the lives we live are being noticed by those around us and the 5:00 chorus says oh may all who come behind us find us faithful may the fire of our devotion light their way it's one thing for the lord to save us and to make us like jesus but are there others around us and the people around us 5:16 and the people around us and the people around us are there people around us our children our neighbors our co-workers our spouses our relatives seeing the footprints that we leave just like jesus left his footprints that will lead them also to believe in the lives that we live 5:27 inspire them to obey this is what i want i want others around me who see my obedience to be inspired to obey themselves and it's a good thing for us to think about as we reach the end of another year have i lived in such a way that others around me are inspired to follow jesus more wholeheartedly 5:47 and those who've gone before us line the way cheering on the things encouraging encouraging the weary and lies a sterling testament to god's sustaining 6:12 grace surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses let us run the race not only for the prize but as those who've gone before us let us lead to those behind us 6:37 the heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives oh may all who come behind us find us faithful may the fire of our devotion light the way 7:01 may the footprints that we lead lead them to believe and the lives we live inspire them to obey oh may all who come behind us find us faithful 7:22 and all our hopes and dreams have come and gone and our children sit through all we've left behind and our children sit through all we've left behind may the clues that they help us lord make it so oh may all who come behind us find us faithful 7:49 oh may the fire of our devotion light the way may the fire of our devotion light the way may the footprints that we leave lead them to believe 8:13 we lead lead them to believe and the lives we live inspire them to believe

footprints that we lead lead them to believe may the footprints that we lead lead them to believe yes lord and the lives we live inspire them to obey oh may all who come behind us find us faithful 9:29 can we pray for a few minutes together is this the cry of your heart as well the lord would do something he's left us here as his church a living expression of the body of christ not just waiting for him to take us home to heaven but to take as many with us as we can 9:46 to touch even one more life this week if we can not out of burden not out of guilt but because god has poured about his love within us shed abroad his love in our hearts pray with me family it's your prayer that the lord wants to hear thank you father we exalt you and praise you give 10:02 you all the glory and honor you're worthy of praise thank you for what you've done thank you for making a way of salvation lord that included me unworthy as i am even now lord unworthy thank you for including me in your plan of

Great is Thy faithfulness. Great is Thy faithfulness. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me. 21:19 He's a good, good shepherd. And so we need not fear anything. Let me read the words of this next song. From the love of my own comfort. The last line says, deliver me, Lord. Deliver me from the love of my own comfort. Deliver me from the fear of having nothing. 21:39 Deliver me from a life of worldly passions. Deliver me from the need to be understood. Deliver me from the need to be accepted. These are the things the world seeks. This is the source of insecurity in the world. Deliver me from the fear of being lonely. 21:56 Deliver me from the fear of serving others. Deliver me from the fear of death or trial. Deliver me from the false fear of humility. What will happen if I'm humble? Deliver me. Deliver me, O Father. And I shall not want. 22:14 When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. I shall have no want. From the fear of my own comfort. From the fear of having nothing. From the fear of having nothing. From the life of worldly passions. 22:41 Deliver me, O God. Deliver me, O God. From the need to be understood. From the need to be understood. From the need to be accepted. From the fear of being lonely. 23:06 Deliver me, O God. And I shall not want. No, I shall not want. 23:29 When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. From the fear of serving others. 23:52 From the fear of death or trial. From the fear of humility. Deliver me, O God. 24:13 Deliver me, O God. And I shall not want. No, I shall not want. When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. 24:35 When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. 24:58 When I taste your goodness, I shall not want. Okay, we'll sing one more song. It's another old hymn. 25:18 We actually do know the author. We'll put it up on their screen next time. It's an old Salvation Army hymn. How quickly life here passes on its way. And you'll soon reach the evening of your day. How quickly life here passes on its way. 25:40 You soon will reach the evening of your day. Be there for good and tender to each one. Who journeys with you till life's day is gone. 26:02 Be there for good and tender to each one. Who journeys with you till life's day is done. The hands that serve you thankfully receive. 26:25 There enters death and bitterly you breathe. How quickly come if that unbidden one. Oh, before it's too late. Then it's too late to do what is not done. 26:46 How quickly come if that unbidden one. Then it's too late to do what is not done. Before we move on. You know what it's talking about here. While you have the opportunity of loved ones around you. 27:07 People around you to whom you must show appreciation. The hands that have served you. Receive them thankfully. Even if it's a grocery store checkout person. Or somebody else that's serving you in some way. Here in the church. 27:21 In your home especially. Receive it thankfully. Receive it thankfully and learn to say thanks. And express that gratitude to your spouse. To your children. To your parents. Oh children that you will learn this at a young age. 27:33 More and more there's ungratefulness growing. And that's the source of all kinds of evil and depravity. Learn to say thank you. Learn to be thankful. One day death will come in. Even the loved ones around you will depart. 27:45 And it will be too late then to say thanks. Let's sing verse 3. While beats the heart. Bound close to you in love. Of mother, father, children, husband, wife. Oh show them love. Oh show them love. 28:08 Ere they depart from you. Despite their faults. Show them love. You know yourself. What loving deeds can do. Even if you see their balls. 28:49 Oh children, care not to forget at all. How often you yourself did come to fall. Then take good care not to forget at all. 29:11 How often you yourself did come to fall. fault finding causing other souls to grieve. Is easy, if you can't bear a soul just as He is. 29:35 If you can't bear a soul just as He is. Then your reward from God you'll surely miss. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. 29:59 From God you'll surely miss. If you can't bear a soul. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. You know what we just say. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. 30:10 If you can't bear a soul just as He is. Think about this in your homes. Think about this in your homes with your children. With your siblings. Think about this with your co-workers, with neighbors, other people on the road. 30:20 If you can't bear a soul just as He is. How can you say you know God who has loved you the way you are. Even while you are His enemy. If you can't bear a soul just as He is. Then your reward from God you'll surely miss. 30:42 If you can't bear a soul just as He is. Then your reward from God you'll surely miss. How oft have you God's Holy Spirit grieved. 31:05 And yet His love so richly you've received. The bonds of love keep strong in all you do. Do unto others as God does to you. 31:28 The bonds of love keep strong in all you do. Do unto others as God does to you. Help us Lord. The bonds of love keep strong in all you do. 31:53 Do unto others as God does to you. you
