00:17 Hello and welcome again to Praise. I'm Kelley Mowrer
00:21 You know a story is told about a dark and stormy night and a 00:25 little child lost in the streets of a large city. 00:28 A policeman found him crying and he gathered enough from his 00:32 story to figure out where he lived. So he gave him directions 00:35 and he said something like well just go down this street half 00:38 a mile, turn and cross the big iron bridge and then turn to 00:40 your right and follow the river a little way and you'll 00:43 see where you are. And the poor little kid only half 00:47 understanding and cold and scared from the storm turned 00:50 about sort of blindly and then another voice spoke in a kindly 00:54 tone and said just come with me. So that little hand was held in 00:58 a stronger hand and a corner of a warm coat was thrown over the 01:02 shoulders of that shivering little child and the way home 01:06 was made easy. The first man had told the way but the second 01:11 man became the way. This is exactly what the Lord Jesus 01:15 Christ did for us. Remember when Thomas asked him, Lord we don't 01:19 even know where you're going so how can we know the way? 01:23 Jesus answered, I am the way. Jesus is our way. He leads us 01:27 into truth. He is the light shining in our darkness, he is 01:31 our only hope now and always Our redeemer. 01:38 Jim Rhodes playing My Redeemer on piano and organ 01:42 ¤¤¤¤ 01:50 ¤¤ 03:33 Who Am I being sung by Darrell Marshall. 03:48 When I think of how he came 03:53 far from glory. 03:59 He came and dwelt 04:05 among the lowly such as I. 04:15 to suffer shame 04:18 and such disgrace 04:22 on Mt. Calvary take my place 04:28 Then I ask myself this question 04:35 Who am I? 04:43 Who am I that a king 04:49 would live and die for? 04:56 Who am I that He would pray 05:03 not my will but Thine for? 05:09 The answer I may never know 05:17 why He ever loved me so 05:23 that to an old rugged cross 05:30 He would go for who am I. 05:36 interlude 05:40 I'm reminded of these precious words 05:45 Jesus said, I'll leave thee never 05:49 if you'll be true 05:54 I'll give to you 06:00 a life forever. 06:04 I don't know what 06:08 I could have done 06:13 to deserve God's only Son 06:19 to fight my battles 06:23 till they're won, 06:27 for who am I? 06:32 Oh who am I 06:38 that a king would bleed 06:40 and die for? 06:45 Who am I that He would pray 06:52 not my will but Thine for. 06:59 The answer I may never know 07:07 why He ever loved me so 07:13 that to an old rugged cross 07:19 He would go, 07:23 to an old rugged cross 07:26 He would go, 07:28 to an old rugged cross 07:34 He would go, 07:38 for who am I 07:48 who am I? 07:58 Introduction to Jennifer La Mountain 08:24 singing You Thought of Us. 08:45 Look on Judas face, 08:50 the torches set ablaze, 08:56 the weapons drawn and raised, 08:59 the chill of night, 09:02 the friends who fled in fear, 09:07 the sound of Peter's tears, 09:12 the way the people cheered, 09:17 Crucify. 09:22 A nightmare coming true before your eyes. 09:28 What was it that was going through your mind? 09:35 You thought of us, 09:41 every one of us, 09:48 and all your love for us 09:51 caused you to stay. 09:55 You could have spared your life 10:00 and still had Paradise. 10:03 But even when the pain 10:06 we put you through 10:10 became too much, 10:16 You thought of us. 10:21 Interlude. 10:31 The hands that stripped you bare 10:34 the eyes that mocked and stared, 10:37 the laughter everywhere, 10:41 each stripe they made, 10:45 the needles running red, 10:49 the nails, the fight for breath, 10:53 the gaping door of death, 10:57 the awful taste, 11:01 you raged against the silence, 11:04 in the sky. 11:09 But when you asked for God 11:12 to tell you why, 11:18 You thought of us, 11:23 every one of us 11:27 and all your love for us 11:30 caused you to stay. 11:34 You could have spared your life, 11:38 and still had Paradise. 11:42 but even when the pain we put you through, 11:46 became too much 11:50 You thought of us. 11:54 And on that Sunday bright 11:57 so full of love and life 12:01 with angles left and right 12:05 to take you home, but first 12:09 you had to find someone 12:12 to share the joy in you 12:15 and who on earth 12:18 should be the first 12:23 to hear the news? 12:29 You thought of us. 12:35 And all your love for us 12:39 caused you to stay 12:43 we were the very ones 12:47 who turned away your love 12:51 but even when the pain we put you through 12:55 became too much 13:02 You thought of us. 13:30 The prophet Isaiah wrote, All we like sheep, that's me, that's 13:35 you, all of us, have gone astray we've wandered each one of us 13:40 into our own way and God laid on Christ the sin of us all. 13:45 He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised 13:49 for our iniquities and the chastisement that would bring 13:54 us peace was on him and with his stripes we are healed. 13:59 Via Dolorosa being played by Reggie Samuel... 14:21 ¤¤ 15:08 ¤¤ 15:43 ¤¤ 16:46 Jennifer La Mountain singing The Wondrous Cross 17:07 When I survey 17:10 the wondrous cross 17:15 on which the prince 17:19 of glory died. 17:23 My richest gain 17:27 I count but loss 17:31 and pour contempt 17:37 on all my pride. 17:42 See from his head 17:47 his hands, his feet, 17:51 sorrow and love 17:56 flow mingled down 18:00 Did e'er such love 18:04 and sorrow meet 18:08 or thorns compose 18:14 so rich a crown. 18:19 Oh the wonderful cross 18:30 bids me come and dine 18:32 and find that I may truly live. 18:35 Oh the wonderful cross 18:41 all who gather here 18:46 by grace drawn in 18:50 and bless you name. 18:55 We're the whole realm 18:59 of nature mine, 19:03 that were an offering 19:08 far too small; 19:13 Love so amazing, so divine, 19:20 Demands my life, my soul, my all 19:31 Oh the wonderful cross, 19:40 bids me come and dine 19:42 and find that I may truly live. 19:47 Oh the wonderful cross, 19:53 all who gather here 19:57 by faith drawn in 20:00 may bless your name 20:05 Love so amazing 20:11 so divine 20:16 demands my soul, 20:25 my life, my all. 20:34 Remember the verse in Isaiah that I said just before Reggie 20:38 played that the punishment that Jesus suffered was so that we 20:41 would have peace, so that we would be healed. What is in your 20:45 life today that you desperately want him to heal? We all have 20:48 the stuff, stuff we've been carrying around for so long 20:52 we're just plain tired of it.
