O God, open our hearts to your healing touch as we worship. May we hear your word and obey it with gladness.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Hymn of the Month

How to reach the masses, men of every birth, For an answer Jesus gave the key; “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, Will draw all men unto Me,”

Refrain:

Lift Him up, lift Him up; Still He speaks from eternity: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, Will draw all men unto Me.”

Oh! the world is hungry for the Living Bread, Lift the Savior up for them to see; Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.”

Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought, Let the world in you the Savior see; Then men will gladly follow Him Who once taught, “I’ll draw all men unto Me.”
