Turn revivals if you would to Psalm 32 I prayed much in preparing this message as much about the introduction is anything and I'll tell you why this message mainly is going to be geared toward Christians and my desire is that it will make us appreciate the long-suffering of God more than we do. That's my desire. I have an introduction written out. I'm going to read in a moment. But as I sat there, I couldn't help but think what will be the difference in unsafe people in this auditorium. Hearing this message and Christians hearing this message. I have never been to Victoria Falls seen pictures of it, but I imagine if you want to Victoria Falls and some of the other pastors have been there and have seen this and could describe it far better than I but if you want to Victoria Falls or Niagara for that matter, and you were blind, you could feel the best. You might even taste as you open your mouth and some of that one in your mouth you could smell the freshness of freshness of that water you could hear the roar and know that there's something powerful going on but you could never fully appreciate Victoria Falls until you had seen it the magnitude of the breadth of it. The sheer power of it in beloved tonight.
You can be here as an unsafe person and you can do a lot of things but he cannot clearly see the truth of the word of God.
If you blind and I would challenge you tonight as you listen to this challenge to Christians to appreciate more fully the long-suffering of God to realize he's long-suffering for you because you are one breath or one heartbeat from being too late and I would challenge you to keep that in mind, the introduction that I have typed out I like to read to you. It begins with the lyrics of a song and I'll explain why in a moment. Is anyone worth eight is anyone whole, is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll, the lion of Judah who conquered the grave. He is David's route and the Lamb who died to ransom the slate.
Is he worthy is he worthy of all the blessing and honor and glory is a worthy of this is as I listen to that song while alone in my office I was drawn in the worship but I was bankrupt for words.
I was deeply moved in my spirit with gratitude for God's grace. I long for that intensely personal, heartfelt worship to be the norm in my life. It was worship without pretense. No one was there to witness it. It was worship that was dependent upon the Holy Spirit. I did not know how to express my desire to exalt Christ had experience was couple with the wonder over God's long-suffering in my own life. My flesh, my unredeemed humanness so drawn to things that do not honor God seeks to seduce me into thinking that things like gossip, a judgmental spirit in gratitude and selfishness is not as big as they really are, and that God's forgiveness of those things is not that big either. The truth that forgiveness for any and every sin is a wondrous act of grace and I think sometimes we forget that the truth that forgiveness for any and every sin is a wondrous act of grace for us to appreciate the blessing of God's forgiveness is voiced by David and Psalm 32, we must consider it against the backdrop of his confession and Psalm 51 that we read earlier and commentators. As I said earlier, believe that Psalm 32 was written after Psalm 51 other commentators tell us that Psalm 51 was written probably close to a year after David committed adultery. A year gone by, and when I read Psalm 32 tier in a moment. It certainly makes sense that it it was a long drawn out agonizing time. We must never forget that David was a believer who was highly esteemed by God and man. And yet David committed several unthinkable sins. Likewise, we must see our own sin.
Considering the truth that were capable of doing that which is utterly despicable to God. To think that are thrice holy God forgives our sins, though there is Scarlett full knowing the sins that we will yet commit in this in the future should humble us and can I say that again to think that are thrice holy God forgives our sins though they be as scarlet, while full knowing our future sins against him should humble us, it should cause us to cry out blessed MRI whose transgressions are removed as far as the east is from the West whose sins are covered by the very blood blood of God the son whose iniquities are not placed on my account, but upon Christ, we have our Bibles open to Psalm 32 and I want to read this Psalm for us at this time my little subtitle, which obviously is not inspired is the joy of forgiveness, a Psalm of David. A contemplation David writes, blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute inequity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long for day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My vitality was turned in of the drought of summer seal, I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity.
I've not hidden. I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you in a time when you may be found surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place.
You just preserve me from trouble.
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will guide you with my eye. Do not be like the horse are like the mule, which have no understanding which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. Many sorrel shall be the wicked, but he who trusts in the Lord mercy shall surround him. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous and shout for joy, all you upright in heart. The title of the message that were going to share with tinnitus from burden the blessing they can fight confession of a contrite heart and God enabling I have a desire that he will move us to confess sin readily and regularly so that we maintain unhindered fellowship with him men's prayer meeting just before the service pastor Berkman pointed out the verse, pray without ceasing, being an attitude of prayer. It should be easy for believers to pray anywhere at any time without anyone else knowing it and love it when we know that we've offended a holy God and thought, word or deed are confession should be immediate and honest.
A second desire that we have is that God will enable us to cultivate a grateful heart that marvels over the wonder of his long-suffering grace, and the third thing that we trust the Lord will do tonight. He will move us upon move upon us to call on him search us to know our heart to try us to know our anxieties to see if there's any wicked way in us look in her notes. The first thing that we want to consider tonight is refreshment is the fruit of sins forgiven. Refreshment is the fruit of sins forgiven and will notice this in a moment. In verses one and two we asked the question, who is the human author and the answer to that is David, and David was the gold standard of Israel's kings often one kings did something exemplary God would follow that up by saying but not like his father David. He was the gold standard, he who often demonstrated sterling character betrayed the God who had blessed him, and I want to give you an indication of God's blessing you need not turn there, but I want to read second Samuel seven verses eight and nine and God is speaking here and he says now therefore, thus shall you say to my servant David thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the sheepfold from following the sheep to be ruler over my people over Israel had been with you wherever you gone and of cut off all your enemies from before you and made you a great name, like the name of the great men were upon the face of the earth dropping down verse 18. Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said who MRI. Oh God, and what is my house that you brought me thus far and yet this is a small thing in your sight oh Lord God, you have also spoken of your servant's house for a great while they come. Is this the manner of man, oh Lord God know what more can David say to you, for you, Lord God know your servant for your word. Satan according to your own heart you done all these great things that make your servant know them. Therefore, you are great Lord God, for there is none like you, nor is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. God had blessed David immensely taken from following sheep to be becoming the king who would rule his people and beloved today. You and I need to stop for a moment and contemplate the blessing of God upon our lives.
Just ask and answer this question of yourself were mine I be tonight, but for the grace of God we say that to quickly were mine I be tonight, but for the grace of God we have got to be very careful about spiritual complacency on the one hand and spiritual cockiness on the other, and Paul gives us good warning in first Corinthians 1012 to 13. He says therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man, but God is faithful will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear beloved tonight.
We must flee temptation and the guilt that failure may bring.
And we must take the means of escape, that God always provides for us.
Just think he has purchased us from the marketplace of sin as slaves of sin and made us holy nobility. So we see the human author is David the gold standard of Israel's kings.
And yet, someone who committed adultery and murder. Despicable sins that offended his holy God.
What is the intent of the Psalm always see that in verse one. The first part. It's a contemplation it's meant instruct and we are told that this is one of seven penitential Psalms and I want to note a couple of things under this David pictures the reality that sin against God has serious consequences. David personifies or pictures the reality that sin against God has serious consequences.
Roger Ellsworth and opening up the Psalms gives this descriptive listen, if you would.
He says some burdens are so heavy that they seem to consume all our strength, no burden is heavier than the burden of guilt and perhaps no one is ever carried a heavier burden of guilt than King David.
We know his story all too well. He the man after God's own heart. The man who had been enormously blessed the man who had a keen spiritual insight that we find in the Psalm committed unspeakably vile and callous acts he lusted after his neighbor's wife committed adultery with her and had her husband killed the cover it all up. David pictures the reality that sin against God has serious consequences but a second thing under this that I want us to consider is David pictures the restoration and rejoicing that comes from remission of sin. When you look at Psalm 51 and see the confession of David and you put in front of that Psalm 32 David pictures the restoration and the rejoicing that comes from remission of sin. Notice the second part of verse one and Olivers to he says blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute inequity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit and will Onyx posit some of the book the words in these two verses the word blessed.
That means how happy the word is in the plural, so you could read it all the blessedness is and this commentator that I quoted earlier. Ellsworth says this. If we do not share his appreciation for forgiveness. It most certainly is because we do not share his understanding of sin.
Let me say that again if we do not share his appreciation for forgiveness is most certainly because we do not share his understanding of sin beloved David was refreshed he was refreshed. Strong's concordance says that that word means given rest a calmness of patient expectation is sins had been forgiven. It was like a load taken off. What a relief, and the word transgression in these verses means revolt rebellion deliberate stepping over known boundary. David looked David lingered, David lusted David letdown and David lost where he made his his mistake. He looked in a set of plain lost. He lingered. That's where he made his mistake. That's where he he started down the slippery slope looking and lingering and then after that he lusted after he desired her. He letdown and he lost.
He knew that Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah and a committed trans transgression, a revolt, rebellion, deliberate stepping over known boundary in the same verse is the word rendered forgiven in the original means taken off and means taken off or taken away as a burden is lifted or barrier removed. Spurgeon gives that definition of that Strong's dictionary says remission is a release from bondage or imprisonment. Forgiveness or pardon of sin and as I reflected over this if indeed it is true that nearly year went by before David confessed his sin. One day when Nathan said that our at the man. Imagine what this man after God's own heart carried for a year. Think about that that burden day and night your hand was heavy upon me. The word sin in these verses refers to specific items of wrongdoing and thought, word or deed, and in David's case lost adultery, deceit, and murdered.
When we look at verse one. At the very end of it. The word covered conveys the idea of hiding or concealing and praise God only think of how he is blessed us. We who are Christians are sin is hidden under the blood of Jesus Christ. The word impute means to put to the account are sins are imputed to Christ and his righteousness to us.
I couldn't help but think of the song that we love to sing his robes for mine.
Oh wonderful exchange closed in my sin.
Christ suffered need God's rage arson is imputed to him and his righteousness imputed us.
We need to often wonder over that and then the word inequity its award-winning perversity moral evil fault or mischief, and he and his these two verses and in whose spirit there is no deceit. David is not soft pedal. His wrongdoing and I want you to notice these words as we read it.
He owns his transgression, his sin, his inequity and beloved again. Notice how thorough he is and calling his actions.
What they are transgressions sins and iniquities against God is not enough that he could have just said.
Forgive my transgressions or forgive my sins or forgive my iniquities, but he says the same wording in this praise Psalm that he did in Psalm 51 E. thorough and calling his actions. What they were transgressions sins iniquities against God. As I studied for this and is is my custom and I I trust yours.
Also, getting up in the morning and starting the day in prayer. I asked the Lord forgive me of sin and on more than one occasion in the days preparing this message. I had to stop and go back what he menu left some things out. Nope, that's not the reason at all. I just caught myself saying more. Please forgive me of my sins and then I go on and I I felt I needed to go back and say father please forgive me of my for offenses against you, my transgressions, my overstepping the bounds my sin, my iniquity, forgive me for Jesus sake and beloved, we can take for granted the long-suffering of God in our lives and we can take for granted just a little prayer to Jesus makes it right and I say that carefully it doesn't. We need to be sensitive and serious is David Wallace in confessing our sins a second thing that we want to look at not only refreshment is the fruit of sins forgiven. But secondly, repentance and restoration are preceded by recognition of our sin. David certainly personifies that he recognized his sin and we see that in verses three through five in notice again how he repeats these words he said when I kept silent, my bones grew old to my groaning all the day long for day and night your hand was heavy upon me.
My vitality was turned, and that the drought of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin to you in my iniquity. I have not hidden. I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah. The first thing under this that I want to reflect upon is the pervasiveness of guilt, the pervasiveness of guilt.
And if you see in the notes I've used the word pervasiveness in all four subpoints in this on purpose pervasive. It means that it it fills every corner does so to speak. It's almost like in the indigo dye and wool. The pervasiveness of guilt verses three and four. Confession means to agree with God about our sin and lack of confession affects us physically and emotionally. Look at verse three when I kept silent, my bones grew old physical physical torment through my groaning all the day long again emotional torment lack of confession affects us physically and emotionally.
Secondly, lack of confession brings God's constant chastening. The first part of verse four for day and night your hand was heavy upon me. He couldn't get away from it. And if you've been guilty of sin that is unconfessed. You know exactly what he felt the some degree. I surely no one is in here and and we don't want to categorize sin, but David was high-handed in his sin he looked he lusted to let you lingered, he letdown and and he lost and he not only committed adultery, but he piled on that one sin a noble man, Uriah was the husband of that woman, he calls them back is you know the story and says hey by the way couldn't stay with your wife trying to cover up his his sin. The man was to noble to loyal to his fellow soldiers and would not so would David do.
He compounded his sin.
He got them drunk and in a drunken stupor. He had more self-control than the man after God's own heart.
It that is a sobering thing that is a sobering thing lack of confession brings God's constant chastening thank the Lord for that. And then thirdly on the best lack of confession drains spiritual energy for be my vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
My vitality was turned, and that the drought of summer lack of confession drains spiritual energy. I am mine blown it boggles my mind and I'm sure it does.
The other pastors when we hear of people who have been in the position of an elder or pastor who preach week after week after week after week, and then you find out that for months they have committed adultery I don't understand how that can be.
They are good actors because they do not have the empowering of the Holy Spirit on as they continue to dwell in the sin and have the audacity to preach the word of God. We need to understand there's a pervasiveness of guilt when it comes to sin. The second thing I'd like us to consider is the pervasiveness of acknowledging amending in confessing verse five a.
A notice again. The use of sin.
Inequity in transgressions, he said. I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity have not hidden. I said I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, the pervasiveness of acknowledging admitting and confessing.
Recall Psalm 51 and I want to read the first four verses I to you, he said, have mercy upon me. Oh God, according to your lovingkindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions, wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, cleanse me from my sin, and he says this because I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is always before me against you. You only have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight that you may be found just when you speak and blameless when you judge the pervasiveness of acknowledging admitting and confessing foreplay under this, the pervasiveness of forgiveness you in verse 5B is referring to lower the self exist on their eternal one, the Almighty Jehovah and his confession. Psalm 51, David adds a word to his list and that word is evil, which refers to calamity, grievous heart harm, sorrow or wretchedness. This causes me to read to you. Isaiah 4325 for God declares I even I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and I will not remember your sins. I don't know about you but that us that because every one of us to say amen when a holy God says I even on am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and I will not remember your sins, the pervasiveness of forgiveness and finally under this pervasiveness of contemplation. Selah. That word means it's it's a musical rest it means to meditate and means to think about the enormity of sin and the cost of forgiveness and you notice in Psalm 32. I'll not go to each case, at least three, maybe four times.
David says stop stop, think about what you just read and we need to do that folks, the pervasiveness of contemplation meditating upon what Jesus did when he came to Galilee is a baby meditate upon what Jesus did when he went to Gethsemane and sweat, as it were great drops of blood. Meditate upon what Jesus suffered and GABA meditate upon what Jesus endured on Golgotha. Selah stop meditate upon this and if we would it would affect our confession of sin, it would affect our appreciation for God's long-suffering. The third thing that we want to look at tonight as we consider this topic of the blessedness of confession resting and restored fellowship with God brings peace and praise resting and restored fellowship with God brings peace and praise and we see this in verses six and seven for this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you in a time when you may be found surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place.
You shall preserve me from trouble you sir shall surround me with songs of deliverance and again the word Selah. There is a prerequisite of godliness. Notice verse 6A.
For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to you. That's one reason why we mention at the start that this message will mean more to believers who know that their sins run of the blood who know that they are forgiven, who know that they have a living hope ahead of them are sins are forgiven, the prerequisite of godliness. Everyone who is godly and then we see.
Secondly, there's a prayer to the God who is there. Notice verse six be in a time when you bent may be found. Hebrews 13, 5B assures us beloved that if we are in Christ, we don't have to look far at all to find God and I want to read to you the amplified version.
If you read the entire earth. You put the entire Bible and in they have the amplified version. It is not easy reading, but it gives us a clearer picture of what the Greek translated into English, is because we don't have one word for one word. But listen to this in the amplified God himself is said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless, nor forsake nor let you down. Relax my hold on you assuredly not and I think we all know that said for our benefit, not his. He's not writing himself attacking out and I don't say that irreverently, that is for our benefit. He is saying. Under no circumstance will I leave my own. I will be your shelter. I will be your fortress and then the last thing under this is there is protection against overwhelming troubles.
Look at verse 6C and one look at the first part of verse seven.
Surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place. You shall preserve me from trouble. You shall preserve me from trouble. I want to share a poem with you a short one that's based in part on Psalm 91, I'd suggest that you read that and in Psalm 91 David writes this he who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord he is my refuge and my fortress, my God in him I will trust you shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you shall take refuge is true, shall be your shield and buckler that is God's promise to us. There is a place of secret place known only to those rescued souls who by God's grace is shadow C and their abide in his control. Within this place God secret place.
I too can find life trials and woes, Almighty God, in whom I trust. Defeats both seen and unseen photos is true shall be my strength and shield Mets tears ran both day and night in the most high.
I dwell secure, protected by his hosts of light grant peace and power to me Lord that I might honor the alone and face life's challenges today from meet the shadow of thy throne and then finally under .3 there is praise that is God inspired notice verse seven Bay.
He ends up telling us and 7B. You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah. You shall surround me with songs of deliverance and not to be funny in any way, but I I couldn't help it right.
Talk about being enveloped in surround sound. He surrounds us with songs of deliverance and I've said this before when I had occasion to preach. If we lose our song. We are in trouble if a believer loses the ability to sing something is dreadfully wrong, something is dreadfully wrong because we have a song, a new song that I constantly be the filter in our mind to constantly be on our lips, and number four requirements for restoration rejoicing include two things instruction and submission requirements for restoration and rejoicing include instruction and submission, and we see that in verses eight and nine verses eight and nine God says I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.
I will guide you with mine. I do not be like the horse are like the mule, which have no understanding which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you.
First of all instruction. God may use your personal study and application of his word or he may use a Nathan a spiritual leader to reprove to admonish, instruct and encourage and focus. When you are willing to be reproved.
It shows spiritual maturity. It is not easy to be reproved a goes against our flesh that goes against our flesh, but we ought to appreciate someone who has the concern and compassion to reprove us and we had to be courageous enough to reprove others for their good with the right motive a with the beam out of RI and seeing this back in their eye but with the right motive. God may use your personal study or he could use a spiritual leader and if he does, I would challenge you to think of what Paul said in Galatians 416. He asked have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth, and the implied answer is no, I'm not your enemy because I tell you the truth I'm your friend. The second thing that is a requirement of submission. Conscious obedience parallels our understanding of God and our desire to please him in all things I want to read that again because David apparently forgot that conscious obedience parallels our understanding of God and a desire to please him and all things be aware of the callused heart notice verse nine. Again he references the horse and the mule with a hard mouth and I could not help but think of the verse it says bring in the captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Beloved, we who are Christians need to be sensitive to the guiding governing hand of God on the reins of our life.
I don't have time to embellish this but I remember as a youngster love riding horses and I would go out of the stable and if I cleaned out the stable guy would let me ride a horse, will he had this good-sized pony command that was straight from the auction and he got the he got the pony pretty cheap and I believe I know why he let a group go out on the trail they were not on the trail and he said to me, call me Bonnie said Bob you want to drive this right this new horse as a being green. I wanted ride the horse. So I got honor and I was connected catch up with the group while they had to go across this bridge and the bridge went over a stream when even a riff that horses hooves hit that bridge and it sounded hollow and it came off that bridge.
On the other side on 2 feet and horses.
As you know have for this is very unnatural and that worse bolted.
Now I was not prepared for that because that worse spit the bit what you mean, but not spending entirely out of their mouth, getting the bit in front of their teeth, and you might as well pull on the rock of Gibraltar.
If a horse bits the bit. There's a ravine to the left going down with trees and everything there is a plowed field to the right. Not a good thing.
Plowed field horses leg broken leg explained that the owner friend the next 5 to 10 seconds seemed like 5 to 10 hours because when a horse has a hard mouth or spits the bit you are in trouble and the only way that you can take care of that is you let go of one rain and you take care of the other with both hands and you pull their nose around to kiss your knee and the only way that they can run is in a circle and that happened to me and I wasn't a big shot anymore. Guess what, I turned that worse around tail between my legs and we went back up the hill.
I said Mr. nano anonymous has no business on the horse. I won a novice, but I wouldn't any pro either invokes the appointment remake use this if we are not careful we can easily do one or two things become hard mouth were not as sensitive to God's guiding hand on the reins of our life or like David spit the bit he did lose his salvation, but boy, he lost his fellowship with God because he spit the bit who's why fishing and he sent for that is a willful overstepping the line.
The last thing that we want to look at is rejoicing is the is the fruit of true righteousness. Verses 10 and 11 in verse 10 we see if a striking contrast between the wicked in the trusting sorrow upon sorrow for the wicked, and then mercy surrounds those trusting in the I am that I am in verse 10 verse 11. The upright in heart are commanded to be glad to rejoice, and rejoicing is neat internal condition, rejoicing. But he tells them to shout for joy.
That's an external testimony when were going through tough times and we seek to bring glory to God's you that that is an external testimony. The upright should in heart shall call upon God. Psalm 86 325. Be merciful to me oh Lord Fry cried you all day long.
Rejoice the soul of your servant first to you oh Lord I lift up my soul for your Lord are good and ready to forgive and abundant in mercy to all who call upon you. We have to be calling upon God is upright and hard and then the upright heart not only call upon him, but they fear God. Psalm 103 versus 10 to 14.
He is not dealt with us according to our sands or punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us as a father pities his children so the Lord pities those who fear him, for he knows our frame, he remembers we are but dust and as I said before. One definition of fear of God is a reverent attitude of awe and adoration offer what who he is adoration for what he has done whereby the child of God guides and guards his or her thoughts, words and deeds by the word of God for the glory of God. And I want to just think about three things that we began with as we close tonight by God's grace. Let us confess sin readily and regularly to maintain fellowship with God.
I'm speaking to Christians, by God's grace. Let us confess sin readily and regularly to maintain fellowship with God and to any unbelievers go to God initially declare your belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and confess your sin to Christians.
A second thing by God's grace. Let us cultivate a grateful heart that marveled over the long-suffering grace of God that forgives us daily as we have ongoing sin in our life and then finally by God's grace. Let us call upon God to search us to know our heart to try us to know our anxieties and see if there's any wicked way in us and lead us in the way everlasting. I am going to close with a word of prayer before we sing our last him and it is in a in a poem form and I want to read it slowly and heartfelt with the sincere desire that it honor God. So I'd ask you to close your eyes, as we and with this prayer with trembling lips. I make this play, O thou most high, examined me through testing of thine own design judge. Now the bent of heart and mind yet prove me not apart from grace is IN homage, seek the face of him whose kindness leads my eyes down truce plane path that satisfies I shall not sit nor shall I go with her Spain sons who hate the cell, but to the altar of my God, I come made sure through Christ shed blood to honor these such as I can with the frail praise of mortal man and publish, with thanksgiving, voice, the wonders that make sense rejoice within my solemn house I bow in adoration. I would vow to guard the honor of thy name and never bring the cause for shame, Lord, make my breath, my joy, I meet to linger in my presence will through blessings, trials, toils and pain steadfast and true I would remain in Jesus name, amen
