I caught “All Creatures of our God and King” on the radio this morning – 94.3 FM

At Berean Baptist Church this morning . . .

Morning Church Bible Reading:  Joshua 2:15-24

Morning Music:

• Near the Cross: “Jesus, keep me near the cross–there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.  In the cross, in the cross be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest, beyond the river.”
• Be Still, My Soul: “Be still, my soul! the Lord is on thy side; bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; leave to thy God to order and provide; in ev’ry change He faithful will remain.  Be still, my soul! thy best, thy heav’nly Fried thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.” (Good hymn for 9/11)
• Standing on the Promises:  “Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God . . . By the living Word of God I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God.”
• I Love You Lord – “I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You.  O my soul, rejoice! Take joy, my King, in what You hear: may it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.”
