THROUGH THE BIBLE: PSALM 115-117
DATE: Wednesday, Wednesday 12th October 2022
TOPIC: THE BONDS ARE BROKEN
TEXT: ACTS 16:25-34
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here."
29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.
34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
HYMN: OH LORD MY GOD
1. Oh Lord My God, when I in Awesome Wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus: Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
2. And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, My burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away My sin.
Chorus:Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
3. When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Chorus:Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
4. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill My heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"
Chorus:Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings My soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
