00:18 Hi, everybody and welcome to this half hour "Praise."
00:22 I am Kelly Mowrer.
00:24 In Jeremiah Chapter 29 verses 11 and 12, we read,
00:28 "I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
00:31 Saith the Lord, thoughts of peace,
00:33 and not evil, to give you an expected end.
00:37 Then you shall call upon me,
00:39 and you shall go and pray unto me,
00:42 and I will hearken unto you."
00:57 I know it may seem hopeless
01:01 The darkness closes in
01:04 You're tired and you're weary
01:08 As you look at where you've been
01:11 You can see the only present
01:15 When you're looking at the past
01:18 You thought things would turn out differently
01:22 Then you hear God say at last
01:26 I know the plans I have for you
01:33 And they are plans to prosper you
01:40 To give you hope and a future
01:44 Lead you on life's journey
01:48 Call on me and I will see you through
01:54 I know the plans I have for you
02:05 The rocks and cliffs may leave some scars
02:09 You thought to leave to Him
02:12 You're desperate and you're broken
02:16 And lives seems all too weird
02:19 The road may take you on a path
02:23 That changes all your plans
02:26 But that's when God takes over
02:29 And says leave it in My hands
02:34 I know the plans I have for you
02:41 And they are plans to prosper you
02:48 To give you hope and a future
02:53 Lead you on life's journey
02:56 Call on me and I will see you through
03:02 I know the plans I have for you
03:09 And though your dreams may have died
03:13 You're hurting inside
03:17 God has something better for you
03:22 And He knows the plans He has for you
03:30 And they are plans to prosper you
03:37 To give you hope and a future
03:41 Lead you on life's journey
03:45 Call on Him and He will see you through
03:51 God knows the plans He has for you
08:14 Great is thy faithfulness,
08:20 O God my father
08:26 There is no shadow
08:31 of turning with Thee
08:37 Thou changes not,
08:42 Thy compassions, they fail not
08:48 As Thou hast been,
08:53 Thou for ever wilt be
08:59 Great is thy faithfulness
09:05 Great is thy faithfulness
09:10 Morning by morning
09:16 new mercies I see
09:21 All I have needed
09:27 thy hand hath provided
09:33 Great is thy faithfulness,
09:39 Lord unto me
09:53 Pardon for sin
09:58 and a peace that endureth
10:04 Thine own dear presence
10:08 to cheer and to guide
10:14 Strength for today
10:18 and bright hope for tomorrow
10:24 Blessings all mine,
10:30 with ten thousand beside
10:36 Great is thy faithfulness
10:42 Great is thy faithfulness
10:47 Morning by morning
10:52 new mercies I see
10:58 All I have needed
11:03 thy hand hath provided
11:09 Great is thy faithfulness
11:15 Great is thy faithfulness
11:21 Great is thy faithfulness
11:27 Lord unto me
11:56 Mr. and Mrs. Stead were married in 1875,
12:00 and they had a little girl, they named Lily.
12:02 When Lily was four years old, Mr. Stead and Mrs. Stead,
12:06 Louisa, decided to spend a family day together
12:09 on a sunny beach at Long Island Sound, New York.
12:12 While they were playing with Lily
12:14 and eating their picnic lunch,
12:15 they suddenly heard someone crying for help.
12:18 And they saw a boy drowning in the sea.
12:20 Mr. Stead ran into the water to help him,
12:23 but the boy struggled so desperately that he pulled
12:26 Mr. Stead under the water with him.
12:28 And they both drowned
12:30 as the reason Lily watched horrified.
12:32 After that terrible day and the--and the weeks
12:36 and the months that followed,
12:37 Louisa followed the words of God.
12:40 She cast her burden on the Lord and she found that
12:43 He is the only thing that sustained her.
12:45 And out of that experience, came her testimony
12:48 that she wrote for all of us to be comforted by.
12:50 Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
12:54 Just to take Him at His Word
12:56 Just to rest upon His promise
12:59 Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"
13:02 Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
13:04 How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
13:07 Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
13:11 Oh, for grace to trust Him more
16:14 He is able, more than able
16:23 To accomplish what concerns me today
16:30 He is able, more than able
16:38 To handle anything that comes my way
16:45 He is able, more than able
16:52 To do much more than I could ever dream
17:00 He is able, more than able
17:07 To make me what He wants me to be
17:14 He is able, more than able
17:23 To accomplish what concerns me today
17:29 He is able, more than able
17:37 To handle anything that comes my way
17:43 He is able, more than able
17:51 To do much more than I could ever dream
17:58 He is able, more than able
18:06 To make me what He wants me to be
18:14 And when I think of all His wisdom
18:18 I'm the scope of His plan
18:22 I can only fall down on my knees
18:25 And realize what I got
18:31 That He is able, more than able
18:41 To do much more than I could ever dream
18:49 He is able, more than able
18:59 To make me what He wants me to be
19:23 Whether we are sitting and listening
19:24 as Melissa King plays that hymn of Louisa Stead's
19:29 "Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him.
19:32 How I've proved Him o'er and o'er."
19:34 Or if we're listening to Jennifer singing,
19:37 "My God is able, more than able to accomplish
19:41 what concerns me today."
19:42 All of us can say with Paul,
19:45 "God will supply all my needs according to His riches
19:49 and glory by Christ Jesus."
19:53 Nearly 100 years ago, an unknown in Meir,
19:56 in an insane asylum was carried to his grave.
19:59 Afterward in his room, penciled on the wall
20:03 were found some lines of poetry that people believed
20:07 must have been in some moment of sanity
20:09 adapted from an old Jewish poem written
20:12 in 1096 by Rabbi Meir in Germany.
20:15 The words on that unknown insane asylum in Meir's room
20:19 were these, "Could we with ink the ocean fill.
20:23 And were the skies of parchment made,
20:26 were every stalk on earth a quill
20:29 and every man a scribe by trade.
20:32 To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry.
20:37 Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
20:41 though stretched from sky to sky."
20:43 And in 1917, a man named, Frederick Lyman
20:48 took a break from his work.
20:49 And he pushed an old lemon box up against a wall.
20:52 And sat down with the stub of pencil
20:54 and a piece of scrub paper and added two versus
20:57 in a chorus to that in Meir's poem.
21:00 The love of God is greater far
21:02 Than tongue or pen could ever tell
21:05 It goes beyond the highest star
21:08 And reaches to the lowest hell
21:10 It reaches you and it reaches me
21:13 The guilty pair, bowed down with care
21:16 God gave His Son to win
21:18 The erring child He reconciled
21:22 And pardoned from his sin
21:24 The love of God, how rich and pure
21:26 How measureless and strong
21:29 It shall forevermore endure
21:31 The saints' and angels' song
24:11 During eternity, we'll get to sit and talk with each other,
24:15 sharing the stories of how God has brought us
24:18 safely to be with Him forever.
24:21 The love and the faithfulness of God will be something
24:24 that we will continually praise Him for.
24:26 Listen now as we call this with Darrell singing,
24:30 "No one ever cared for me like Jesus."
24:39 I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus
24:47 Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true
24:54 I would tell you how He changed my life completely
25:01 For He did something that no other friend could do
25:11 No one ever cared
25:16 for me like Jesus
25:26 There's no other friend
25:31 so kind as He
25:39 No one else could take the sin
25:46 and darkness from me
25:56 O how much He care for me
26:04 For how much He care for me
26:09 Everyday He comes to me with new assurance
26:16 And more and more I understand His words of love
26:23 And I'll never know just why He came to save me
26:30 Till someday I see His blessed face above
26:40 No one ever cared
26:44 for me like Jesus
26:54 There's no other friend
26:58 so kind as He
27:08 No one else could take the sin
27:15 and darkness from me
27:23 O how much He care for me
27:31 O how much He care for me
27:38 O how much He care for me
27:49 O how much He care for me
