Listen, it's not our idea tocome in here and be so
expressive.
It's God's idea.

(33:24):
He framed it for us because heknew the power that praise and
worship would have in our lives.
When I read through scripturepraise has brought victories,
praise has opened doors, praisehas broken off chains.

(33:44):
Like it is so powerful in ourlife for us to have a biblical
expression of praise in our life.
So the next time we sing, nextSunday, when you come, I just
encourage think about theseseven, think about these seven
Hallelujah.
I'm going to shout it out.
I'm going to express my praise,even in public.

(34:06):
I'm going to let everybody knowGod is good.
I'm going to clap my hands, I'mgoing to sing exuberantly, I'm
going to kneel and bow, I'mgoing to raise my hands.
I'm going to do something.
Maybe it's something you'venever done, but I can tell you
it's biblical and it'll changeyour life.
Can you receive that word today?

(34:28):
Let's all pray, father.
Thank you for today, a powerfulday in your presence.
Lord, you're so good to us tomeet us every single time, to
keep your promises, and that'swhy we're so, we're so dedicated
to sharing your promises,because you are a promise keeper
and you're a way maker.
And Lord, I just pray.
The expression of this churchfamily, the expression of our

(34:51):
homes, the expression of ourindividual lives, would be of
praise and thanksgiving to you,because you're so good and
you're so great and you'regreatly to be praised as you
keep your head bowed, your eyesclosed.
Maybe you've never decided ormade a decision to follow Jesus,
so it's so amazing.

(35:12):
In next service, at the startof the 11 o'clock service, we're
baptizing 16 people today whohave made a decision to follow
Jesus and then made theirdecision public.
But maybe you never made thatdecision today and then the next
minute, I'd like to give youthat opportunity.
It's just very simple.
The Bible says if you believe itin your heart, what do you

(35:35):
believe?
If you believe that JesusChrist is the son of God, that
he died on a cross for your sinsand on the third day he arose
with victory over death and thekeys to death held in the grave,
the Bible says Ephesians 1.7says like this because of the
sacrifice of the Messiah and hisblood poured out on the altar

(35:57):
of the cross, we're free people,free from the penalties and
punishments of our past, but notjust barely free.
Paul writes abundantly free.
And that freedom can be yoursif you believe Jesus paid that
price for you.
And then if you confess it withyour mouth.
And if that's you today, I justwanna lead you in this prayer.

(36:17):
So I'm gonna count to three andsee if there's anybody that
would make a decision to followJesus today.
Are you ready?
One We've prayed for thismoment all week long.
Two, three Let me see your handsall over this room.
Thank you for that hand.
Thank you for that hand.
Thank you for that hand Awesome.
Thank you for that hand.
Let's pray this prayer together.
Dear Jesus, thank you for dyingon a cross for my sins.

(36:42):
You paid a price I could notpay to give me a gift I really
could never earn.
But I choose to believe it andconfess it that you are King of
kings and Lord of lords.
I turn from my own ways tofollow after you.
Be my Lord and Savior In Jesus'name, and let the church say

(37:05):
amen, amen.
