Five hundred and sixty-six please.
He is a lovely little man.
Amid the trials that I meet, amid the
thorns that pierce my feet, one thought remains
supremely sweet, Thou faintest Lord of me.
Five hundred and sixty-six please.
He is a lovely little man.
Amid the trials that I meet, amid the
thorns that pierce my feet, one thought remains
supremely sweet, Lord,
be my dear friend for a year.
Thou faintest Lord of me.
There is a voice from the heavens, a
voice from the heavens from the ground, and
it reminds my heart of her.
Lord, be my dear friend for a year.
Thou faintest Lord of me.
There's a road that I must go, there's
a road that I must go, I am
the path for which I go.
Lord, be my dear friend for a year.
Thou faintest Lord of me.
All right.
You can see your notes tonight.
You know, for the past, I think it's
ten weeks that's passed because we did one
or two weeks on the body.
And for ten weeks past, we've been looking
at the Bible analysis of man.
We've looked at man's memory, and man's understanding,
and man's imagination.
And we took two or three weeks looking
at man's body.
We looked at man's mortal body.
And then we looked up at Saju's body.
And then we looked up at Saju's glorious
body.
The body that rose again from the dead.
And we had about three weeks then.
Now we're going to look at man's soul
this evening.
And before we get into the exposition of
truth on this, I want to look at
some of the arguments that they raise themselves
against this great doctrine of man's soul.
You know, there are ethics and rights, and
they array themselves against this.
The Israelites say there's no such thing as
soul.
And the Millennial Godless, which is the same
thing of course.
No such thing as soul.
It's just what you see.
No more.
Now I know that we use the sociology
day after day that sort of helps them
in their arguments.
I want you to get the hold of
that.
You see when the ship is sinking at
sea, there is an SOS sent out across
the world by radio.
And the SOS means save our souls.
And I assure you when the captain is
sending it out he's not thinking about souls
at all.
He's just thinking about bodies.
And you see it's the sort of phraseology
we all use.
I was talking to a lady this morning
and we were both on our best behavior
and she was saying, do you know Mrs.
So-and-So?
And I said, yes.
She said, isn't she a lovely soul?
And sometimes we use this, you see, but
we're using it for the fashion.
She's not thinking about her soul at all.
And we say, So-and-So, he's a
nicely soul.
And we say, he's a good soul.
And we use this phraseology all the time
and we're talking about persons.
Yes, I want you to get the hold
of that.
Now I want you to get this into
your mind that the Bible also uses this
sort of phraseology.
And the Bible uses the word soul when
it means person.
Believing that you would understand what it's about.
I assure you.
Let's go to Acts chapter 2 for the
moment.
And Acts chapter 2, it's the day of
Pentecost, isn't it?
And Peter features.
And what a wonderful creature he was.
And he was filled this day with the
Holy Ghost.
And you know, it says here, verse 40,
coming to the end of the sermon, and
with many other words did he testify and
exhort, saying, Feed yourselves from this untold generation.
Verse 41 says, Then they that gladly received
his words were baptized.
And I think you can see the facts
again.
I don't want to get on the baptism
again.
They can't help it this year, isn't it?
You don't want me to pass it, do
you?
Then they that gladly received his words were
baptized.
They were believers.
They had received the message.
And the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls.
You don't think they were just souls either,
do you?
I'll tell you, we are talking about real
people.
People with names and people with ages.
People of different sizes.
There were three thousand new members enter the
church that day.
And the word for the Jews.
Jews did not such.
And it's used a hundred times right through
the Old and New Testaments like that.
Have a look at First Peter so you
can see it again.
First Peter, and we're not in the third
chapter.
First Peter, chapter three.
And the way down the chapter there.
Verse eighteen, to get the proper connection.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins
the just.
For beyond just that he might bring us
to God.
Being put to death in the flesh.
But quickened by the Spirit.
Capital S.
By which also he went.
It was by the Spirit he went and
preached.
Unto the spirits in prison.
Which sometime were disobedient.
When once the long suffering of God waited
in the days of Noah.
In case you're puzzled about this.
The Lord went by the Spirit.
When the long suffering of God was waiting
in the days of Noah and preached.
Don't think that they went to hell and
picked off a select few.
Oh I shall have to ask you why.
Which sometime were disobedient amongst the long suffering
of God waited in the days of Noah.
And that's when it was done.
When the ark was a-preparing.
That in few, that is, eight souls were
saved.
Those souls were there.
See the word being used, don't you?
There were eight persons in there.
Yes and you see some of the boys
who argue just turn these sorts of things
up and they say.
They say the soul that sinneth shall surely
die.
And it's the same thing again.
It's the man that sinneth.
And this is used for persons.
And it's used a hundred times.
Oh you can multiply this right through.
Look let me do it again for you.
Have a look at Genesis 14 and we'll
have to get on with the job then.
Genesis 14.
And you remember Abraham went to war in
this chapter.
And this is the first time we have
the word war in this Bible of ours.
And we don't want to follow that through.
But when Abraham was returning from this war.
And he had won the day because God
helped him greatly.
Verse 17.
We're at Genesis 14 verse 17.
And the king of Sodom went out to
meet him after his return from the slaughter
of Chedor Lamar.
And of the kings that were with him
at the valley of Shaddai, which is the
king's dale.
And Melchizedek, king of Shalom, brought forth bread
and wine.
And he was the priest of the Most
High God.
And he blessed him and said, Blessed be
Abram of the Most High God, possessor of
heaven and earth.
And blessed be the Most High God which
hath delivered thy enemies into thy hand.
And he, that is Abraham, gave him tithe
of all.
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram,
Give me the persons and take the goods
to thyself.
Now do you see all the verses that
I've looked up just up to this moment.
In Acts 2 and over at Peter and
a hundred more.
It was the word souls.
Well the same Hebrew word is translated here,
persons.
Actually one of the old translations says, give
me the souls.
Sometimes that sort of language is used.
Now just because that sort of language is
used, I don't think you can build a
doctrine on that and say, well there's no
such thing as souls.
They're only persons, it's only man.
I don't think you can do that.
And I think this is the most dangerous
thing in the world to do.
Is to take something out of this book
and try to build a doctrine on it
without taking all the rest into consideration.
I was preaching at Coleraine University all some
years ago.
And I preached on the power of prayer.
And afterwards, one of the doctors there said
to me, I don't like this too much.
Well I said, I don't mind whether you
like it or not, but I believe what
I said.
He said, do you believe in predestination?
I said, of course I do.
He said, were you previous time?
I said, yes.
And what does that really mean?
I said that before the hills and all
the studor earth was filled with spring, God
who foreknew everything could look down the ages
and see me, and I was predestined to
be conformed to the image of God's Son.
He said, this is sovereign choices.
I said, yes.
I was chosen in Christ before the foundation
of the world.
This is election, is it?
Yes.
He said, you see this is what I
believe.
And I believe if God looked down, and
he pleased his time, and he elected, and
you were chosen, then I don't think we
need preaching, and I don't think we need
prayer.
You can work out the way God doesn't
work out.
Oh, don't eat me all right.
I said, no.
Where did you learn this?
Where did you learn about this, Frida?
I learned it in the book.
And in the book you didn't learn anything
about prayer?
Nothing at all.
You didn't hear the Lord Jesus saying, may
not all wish to pray, not to faint.
You never heard that?
You didn't hear Paul saying, you should pray
without fainting?
Oh, what jokes we have.
Now, don't start then this joke of taking
apart a leg and the rest out.
It won't do.
Now I know, I know already, that this
word soul is through this book, and it's
used the way we use it every day.
When we say he's a good soul, or
a nice soul, or she's a very sweet
soul.
Yes, it's for the person.
I know all about that.
Ah, but there's more in this book about
that.
And so then, I have to prove the
reality.
Let's have a look at that, the reality
of the soul.
Let's go over here, and find this.
Let's have a look at Matthew's Gospel, chapter
10.
Matthew's Gospel, chapter 10.
And our Lord Jesus here, in this tenth
chapter, if you were to follow it, he's
sending out his disciples, two by two, you
know, and they're going out to preach, and
he's warning them, they're going to come up
against some stiff opposition, and he's telling them
what not to fear.
See verse 28, he said this to them,
And fear not them which kill the body,
but are not able to kill the soul.
You just answer the questions now, that's all.
Is our Lord Jesus differentiating between body and
soul here?
That's it, just answer the question, that's all.
So he believed that the body and soul
were different.
He believed that there were men who would
be able to kill the body.
All that the devil murderers in our land
could do to me tonight would be to
kill the body.
Ha ha, they cannot kill the soul.
I would think that that proves there's a
difference.
We might use the word loosely, oh but
our Lord Jesus is correcting things and will
need to take the whole Bible with us
one day.
Look up the book of Revelation, and John
is seeing things in heaven, and seeing things
on earth at the same time.
It was a mighty revelation, when it's up
to six.
And the chapter begins, And I saw when
the Lamb opened one of the fields.
And he's talking about this book that was
in heaven, that had the seven fields.
And the Lamb that stood before the throne
saw he's seeing things in heaven.
But you see as he opened this book
in heaven, certain things took place on earth.
You see, it says the way down in
the chapter there, verse nine, And then he
hath opened the sixth field.
I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of
God.
I want you to get the hold of
this.
The bodies were slain.
It's the enemy, was able to kill the
body.
They died on earth, men were taken as
stand before the Antichrist and his forces.
Oh, but he was determined to block those
people out.
And the bodies were slain.
Maybe the bodies were beheaded and you can
see the body and the head lying.
Oh, but the souls are under the altar
in heaven.
And there is no soul sleep about it.
These souls are talking.
You see, he says, verse nine, And when
he had opened the fifth field, I saw
under the altar the souls of them that
were slain by the word of God, and
for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying,
How long, O Lord, holy and true!
Dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth?
White robes were given unto every one of
them, and it was said unto them that
they should rest.
Yet for a little season, until their fellow
servants also, and their brethren that should be
killed, of very well shall be fulfilled.
And they're not killing people in heaven.
Oh no, they were being killed on earth,
but the souls were under the altar in
heaven.
Oh, I think you can see the difference,
can't you?
I would have thought you could have seen
that.
Have a look at 2 Corinthians, and we're
at chapter 12.
And what a mighty chapter it is, and
what might he saying for here.
Yes, Paul is writing to the Corinthians.
Verse one, It is not expedient for me,
doubtless to glory, I will come to visions
and revelations of the law.
I knew a man in Christ about fourteen
years ago.
Whether in the body, I cannot tell.
Or whether out of the body, I cannot
tell.
So you can see the difference between in
the body and out of the body.
But we'll come to it.
God knows such a man caught up to
the third heaven.
And in case you would question what he
said, he said it over again.
I knew such a man, whether in the
body or out of the body, I cannot
tell God knows how he was caught up
into paradise.
Now when he says, I knew a man
in Christ about fourteen years ago.
If we can depend on the dates given
us in the Bible and the chapters, on
the chronological dates, if you measure back fourteen
years here, you'll go right back to the
day when Paul was at Lystra.
And you know, by preaching and gathering the
clubs to listen to the gospel, the Jews
were annoyed.
And they dragged him out of the city.
Stormed him.
And left him for dead.
Oh, they thought he was dead.
I believe that was the day that the
Lord took him out of the body.
Did you hear that?
Because God took him up to have a
look round heaven.
And I can tell you if some of
the boys I know had had an experience
like this, they would have to put about
ten more pages in the telegraph this Saturday
night.
Because they would have such wonderful things to
say.
Oh, but Paul kept quiet about it.
Nightly experience.
You see, this will tell us this.
That the real man can move out of
the body.
You see, when Paul is talking about the
death of a believer, he says for a
believer to die it is absence from the
body presence of the Lord.
Oh, I would wonder how you couldn't get
this thing right.
There's a vast difference between body and soul.
Yes, I think you can see the reality
this year.
And I think you can see the trinality
this year.
I don't need to go into all this
again.
Because men cannot kill the soul.
Oh, we'll meet enemies on earth and some
of the best men that ever walked in
shoe leather were burned at the stake.
Yes, men killed the body.
But they cannot kill the soul.
Yes.
And John saw these souls after the body
was slain.
I want to touch on this personality of
the soul.
You know, I think we'll hold on to
where we are here just for the moment.
Whether in the body or out of the
body I cannot tell.
You see, I would like to take this
to you just to comfort you because of
loved ones that you have lost recently.
And you know, you stood by while I
came into the room the day of the
funeral and stood by the coffin there and
your loved one was lying still.
The body was dead.
And you had tears in your eyes and
great sorrow in your soul because because the
loved one had gone.
Yes, he had departed.
That's the right word.
Yes, he's out of the body.
Now, if he was a believer let's get
this bit.
He was absent from the body get it
now, present with the Lord.
Oh, I could never expound that what it
means to be present with the Lord to
see Jesus to look on his wonderful face.
Face is gone and now it's all by
sight present with the Lord.
I want you to get this that our
loved ones who have left the body and
are present with the Lord they don't know
whether they're in the body or out of
it out there just now.
Of course, I was there all night I
was caught up in it.
Whether I was in the body or out
of the body I don't know.
That's what Mikey said.
I guess we're walking about heaven.
Yes.
I'll tell you this is something we want
to get into our minds and not talk
a ghost, you know.
No, they're fitted out for the place they
are just now until the resurrection of this
body because it will be raised.
I want you to get that, you know.
Let's go to 1 Kings chapter 17, 1st
book of Kings and we're at chapter 17
I think I must do this bit.
You know this is the story of Elijah
and you remember that he walked into the
palace of King Ahab one day and told
them there would be no more rain but
according to my words big thing to say,
you see it stayed the heavens by breath
and for three long years and six months
there was no rain and that certainly gave
them a headache in the land of Palestine
and of course God hid them down at
the Brook Terrace for quite a while and
then God told them to go to Saripha
see verse 9 1 Kings 17 God's talking
to Elijah said, Arise, get thee to Saripha
which belongeth to Sidon way over on the
coast there just near to where the battle
was the other day Tyre and Sidon, you
know and dwell there behold I have commanded
a widow woman there to sustain me went
away along to live with this widow woman
for a while and you know the story
of the handful of meal in the bowl
and you know it just never went on
and then of course it came to pass
verse 17 it came to pass after these
things that the son of the woman, the
mistress of the house fell sick and the
sickness was so sore that there was no
breath left in him and she said unto
Elijah what have I to do with thee,
O man of God art thou come unto
me to call my sin to remembrance and
to slay my son and you know we
are always apt to get things wrong and
we blame God and we blame the servants
of God it wasn't anything like that at
all and he said unto her give me
thy son he took him out of her
bosom and carried him up into a loft
where the abode and laid him upon his
own bed and he cried unto the Lord
and said O Lord my God hast thou
brought evil upon the widow with whom I
sojourned by slaying her son and sometimes the
servants of God get it wrong too so
you have to be very careful because you
can be wrong and he stretched himself upon
the child three times and cried unto the
Lord and said O Lord my God our
gravy let this child's soul come into him
again and you are bound to see the
difference between body and soul here because the
body is empty and he is dead let
this child's soul or was the personality about
soul you know was this child's soul you
know when our Lord Jesus is rebuking the
world he says you know it's possible to
gain the whole world what will it profit
a man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own, his own soul ah
yes there is a personality about it let's
get that bit settled and there is a
capability about the soul let's look at Luke's
gospel chapter 1 I think this is one
of the nicest things in the scriptures of
course Luke's gospel chapter 1 and the angel
came to the blessed virgin Mary here and
announced to her that she was to be
the mother of the Messiah and she agreed
to this look how lovely she said this
verse 38 Mary said behold the hands made
of the Lord be it unto me according
to thy words the angel departed from her
she is going to be the mother of
the Messiah no matter what people think and
Mary arose in those days and went into
the hill country with haste into the city
of Judah and entered into the house of
Zechariah and saluted Elizabeth and it came to
pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of
Mary the bead leaked in her womb that
was Elizabeth's babe John the Baptist and Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy Ghost and she
spake out with a loud voice and said
blessed art thou among women and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb and whence is
this to me that the mother of my
Lord should come to me she had no
doubts at all about it for as soon
as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
my ears the bead leaked in my womb
for joy oh we are not able to
follow this of course but this is truth
you know that John the Baptist yet unborn
leaked for joy of the salutation can't understand
it but I believe it now we come
to Mary and Mary said my soul does
magnify the Lord wants you to get the
hold of that now because you see we
don't only want to get the reality of
the soul and the eternality of the soul
and the personality of the soul but we
are at the capability of the soul now
and you know the soul can magnify the
Lord of course we know that the soul
can long yes David talks about the Lord
satisfying the longing soul and Solomon talks about
God will make shut the liberal soul and
you remember that God vexed his righteous soul
from day to day because the soul is
capable of love and hate and joy and
so on and you can see the capabilities
can't you you see maybe one is a
little bit further here and this is where
I like it verse 46 Mary said my
soul does magnify the Lord and my spirit
and she differentiates between soul and spirit and
my spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour and
if you take the Blessed Virgin Mary at
that point God has got her body and
God has got her soul and God has
got her spirit Oh God let's make any
mistakes about this blessed woman I'd be annoyed
when all supper and wear her head say
things about her and I don't think we
should stand for it at all and I
don't know how the ecumenalists are going to
get together because some of them they say
so many terrible things oh the wearer head
said that Zacharias got this young girl and
shut her up in the temple and kept
her there until he made her pregnant and
that's where the baby came from that's blasphemy
how are they going to get united with
this crowd oh let's give her her place
put me down in her place yes she's
the blessed virgin Mary and make no mistakes
about that and God had her body she
gave him her body people are going to
misunderstand her Joseph's going to have a hard
time with this when she says I'm going
to have a baby but I didn't know
a man sexually he's going to have a
bitter battle with us and to this day
these black arts malign her I don't think
we are putting up with that you wouldn't
like me to associate with that not for
a moment not for a single moment if
the virgin Mary was a bad woman and
played with some man in the dark and
got pregnant then the child is a bastard
make no mistakes about the words it's in
your dictionary oh my friend if she's a
bad woman and had a baby to a
bad man then the child is a sinner
a child born from a sinful father by
a sinful mother must be a sinner and
that sinner can't be my savior and the
whole cross troubles before you I wonder we
put up with them at all my god
what do we really need we would need
to hunt them I mean that verily yes
can you see this and you know the
possibility man can lose his own soul you
know oh you can climb to the top
of the football world and then lose your
own soul you know and you can climb
to the top of the financial world lose
your own soul the man arrested tonight across
the water who has millions you have to
be careful now he could lose his own
soul yet dear friend you've got something that
belongs to you your own soul in it's
innocence talk to a woman on Sunday on
the very edge of eternity on a nice
plenty and she said to me fill her
with blood doctor sitting behind me holding a
cross wasted my life wasted it on the
dance floor wasted it in the pub we're
going to waste the rest of us in
hell the doctor says you don't mention words
like this it's meant for you to you
know any better than that you'll go to
hell and be lost and damned yes, wake
up a little bit you can lose your
own soul you know go to hell and
be lost yes I want you to get
this oh I must do this let's have
a look at this picture of the day
Hebrews chapter 6 Hebrews 6 this is a
passage you should get into your mind and
never forget I think you'll be thrilled with
this when you get the hold of it
verse 13 Hebrews chapter 6 verse 13 Oh
when God made promise to Abraham because he
could swear by no greater he swore by
himself you know that was a big thing
wasn't it you know you think that the
promise of God would be thought of and
that's if God promised you something oh God
didn't only promise him when God made the
promise he swore by himself see if I
have to go to court and I have
to take an oath and I know the
law allows me to do without doing it
I can either do it or not do
it but I will do it and I
will say I swear by almighty God that
the evidence I shall give to this court
shall be the truth the whole truth and
nothing but the truth and I'm on oath
now and you see it doesn't really matter
these days because there are boys just say
this goodly and it doesn't mean a thing
to them and the evidence they give doesn't
mean a thing either because half of it
lies oh but when God made promise and
when God took an oath oh it's got
a double something hasn't it and so God
made promise and then God swore by himself
saying surely blessing I will bless thee and
multiplying I will multiply thee and so after
he Abraham had waited had patiently endured he
had seen the promise when God promises you
can depend he will fulfil it sooner or
later when it pleases him for men verily
swear by the greater we always if we're
taken an oath we swear by the greater
I swear by God and an oath for
confirmation the oath should confirm the thing and
that brings an end of all strife at
least it used to do maybe not now
wherein God willing more abundantly does so want
in the years of promise the immutability of
his counsel confirmed it by an oath that
by two immutable things you see when God
speaks and promises for he's not like a
sorrow standing in the witness box you know
it's impossible for him to lie and that
should be quite enough but there are two
immutable things here it's impossible for him to
break his own oath isn't it so this
is a pretty steadfast foundation the God that
cannot lie and the God who cannot break
his oath so Abraham was pretty secure with
his promise wherein God willing more abundantly does
so want in the years of promise the
immutability of his counsel confirmed it by an
oath that by two immutable things in which
it was impossible for God to lie now
the whole thing switches from Abraham to us
now because God makes promises to us we
might have a strong consolation who have fled
for refuge do you remember fleeing for refuge
oh I remember when I was a drunkard
and when I was down and out and
when nobody had any hope for me I
heard the gospel that God loved a thing
like me and sent his son and Christ
died and rose again and if I would
come to him I would get everlasting life
and I would get pardon and peace and
I fled for refuge remember the day yes
that we might have a strong consolation who
have fled for refuge to lay hold upon
the hope set before us because God's word
and God's oath gives us a greater which
hope we have of an anchor of the
soul this is the bitter last this soul
of mine's got an anchor this for me
isn't it most sure and steadfast which entereth
into that within the veil oh this anchor
of my soul is within the veil tonight
where the forerunner is for us entered even
Jesus this word forerunner is a great one
because this is an old gnocchi culture belongs
to the sea and sea-faring men you
know if you sometimes look at the map
and you see the Aegean Sea there you
will find that it goes right up there
and you will find Asia Minor on this
side and you will find that Philippi and
Perthelonia and all the rest are on the
other side but you will find that these
little harbors that were there in those days
they had a very narrow little entrance into
the harbor you know that the harbor is
a sort of square wall in there and
there's deep water and then there's just a
little narrow entrance from the sea and it's
very difficult to find in the fog Portobogli
harbor was like this once upon a time
when I used to go fishing with the
Portobogli fishermen and if you were coming in
in a dense fog you couldn't see the
lights of Portobogli and you couldn't see anything
but the old fellow that I sailed with
was called Tommy Orr Captain Tommy Orr and
there's a rock lying out off Portobogli it
may be about 3 miles up I don't
know, it may be 5 it's called the
Bear Rock there's a bell on it you
Portobogli foot know this and the old fisherman
coming up from there you see many a
time I was in the bridge with him
and he always dropped the boat to the
Bear Rock just that he could almost just
know the rock was there and he could
hear the bell now he would slow the
engine down to a certain speed now he
would set the compass at a certain angle
now he would time the watch and he
knew from the speed of the boat from
the run of the tide he knew that
he would be at the little narrow entrance
in about 35 minutes he used to say
to me now just watch the watch he
had her going the right road he knew
about that he had her going at the
right speed and you know I would never
see the walls of the harbour coming but
he would say to me go over to
the side now and if I'd hit the
side of the boat the wall would pass
me there the little narrow entrance and he
was a masterpiece at this all the men
said well nobody could do this the great
Tommy Orr could do it now in the
old harbour down in the deep waters there
the little narrow entrance had another problem you
see the sand gathered in there the tides
brought up sand and then when the tide
was out when the boat was coming at
low tide it couldn't get over that sand
barrier it had to lie out for maybe
so many hours till the tide came back
again oh but this is what they did
they left the ship out here they put
a little flat bottom boat down there and
they put the anchor of the ship in
the boat and the man in the boat
is called the forerunner and he takes this
flat boat in on in and this flat
bottom boat goes over this sand barrier and
he goes right into the harbour within the
hole if you like and he drops the
anchor in there then they tell the sleeping
tonight that the anchor of my soul is
within the veil the forerunner is in and
he has taken it in with him don't
you talk to me about being lost again
you don't even know nothing about this the
anchor of my soul is already there within
the veil I'll tell you what you'll have
to do to get me lost again you'll
have to storm heaven and take him from
the throne and bring him and anchor and
all out before I'll be lost and you'll
not be able to do it nor the
devil nor his angels either oh my soul
secure tonight he got the hold of this
I know it's been rushed but I can't
help it next week we are going to
look up the spirit of man because the
body is one thing and the soul is
another and the spirit is yet another if
you mean to be baptised on Thursday just
to obey the word of the Lord and
you need to see me tonight and just
tell me you're saved and you want to
come and be baptised we're not looking for
your nomination for the meeting or anything like
that just if you want to obey the
Lord now we have wasted the time she's
ready for God have you the shoes on
or not?
I never knew you had to take your
shoes off to play the organ I never
knew that before I thought you had to
be sure that your left hand didn't know
what your right hand was doing that was
all I said oh we'll not sing any
more bless you she's just a schoolgirl learning
and we're proud of her and we want
her to be a bereave of this place
let's pray together Lord we thank you for
this book and for the truths that are
in this book we thank you for the
day when each one of us fled for
refuge we thank thee that the anchor of
our soul is within the veil tonight we're
only lying outside the harbour here waiting till
the high tide comes and you'll take us
in Lord we are sure of heaven as
if we were there part us in thy
fear and with thy blessing for thy name's
sake Amen Amen
