A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.

O spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound.
Let every Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
Refrain:
The Comforter has come! The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n, the Father’s promise giv’n,
O spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
The long, long night is past; the morning breaks at last;
And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As o’er the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come! (Refrain)
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thro' the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come! (Refrain)
A Hymn is a Slice of Faith
At Ever Praise Music we believe that a hymn is a slice of faith,
written by ordinary people, for ordinary people,
on an extraordinary journey.
God has gifted countless numbers of people with songs
in their hearts. They shared their lyrics and melodies with us
in the form of sacred hymns. Take a closer look at one of these sacred hymns and you will find encouragement for your daily
walk of faith. Peruse the titles of a sacred hymnal and you will find clues as to the slice of someone's faith journey found in the hymn.
Hymns are examples of the spiritual fruit produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people, on an extraordinary journey.
This spiritual fruit, or faith fruit, is written by everyday people
who walked where we walk, felt what we have felt,
and often did what we have done. These hymns can encourage
us on our journey, lead us around obstacles,
teach us how to serve our neighbor, help us stand
against principalities and powers,
share with us the praise and glory of the Lord, and witness
to all of us about the goodness and mercy of Almighty God.>>>

- Jesus Is All the World to Me #2132:56
And though this world,
with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

Hebrews 2
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

1. Before the song begins, make remarks about who Jesus Christ is in the heavenly realm and who Jesus is in the earthly realm. Emphasize that the readings for today describe aspects of the glory, power, and majesty that He left behind in heaven, to come down to earth to preach, to teach, and to serve. He worked here in his ministry, instructed the disciples, healed the sick, raised the dead, and went out in the world to bring more disciples into The Way. He died for our salvation, was buried, and rose from the dead with all power in His hands. He sits at the right hand of God and serves as our mediator, pleading for us. We should give Christ Jesus the glory, the honor and the praise for his mighty acts.

We Are One Body
Jesus Taught Us...
...That there is evil in the world, but He didn't dwell on it.
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
He chose the twelve disciples so that we could hear
the good news from many different perspectives.
The apostles who preached and wrote the books of the
New Testament wrote from different perspectives as well.
We should not declare one Gospel message
as superior to the others.
The Four Gospels teach us, in the broader sense,
that these eyewitnesses wrote the same message,
described the same story of the life of Jesus Christ,
but spoke to us from four different perspectives.
So many teachers of our present day, critique the good news
preached by others from a different perspective.
The Bible says "he that hath an ear, let him hear..."
The Holy Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow..>>>(read more)
Jesus is all the world to me,
and true to him I'll be;
O how could I this friend deny,
when he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right,
he watches o'er me day and night;
following him by day and night,
he's my friend.
John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 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. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also...18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

We're Marching to Zion
Hymn for the Week of May 18th 2025
May Theme: "Hymns of Praise"
Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength from day to day,
without him I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad, he makes me glad...
He's my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,
my friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
he sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
He's my friend.
- A Mighty Fortress is Our God #153:03
Worship, honor, glory, blessing,
Lord, we offer unto Thee.
Young and old, Thy praise expressing,
In glad homage bend the knee.
All the saints in Heaven adore Thee;
We would bow before Thy throne.
As Thine angels serve before Thee,
So on earth Thy will be done.
The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets,
or walk the golden streets.
