00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,600
Good evening Emmanuel and 
welcome to Ash Wednesday. 

2
00:00:06,100 --> 00:00:13,100
Ash Wednesday is the one day in 
the year when the church invites

3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,900
us to contemplate. 
Our own mortality in a really 

4
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:23,500
personal, and even tactile way 
My guess is that this was a much

5
00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:28,500
less jarring asked in ages past 
than it is for us today. 

6
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,100
It's true. 
That some of us here have been 

7
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:37,900
impacted profoundly and 
painfully by death by the death 

8
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:42,900
of someone close to us. 
And some of us through injury or

9
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:49,200
illness or age have already 
begun a serious process of 

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,200
coming to terms with our own 
death. 

11
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:58,800
But, for many of us, death is 
kept safely at an arm's length. 

12
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:04,099
It's an abstract eventual 
possibility rather than a 

13
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:12,100
personal imminent, certainty. 
We may witness tens of thousands

14
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:16,200
of deaths per year on screen but
that's where it's all 

15
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,400
make-believe and marketed for 
entertainment. 

16
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:26,000
Even actual death in our society
is packaged for consumption 

17
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,900
round-the-clock via news 
outlets. 

18
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:35,700
So on the one hand, awareness of
death is all around us all the 

19
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,500
time. 
And on the other hand, we are 

20
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:43,400
always encountering it in a 
heavily mediated way that 

21
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,400
encouraged us us to glance as 
quickly as possible and move on.

22
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:55,700
A real awareness of Our Own 
Death kush's us to the extreme 

23
00:01:55,700 --> 00:02:01,200
edge of human vulnerability. 
And so we tend to insulate 

24
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,200
ourselves from this awareness 
for as long as possible and then

25
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,699
when it's no longer possible, 
our vulnerability is so 

26
00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:13,400
profoundly exposed that it feels
overwhelming. 

27
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,900
Consequently, even a very gentle
invitation to contemplate. 

28
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:28,000
The brevity of Our Lives can 
feel awkward and artificial and 

29
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
scary. 
But in the church and in the 

30
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,200
scriptures, the invitation to 
solemnly, consider our death is 

31
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,800
offered alongside and 
exhortation to rigorously and 

32
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,000
wholeheartedly. 
Praise the lord to bless him 

33
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:54,300
from our hearts. 
Because even as tonight's Psalm,

34
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,100
Psalm 103 reminds us of our 
mortality. 

35
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,200
It is also setting death in, its
proper relationship to life in 

36
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,700
Christ. 
Our Lives as feeble and frail as

37
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,900
they are have a very specific 
context and purpose. 

38
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:22,700
Our lives were meant to be woven
into the bigger Holier and More 

39
00:03:22,700 --> 00:03:29,400
Beautiful Life Of God. 
Our lives are like a very small 

40
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,100
and fragile gemstone, that is 
surrounded and supported and 

41
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:40,300
directed by the Amos glory and 
goodness of God for greater 

42
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:44,600
purposes and a longer life span 
than what we can see. 

43
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Now, Confronting the reality of 
our own impermanence requires 

44
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,300
both courage and humility. 
But if we are willing to begin 

45
00:03:55,300 --> 00:04:00,700
their repenting and Ashes, the 
Lord becomes the lifter of our 

46
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:06,900
heads, directing our gaze to 
Mighty acts of God performed on 

47
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:10,000
our behalf. 
So, let's begin. 

48
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:17,800
We'll start in the middle of 
Psalm. 103 verses 15 and 16 and 

49
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,700
you're welcome to look there in 
your bulletins. 

50
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,700
This is where the songwriter 
offers a meditation on the 

51
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:28,000
brevity of life that is both 
poetic and very matter-of-fact 

52
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,300
the psalmist writes, our days or
like the grass, we flourish like

53
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,600
a flower of the field when the 
wind goes over. 

54
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,900
It It is gone and it's Place 
shall know it. 

55
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:46,100
No more. 
Now, this imagery is so pretty. 

56
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:51,100
That it's easy to skim past the 
implications, the psalmist draws

57
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:55,900
an analogy between our bodies 
and the bodies of plants that 

58
00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:58,700
only Thrive for one short 
season. 

59
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,700
We are not like the oak trees or
even shrubs and bushes that may 

60
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:10,200
endure for several years. you 
and I the poet says are like the

61
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,300
kinds of grasses and the kinds 
of flowers that flourish or just

62
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:20,700
a few months and cannot be found
at all when the season changes 

63
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:25,200
Death is coming soon, the 
psalmist, bluntly States. 

64
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,000
And then, we're gone from here. 
Now our short lives do matter, 

65
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:38,100
they matter to us and to others.
And to God, we flourish like a 

66
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:41,800
flower of the field, the 
psalmist, says, and hooray for 

67
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,200
flourishing, may it be. 
So let us cooperate with God to 

68
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,900
make it so in our short lives. 
But however, meaningful and 

69
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:56,200
precious this life, maybe 
however, fully we are called to 

70
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800
invest ourselves in the 
well-being of others while we're

71
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,300
here. 
None of that extends, the length

72
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,800
of our days The years will pass 
and this Earth will know us no 

73
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,400
longer. 
Before long, our bodies will 

74
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,400
fail and we will pass into 
eternity. 

75
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,500
Now, maybe you're here this 
evening, and you're young, or in

76
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:24,200
love. 
And today, you see nothing but 

77
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,200
sunny days ahead. 
The psalmist would like to 

78
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,400
remind you. 
That still your life will end in

79
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,000
death. 
Maybe you are on the brink of 

80
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,800
curing cancer or eliminating 
racism or housing, the homeless 

81
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,300
of the world, and this would be 
an amazing gift. 

82
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,000
We should be investing ourselves
in these. 

83
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,300
Pursuits would be a huge leap 
forward in quality of life for 

84
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:58,400
Millions. 
But the psalmist would like to 

85
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,400
remind you, that all those 
people that we can benefit those

86
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,400
who might be then house. 
And cancer-free and living with 

87
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,900
a greater measure of Justice. 
Each one of them like you will 

88
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:17,300
nonetheless be dead in a matter 
of years. 

89
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,000
Or maybe you're here tonight and
your experience of life has 

90
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
begun to feel mostly like a 
series of painful 

91
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,300
disappointments. 
A burden that is too heavy to 

92
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:35,400
carry. 
Whether you are experiencing 

93
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:42,400
life in this moment as good and 
meaningful or painful and empty,

94
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,600
we need to know it matters. 
If this life is all that there 

95
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,800
is Because if the only thing, 
the psalmist had to say about 

96
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,700
our lives is that they're short 
and end in death, this 

97
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:01,900
invitation to contemplate death 
would be cruel. 

98
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:08,600
Happy lives would all be way too
short and painful lives way too 

99
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,700
long. 
If they are a flourishing and 

100
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:17,300
fading is really all that there 
is but brothers and sisters, 

101
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:24,000
this is not all there is our 
fleeting and fragile lives can 

102
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,200
be caught up and held in the 
Life of Christ are transient 

103
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,500
Earthly Joys can deepen into 
Eternal. 

104
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,900
Heavenly ones. 
Bitter disappointment and 

105
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:42,000
prolonged suffering here and be 
transformed can be Redeemed by 

106
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,500
God's grace. 
For those who are in Christ, The

107
00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,700
Mighty love of God, in circles, 
us and bears us up and Carries 

108
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,500
us safely into an eternity with 
him. 

109
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:00,400
We can recognize clearly the 
brevity of our lives. 

110
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,400
At also, set the eyes of our 
hearts on Jesus Emmanuel 

111
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,000
Emmanuel God With Us our Lord 
Jesus Christ. 

112
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,900
Took on mortality, just like our
own, his flesh was as grass, 

113
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:20,400
just like ours. 
He lived in this scene precious,

114
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,900
but painful world that you and I
are living in now. 

115
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,400
And after his brief season here,
he died. 

116
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:31,300
Just as surely as you and I will
die. 

117
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:37,900
But it is through his death, 
that you and I become recipients

118
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:44,300
of all the blessings of his life
and his death and his 

119
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:48,200
resurrection, Our Lives, not 
limited. 

120
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,300
They do not have to be limited 
to this short span of years. 

121
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:58,100
Our Lives, infused with the love
of God can extend through death 

122
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:03,800
into an eternal life shared with
the whole Holy Son of God. 

123
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:11,500
Bless the Lord O my soul and all
that is within me. 

124
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,900
Bless His holy name. 
Bless the Lord O my soul and 

125
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:24,000
forget, not all his benefits. 
Scripture gives us an ability to

126
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000
preach the goodness of God to 
ourselves. 

127
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,700
We can preach these words to 
ourselves in times of gratitude 

128
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:39,000
and distress a like bless the 
Lord O my soul and all that is 

129
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,900
within me, the last His holy 
name, and remember all his 

130
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,400
benefits. 
What are these benefits? 

131
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,600
What has the Lord done for us? 
This psalmist provides us with a

132
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,900
lengthy list of what God has 
done. 

133
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:03,500
And these are not blessings that
we have to hunt down and tackle 

134
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:08,200
and drag forcefully into our 
lives to offset our fears of 

135
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,500
death. 
These are blessings that Jesus 

136
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:14,100
Christ has won for us on our 
behalf already. 

137
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,700
The Lord is hunting us down with
these blessings. 

138
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,600
Seeking us out with them, 
showering us With an abundance 

139
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,000
of good things. 
Every one of which will endure 

140
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,400
into the next life. 
He forgives all your sins and 

141
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:38,000
heals all your infirmities. 
How horrible it would be to live

142
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,800
forever if our sins and our 
moral and for formalities and 

143
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,600
our physical diseases were to 
follow us through death, 

144
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:49,100
clinging to us and dragging us 
down into the grave. 

145
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:54,700
That would be a horror of 
Horrors, but Glory of Glory's. 

146
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,300
God has willed it to be 
otherwise for those who are in 

147
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:04,400
Christ, all sins are forgiven 
all infirmities of body and mind

148
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,700
and soul are Old forever and 
forever after death hums, not 

149
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:15,800
just more life, but a life, free
of sin and free of these 

150
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:21,700
weaknesses. 
He redeems your life from the 

151
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:29,200
grave and crowns you with mercy 
and loving-kindness, those who 

152
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,900
died in Christ will not lie in 
their graves forever. 

153
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,000
There is a redeemer, eager for 
us to share in his own. 

154
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,600
Hard-won Resurrection Life when 
we see him, Key will cover us 

155
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,300
with his own righteousness and 
Crown us with mercy and 

156
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:53,900
loving-kindness. 
He satisfies you with good 

157
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:58,600
things and your youth is renewed
like an eagle's. 

158
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
We may be surrounded with 
suffering in this world, but the

159
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Savior comes to us. 
Now bringing food that will 

160
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,200
satisfy us and restore us to a 
strength like that of a young 

161
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,900
eagle. 
The Lord executes Justice 

162
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,500
righteousness and judgment for 
all who are oppressed. 

163
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,400
The Lord is at work in our 
lives. 

164
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,900
And in this world, every little 
bit of righteousness that we 

165
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,200
witness here has been 
accomplished by his hand and his

166
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,400
power and every little bit of 
Injustice. 

167
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:43,200
Every last bit that we are 
witnessing now will be judged 

168
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:50,300
and set, right? 
He made his ways known to Moses 

169
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:53,500
and his Works to the children of
Israel. 

170
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:59,500
The Lord not only acts on our 
behalf, he reveals himself and 

171
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:04,800
his ways to us that we might 
know him and worship him and 

172
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,100
imitate him. 
The Lord is full of compassion 

173
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:15,700
and mercy slow to anger, and of 
great kindness. 

174
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,900
He will not always accuse us nor
will he keep his anger forever. 

175
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:28,500
The anger of the Lord against 
sin and Injustice is real. 

176
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,800
It is a force to be reckoned 
with and a powerful. 

177
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,500
Reminder that what happens here 
in this present life has 

178
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,300
meaning, he does not turn a 
blind eye, to the suffering 

179
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:44,700
caused by sin and yet his anger 
is brief. 

180
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,800
His mercy and great. 
Kindness is Everlasting. 

181
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200
He has not dealt with us, 
according to our sins, nor 

182
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,700
rewarded us. 
According to our wickedness for 

183
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:03,200
as high, as the heavens are 
above the Earth. 

184
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:10,000
So is his Mercy, great upon 
those who fear Him as far as the

185
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,100
East is from the West so far. 
Has he removed our sins from us.

186
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,900
When the fear of the Lord falls 
upon a man, a woman, a child, 

187
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,900
and they turned to him and hope 
and repentance is forgiveness, 

188
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:31,300
is immediate and complete. 
He does for us what we cannot do

189
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:34,500
for ourselves and whisks away 
forever. 

190
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:40,100
Our iniquity as a father cares 
for his children. 

191
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,800
So does the Lord care for those 
who fear Him and our heavenly 

192
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,700
father is more tender and more 
caring than even the best of 

193
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:55,200
Earthly fathers. 
And he bends near to tend to us.

194
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Why or he himself knows where of
We Are Made, he remembers that 

195
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:12,300
we are but dust the Lord knows 
your weaknesses, even better 

196
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:17,500
than you know it yourself. 
He knows that our days are like 

197
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:20,400
the grass. 
He knows that even are 

198
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,500
flourishing Fades with the 
summer heat and were we are 

199
00:16:24,500 --> 00:16:28,600
remembered here, no more for a 
human being. 

200
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,900
This sort of weakness, may seem 
pitiful. 

201
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:38,600
And likely to move, a mighty God
to disdain or to discussed but 

202
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,700
the it is the opposite with our 
heavenly father, our limitations

203
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:50,700
our Frailty, our deep dependence
and need is what captivates and 

204
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:58,000
activates his generosity, his 
kindness and his mercy and be 

205
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,600
merciful, goodness of the Lord 
in doors. 

206
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:08,099
Forever. 
The merciful goodness of the 

207
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:17,300
Lord indoors forever. 
We are as dust. 

208
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:27,900
All Flesh is as grass but The 
merciful goodness of the Lord, 

209
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:34,400
indoors Forever, on those who 
fear Him and his righteousness 

210
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,700
on children's children on those 
who keep his Covenant and 

211
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:43,000
remember His Commandments and do
them. 

212
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:50,500
Tonight, we celebrate the 
merciful goodness of the Lord. 

213
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:57,600
In a ritual that acknowledges 
that even our death can be 

214
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,700
transformed by his merciful 
goodness. 

215
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,700
In a few moments will begin the 
practice of the imposition of 

216
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:14,400
ashes and at its simplest to 
impose means to put upon If you 

217
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,000
come forward, as you come 
forward, standing or kneeling, 

218
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,700
you will have ashes put upon 
your head in the shape of a 

219
00:18:23,708 --> 00:18:28,800
simple cross. 
Whatever your relationship is 

220
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,500
with your own death tonight, 
whether it seems comfortably 

221
00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:37,600
abstract and a million miles 
away or whether you feel like 

222
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,900
you've been living in the cold 
air of the Grave for years 

223
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,500
already. 
This night is a night of 

224
00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:51,700
profound hope in Jesus, our very
fragility, the Mortal weakness 

225
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:54,400
that we fear. 
That is the very cause of the 

226
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,200
Lord's remembrance. 
And Darkness toward us, the 

227
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,400
symbol of our death. 
These ashes are mingled with 

228
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,900
holy oil and formed in the shape
of the cross of Jesus on our 

229
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:15,000
bodies in this way, we remember,
not only that we are dust and 

230
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,300
that to dust we shall return. 
But we remember that, Jesus has 

231
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,500
forever Sanctified death by his 
own death. 

232
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:31,500
Jesus brought his own Holiness 
and life into death and he 

233
00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:35,100
changed the nature of death for 
us forever. 

234
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,400
He has robbed death of it's 
victory through the cross and 

235
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,100
now we can wear The Mark of 
Death of his death. 

236
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:47,600
With our own proudly on our 
foreheads. 

237
00:19:48,500 --> 00:19:52,600
He has removed Forever, The 
Sting of death and the shame of 

238
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,100
sin, he has made of Death, a 
pathway into life and all who 

239
00:19:57,100 --> 00:20:01,300
repent and believe the gospel 
will find their way to him. 

240
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:08,800
Our repentance may be flawed 
tonight, our faith may be 

241
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,800
feeble, but our hope is not in 
the completeness of our 

242
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:17,300
repentance or the strength of 
our own faith. 

243
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,400
However small the seed of your 
faith tonight. 

244
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,600
However imperfect your 
repentance invest it all in the 

245
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,400
Lord. 
Jesus Christ whose Throne is in 

246
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,800
heaven and whose compassion and 
mercy is steadfast. 

247
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,300
Fastly. 
Turned toward you for those who 

248
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:40,200
entrust themselves to Christ 
fully there is nothing. 

249
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,600
Left to fear. 
The Lord has set his throne in 

250
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,800
heaven, and his kingship has 
dominion over all. 

251
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,600
Bless the Lord. 
You angels of his you mighty 

252
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,900
ones who do his bidding and 
hearken to the voice of his 

253
00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:00,500
word. 
Bless the Lord. 

254
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:04,500
All you, his hosts. 
You Ministers of his would do, 

255
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:10,100
his will bless the Lord. 
All you works of his in all 

256
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:15,200
places of his Dominion. 
Bless the Lord O my soul. 

257
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,600
In the name of the father and of
the son and of the holy spirit. 

258
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,700
Amen.
