00:24 Hi, welcome to the program where we sing your requests.

00:33 What can cause a person to sing
00:35 even when life is seemingly going all wrong
00:37 and there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight?
00:40 The Word of God is boiling over with wonderful promises,
00:43 encouraging us to remain faithful
00:45 in order to receive our eternal reward.
00:48 That's why it's so important to have Godly music playing
00:50 in our homes, our cars, our headphones to inspire us
00:54 to be faithful in our Christian walk,
00:57 especially when life trips us up.
01:00 Here's a great hymn
01:01 "Standing on the promises of God",
01:03 and that's a great way to...
01:06 start the program.
01:12 Standing on the promises of Christ my King
01:17 Through eternal ages let his praises ring
01:21 Glory in the highest I will shout and sing
01:25 Standing on the promises of God
01:30 Standing, standing
01:34 Standing on the promises of Christ
01:37 My Savior Standing
01:41 Standing
01:44 I'm standing on the promises of God
02:05 Standing, standing
02:09 Standing on the promises of God my Savior
02:14 Standing, standing
02:18 I'm standing on the promises of God
02:25 Standing on the promises of Christ my Lord
02:30 Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord
02:34 Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword
02:38 I'm standing on the promises of God
02:45 Standing on the promises I cannot fall
02:50 Listening every moment to the Spirit's call
02:54 I'm resting in my Savior as my all in all
02:58 I'm standing on the promises of God
03:01 Oh, sing out now.
03:25 Amen.
03:27 Titus 2:13 and 14 says,
03:30 "We wait for the blessed hope the appearing of the glory
03:33 of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ
03:36 who gave Himself for us to redeem us
03:39 from all wickedness and to purify
03:41 for Himself a people that are His very own
03:44 eager to do what is good."
03:46 Great verse from Titus.
03:47 Here's a hymn request from Margarita in St Lucia,
03:50 page 441, "I saw one weary,"
03:53 and this song reminds us of the importance of keeping
03:55 the encouragement of the blessed hope
03:58 in our heart.
04:00 "I saw one weary."
04:06 I saw one weary, sad, and torn
04:10 With eager steps press on the way
04:13 Who long the hallowed cross had borne
04:17 Still looking for the promised day
04:21 While many a line of grief and care
04:25 Upon his brow, was furrowed there
04:28 I asked what buoyed his spirits up
04:32 O this, said he, the blessed hope
04:37 And one I saw, with sword and shield
04:41 Who boldly braved the world's cold frown
04:45 And fought, unyielding, on the field
04:48 To win an everlasting crown
04:52 Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes
04:56 No murmur from his heart arose
05:00 I asked what buoyed his spirits up
05:03 O this, said he, the blessed hope
05:36 While pilgrims here
05:38 we journey on
05:40 In this dark vale of sin and gloom
05:44 Through tribulation, hate, and scorn
05:48 Or through the portals of the tomb
05:53 Till our returning king shall come
05:57 to take His exile captives home
06:01 O what can buoy the spirits up?
06:05 'Tis this alone the blessed hope
06:12 That's a good reason to keep singing, right,
06:14 the blessed hope.
06:16 Here's a song written by good friend of mine,
06:18 Squire Parsons,
06:20 that talks another reason about why we sing.
06:31 I've been singing about my Lord
06:37 For many years
06:40 I've sung when I've been happy
06:44 I've sung when I've had tears
06:48 Some folks have even asked me
06:51 If it's all been just a show
06:55 But the reason that I'm singing
06:59 I want the world to know
07:03 I sing because there is an empty grave
07:07 I sing because there is a power to save
07:11 I sing because His grace is real to me
07:19 I sing because I know I'm not alone
07:23 I sing because someday I'm going home
07:27 Where I shall sing through all eternity
07:35 I sing because I know I'm not alone
07:39 I sing because someday I'm going home
07:43 Where I will sing
07:45 Through all eternity
07:57 Be sure and hang around for the next part.
