Green trees a-bending, poor sinners stand a-trembling; The trumpet sounds within-a my soul. I ain’t got long to stay here. Steal away, steal away; steal away to Jesus. Steal away, steal away home. I ain’t got long to stay here Old Testament Reading - Genesis 9:8-17 New Testament Reading - 1 Peter 3:18-22 God’s Word for God’s people Thanks be to God! Prayers of the People Message “The Time Has Come” Mark 1:9-15 Commitment Hymn "There is a Balm in Gilead" UMH #375 Refrain: There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul. Sometimes I feel discouraged, and think my work’s in vain. But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again. Refrain Don’t ever feel discouraged, for Jesus is your friend, And if you look for knowledge hei’ll ne’er refuse to lend. Refrain If you can’t preach like Peter, if you can’t pray like Paul, Just tell the love of Jesus, and say he died for all. Refrain Benediction May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
