Christ Has Set Me Free
Christ has set me free;
Glorious liberty.
Sin and sickness and death and hell
Have no longer power over me.
Christ has set me free;
Glorious liberty.
Sin and sickness and death and hell
Have no longer power over me.
Getting In!
One of the older Ministries (now deceased) told the following story many years ago....
"Long ago in the city of Chicago a woman lay dying. She had lived a long life of sin without care or thought for God. While she was young, life had gone her way, but as the years went by her friends became fewer and fewer until at last, deserted and alone, she lay dying in her dismal attic room. In her distress she sent her daughter to call for the neighborhood minister. 'Tell him,' she said, ' that I am dying and I want him to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The night was cold and the minister himself knew not the true way of salvation. On the walls of his study hung the pictures of his seminary classmates and his degrees in theology. He was reluctant to leave the comfort of his home to go out on such a cold night to such a dismal district, but because of the importunity of the girl he aroused himself and, wrapping his warm coat about him, was led to the dingy apartment where the dying woman lay. A look of pleasure wreathed her careworn face as he came in. 'I'm so glad you've come,' she said, 'for I want you to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The poor minister was baffled. He knew not what to say. For years he had taught the people to do the best they could, to join the church, and to live good respectable lives, but here was a situation he had never faced before. Seating himself on the chair beside the bed, he began to tell her how we should think kind thoughts and do kind deeds. 'Ah,' said the woman, ' but I am dying. It is too late for that now.' 'Well,' said the minister, ' you should keep the golden rule and do unto others as you would have them do to you. If we do the best we can, we will be alright.'
'But,' said the woman, ' it is too late for that. Is there nothing else you can tell me?'
The minister, in his distraction realizing how vain such words were in such a critical hour as this, ventured to quote a scripture he had learned to recite as a child. 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.' 'That's it! That's it,' she cried. 'That's what I wanted to hear. Now kneel down and pray for me.' The minister kneeled to pray, but unable to pray for the woman, he prayed for himself, and as he prayed, Christ came into his heart; and he GOT IN, and she GOT IN. It is of grace that it might be by faith that ALL who are afar off might be brought nigh to God through faith in JESUS Christ our Lord."
Marvellous grace of our loving Lord,
Freely bestowed on all who believe,
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured;
Will you this moment His grace receive?
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide;
What can avail to wash it away?
Look, there is flowing a crimson tide!
WHITER THAN SNOW YOU MAY BE TODAY.

Standing In The Presence Of The Lord
If there's any good that's done,
It is done through God the Son,
For His grace does work that sets the captive free,
But when we on self depend,
We get weary in the end,
And we learn it's God's great power that we need.
Standing in the presence of the Lord,
Standing in the presence of the Lord.
Let us sing and let us shout,
For what life is all about
Can be only found in Jesus Christ the Lord.
Many strive to justly live,
Try to love and try to give,
All depending on a power of their own,
But they find they sadly fail,
And the enemy prevails,
Till they turn to God for power from His Throne.
Standing in the presence of the Lord,
Standing in the presence of the Lord.
Let us sing and let us shout,
For what life is all about
Can be only found in Jesus Christ the Lord.
When we try to understand,
By the foolish mind of man,
All the mysteries that God has for His own,
Human minds cannot receive,
They confuse and they deceive,
But the Lord's great wisdom flows down from His Throne.
Standing in the presence of the Lord,
Standing in the presence of the Lord.
Let us sing and let us shout,
For what life is all about
Can be only found in Jesus Christ the Lord.
We can seek for earthly goals,
Or for heav'nly wealth untold,
Recognition, gold, and silver fade away.
All that's lasting in this life,
Starts and ends with Jesus Christ,
So I'll look to Christ for what I need today.
Standing in the presence of the Lord,
Standing in the presence of the Lord.
Let us sing and let us shout,
For what life is all about
Can be only found in Jesus Christ the Lord.

The Hour Of Glory
The hour of glory is upon us,
His power revealed in the saints,
The hour when the saints will come to rule and reign,
Removing all fleshly constraints.
In Him we live and move,
And have our very being.
He abides in us and we in Him.
His glory is upon us.
His glory shines out from us,
The glory of the Only Holy One.
Glory, glory, glory,
The all surpassing glory,
The all surpassing glory of the Son.
Glory, glory, glory,
The all surpassing glory,
The all surpassing glory of the Son.

There's Power For Holiness And Life In Grace
Amazing grace that sets me free,
Abounding more and more;
The Spirit ever leadeth me;
The Lord is every door.
There?s power for holiness and life in grace.
The Spirit leads with power to keep pace.
His mighty grace now lives within;
All sin it will displace.
There?s power for holiness and life in grace.
Through grace I have been born again,
By grace the Temple grows
Until the wondrous morning when
His fullness overflows.
Amazing grace that has restored
The five-fold ministry,
Foundation of Thy Body, Lord,
Which grows in unity
Each stone must now be set in place,
According to His will
So holy power, life, and grace
Will all His Temple fill.

You know my past and yet you've chosen me.
Yet, Lord, I know that it's true,
That I have a wonderful Gift in my heart from You.
Unmerited favor! Your almighty power is living and working in me.
