LEADER: My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;

CONG: Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift

up your voice for understanding,

LEADER: If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God.

CONG: For the Lord gives wisdom; From His

mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

ALL: He guards the paths of justice, And

preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.

LIFT HIM UPLIFT HIM UP

1. 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.”

2. 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.”

3. Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew, Preach the Gospel simple, full and free; Prove Him and you will find that promise is true, “I’ll draw all men unto me.”

4. 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.”

Special Giving Above Tithe and Offering

“The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:32

Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.

If you earn
