May you be filled with joy,
always thanking the Father.
He has enabled you to share in the inheritance
that belongs to his people,
who live in the light.
For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness
and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,
who purchased our freedom
and forgave our sins.
But we are citizens of heaven,
where the Lord Jesus Christ lives.
And we are eagerly waiting for him to return
as our Savior.
He will take our weak mortal bodies
and change them into glorious bodies like his own,
using the same power
which which he will bring everything under his control.
(Aegean Sea)
This is the day the LORD has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
shall not perish,
but have eternal life.
Give thanks to the LORD,
for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
“His faithful love endures forever.”
“His faithful love endures forever.”
“His faithful love endures forever.”
The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.
Oh, please help us against our enemies,
for all human help is useless.
With God’s help we will do mighty things,
for he will trample down our foes.
Has the LORD redeemed you?
Then speak out!
Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
“LORD, help!”
they cried in their trouble,
and he rescued them from their distress.
Those who are wise will take all this to heart;
they will see in our history
the faithful love of the LORD.
Psalm 107:2, 6, 13, 19, 28, 43
May the glory of the LORD continue forever!
The LORD takes pleasure in all he has made!
The earth trembles at his glance;
the mountains smoke at his touch.
Psalm 104:31-32
And now,
Israel,
what does the LORD your God require of you?
He requires only that you fear the LORD your God,
and live in a way that pleases him,
and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul.
For the LORD your God
is the God of gods and Lord of lords.
He is the great God,
the mighty and awesome God,
who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
You must fear the LORD your God
and worship him and cling to him…
He alone is your God,
the only one who is worthy of your praise…
So obey the commands of the LORD your God
by walking in his ways and fearing him.
…be sure and praise the LORD your God
for the good land he has given you.
But that is the time to be careful!
Beware that in your plenty
you do not forget the LORD your God…
