Thank you. for demonstrating your love and concern by your presence here today. It's good to see such a Such a large number of people. Berkey, as she was often called, had a Quite a cadre of friends. She had a way of making friends.
She had the kind of personality that just reached out to me. everyone and drew them in and you know that and that's why you're here. are her friend in some way or another over the years. If I was trying to Think of one phrase that would summarize who she is. I think I would s call her miss personality because she really had the kind of personality that just made the room light up whenever she came in.
And so it's always a shock when When someone dies young, relatively young. Because of our expectations, we think that. Everybody ought to live till they're seventy or eighty, but of course that's not true, but We somehow Think that way. And then when someone is taken suddenly as Brooke Faust was, it is quite a shock. And yet we know that the Lord does all things well.
God is the one who gave her life nearly thirty-eight years ago. God is the one who took her life a couple of weeks ago. I appreciate Johnny and Pam. Waiting until I got back from Africa so that I could. I have a part in this service today.
Someone Pointed out that nearly every time I go to Africa, we have a death or two in the church. It happened again this time. I came back to two funerals, one on Thursday and one today. But we are here to consider the word of truth that comes from the Bible. We are here to remember the life that God gave and to give Him glory.
for the life that he gave and most importantly, for the eternal life that we have seen evidence that he gave to Brooke Faust. And so thank you for coming today. I also need to tell you that we will be having a finger food reception in the fellowship hall following the service today. and we hope you all will come. You are all invited.
And if you will come and spend some time. talking to the family and to one another. It's been so good to see people today that I haven't seen for years and years and years. I always wanted to mention a name or two, but I better not get started on that. But uh isn't it a shame?
Sometimes we don't see people unless it's a funeral or a wedding. But we're glad that we do have those opportunities, and we're glad you've come today. But let us consider for a moment two passages of scripture, both from the Gospel of John. And both are words that the Lord Jesus Christ said that we need to Keep in mind, harbor in our hearts, and think about. John chapter 11 is the account of the death and the resurrection of Lazarus.
a close friend of the Lord Jesus. And when Jesus arrived at the scene, Lazarus had been dead now for four days. And we read in John 11, 21, Now Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here. My brother would not have died. She had seen the Lord heal many people.
keeping them alive when they were struggling with serious illnesses. But it didn't Did not cross her mind that though Lazarus had died and had been dead for four days that Jesus could do anything about that. But she's about to learn how powerful he is. She's about to know. that he is the author of life.
But the text goes on, but even now, I know whatever you ask of God, God will give you. Jesus said to her, Your brother will rise again. Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again and the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection. and the life.
He who believes in me, though he may die, He shall live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? She said to him, Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Christ.
the Son of God. who has come into this world. And then the familiar words in John chapter 14. Christ is just days away from his own death and departure. And his disciples are finally beginning to understand.
Still not fully, but finally beginning to understand that he is going to die. And that knowledge is difficult for them. And Jesus said, Let not your heart Be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in me.
In my father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself. That where I am, There you may be also.
And where I go, you know, and the way you know. Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way. The truth. and the life.
No one comes to the Father. Except. Through me. Shall we pray? Almighty God.
Father, Of the Lord Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father of all who trust in Christ. We come to you today, O Lord, because we Love you because you first loved us. We trust you because you are trustworthy. And, Father, we come to you today to find the help and strength that we need. to hear the truth from your word that will Strengthen us in the inner man.
and will help us to look to you during this time. of difficulty. as we consider the loss to us of this one who was loved among us, But oh, what a gain for her She who was in this world of tears and sorrow and pain and difficulty. is now in that place where there is no death. There is no pain.
There is no sorrow. and where she is forever with the Lord.
So, Father, we look to you for the help and strength that you can give us at this time. And we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Please take a hymnal. There are hymnals in the pew.
For those of you on the front row, they're underneath. And for the rest of you, they are on the racks in front of you and turn to number 247. A familiar hymn, I trust Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found. was blind. But now I see.
We'll sing stanzas one, two, and Six, one, two, and six, shall we stand and sing together. Uh How sweet the sound and save the rest by me I once was lost, but now I'm found was one, but now I see that all my heart you fear and praise my fears really how precious the Praise Universe, we are thy first believe when we then left ten thousand years by shining best for sun we bow as faith to sing God's praise when when we first be done Thank you. be seated.
Well, I first of all want to thank. John and Pam. for allowing me to take part today. Most memorial s uh services I have something in common. A measure of joy.
and a measure of tears. The joy flows from shared memories. The tears from missing them now. But for a Christian There's a balance. There's joy.
There's tears. And there's a living hope. I've been asked to share some Memories. And I've gotten up with some of Brooks friends. And uh I think that they'll be interesting and I trust a blessing to her parents.
Before I share memories from her friends. I want to begin with a rather unique memory from when I coached Brooke in girls basketball. The girls' basketball team at Grace Christian and Sanford was undefeated. With a mischievous smile on her face, Brooke came to me and said, Hey, coach. If we beat grace, Will you let us paint your nails?
A bit taken back, I jokingly replied, You beat Grace and you can paint my nails. Have you ever heard the statement, fools rush in where angels dare not dread? We be graced by One point. The girls painted my nails quite creatively. The coaches meeting was the next day.
It was interesting. They were merciless. But we had the last laugh. Grace went on to stay undefeated after playing us. and they had one loss on the season.
I contacted some friends who grew up with Brooke to get some insights into who she was to them, and I combined the statements by Blair and Brandon Counts and Caleb Nance because they kind of overlapped. You could see a theme in them. As I read what they shared, it'll be evident that Brooks had a colorful and active childhood, to say the least. One friend mentioned how kind she was. how eager to help, how funny, and always smiling or laughing, in ways that were infectious.
Another friend recalled how Brooke babysat him because she was nine months older than he was. I'm sure that was interesting. The only thing that they ate all summer was mac and cheese because it's all she was allowed to cook. Nevertheless, they didn't eat mac and cheese for some time after that. Beach trips with other families, catching crawdads, building forts, riding their bikes everywhere.
Emerald Point, Celebration Station, playing indoor and outdoor soccer, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the back of a Honda Odyssey. They all played a part in a childhood of adventure and fun. Another friend mentioned a tradition of Sunday night pizza after church at Gerald and May Count's home. I found their game of boogeyman. outdoors at night rather intriguing.
I gathered from what was written that the Boogie Man was none other than Johnny Faust.
Some things never change. Watching Brooke and Shannon play soccer and basketball at ACS was also a common memory for the guys. Pam, in reading these memories, I got the distinct impression that you and Tammy kept the train on the rails. That brings her to her closest friend growing up, Shannon Count Sloop. She shared the following.
Quote. I don't just have one memory with Brooke. because she encompasses every childhood memory I have. She was my best friend growing up. Our lives were intertwined from family vacations, sports, school, church.
everything in between. She was part of my family. And I was part of hers. How truly blessed I was to grow up with someone like Brooke. by my side.
Another one of her coaches, Mrs. Tina Riedling, wrote an excellent reflection of her time coaching Brooke. It's too long to read in its entirety, but I've sent it to. Johnny and Pam, but I I do want to share the three headings that Mrs. Riedland gave.
She says that Brooke characterized unending tenacity. She had natural leadership. And she had an undaunted spirit. And then this. She ended her comments with the following statement.
even without knowing that it was her last week this side of heaven. Brooke was encouraging others to take responsibility for their own relationship with the Lord. pushing them. not to set their eyes upon people who will disappoint them. but to look to Christ.
And folks, in closing, perhaps the most important things about Brooke happened in the last year or so. After an extended time away from Beacon, she returned. She attended this adult Sunday school class that I teach, and her interest and faithfulness were truly a blessing to me. Brooke applied for church membership and was going through our disciple book with Marty Bartman. When asked, By Marty, what prompted Brooke to join Beacon?
She responded, quote, Why should I look for another church? when this is where I hear truth. It became obvious to those who knew Brooke, both at Beacon and away from Beacon, that she'd made some major changes in her life. Her growth in the Lord was evident. and a tremendous encouragement to all of us.
Praise God, Brooke Faust. was and is a trophy of God's grace. Though my eyes can see. You are always good. Looking back, I can see your fingerprints upon my life.
Always seeking my best. Their words. Times when you would make no sense, but as you said, you have never loved Left you. You are always good, you're only good. You are always good to me Who my eyes can see.
Help my claws. believe you You are war. Always hold. Only cool. Looking in, I can see.
My frailty, my sin is great and my strength is so small. Still you say and your mercy shelters me. You hold my hand and you hear my call. You are always good. You are only good.
You are always good to me. Though my eyes can't see. Help my heart. Believe you're always It's only good looking all I can see your sympathy. I doubt myself.
But aren't sure of your love? His grace was worth all. Calvary securing me for my home. You are always good. You are always good to me.
Though my eyes can't see, help my heart believe. You are always only good. You are always good only. You are good. Amen.
Thank you. As the Lord ordained it, I was in Africa. Leaving shortly after Brooke died. And there I spent some time with the WAS. And particularly, not La Vernewa, of course, as well as.
Sarah Kate. Who many of you know? who was a very good friend of Brooks. In fact, she had not heard of Brooke's death, and when I told her, it hit her like a ton of bricks. She loved Brooke and she was devastated to hear the news.
In fact, I have. Johnny and Pam in my pocket a Letter that Sarah Kate wrote for you and I will gladly give that to you after. the service today. I had many. times to have conversations with Brooke.
She spent some time at our house, as already has been mentioned. Marty was discipling her through the workbook that we use. for those who come into membership here at Beacon, but even before that, Um we had some things around the house that we needed some help with and she had some time on her hands. And so we were able to have her there. to help us with those things.
And it was just a joy to talk to her and to see the evidence of the Lord's working in her life. She was very Okay. clear about the fact that she had made a number of bad choices. and that she suffered the consequences. of the bad choices which she made.
She Had professed to be a follower of Jesus Christ, I guess, from her earlier. Earliest years on. But there was some question about that because of these bad choices, which seem to trip her up again and again and again. But there was a change when when Brooke came out of prison where she spent some time because She had driven an automobile when she was intoxicated. I hit a van with children in it, and it was a very serious matter.
But when she came out of prison, I don't think she could have. pointed to an exact time and date, but She was a changed person. The Lord worked in her heart and that That uh Profession of faith that she had probably held on to for years had now become a reality. in her soul. And we could see that.
It was so clear. She loved the Lord. She loved His word. She loved others. She talked to people about their need of Christ.
and not to make the mistakes she made, but Even if You do, as she did, and all of us do. We all make mistakes. Uh the more accurate term for mistake is sin. We all sinned. But there is a remedy.
And Brooke had found the remedy. in the Lord Jesus Christ, and she knew that her sins were forgiven. And she loved to tell other people what Christ has done for her and what he would do for them as well.
Okay. It's probably been about 15 years ago now. We had a man who showed up in a church service one day. And he came several times after that, and he was from the country of India. And had um growing up in the Hindu religion.
And he came to the United States to work. He was very proficient with technology, computer technology, and that sort of thing. And so he was working about 40, 50 miles away from Burlington, but was working with one of the men Who was a member of our church who invited him to church, and he came and he listened, and it was all new to him. He had never been in a church before. He had never looked at a Bible before.
He had never heard the Word of God before. And he was curious. He wanted to understand what is this Christian religion that is different from the. Religion that I grew up with. And he came to me after the service, after probably been here four or five times.
And he said, Would it be possible for me to purchase a hymn book? And I said It would be possible for you to purchase a hymn book, but I'll do you one better. I'll give you a hymn book. But I said, Why do you want a hymn book? And he said, Well, I've realized.
in sitting in these services and and opening the hymn book and singing the hymns with you. He said, I realized if I will pay attention to the words of the hymns that you sing, I will understand what the Christian religion is all about. And I said, bingo.
Now that will only happen if you're singing good hymns. But He took that hymnal and that enabled him to understand What Christianity. is all about. With that in mind today, I want to call attention to a familiar hymn, and I want to. Use that to help explain the gospel.
which is my assignment. I was given one assignment today. Preach the gospel. And so I'm going to do that, but I'm going to do that by using... A very familiar hymn.
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins. And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. The writer of that here and By the way, it's found in our hymnal, and we'll sing it at the close of the service. But the writer, William Cooper, If you read his name, it looks like Cowper, but it's pronounced Cooper. struggled mightily.
in his life. with his faith in Christ that seemed to come and go and wane and And um He was a troubled man. He wanted to trust in Christ, but he had trouble believing that Christ had truly saved him and being able to cast himself fully upon the Lord. He lived at one time in London and was so discouraged and disturbed that he decided to end his own life and he headed for the London Bridge one night. He was going to cast himself off into the Thames River.
But the famous London fog was so thick he lost his way and couldn't find the bridge. And his life was spared. by God. And he did live on beyond that for quite a while. He spent his latter years with John Newton, the author of the first hymn We Sang, Amazing Grace.
How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. Um William Cooper went to to Olney, the town where where John Newton was pastoring. Newton had been saved out of a notoriously sinful life. as a slave trader. Taking captured people from Africa and transporting them to.
To um to England and to the islands of the Caribbean. was a notoriously wicked man in so many ways. But God reached down and saved him, and he had a wonderful testimony. He wrote about that in so many different ways, and he pastored a church for many years. And he was a good friend to William Cooper and helped him to.
to fasten his faith upon Christ and upon the Word of God. And I'm not sure at what point in his life he wrote this hymn, but. I have Two words. that I'm going to draw from each stanza of this hymn, and I hope This will be helpful to you. There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunged.
beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. In this stanza, I see number one, Provision. And number two, cleansing. There is A fountain. Filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins.
That's the provision. It is symbolic language, of course. It's talking about the death of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross, who shed his blood. Shed his blood as a sacrifice unto God.
so that guilty sinners might have their guilt paid for by a substitute. The Lord Jesus Christ, who died in the place, who took the judgment that was due unto sinners, but he took that unto himself so that. My punishment can be Can be resolved, has been resolved by the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross. Provision. Yes, we are sinners.
We've all made mistakes. We've all made big mistakes. We've all made bad mistakes. We have all sinned, as the Bible makes very clear, and come short of the glory of God, come short of the Reasonable expectations of God that the creatures to whom He gives life will obey Him with the life that He has given to them. But all of us have strayed from that.
We have sinned against God. We have broken His commandments. We have gone our own way. But God did not leave us to ourselves. That's an amazing thing.
It is indeed amazing grace. Have you ever thought about the fact that God created angels as well as? human beings. And a good number of the angels rebelled against God. They sinned against Him, Satan being the chief.
But there were an innumerable number of angels, fallen angels, we call them demons now, who sinned against God. And have you ever thought about the fact that God did not make a provision for the cleansing of their sin. None. They sinned. and they are condemned eternally.
to judgment because of their sin. Be careful how you evaluate that statement. But what that tells us is The god didn't owe. A provision to the human race. He was perfectly just.
In condemning fallen angels to eternal perdition. He could have done the same thing. to the fallen sons and daughters of Adam. But God in His grace made provision and therefore there is a fountain. where sinners may be cleansed.
The second word, on that first verse. That fountain, sinners plunged beneath that flood. Sinners who avail themselves of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ do what? Lose. All There.
guilty stain. Every sin Cleansed. The second stanza says, The dying thief. Rejoice to see that fountain in his day. And there may I Though vile as he, Wash all my sin.
Sends rather away. I see in that stanza two words. Number one, Example And number two, encouragement. We have an example. of a sinner who was saved.
In the last hour, the dying thief. Rejoiced. to see that fountain in his day. He saw it. hanging upon the cross.
What? did that thief do? To be assured by Christ Himself, today you will be with me in paradise. In other words, to hear the words that you are forgiven. You are cleansed.
You are saved. You are heavenbound. What did that dying thief do to receive such a great blessing? He didn't do any good works. He was fastened to the cross.
He wasn't baptized in water, though that's something that every Christian should obediently do, but he had no opportunity to do that. He was nailed to a cross. There wasn't a single thing he could do. for salvation except just to believe in Jesus. And he did.
And he was cleansed. The Dying Thief. Rejoice to see that fountain in his day. And he's an example. And that goes on to say, and there may I, though vile is he.
And that is hard for us to admit. But dear friends, please understand. Every one of us. are sinners Equal to the sinfulness of that dying thief. You say, I'm not that bad.
Take the other. Position. Jesus came to save sinners. The only way you can qualify for salvation. is to acknowledge you're a sinner.
He didn't come to Call the righteous. but sinners to repentance. People who see themselves as good. will never go to heaven. People who acknowledge that they are bad and will cast themselves in their sinful condition.
upon the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that cleansing fountain which he provided on the cross of Calvary Those sinners will go to heaven. What an encouragement. There's a third stanza. Dear Dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power Till all the ransom Church of God be saved to sin no more.
What do I see here? Promise? and prospect. Dear dying lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power. The power that was evidenced by that occasion would Jesus pronounce that thief And a citizen of heaven, today you shall be with me in paradise.
The blood that Christ shed upon the cross that availed for that thief that was dying right next to him on the cross. That The power of the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ continues on and on and on and on and on for more than 2,000 years. And it has never lost its saving power. It's still available for those who will come to the Lord Jesus Christ. What a wonderful truth.
What a wonderful promise. And the prospect is it will never lose its power till all the ransom church of God be saved to sin no more. There is a prospect of that day when a great host to every one. Every everyone. That God has seen and God has named as his belonging to him and to be in the church that he has accumulated out of every tongue and tribe and nation.
The day will come when that church is complete, when that body is complete, when that bride of Christ is complete. What a prospect. You can thank God. That that day hasn't come yet, because when that day comes, the door will be closed. But it's still open.
It's still open. Dear dying lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power until. All the ransom church of God be saved. to sin no more. Since Christ hasn't returned, Since it's clear that the last One who is going to be saved has not yet been saved.
There's Hope. There's promise. There's an opening in the door of salvation for any. who will acknowledge himself, herself a sinner. and cast themselves upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
This stanza. Ere since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme. and shall shall be till I die. In that stanza, the two words I've chosen are Acquisition and transformation. How does a sinner acquire?
Salvation. How does a sinner bring to themselves the wonderful promise of salvation in Jesus Christ. Er since Bye. Faith. That's it.
By Faith. What is faith? Believing. The Word of God. and acting according to that word.
Ere since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply. Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die. That's transformation. Those who trust in the Lord Jesus Christ are transformed. Here's a sinner who's been living for himself and caring nothing about the things of God, and now he's been transformed by the power of God, and what's his main focus in life, to bring honor and glory to God.
Redeeming love has been my theme. That's what I want to talk about. That's what I want to sing about. That's what I want to live for. and shall be till I die.
Transformation. You see, the new birth changes hearts and changes lives. We saw that. In the life of Brooke, we saw that. The brook we saw of late The last year or so around here is not the same brook.
that we saw years ago. She had been transformed. She had a new prospect a new A whole new desire, a whole new focus, a whole new goal for her life. You probably don't know, but she was being. Seriously considered as the possible new director of the.
a women's shelter for Piedmont Rescue Mission. That facility hasn't been finished yet. But she might have done that if God had left her here. I don't know. Wouldn't that be something?
Wouldn't that be something? But she understood the saving grace of God. She understood the change that salvation makes in hearts. She understood that the vilest of sins can be made whole, can be made Clean by the blood of Jesus Christ. She was an excellent one to talk to these.
ladies who will be coming to that home. who usually have children that that uh have no Um No husband around. to care for them. who have sin to have made Grievous mistakes in their lives, but what better person to help them and direct them? To the Lord than someone who's been through some of these things and understands.
Transformation. And finally, This verse When this poor lisping stammering Tongue. lies silent in the grave. Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing. Thy power to save.
Two words. Termination. Glorification. Mm-hmm. Folks, we all know this.
It is appointed unto man once to die. We Will Die. I Will Die. You Will Die. The only difference Between me and Brooke at this point is that she has already died and I'm going to die and so are you.
It's not if this poor lisping, stammering tongue will. lie silent in the grave. When? When? It's coming.
That day is coming. And when that day comes, It'll be too late to call upon the Lord. You need to call upon him while you're living. You need to call upon him while he's given you breath. There is a termination point.
I don't know when it'll be. Who would have thought when Brooke went to work that day that she would Never leave that place of business alive. Nobody, nobody imagined that.
Okay. But that's what happened. What if she'd not been ready? What if she said, I'm going to take care of that, but I've got a few things I need to take care of first. I know I need to call on Christ, but I've got some things I need to take care of.
I know I ought to be going to church and hearing the word of God, but I'll do that. I'm going to do that for sure one of these days, and then bang. She dropped dead. Thankfully, She had not. Put that off.
before her termination date came. But it's an interesting paradox in this stanza. when this poor lisping stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Then While that body's in the grave, then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save. The soul is not In the grave.
The soul, the life. The intelligence, the personality. the never dying soul. is with the Lord. Singing his praises, then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save.
She's singing that now. And she's saying, listen to what the preacher's saying. He's telling you the truth. We're going to die, folks, every one of us. The only question is, are we going to die believing in Jesus Christ, or are we going to die doubting the gospel, or die procrastinating what we know we need to be doing, or will we die believing?
So that when we die, When our bodies are in the grave, awaiting the second coming of Christ to resurrect these bodies so that these will be glorified bodies, but our soul already with the Lord, our soul will be glorified in that day. No more sin. No more doubts. No more wrong thoughts. We'll be in the presence of the Lord singing His power to save.
And that's Brooks' message to all of us today. Don't delay. Don't procrastinate. Don't doubt. Embrace the Lord Jesus Christ.
Embrace God's Glorious. provision. Mm-hmm. I'm going to close this by reading a passage of Scripture. From Ephesians chapter 2.
This is the Word of God. that describes much of what I have just said. And you he made alive who were dead. in trespasses and sins. In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air.
The Spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh. fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. And were by nature children of wrath. just as the others. But God who is rich in mercy.
Because of his great love with which he loved us. Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ. By grace you have been saved and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. not of works. lest any one should boast. For we are his workmanship.
created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk. In them. Does that describe you? If not, Go to Christ. There is a fountain filled with blood.
Sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. Find a hymnal. We're going to sing that song in closing. 267 in your hymnal. There are five stanzas.
I think we should sing them all. I have just. Take a moment to Um Draw truth from each of these.
So, as we sing them, sing it thoughtfully. Look at the words, think about what is said. Let these words linger in your mind. and in your heart. 267, shall we stand and sing it together?
Mm-hmm. There is a fountain filled with blood, from the angels praise And sin is one thing that one whose guilty saves Whose other guilty stays Whose all their guilty stays When sin is one being that one whose saves On thy rejoice to see that fountain in his name and then of thy mercy wash all my sins away wash all my sins away wash all my sins away And then oh thy sea wash all my sins away in thy man by precious blood Shall never lose its power to all the random church of God be safe to sin no more Be saved to sin no more Be safe to sin no more To all the ramsome church of God be safe to sin no more Their sins I gave my song the string by glowing goods of God The deep love has been my feet, and shall be till I die and shall be till I die and shall be till I die as limited my feet and shall be till I die in this fullest peace every tongue by side I did love praise in a no worth screen I'll sing my power to save I'll sing my power to save I'll sing my power to save a no worth I'll sing my heart to save
