Then Jesus came and b his darkness fle. 7:53 When Jesus comes, the temptor's power is broken. When Jesus comes, the tears are wiped away. He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory. 8:11 For all is changed when Jesus comes to save. From home and friends, the evil spirits drove him among the tombs. He dwelt in 8:30 misery. He caught himself as demon powers possessed him. Then Jesus came and set the captives free. When Jesus comes, the temptor's power is broken. 8:49 When Jesus comes, the tears are wiped away. He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory. For all is changed when Jesus comes to save. Unclean, unclean. The labor cried in 9:13 torment. The deaf, the dumb in helplessness stood near.

He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory. We're all exchanged when Jesus comes to stay. So many today have found the Savior 10:44 able. They could not coner passion, lust, and sin.

And half the year is gone already and I was just wondering how quickly it's gone by. And at the start of the year, one of the elders reminded of reminded us of 16:02 this hymn, Take My Life and Let It Be. and even um mentioned one of the verses and said, "Let that be our prayer for this year." I don't know how well it's gone. Half the year's gone by. Some of us have stories to tell of 16:17 battles won. Some of us are still struggling in the fight. I have both. But I wanted to come again this morning and sing the song and recommmit and said, "Lord, I'll make this my prayer again." I love the words of the Apostle 16:29 Paul in Philippians 3:12. Not that I've already obtained it or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own because Christ Jesus has has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But 16:46 one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind me and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal of the upward call of the for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let this be our prayer, our 17:00 prayer of pressing on. Lord, we have stories of battles won, but we're also still struggling in the fight. Trials have beat us down, Lord. We're not where we wanted to be. But Lord, take my life and let it be all over again. Lord, for 17:13 the rest of this year, even if the first part was completely spoiled or gone to waste, Lord, take the rest of this year. Take my life and let it be. [Music] 17:26 Take my life and let it be concerrated Lord to thee. Take my moment and my days. 17:46 Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands and let them grow 18:09 at the inbounds of thy love. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for thee. 18:27 Swift and beautiful for thee. Take my voice and let me sing always 18:47 for my king. Take my lips and let them be filled with me from thee. fil with me 19:06 from me. Take my silver and my gold, not of my wood I withhold. 19:24 Make my intellect and use every power as thou shalt choose. Every power thou shalt choose. Take my will and make it thine. 19:52 It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is thine own. It shall be thy royal throne. 20:09 It shall be thy royal throne. Take my love, my Lord, I pour at thy feet 20:28 treasure store. Take myself and I will be ever only all for thee. 20:42 Ever only all for thee. [Music] The big words we just prayed Lord and sang. It's impossible Lord. Without your grace, without your spirit, Lord, without you indwelling us, Lord, without your power, without that same 21:02 resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, Lord, it's impossible to do, Lord. But this is our cry. This is our prayer. And this is our plea, Lord, that you give us your grace this morning, for the rest of this year, for 21:13 the rest of our lives, Lord. That it will ever always be only for you, Lord. That our hearts will be your royal throne. That we will pour our love out, Lord, at your feet. Everything we do, Lord, all of our ambitions, all of our plans will be 21:27 about you, Lord Jesus. Give us your spirit, Lord. Make us, make us obey, Lord. Help us, give us your strength and your grace this morning. Lord, it belongs not to whom I care 21:44 whe [Music] to love and serve. He is my share and this thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad 22:10 that I may long. Oy. If short yet why should I be sad to welcome endless day. Christ leads me through no darker rooms 22:34 and he went through before. [Music] He that unto God's kingom comes must enter by the storm. Come Lord when grace has made me neat. 22:58 Thy blessed face to sing. For if thy work on earth be sweet. What will thy glory be? [Music] So shall shall end my sad complaints 23:21 and weary sinful days and join with the triumphant saints passing my savior's praise. My knowledge of that life is small. 23:45 I offend his hand, but is enough that Christ knows all and I shall be with him. 24:00 But is enough that Christ knows all and I shall be with him. 24:12 [Music]
