Excerpts from Psalms

From Psalm 51

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your loving kindness;

according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Wash me through from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin...

Create in me a clean heart , O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your bountiful spirit...

O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.

Psalm 134

Behold, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,

you that stand by night in the house of the Lord.

Lift up your hands in the holy place and bless the Lord;

the Lord who made heaven and earth bless you out of Zion.

From Psalm 136

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his mercy endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of Gods,

for his mercy endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord of Lords

for his mercy endures forever.

The Gospel of John Chapter 9, verses 1-7

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world." Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

2 Cor. 4:4-6

The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

AMAZING GRACE click here for music

1 Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that

saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but

now am found, was blind but now I see.

2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that

grace appear the hour I first believed.

3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I

have already come; 'tis grace that brought me

safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

4 When we've been there ten thousand years, bright

shining as the sun, we've no less days to

sing God's praise than when we'd first begun.

May the incredible and amazing grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be always with you!
