 Lyrics:

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want for anything
Then my soul is thirsty Living water He brings.
In the righteous path My Saviour leads me
Jesus is all that I have, He's all that I need

Thou anointest my head with oil,
My cup overflows.
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me
Everywhere that I go.
Though I walk through the valley of death,
He'll be with me.

Jesus is all that I have,
He's all that I need
Jesus is all that I have,
He's all that I need
Leads me besides still waters
And pastures of All the days of my life
His Mercy shall follow me.
Jesus is all that I have,
He's all that I need.

'Soldiers of the Lion!'

Lyrics, Chuck GirardThe field is white and frosty, the hour is drawing near

The battle lines are being drawn as the hour of dawn appears
In the stillness of the morning, the air is crisp and charged
With the tension of the battle, and the enemy at large
The battlefield is crowded, but the soldiers here are few
Yet the enemy is held at bay, no weapon can get through
Our tiny band of warriors continue in our stand
And as new soldiers join us, we prepare to take the land

We form a line of conquest, like fire our armor shines
With unshakable advancement, we move against the lines
Our swords are drawn and ready, and our numbers grow each day
We'll soon be fully strengthened and we'll blow the troops away!

Chorus:
We're the soldiers of the Lion, we're the army of the light
The unstoppable battalion that drives away the night
And the Lion is our standard, and we know we cannot die
'Cause the mighty name of Jesus is our sovereign battle Cry!

We move against the forces of the father of all lies
And the enemy is forced to flee before our very eyes
For no demon can resist us or begin to stand against
An army fully armored, no! Hell has no defense!
So look out powers of darkness, your hour has finally come
Our commander's name is Jesus, and we've got you on the run
​
And we'll charge you and we'll route you
With the Spirit's mighty sword
You've had this planet long enough,
You know you're not our Lord!
So get back to outer darkness, and you leave the saints alone
Your weapons cannot prosper, we're commissioned by the
Throne!

Hillsong Worship

Thank you for the cross, Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace.

Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace.

Chorus:
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb.

Thank you for the cross, Lord (thank you)
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace.

Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace.

Hymn United Them ... They Sang:
‘SING HALLELUJAH TO THE LORD’
All night; nine hours
 
6-26-19, UmNews.org -- A Christian hymn has become the focal point for Hong Kong protesters who gathered for three major demonstrations against a proposed law that would allow extraditions to mainland China.
 
Protesters began to sing the American hymn “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord” and they sang non stop all night for nine hours. The hymn’s impact on defusing tensions was nothing short of miraculous. One Methodist pastor said the song has become the anthem of the whole movement.
 
A Methodist pastor from Hong Kong, talks about recent protests in Hong Kong. He said, “Our congregation has long understood following Jesus to be inseparable from participation in liberation movements in our own community, around the world or during this moment of turmoil on the streets of Hong Kong. For me, it’s a miracle.” He said what happened was a group of pastors organized a 72-hour prayer vigil for the situation in Hong Kong. On the night of June 11, 2019 after prayers, some people started to sing the hymn, which has a simple, repetitive chorus: "'Sing hallelujah to the Lord.' Amazingly, that night they could not stop. They sang for the whole night, about nine hours.”

The testimony of Kris Kristofferson will bring tears to your eyes:
"I had a profound religious experience [1972] - walked to the front of that church and found myself weeping in front of all those people ... and song 'Why Me?' came out of it." -- Kris Kristofferson

Lyrics:
Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known?

Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you

Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.

Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

The Enemies Destroyed Themselves
2 Chronicles 20:20-22

In the Wilderness of Tekoa as the people of Judah and Jerusalem set out early in the morning, King Jehoshaphat stood up saying:

“Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”

Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing:

“Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”

The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
Hallalujah!

Matthew 14:30-31

12-14-18, * -- In one of the most frequently repeated scenes in Looney Tunes, a character, Wile E. Coyote, often runs headlong off a cliff and continues running through thin air—until he looks down. Once he realizes the potential danger, he falls with a stupendous crash. 

For Looney Tunes watchers, the Apostle Peter’s experience of walking on water may seem faintly familiar. As the disciples were on a boat in the Sea of Galilee, they saw a figure walking near them. Although they suspected it was a ghost, Jesus assured them it was in fact Him (Matthew 14:26–27). Peter then appeared to have sought proof, saying to Jesus, “Tell me to come to you on the water” (Matthew 14:28). When Jesus did, Peter began to boldly walk toward Him.

Unlike Wile E. Coyote, Peter’s defiance of physics began not by accident, but with an expression of faith in the Lord Jesus; believing in His power. Peter saw Him heal people and raise Lazarus from the dead (John 11:43) so of course he believed Jesus wouldn't let him sink.

Yet the Peter, like Wile E. Coyote, soon realized the potential danger and began to plummet. When a strong wind blew, Peter went from faith to fear. Still, his faith did not entirely disappear; for he had enough to cry out to Jesus for help: “Lord, save me!” (Matt 14:30). Jesus did not hesitate to save He reached out “immediately” (Matt 14:31).

Those who follow Christ may find themselves in situations of danger or distress. However, we know we can enter into them with the faith that enables us to walk through the seemingly impossible and Jesus gives us strength and peace to plunge ahead. [1 Timothy 1:17]

The classic hymn “How Firm a Foundation” 
depicts God promising: 

​How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word
What more can He say than to you He hath said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with thee; oh be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters I call thee to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress

When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.

Pray for the faith that all distresses will serve God’s purposes, and trust in His power to sustain you.

Psalm 68:4

"THE WARRIOR"
Lyrics by, Chuck Girard
​
"There's a long, low cry from the heavens
As the wind blows the skin right off the trees
And the thunder splits the sky, as the silent Warrior dies
And the Spirit rips the veil, as the wind slows to a breeze

There's a long, low cry from the heavens
As the wind blows the skin right off the trees
And the heavens filled with rage, as they closed the final page
It was written, now it is finished and it will last throughout the ages

The red drops dripping slowly down as they sink into the earth below
Mixing with the wetness from the rain above,
It was sunny just a moment ago
The precious drops of his lifeblood flow,

Down the brow of His battered face
You'd think you were looking at a nasty dream
From the bottom of the depths of space
Was a moment in time when the world stood still,

As the plan took its final course
All the darkness from the past and the woe to come
Were defeated in the final divorce
As the scripture read, His side was pierced,

Still there came no cry of pain
For His spirit was in flight to it's rightful home
As the last of His lifeblood drained

There's a long, low cry from the heavens
As the wind blows the skin right off the trees
And the early light of day, shines it's early morning rays
On two silent figures there, as they roll the stone away."
