Almost unnecessary to begin preaching it with so
good.
But tonight it is a real joy to
be here again and take the precious Word
of God, looking in the book of Zechariah,
next to the last book in the Old
Testament, the book of Zechariah chapter 10.
One of the great joys that I'm sure
we've already been having during this conference is
the joy of seeing some of the excellent
glories and the values of the person of
our Lord Jesus Christ from the precious Word
of God.
Tonight we turn to the 10th chapter of
Zechariah to see more of the glories and
excellences of our Savior.
Chapter 10, reading verse 1 through verse 4.
God writing through His servant Zechariah, saying, Ask
ye of the Lord rain in the time
of the latter rain, so the Lord shall
make bright clouds and give them showers of
rain to every one grass in the field.
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the
diviners have seen a lie and have told
false dreams.
They comforted in vain, therefore they went their
way as a flock.
They were troubled because there was no shepherd.
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and
I punished the ghosts.
For the Lord of hosts hath visited His
flock of the house of Judah, and hath
made them His goodly horse in battle.
Out of Him, that is, out of the
house of Judah, came forth the corner, or
the cornerstone.
Out of Him, the nail.
Out of Him, the battle-bone.
Out of Him, every oppressor together, better literally
translated, out of Him the absolute ruler, or
monarch.
May the Lord bless the reading of this
portion from His Word, and may the Spirit
direct our hearts to four precious titles that
are found in the fourth verse in relation
to the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They are some of the most unique but
glorious names that have been attributed to the
person of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Someone has said, and I'm sure that it
is true, and even more so, you could
find a different name given to the Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the
Word of God, you could find a different
name that would give you one at least
for every day in the year.
And I believe some have proved that there
even are more.
But here we have in this Word of
Zechariah chapter 10 verse 4, four precious titles
that are given to Christ.
He is called the cornerstone.
He is called the nail.
He is called the battle-bone.
He is called the absolute monarch or ruler.
These are four precious titles of our Lord
and Savior.
There is a verse that is found in
the ninth psalm and the tenth verse, that
opens with these words, and they that know
thy name will put their trust in thee.
And they that know thy name will put
their trust in thee.
Every name that you will find in the
Word of God given to the Lord Jesus
has a definite meaning interpreting his character and
his person.
Those names have a definite revelation as to
who he is and also what he is.
For they convey the character of our blessed
Savior.
How multiple are the names belonging to him,
and how multiplied is the glorious character of
our Lord Jesus who has so many names.
Here are the four of them, the cornerstone,
the nail, the battle-bone, and the absolute
ruler.
They that know thy name will put their
trust in thee.
May I ask, by the way of introduction
to our message, can every one of us
here in this audience say, I know those
four names personally in my own soul.
He is my cornerstone.
He is my nail.
He is my battle-bone.
He is my absolute ruler.
Now the names we're given primarily to the
people of Israel in this great prophecy of
Zechariah.
One of the most appropriate prophecies in the
Word of God today for study is the
prophecy of Zechariah.
It has much to do with the last
times that you and I are living in
on the threshold of our Lord's return, and
in relation to the restoration of Jerusalem and
the remnant of the people of Israel when
our Savior comes to set up his earthly
kingdom.
The prophecy certainly covers the purposes of God
in relation to Jerusalem, in relation to his
people Israel, as well as in relation to
the nations of the earth.
Study the prophecy through, and it will give
you much blessing to see the purposes of
God as they are about to be fulfilled
in a very soon coming day.
But here are four precious names, given by
the prophet as belonging to the one who
was to come out of the house of
Judah, even Israel's Messiah.
He came to be the cornerstone for Israel,
and he was the foundation stone upon which
the glory and the greatness of Israel must
and will yet be built.
Israel cannot stand and never will stand unless
Christ the Messiah becomes and is acknowledged their
cornerstone.
That he came to be when he came
to the earth.
He presented his credentials, he proved his credentials,
and he came to be the foundation stone
upon which his earthly people could build for
the glory of their kingdom according to the
promises.
But unfortunately they rejected the cornerstone.
The one upon whom they would build, they
crucified.
And to this very day they have been
blinded to the person of their Messiah, as
well as to the purpose for which he
came to be their foundation stone.
But my beloved, though that be true in
relation to Israel, how precious to recognize while
Israel has been laid aside temporarily in the
purposes of God, our Lord Jesus Christ has
become the cornerstone for the church.
How precious to hear the Lord Jesus say
in Matthew 16, upon Peter's confession, thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh
and blood hath not revealed this unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say unto thee, thou art Peter,
and upon this rock, not Peter, but the
Lord Jesus himself, I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail
against them.
Christ alone is the foundation stone for the
church.
My beloved, may I suggest, he is the
foundation stone for every individual who would build
his soul and her soul for eternity.
To be in eternal blessing with Christ and
God.
Paul writing to the Corinthians said these words
in 1 Corinthians 3 11.
No other foundation can any man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus.
He is my foundation stone, upon him I
build for eternity.
With the poet I sing, my hope is
built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and
righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but
wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, on
other ground its sinking sand.
My beloved, is he your cornerstone?
Does your soul rest upon him, as the
foundation upon which you build your eternal hopes
for the glory of that heaven of which
we have sung tonight?
He alone is the foundation stone upon which
we must build.
Can you say, he's my cornerstone?
But may I point out, he is not
only the foundation stone for his people, he
is the cornerstone that holds the building of
the church together.
Paul writing to the Ephesians in chapter two,
speaks of that one body, and he speaks
of it comprising both believing Jew and Gentile,
and that Christ is the cornerstone that holds
the body together, and that binds the believing
Jew and the believing Gentile in that one
body, which is the body of Christ the
church.
He is the cornerstone that binds his people
and holds them together in that spiritual house
which he is building.
Praise the Lord.
Peter also wrote of him as being the
chief cornerstone, or the topstone of glory.
For the day is coming, even now it's
true, but the day is coming when he
shall be manifested as the topstone of glory
to the church.
And with what joy it will be, the
church will acknowledge the glory of her coming
Lord in that day when she is exalted
with him, for he is the crowning stone
of glory.
Israel rejected the cornerstone, and the prophet, the
psalmist has written, the stone which the builders
rejected has now become the headstone of the
corner.
And our blessed Lord Jesus, he is the
cornerstone, both for Israel, but especially in this
period for the church, and for every individual
who will put his and her trust in
the Saviour.
No other foundation can any man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
May I repeat the premise of Psalm 9
and verse 10, and they that know thy
name will put their trust in thee.
Have you trusted the Lord Jesus for your
foundation upon which to build for all eternity?
Oh Christ, the solid rock, can you say
I stand?
And remember what the Irishman said, all of
the rocks are shamrocks, and with what joy
we acknowledge there is but one.
He is my cornerstone.
Note the next title, so precious, the most
unique I believe in the word of God,
the name.
Now in the Old Testament, a name was
used particularly for two purposes, according to the
revelation of God's word.
Sometimes in the Hebrew it was translated by
the expression a tent peg, a tent pin,
holding down the tent.
And then it has also been used in
the Old Testament as being embedded in the
walls of the Oriental buildings long ago.
In the house of the Lord, the treasury
of the house of David, there were many
nails embedded within the walls of that building.
Upon those nails there hung the glorious shield,
and instruments of gold that Solomon collected and
had made.
And for the glory of the house of
the Lord and the house of David, they
were displayed upon those nails embedded within the
walls.
And a name was used to hang those
things upon.
Now strange that such a title should be
given to the Lord Jesus.
You find it repeated in relation to the
Lord Jesus prophetically in Isaiah chapter 25, where
the prophet writes concerning Eliakim coming, who would
be as a nail in a sure place,
and upon him would be hung the treasures
of the Father's house.
But may I point out to you the
significant way the name of the nail is
related to the Lord Jesus.
First of all, as indicated, the nail is
to bear burdens.
Upon the nail things are to be hung.
Upon the nail burdens are to be placed.
The nail is to uphold and bear whatever
is placed upon it.
May I present to you the most precious
thought regarding this title belonging to the Lord
Jesus.
When he was placed upon the cross of
Calvary, they nailed him to that tree.
But the nails that embedded his feet and
pierced his hands were incomparable to the fact
he himself was the nail that was upon
the tree of Calvary hung.
For upon him God laid what has never
been laid upon another.
What could never be laid upon another God
hath laid upon him the iniquity of us
all.
Can I quote the words of Isaiah 53
fully, verse 6?
All we like sheep have gone astray, we
have turned every one to his own way,
and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity
of us all.
It took about 1500 years to write the
Old Testament, or at least between the writing
of Moses in the Pentateuch and the completion
in the day of our Lord Jesus when
he came, approximately 1500 years.
And if two men could travel, one from
Adam, the other from Christ, and go toward
each other through history, they would meet in
the center of that Old Testament period in
Isaiah chapter 53, verse 5 and 6, where
we read, but he was wounded for our
transgressions, but he was bruised for our iniquities,
and the chastisement of our peace was upon
him, and with his Christ we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray, we
have turned every one to his own way,
and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity
of us all.
Oh may I take that precious verse and
break it down with you?
All we like sheep have gone astray.
The picture of sheep scattered in every direction,
going throughout the world in their own way,
and yet God takes and gathers together and
brings to one place the iniquities of those
wandering sheep, and he gathers their iniquities and
he lays them upon one who alone was
able to bear the iniquity of us all,
and the nail holds.
He bore our sins in his own body
on the tree.
My beloved, with what gratitude your heart and
mind should be filled, Jesus bore them all
for you and me.
Hallelujah.
What a Savior.
What a nail.
Oh my beloved, what a strange but a
unique and precious idol.
Do you know the nail?
They that know thy name will put their
trust in thee.
Oh the joy of faith.
At the cross, at the cross where I
first saw the light, and the burden of
my sin rolled away.
It was there by faith I received my
sight.
Now I'm happy all the day.
He is my nail.
He bore my sin in his own body
upon the tree.
But then he continues to be the nail.
The prophet wrote in the book of Psalms,
chapter fifty-five, verse twenty-two, these words,
cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he
shall sustain thee.
For century after century, the blessed followers of
the Lord Jesus, they have been bringing their
burdens to him.
They have carried them to the nail.
They have hung them upon him.
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he
shall sustain thee.
Peter wrote saying in first Peter five, six
and seven, humble yourselves under the mighty hand
of God, that he might exalt you in
due time.
Casting all your care upon him, for he
careth for you.
He not only has borne the burden of
my sins, he carries the burden of my
cares.
He is my nail.
How about you?
Do you place your cares upon him?
Casting all your care upon him, for he
careth for you.
Hallelujah to have such a nail.
A nail upon whom you can put everything.
Not something, everything.
What a friend we have in Jesus.
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry everything to God
in prayer.
Oh what peace we often forfeit.
Oh what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry everything to
God in prayer.
You have a burden?
My dear Christian, he's the nail for you
and me.
Cast your burden upon him.
Hang it upon the nail.
And may I remind you, when you hang
your burden there, do what the hymn writer
says, take your burden to the Lord and
leave them there.
Don't pick them up again, and carry them
away.
But then you know, Eliakim was told in
Isaiah 25, that the glory of the treasury
of the house of David should be hung
upon him.
And in the book of Ezekiel, the Lord
Jesus is prophetically told as being a nail
that would be in a sure place.
And the glory of his father's house would
be hung upon him.
He is not only the nail for my
sins.
He is not only the nail for my
cares.
He is the nail for the glory of
my life.
I should hang the glory of my life
upon him.
And all that I live for should be
for his glory.
And all my life should be showing the
honor and glory of which he is worthy,
for that to be hung on him alone.
My beloved, no honor, no blessing, no privilege
that may be yours and mine should be
kept for ourselves.
The glory is his.
Hang the glory of your life as you
live it upon him.
He's the nail.
Can you say, he is my nail?
He has borne my sins?
He bears my burden?
He bears the glory of my life.
Note the third title, most unique.
He is the battle bow.
The battle bow.
Oh my beloved, what is that commentary when
we think of Israel?
Nailing their Messiah to the tree.
Rejecting the one who came to deliver them.
Rejecting their own Messiah and Savior and Lord.
And rejecting him not only as such, but
rejecting the one who alone can be and
will be yet their deliverer in a coming
day.
He is the battle bow.
Go with me to the book of Exodus
please, will you?
Chapter 15.
May I point out these words?
And there are many contemporary scriptures that could
be followed.
But let me just mention a few.
The book of Exodus, chapter 15 please.
Following the great deliverance out of Egypt and
the destruction of the enemies of Israel as
they saw the host of Pharaoh dead upon
the seashore.
Note verse 1, 2 and 3.
As we read Exodus 15.
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel
this song unto the Lord in faith saying,
I will sing unto the Lord for he
has triumphed gloriously.
The horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song and
he is become my salvation.
He is my God and I will prepare
him an habitation.
My Father's God and I will exalt him.
And note these next words.
The Lord is a man of war.
The Lord is his name.
The Lord is a man of war.
Go with me to the second epistle or
the second book rather of Chronicles.
The second book of Chronicles chapter 20.
Note these words in the 20th chapter of
the book of Chronicles.
And the preciousness of them as God spoke
to Jehoshaphat and the children of Judah.
Will you please go with me in chapter
20 of this book.
And shall we not read as Ezekiel speaks
to the congregation.
Go down with me to verse 16.
May I say for brevity's sake.
The opening of this chapter reveals the outnumbered
hosts of the Moabites and the Ammonites coming
against Jerusalem and the children of Jerusalem and
Judea.
And Jehoshaphat seeks the Lord and seeks the
faith of the Lord in prayer and asks
for deliverance.
Now note these words that are given through
Jehaziel the son of Zechariah.
Verse 16 and 3, verse 15, 16 and
17.
He said, He said, He said, He said,
He said, He said, He said, He said
and all of the 1,111 trueicans put
round thy forehead an Ayah, The Bermuda Line
Exists and have conveyed gather all nations against
Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be
taken, the houses rifled, the women ravaged, half
of the city shall go forth into captivity,
the residue of the people shall not be
cut off from the city."
And may I emphasize, my beloved believer, this
second verse is yet to be fulfilled.
And the day is coming when all nations
will be gathered around Jerusalem, and the hatred
of the nations will be heaped upon God's
earthly people for their evident destruction.
And at such a time, they sense the
destruction of the enemy, the city is taken,
the women are ravaged, many are taken into
captivity.
Jerusalem will be the centrality of the world's
greatest battle, and the heart of it will
find the earthly people of God within it.
Now read verse three.
Then shall the Lord go forth and fight
against those nations, as when he fought in
the day of battle.
Oh my beloved, he will yet be the
battle over Israel, and in that coming day
deliver them.
And he will be the one who has
fought their battles in the past, and who
will ever be the same to them when
he delivers them in that coming day.
My beloved, may I say this?
No one ever yet has been able to
beat that blessed one in battle.
I think one of the stupendous and amazing
things that faces this godless world is that
moment when our Lord Jesus shall come from
heaven with the glory of the angels and
the thanks attending, and visit the earth with
his judgment, and deliver his earthly people, and
in that day as the prophet writes, his
feet shall stand in that day upon the
mound of almonds, as he manifests his power,
the battle bow.
Revelation 19 tells, out of his mouth goeth
a shot, two-edged sword, and what a
day it will be.
And oh the joy of knowing, here is
the mighty victor, here is the mighty conqueror,
he will be Israel's battle bow.
But may I bring to your own heart
and mind the words that Paul, as he
wrote them in Romans 8 verse 37.
That precious chapter of Romans 8, one of
the most incomparable chapters in the word of
God that delights the people of today.
And in verse 37 you have these words,
for we are more than conquerors through him
that loveth us.
They that know thy name will put their
trust in thee.
He is my battle bow, he fights my
battles, he desires to fight your battles too
my fellow believer.
And Paul said we are more than conquerors
through him that loveth us.
Henry Pickering of Scotland wrote an interesting story
many years ago in one of his writings,
telling of a man, an ordinary brother in
an assembled company of believers, who in the
prayer meeting one night read those words of
Romans 8 verse 37.
For we are more than conquerors through him
that loveth us.
He said brethren and sisters, as he commented,
what does it mean to be more than
a conqueror?
Well he said beloved we know what it
means to be a conqueror.
A person who is a conqueror is one
who wins by fighting.
But a person that is more than a
conqueror is one who wins without fighting.
Can I ask the question, do you fight
your own battles?
It's not necessary believer.
And there are many battles facing us.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principality, against powers, against the darkness
of this world, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against wicked spirits in
high or heavenly places.
But Paul said be strong in the Lord
and in the power of his might.
He's my battle bow.
What a joy to recognize.
We face the world, we face the flesh,
we face the devil.
But every fall we have a battle bow
for our gracious help.
And that person is the Lord Jesus himself.
He is my battle bow.
Oh may I say my beloved Christian, the
battles of life that you and I face,
and there are many, and sometimes we feel
outnumbered.
Won't you let him fight them?
If you know he's the battle bow, they
that know thy name will put their trust
in thee.
Lord, I have a great battle facing me.
Then say, Lord, you fight it for me.
I trust you to be my battle bow.
And may I say, he's never lost a
battle, and again and again he's proved invulnerable,
and no one could ever indeed defeat him.
A little book, written a little booklet, it
was a pamphlet, published during World War II,
and it was called The Lord Reigneth.
And he gave incidents of many conditions and
situations in World War I, as well as
World War II, where the Lord overruled the
power of the enemy.
That little booklet introduced a story, at the
commencement of it, of the San Francisco earthquake
in the early part of this century, when
the city of San Francisco was devastated by
a mighty earthquake.
There was a salesman who came to the
city following the earthquake.
He had been there many times before, but
when he saw the rubble and the ruins,
he was unable to find his way around
the city.
The familiar landmarks had disappeared.
He hired a young native boy to take
him to the places he desired to find.
And as he was walking with the land
to the places that he desired to get
to, the youngster looked at the man's face,
and he saw the horror, the amazement, written
upon his countenance, as he looked at the
destruction all around of this great city that
he had known for many years.
And as the boy looked at the man's
face, he said, Mr., take no use, is
it, for a fellow to think he can
lick God?
It isn't.
Oh, my beloved, the joy of knowing, here
is a name, it belongs to the person
who says, he is the battle-boat, and
if he is your battle-boat and mine,
then it's your responsibility and mine to put
our trust in him, and say, Lord, you're
my battle-boat.
Last of all, the last title given, the
absolute ruler, the monarch, the mighty king, for
he is the absolute king.
There is no other.
Note Zechariah 14 again, please.
I want you to note verse 9, for
brevity's sake.
The prophet writing to say, in that day
when he comes to the earth, when Israel
shall be delivered, and the Lord shall be
king over all the earth, in that day
shall there be one Lord, and his name
one.
The Lord shall be king over all the
earth.
When he descends from heaven, upon his vesture
will be written, King of kings and Lord
of lords.
And oh, the mighty king, when he comes,
he'll be the absolute monarch.
Oh, would to God he were here.
Would to God that the earth was being
ruled over by him, that mighty one, knowing
that he will be the king over all
the earth.
May I remind you of some precious psalms?
I just throw this by suggestion to you.
If you sometimes will begin reading at Psalm
42, and read down through Psalm 48, you
will find a sequel of psalms that bring
to a climax the great deliverance of Israel
in a coming day.
You will find in Psalm 42 and 43,
the very picture of Israel today, under oppression,
crying for deliverance, calling upon God, and cast
down because of their condition, as they were
once in Egypt.
If you read Psalm 44, you will find
them calling for their king, command deliverance, O
God, our king, out of Jacob.
You read Psalm 45, and you have the
lovely description of the king, as we sang
tonight, coming out of the ivory palaces, his
garments dipped in cashier, and myrrh, and so
on.
And the king is described, who is coming,
girding his thigh upon his thigh, his sword
in majesty, to deliver his people.
You'll read Psalm 46, and you'll find the
nations raging, and in tumult, and the earth
in great tumult, and the king comes, and
that city, Jerusalem, is delivered.
And he speaks peace, and he tells all
the nations, be still, and know that I
am God.
And he destroys the ungodly.
And you read Psalm 47, and you find
Israel rejoicing, and saying, he's king over all
the earth.
The Lord is king over all the earth.
And in Psalm 48, you'll find Israel inviting
all the nations to come, and see the
city of the great king.
Jerusalem elevated, as Zechariah declares in the fourteenth
chapter of his prophecy, the mountain of olives
splits in two, and Jerusalem will be a
high elevated city, in the kingdom to come,
and the majesty and glory of the king's
palace will be displayed, and the nations invited
to see the glory of the king, and
of his palace in that coming, to be
king over all the earth.
My, I wish he were here.
Who cheers for the king, huh?
Amen, hip-hip-hooray.
The joy of knowing he's going to be
the king over all this, the absolute monarch.
May I point out something to you, very
precious to me in this prophecy?
Not often noted, but I want you to
notice something.
I believe it's in Isaiah, chapter thirty-three,
if I'm, yes it is, chapter thirty-three,
and verse twenty-two.
And I want you to note something.
It rejoices and thrills my soul, when I
know what kind of a king he will
be.
Note these words.
Which is a wonderful thing, when he comes
and sets up his earthly government.
Isaiah, chapter thirty-three, verse twenty-two, for
the Lord is our judge, the Lord is
our lawgiver, the Lord is our king.
He will save us.
Now, I want you to see what we
said in Zechariah ten, four.
He will be the absolute monarch.
I'm here in this verse.
Note something.
The judicial, the judicial department of justice will
be in his control.
The Lord is our judge.
Oh, my beloved, justice is in the streets
today, lying many times, as in past times.
But when the Lord is king upon the
earth, righteous judgment will be his decree.
And the Lord, says the prophet, will be
our judge.
He will control the justice department.
You know, beloved, we have our own different
departments of government.
But the justice department in the days of
our Lord's reign will be under his authority.
And the HBI will be in control.
Heaven's Bureau of Investigation.
For the angels will be used in that
day.
For the angels will take out of the
earth everything that offends.
I'm telling you, when the heavenly hosts come
down to the earth, they're going to find
every ungodly sinner and get him out of
the place.
Where man fails in his judicial responsibility, the
law of Jesus will never fail.
And the angels will be the instruments of
justice to carry out the righteousness of his
reign in relation to judging the earth.
Hallelujah!
What a case.
But they know, not only the judicial department,
but the legislative department of the government will
be in its control.
The Lord is our lawgiver.
No Democrats, no Republicans, know nothing of politics.
The Lord is our lawgiver.
And you have only to read Matthew 5,
6, and 7, and you've got the constitution
of his law.
The constitution of his kingdom.
And you can't plead the Fifth Amendment either
in that day.
For he says in that great section, I
say unto you, I say unto you, I
say unto you, I say unto you, his
authority is final, but it will be righteous.
And then the prophet said, not only the
judicial department, not only the legislative branch of
the government, but even the executive branch.
The Lord is our king.
King of kings.
Lord of lords.
Reigning over the earth in that day.
Hallelujah!
What a king!
But oh my beloved, listen.
You and I do not need to wait
for that day.
Can I quote the poet who has wrote
that lovely hymn?
King of my life, I crown thee now,
thine shall the glory be, and all the
precious joy that they that know thy name
will put their trust in thee, and they
will say he's my king.
The absolute ruler of my life, the absolute
monarch over all that I am and all
that I have.
For in that coming day, the Lord will
be king over all the earth.
But in this day, they that know thy
name will put their trust in thee, and
they will say he's my king.
Four precious titles.
My cornerstone, my name, my battle bow, my
absolute ruler and king.
Isn't he great?
And as we sang tonight, isn't he wonderful?
And the joy of knowing these names carry
with their meaning the greatness of his character
for our blessing and for our benediction.
Holy we pray that everyone can say, thank
God he's my cornerstone, he's my nail, he's
my battle bow, he's my absolute king.
Oh brother and sister, let's say it to
him.
And you who may not be saved, bless
your heart.
Why don't you trust him now, shall we
pray?
Father we thank thee for the glories of
our Lord Jesus.
What greatness there is implied in every name
belonging to him.
And these four precious titles, how blessed they
are.
May each soul in thy presence vowed be
able to say right now, thank you Lord,
you're my nail, you're my cornerstone, you're my
nail, you're my battle bow, and you're my
king.
And if there's anyone who cannot, Lord, open
their mouth and heart to say tonight, Lord
Jesus I trust thee as my cornerstone now,
I'll trust thee now as my nail, I'll
trust thee now as my battle bow, I
trust thee now and forever to be my
king.
For we ask it giving thanks in thy
precious and worthy name, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
