HYMN: “AT THE CROSS”
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?And did my Sovereign die?Would He
devote that sacred head,For such a one as as I?
RefrainAt the cross, at the cross,Where I first saw the
light,And the burden of my heart rolled away--It was there by faith
I received my sight,And now I am happy all the day!
Was it for crimes that I had done;He groaned upon the
tree?Amazing pity! Grace unknown!And love beyond degree!
Refrain
Well might the sun in darkness hide;And shut His glories in,When
Christ, the mighty Maker died,For man the creature’s sin.
Refrain
But drops of grief can ne’er repay;The debt of love I owe:Here,
Lord, I give my self away,’Tis all that I can do. Refrain

. 8:00 AM & 9:30 AM
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first
heavenand the first earth had passed away, and there was no
longerany sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming
downout of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully
dressedfor her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the
thronesaying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the
people,and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and
Godhimself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe
everytear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning
orcrying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5
Hewho was seated on the throne said, “I am making everythingnew!”
Then he said, “Write this down, for these words aretrustworthy and
true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alphaand the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I willgive water without
cost from the spring of the water of life.

3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home
ofSimon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of
veryexpensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar
andpoured the perfume on his head. 4 Some of those present
weresaying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume?5
It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and themoney
given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly. 6“Leave her
alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? Shehas done a
beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will alwayshave with you,[b]
and you can help them any time you want.But you will not always
have me. 8 She did what she could. Shepoured perfume on my body
beforehand to prepare for myburial. 9 Truly I tell you, wherever
the gospel is preachedthroughout the world, what she has done will
also be told, inmemory of her.”
