"What Part Does Giving Thanks Play in our Relationship with God?" By Brother Parrish Lee November 2nd,
2014
Giving
honor to God, Who is the head of my life.
Giving honor to the omnipotent, omniscient,
Almighty, the Longsuffering,
the Patient, the Kind, the Merciful, the Gracious, the Benevolent, the
Wonderful, the Miraculous… Giving thanks to He who the angels give
reverence to. Giving
thanks to Him who puts the stars in
place and says that they are not clean in His sight.
Giving thanks to the Great One, who saw fit
to give His only begotten Son four us; giving thanks to Him who went to
Calvary’s mountain, spread His arms wide, and saw every one of us. Giving thanks and honor to
Him. Giving thanks
and honor to His servants who
were working and leading in this ministry; to our founding pastor, he
and his
family, our pastor, he and his family, to all those who stood in the
gap to
make up the hedge, who answered the call to be faithful where God would
have
them. Giving thanks
to them. Giving
thanks to all of you, who say, “You
know what? I want
to come before the
Lord; I want to worship. I
want to bring
what I have.” Some
say, “I want to come
because I have a petition to lay before the Lord.”
Some say, “I want to come because I’ve just
got to give my heart soul, strength to Him.”
Giving honor to all of y’all.
Happy
Sunday morning. Having
just come through
a Time of Sanctification, and our prayer is that it was a blessing for
everyone. I want to
thank my accountability team that
helped me so much, even after things happened, and I wasn’t as faithful
as I
hoped to be, I learned so much from every one of you.
Now we’re going into the month of November,
where our theme for the month is going to be from Second Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 2:14
Now
thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,
and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Giving
thanks unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ. We’re going to take off
this month, and, as
we know, this is the month of thankfulness, so we’re going to be
talking about
that this month. Our
scripture for
today: Luke 17:13-19 And
they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he
said unto them, Go shew
yourselves unto the priests. And
it came to pass, that, as they
went, they were cleansed. And
one of
them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud
voice
glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him
thanks: and he
was a Samaritan. And
Jesus answering
said, Were there not ten
cleansed? but where are the
nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this
stranger. And
he said unto him, Arise, go thy
way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
If
we could just bow our heads for just a moment.
Lord, we do come before You, and we are continually
flat-out amazed at
Your goodness, and kindness, and mercy.
The
way that You are able to visit, the way You are able to answer, the way
You are
able to make us know, make Your presence known unto us, and You treat
us as
Your children. We
thank You and praise
You for that, Lord, and we turn unto Yu to give You glory and honor,
and ask,
God, ask that, at this time of our worship, at this time of the
service, as we
go over the reading of Your Word, that, God, You would do as it said in
Your
Word, that You would not allow it to return unto you void, but that it
would
surely accomplish that to which You sent it.
Lord, we just want to continue to be Your servants. Great as You would call us
to be; humble as
You would call us to be, obedient as You would call us to be, anointed
as You
would call us to be, and blessed as You would call us to be. This we do come and pray
and claim in Jesus’
name, and everybody said, amen.
Well,
happy November, everyone. Happy
November, and I know we have different thoughts and things in our minds
that we
might look forward to, and the truth is, that, as we look forward to
this,
November brings up certain things in our minds.
For some of us, we’re looking forward to the end of
the month, when we
have that great big old turkey, and maybe some sweet potatoes, and
maybe some
dressing, and maybe some mac and cheese—the four-cheese type—maybe some
cornbread, and, yeah, some of us is looking forward to that. Some of us are looking
forward to, “Hey! I
get two days off of work!” Two
days off of work, or school, or
whatever… “I get
two days off!” Some
of us are looking forward to that, amen.
November doesn’t get the notoriety that some
of the other months get, because it doesn’t bring in the money that
some of the
other holidays have going on around them.
If it was all about the money, they could say,
“Well, that’s not
November; November’s not a month for money.
We could talk about harvest, but there’s not a whole
lot of money in
that. We could talk
about certain
things…” So, you
don’t see so many
commercials advertising… And,
if you’re
like me, you’ve already seen commercials for Christmas.
Christmas!
Already seen the commercials; the holidays… Black Friday, yeah! Nothing to do with
Thanksgiving, it’s the day
after Thanksgiving—they don’t even mention Thanksgiving! “It’s Black Friday; bring
your money and
spend it so we can take it and be happy and get in the black.” Yeah, your money, your
money, your money, your
money… But,
Thanksgiving, this month of
thanks, it’s supposed to be a month of reflection.
It’s supposed to be a time of saying, “You
know, I’m thankful for some things, so I came to give thanks for those
things.” So, here,
it leads us to the question, “What
part does giving thanks play in our relationship with God?”
As
we read from the Book of Luke, we see here—and you’re familiar with the
story—we see here the story of the ten lepers, how the ten of them
cried out
unto the Lord, “Master, have mercy on us!” and the Lord says, “Go, and
show
yourselves unto the priests.” As
they
were on their way, the Bible says, that they found themselves healed. The Bible says that one of
them, when he saw
that he had been healed, he returned to give thanks and praise unto God
The Bible goes
on to say that the Lord asked a
question, “Where then are the nine?
Were
not ten cleansed? Where
are the nine?” The
Bible goes on to say that, “They are not
found to give glory to God, save this stranger.”
“They are not found to give glory to
God…” Now, when you
say something isn’t
found, it gives the position that it was lost, or something that was
looked for. Something
that was looked for, so you would
have to ask, “Well, what was being looked for, here?”
Quite simply, the Lord said, “they are not
found to give glory to God.” So,
the
Lord was looking for those to give glory, give thanks unto Him. So, we see that, after the
blessing, giving thanks
is the next step before going on and building a relationship. After we receive the
blessing, giving thanks,
glorifying God is the very next step in building our relationship with
God. We see that
only one returned to give thanks.
Now,
another two points is: 1) The fact that he returned. He returned.
He didn’t just keep going.
Thank
God. He
returned—this is wonderful that
way the scripture says it, in verse fifteen, it says:
“And one of them, when he saw that he was
healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down
on his
face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.” So, number one, he
returned to who? He
returned to the Lord. He
made sure it wasn’t just a casual thing.
“I need to make sure that God knows I am
thankful.” Number
two was how he came to
God. That he turned
to God and said thank
you… Number two is
how he thanked Him. We’re
going to hold that point for just a bit.
We’re going to go on a little bit, and come
back and address that.
Now,
we’re going to go to another Scripture, to the Book of Ezra, chapter 3,
verse
11: Ezra 3:11-13
And
they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the
LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted
with a great
shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house
of the
LORD was laid. But
many of the priests
and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had
seen the
first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their
eyes, wept
with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people
could not
discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of
the
people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was
heard afar
off.
So,
here it says that they sang praises and gave thanks unto God. Why?
Why did they do that?
The Scripture
says, for He was good to them, and they knew that His mercy endured
forever. So, they
gave thanks and praise to God for,
to them, He was good and His mercy endured forever.
So, that leads to the question, of course—it
always has to lead to something; it’s not just something that sits
there,
stationary, it sits on the shelf, button it up, close it, I won’t have
to use
it, but it’s a really nice decoration back there—it begs the question,
to make
us say for what we are thankful to God for.
They thanked Him, because He’s good and His mercy
endures forever. So,
it moves right on over to us, and what we
thank God for. God
is looking for why we
thank God, because that builds the relationship that we have with God. That builds a relationship
with God. This is
part of God’s value system. This
is another thing that God values.
Last week we mentioned that God values love;
it’s part of His value system. There’s
many values that we have. God
shows us
that he values love, and He shows us, this week, that He values the
giving of
thanks.
Now, if I could just make a
point, here, if we were to go on, we would see that some of them were
praising
God for what He was doing. It
had to be
the young ones, because the ancient ones weren’t praising God for what
He was
doing, but the younger ones were praising God for what they saw Him
doing right
now; for what was going on right now.
But
the ancient ones, the elder ones, the ones who had been around for a
long time,
they began to weep, and to cry, because they remembered what the glory
of that
first Temple was like. They
began to cry
about the whole thing. Now,
when we had
the opportunity to go to Israel—it was wonderful; I got so much out of
that
trip. I’m looking
forward to making
another one sometime—when we went to Israel, we went to one of these
little
places—we went to a lot of museums and a lot of sights—one of the
places that
we went to was a place where they went to show us about the building of
the
Temple. They had
this whole exposé. It
was wonderful that they told us all this
stuff, but it was coming so fast and so furious—my little mind wasn’t
used to
trying to hold onto all that information.
It was great to be exercised in that way. What they showed us was a
couple of pictures. One
of the pictures that they showed us was
Solomon’s Temple. Solomon’s
Temple was
built in a time when Israel was rich.
When
Israel was rich, they had a lot of showbread; they had plenty of oil
for the
candles. They had
many offerings and
sacrifices that they would do at the altar when Israel was rich. They had another picture
there: they had a
picture of after Israel went into
captivity, which this is, here, in the book of Ezra.
In this picture, of course, they were in
captivity, they did not have a lot of money.
They were poor; they were broke, if you will. At this time, if you were
to look at the
temple, you would see that they had just enough.
Just enough oil for the lamps.
They had just enough showbread inside the
Temple. They had
just enough offerings
for oblations. They
had just enough;
they didn’t have a period of riches.
It
says here that the older ones, the elder ones, they remembered, so they
couldn’t help but compare. They
couldn’t
help but compare the old and what used to be, with the new and what is. There’ a lesson in here
for that.
So we see, all at the same time,
in the Book of Ezra, all at the same time, as they laid the foundation,
we’ve
got two different things going on here:
We’ve got the voice of those who are shouting and
praising God for what
He’s doing, and we’ve got the voice of those who are weeping for what
God used
to do. Yes, yes,
yes, we have a lesson
here.
Now,
in our ministry, here, we’ve had a lot of changes, as ministries are
supposed
to adopt and change. The
Gospel stays
the same, but ministries change. Administrations
change. The
leadership may change. The
Word of God standeth sure; it never
changes. Not a dot,
not a tittle, not a slant, not a
comma; it never changes, as our God never changes.
But, as time changes, maybe the ways that the
ministry reach people, maybe that changes.
Maybe that modifies a little bit.
Maybe some of the things that people are accustomed
to—you know, if you
had gone back a hundred and fifty years and talk to them about putting
advertising in newspapers, and putting it on TV, and the social media
thing,
and the cell phones; they’d have looked at you like, “I don’t have a
clue what
you’re talking about, and, you know what? I don’t know if you’re
possessed or
not. Don’t bring
that mess up in
here.” Yeah, if you
were to go back two
hundred years—if you were to go back a thousand years, and talk to them
about a
printing press, they’d be like, “A what?
We write things by hand.
We don’t
have typewriters, computers… We
don’t
have speech to text. We
don’t have that
stuff.” So, we see
that administrations
and methodologies, they may change, but the Word of God has not. So, saying that,
sometimes, in ministries,
the ones who have been around for a while might get caught up a little
bit, and
say, “You know, somebody is praising and thanking Him for what’s going
on now,”
and they turn round and say, “But it ain’t like it used to be. You should have seen it
way back when I was
younger.” If I’m
honest, I’ve been
caught up in that spirit a time or two.
It’s
good to have memorials, but you don’t live in your memorials. They are reminders, to get
you going, that
God did it before, and God will do it again.
So,
as we talk about the elders, and the ancient people, and how they might
say,
“Oh, if only you had seen it then!” as if God could only do it one way. This attitude this
position, can actually
stop the observing of a blessing that God is binging now. In fact, it can restrict,
or altogether stop
God from moving, if we take our faith out of our diminished hearts. If can have the effect of
where people say,
“Well, you know, you make me to feel like, I don’t know, maybe, maybe,
I’m just
out of time.” So,
we see that, many
times, God’s people have that attitude—it is a matter of putting our
own
limitations, if you will, maybe our own expectations, and maybe my own
interpretation of what God is doing, and not giving freedom to the Holy
Spirit
to do all that God wants to do. There
is, there is a problem with this, when we start to put a mindset on
what God is
doing. I’ve seen it! You know what? Anybody who’s been in the
faith for a while,
when somebody new comes along, you’re going to say, “Hey, this is how
you have
to do it. You
follow me and check me out. Do
this the way that I do it. You
follow me.” “I’ve
been around fifteen years,” and
somebody else says, “I’ve been around twenty-five years, so you follow
me.” As though God
is restricted to that. God
Almighty being held hostage by people who
use tenure in God.
As if God can’t do a new thing.
As if God can’t do something that we don’t
even know what He’s going to do. As if God can’t power out
a blessing that we
would say, “Wow! I
never imagined that!”
You
know, when I—I’ve told this story before—when I was—I grew up in
Baltimore, in
an area where it was very ethno-centric; let me say it like that. We had our customs and
traditions, but, one
of the things that wasn’t there was cheesecake.
Cheesecake. So,
here I was,
eighteen years old; I’d heard about this phenomenon, cheesecake. I’d heard about it, and I
went into the Navy,
down in Orlando, Florida. “Why
would
anybody eat cake that tastes like cheese?
Why would somebody do that?
That
just sounds nasty. That
just sounds
nasty. The people
that do that—that’s
like eating liver!” So,
anyway, there I
was, just a little guy from Baltimore, Maryland in Orlando, Florida,
and I’m
going to tell you, Saints, I remember, I remember where I was standing
the
first time, when I had my first bite—I remember the scenario; I
remember
everything that was going on around me.
There
I was, coming from the Navy Exchange, right from the cafeteria part,
where I
could look over, and I could see Nuke School.
It was my lunch time, and I could see the field
where we played sports
and everything, that’s what was going on.
I could see the register in the cafeteria, and I was
standing up, and it
cost me a quarter to have a little bite, and I thought, “Well, I’ll try
it out
for a quarter.” I
remember the first
time I had a bite of cheesecake. The
first time. It was
like my taste buds
flew up out of my mouth. It
was like
they just went into an automatic crave.
It
was like they all started screaming; they didn’t know what to do with
themselves. Over my
first bite of cheesecake. Yeah,
I can remember; yeah. I’m
being a little comical in this, but it’s
for a point. It’s
akin to the very first
time—See, I didn’t know how to—it is akin to the very first time that I
accepted what God had for me. When
I
accepted Him at His Word, it is akin to that.
You see, I had heard stories about, “You know, you
can have a walk with
God, and it could be something personal, and it could be something
precious,
and you could like it; you could love it!”
I had heard stories about all that, but, I’ll tell
you the truth, I
never, ever knew it could be like this.
People
that were religious people, or Christians, they would point afar off,
and
they’d say, “Yeah, it could be like that!” and I’m like, “Oh, I’m sure
it
could, but, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” and the very first
time I
accepted, the very first time I accepted God at His Word, trusted Him,
and
didn’t put my expectations, my limitations, or my interpretations on
what God’s
will is for my life, the very first time, oh, that is when I found out
the
truth. This love
that he has, it’s
amazing! Didn’t
even know how to put
that word in right. It’s
spectacular. The
very first time you come into the
knowledge and understanding and you feel the Holy Spirit go over you
like a
wave of glory. It’s
tremendous! It is
awesome! The very
first time. If I’d
have known. If I’d
have known… I mean,
you could hear people talk about it,
but, if I’d have known it was going to be like this, I would have
sought for
this sooner. “God,
I need that!” I
know, I saw it in a dream, I had a glimpse;
somebody put the taste in my mouth.
I
had a whiff, and I need to have it in my life.
Part II: Unthankfulness
We
need to say something about unthankfulness, because unthankfulness
comes from
somewhere, also. Unthankfulness
begs to
say, “Oh, what I got, I deserve,” or, “What I got ain’t enough,” or,
“What I
got, I got it myself, anyway.”
Unthankfulness comes from someone.
It comes from the one, the very first one who was
unthankful in the
first place, who said, when he saw the Giver of all good and perfect
gifts, the
Majestic, the Magnificent, the Awesome One, when he saw Him, he said,
“I can be
like that, and get that same glory for me.
I’m going to be like that, and I’m going to be that
prestigious,”
instead of bowing down and giving that glory and thankfulness unto God,
he
said, “I’m going to take some of that for myself.”
That is the institution known as pride. That is where pride comes
from. Pride came
from there, and is still going on.
This is why he is the king over all the
children of pride. Psalms 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath He respect unto
the lowly: but the
proud He knoweth afar off.
The
proud He knoweth afar off. So,
though
the Lord is high, He has respect unto the lowly, to the humble. Pride brings an
afar-off-ness; in other
words, pride brings division; it brings distance between us and God. Pride brings distance
between us and God.
There’s
another point, as far as being unthankful, that we have to go to: Sometimes God’s blessings,
and His
deliverance, it’s so smooth and so awesome, so simple, and pure, that
you could
almost forget that you had a problem in the first place. Did God ever do something
for you, and you
forget that you asked, because it’s so wonderful—He doesn’t throw
fireworks up;
He doesn’t go ahead and just blast it across the radio or TV or
nothing; God
just does it.
You
know, when I was—some months ago, I had a—I’ve had respiratory problems
all my
life, and one of these times, I was having a really bad breathing
attack. One of the
brothers, he’s into the healthy
stuff—I say that to my shame, because I don’t do a whole lot of the
healthy
stuff; some people have a lot of mercy, they say, “Hey, look, you’re
being
ignorant. Take
this, and get
better.” So, this
brother, he says, “You
know what you should do? You
should take
this certain vitamin; it will help you out.”
I said, “Great.
Wonderful. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yah, yeah, thanks.” Anything
to get the conversation over. He
would say that every day of so, and, after
several days, he said, “Hey, look, I need a ride.
Can you give me a ride?”
“Oh, sure, bro, sure, I’ll give you a
ride.” Me still
suffering with my little
beginning of bronchitis respiratory ailment.
I gave him a ride.
Guess where he
wanted to go? He
wanted to the health
food store. Okay,
well, he does that
kind of thing, because he’s one of those healthy people. Anyway, he went in there,
and he bought the
bottle of vitamins, brought it out to the car, and said, “Here, try
this.” “All right,
all right, all right, all right,
all right.” So, I
did. I tried a
couple that day. That
was in the afternoon, and I took a
couple that night because that was what he said to do.
Took a couple the next day, took a couple in
the afternoon, and he said take a couple that night.
The third day rolled around and I didn’t take
any. You know why I
didn’t take any?
because I forgot I was sick. I
forgot. That stuff
worked so good, I forgot I was
sick. I got to
thinking, “I need to
apologize, and thank that brother.”
Brother Ed, Brother Rick, thank you very much for
looking past my
stubborn thoughts and seeing my needs.
Thank
you very much for that. That
is the same
way, or a similar way, so many times, God brings deliverance, and
answers, and anointings,
so pure… Sometimes
God can anoint you so
wonderfully, you might even think it’s you.
You might think it’s you, when God brought that
blessing, just poured it
out like syrup on pancakes. Just
smothered. I’m
sorry; I didn’t eat breakfast
this morning. I
keep going back
there… But God
pours it out so
wonderful, so complete, that it’s like, “How could it be?” It didn’t feel like an
intrusion; it felt
like strength to my bones. It
felt like,
in a sense, like it came from a well of water brimming up within me. Amen.
That’s
how it felt. Yeah,
sometimes He puts it
on display for everybody to know.
God
don’t have to prove nothing to nobody.
He
does it so that people might be anointed and blessed, but He doesn’t
have to;
He’s God.
So,
when God blesses like that, the point is, we have to make sure that we
are
mindful of the blessings, so we turn to thank God and not forget what
He has
done for us. Part
III: There are
different levels, different types
of giving thanks unto God Psalms 119:10 With
my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy
commandments.
“With
my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy
commandments.” So,
we thank God for our food, and, if we
don’t, you know what? we should. Some
of
us, we thank God when He gives us a green light.
Yeah. “He
turned the light green. I’m
in a rush. Thank
You, God, for turning the light green.
I’m on my way.
Make another one green, please, because I’m
running late.” Some
of us thank God for
passing a test. “God,
you helped me pass
this test. I didn’t
know it going into
it, but it seems something happened in there, and, all of the sudden,
the
answers were there. Ahhh.” Some of us thank God for a
roof over our
heads, and a bed to sleep in. Some
of us
thank God that our rent was paid.
Some
of us thank God that we’ve got a job.
Thank
You, Lord, thank You. Some
of us have
thanked God over our favorite piece of pie or cake.
Thank You, God.
You know, I’m going to have to start eating
before I come to church. But, the
question that we have here, is, from the Book of Acts, there was a man
who was
lame from birth, and they would lay him outside the gate—they would lay
him
there! Now, how do
you think he thanked
God when Peter and John were walking at the hour of prayer, they were
walking
into the Temple, and he looked, and the Bible says he asked an alms
from them. The
Bible says that Peter looked on him, and
said, look on us. “Silver
and gold, have
I none, but such as I have, but such as I have, I give unto thee. In the name of Jesus
Christ, rise us and
walk.” How do you
think he thanked God
when Peter reached down and grabbed him, and, the Bible says, his legs
immediately received strength? How
do
you think he thanked God? He
got up and
said, “Oh, that felt good. Thank
you,
bros, I really appreciate that.” Do
you
think that was the case? The
Bible says
that he, leaping and praising God, went into the Temple. Over and over, leaping and
praising God. Wooo!
I believe he might have been doing a little bit of a
moonwalk in there. He
said, “Ha ha! Never
before like this!” and he was shouting,
“Thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You, thank You,
thank You,
Jesus!” How
do you think the blind man, the blind man thanked God.
As he made his cry out, and the Bible says,
the Lord made a clay of spittle and put it on his eyes, and the Bible
says he
went to the pool and washed. He
went and
washed, and the Bible says that he came forth seeing.
How do think he thanked God?
When they tried to take it away from him,
they said, “This man is a devil; you need to Worship God, and call him
a
devil.” Did he give
it back? No the
Bible says that he said, “Now this is a marvelous thing, what God has
done for
me. This is
marvelous. When has
it ever happened, since the
beginning of time, that one who was born blind received his sight?” In other words, “You
couldn’t do it; God did
it!” “If this man
were a sinner, he
could do nothing. But,
whereas once I
was blind, now I see.” How do you
think
it might have been for the man that had the devils?
I don’t know about you, but sometimes you can
get a spirit on your life. Did
you ever
get an angry spirit, just walking around angry for a while, saying, “I
kind of
knew it, but it’s kind of hard to get rid of.”
I don’t really want to be around people; I hope
nothing comes up,
because, whooo! it's going to get nasty.
Maybe you might—just maybe—you might get a lazy
spirit. A lazy
spirit. “Don’t ask
me to do nothing. Don’t
knock on my door. Don’t
send me a letter. Don’t
come by. Don’t send
anybody by. Don’t
even shine a light in my window. Don’t
throw rocks up here. Just
don’t do it. I feel
like I have to have some time
off.” So, how do
you think this man who,
the Bible says, had legion, and everybody was afraid of him. It says he spent his time
in the cemetery. Every
time they would put chains on him, he
would break them. But,
the Bible says
that when Jesus came along, He rebuked the spirits out of the man. Then that man would follow
Jesus. How do you
think he thanked Him? “Hey,
Jesus, it’s been a long time, but I
really appreciate that,” or, stretching his hands to Heaven, “Almighty
God! Nobody but You! Nobody but You, Lord! I will follow You all the
rest of my days.” How
do you think, how do you think Lazarus said thank You to God? Out of all the things to
be delivered from,
to be risen from the dead? Yeah. So, our point here is that
we know each one
of them has a connection with us.
There
are times that we don’t see things that we need to see, and God will
reveal
things to us. There
are times when we
might have a wrong spirit on us, and we can go to Jesus, and he can
heal us of
every one. There
are times when we can’t
walk, can’t even take another step, and the Lord provides strength. Each one of them has a
connection with us. So,
in wrapping up, the point here is, we
have to be careful, we have to be careful not to give a cake or pie
thank You
to a open my blinded eyes, saved my soul, gave me strength to walk,
raised me
from the dead blessing. Amen? Let’s give the Lord a
praise.
