fervor to our worship I want to thank also sister artistes for blessing us put your hands together for everybody thank you so much you can come back any time and grace our congregation with your musical gift we appreciate you so much Stanzi feed everybody for the reading of Scripture and for the word of God Daniel chapter 5 annual five beginning at verse one Daniel 5 and verse it reads Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords and drank wine before the thousand Bell says the wiles he tasted the wine commanded to bring the gold golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem that the king and his princess his wives and his concubines might a drink of the air in then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem and that the king and his princess his wives and his concubines Trank in them they drank wine and appraised the gods of gold and of silver of brass of iron of wood and of still in the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand and wrote over against a candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace and the king saw the part of the hand at that ropes then the Kings countenance was changed in his thoughts troubled him so that the joints of his loins were loosed and his knees smote one against another turned to verse 25 lays and this is the writing that was written many many tekele you fossa this is the interpretation of the thing God has numbered thy kingdom and finished it thou art weighed in the balances and had found wanting God hide your servant behind the cross of Calvary today and may your name be glorified may Jesus be seen heard and felt in your name I humbly pray man he seated everybody tell my message today is if walls could talk in the earlier chapters of the book of Daniel we have seen upfront and personal the life of another King passed before us he's King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon but between chapter 4 and a chapter 5 25 years have passed Nebuchadnezzar has passed off the scene and his grand son whose name is Belle Chasse has succeeded him and Belle Chasse in many ways is very much like his granddaddy Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar was intoxicated with pride and Belshazzar is intoxicated with a sense of importance and invincibility all around Babylon are the Persians who have laid siege to the city of Babylon a siege takes place when an army has walls protecting it and the opposing army camps around those walls preventing food and supplies from coming in forcing their inhabitants to surrender the Persians who are the new superpower that will displace the Babylonians have laid siege on Babylon but King Bell says is not afraid and a reason he's not afraid is because some impregnable walls protect Babylon impregnable walls protect Babylon in addition to that they have an ample food supply that scholars tell us would last them from 20 to 25 years and they did not have to worry about water because the euphrates river flowed underneath the walls around babylon into the city of babylon so they had an endless supply of water coming in so Belshazzar although the Persians are all around him is not feeling threatened instead he's feeling invincible and to demonstrate his sense of invincibility he's having a feast he's called a thousand of his leading citizens to come to the feast it's a royal banquet it's a gluttonous feast it's an unscrupulous party his wives are there and all of his concubines are there and the banquet hall is lit its lit with music laughter revelry frivolity and debauchery and Belshazzar with his arrogant self is both host and a Toastmaster everybody who is anybody or somebody is in attendance at Belle Chasse party with the exception of God's crowd and as the app it is the absence of God's crowd that will make the party a sad of fear now the wine is flowing like water everybody's got a buzz now everybody is high and you know what happens when you become high boozers become losers someone has said that vodka is odorless colorless and tasteless and it leaves you senseless and may I just pause parenthetically right here to say there's a new trend among us who are several day Adventists that we don't think too much about drinking alcohol and II met some Affairs we have some people serve alcohol let me just encourage you right now we are all wired up differently and some pop people can drink occasionally and nothing happens and others will take one drink and become addicted and I think you need to be careful to listen to the Word of God that wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging do not start even a social drinker who is a Christian is susceptible to becoming an addicted drinker teach your children to stay away from drugs and alcohol and cigarettes and reefer and weed and marijuana whatever you call it and all this drinking has left Belshazzar senseless you know liquor will cause you to lose your inhibitions and he has lost all sense of inhibition and when you lose your inhibition you go on exhibition I'm just trying to wrap a little bit today understand that I took about 20 minutes to come up with this just for you and to take this ungodly affair to another level he calls for the holy things the utensils that were used in the temple that his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar had deported when he raided the temple and now he said bring in the sacred goblets that were used in the worship of God in the temple and in utter mockery he takes these sacred goblets these chalices and he paused hennessy into them I act like y'all don't know what a Hennessy is and drinks from them as his concubines are spinning on poles he took what was sacred and he used it in a common way he lost all sense of that which was sacred and you know that you are in decline as a person or as a culture when you no longer classify certain things as sacred in the Jewish mind of the Bible they divided things from common to sacred and some things were considered common but there were some things that they definitely considered sacred and to profane something is whenever you take something that's sacred and you're treated in a common way that's what the word profanity means it means to take words that are supposed to live and to use them to denigrate that's what Belshazzar has done he's poured wine into the sacred goblets in a drunken orgy now you know there was a time when certain things in our culture were considered sacred the Bible for instance was considered sacred we perhaps did not read it like we should and we did not adhere to it and obeyed it as we should we did not yield to its decrees and edicts but we still consider the Bible sacred some people wouldn't even put anything on top of their Bibles that's why in court before you testify you put your hand on the Bible and swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth that is why presidents would put their hands on the Bible when taking the oath of office Barack Obama used Martin Luther King Jr's Bible to be sworn in as a president as president of the United States no tusen takk bar Barack Obama now someone used a Bible to prop open doors but there are some things that are sacred in our world today and should remain as such and one of those things is the Word of God there was a time when Saturday was sacred from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday we could not be found in the store or still cooking or cleaning because we esteemed the sacredness and the sanctity of God's holy day of arrest remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God in it thou shalt not do what I don't know that I son know that daughter thy manservant or maidservant like cattle know that stranger that is within thy gates point six days the Lord did what made heaven and earth the sea and all that in them is and rested on the seventh day the seventh day is holy and is holy for 24 hours not when you get home it's holy not when you are finished doing what you got to do it's holy from sundown on Friday evening to sundown on Sabbath and imma tell you there are some things that remain sacred but we have forgotten our roots and there's some things you don't talk about under Sabbath your conversation should be heavenly same and somebody there's some things you should not do like breaking the Sabbath and destroying the edges of God's holy day you should be in a posture of prayer when the Sun is setting on Friday and nobody is saying Amen because you've grown used to doing whatever you want whenever you wanted but the Sabbath is sacred and we need to go back to those days when we honored the Sabbath 24 hours of unblemished time sacred hours holy hours God didn't give us a suggestion he gave us a commandment remember it to keep it holy being in God's house on his holy day is a sacred obligation isn't it funny that the day most people get sick and tired too tired to get out of bed is under Sabbath those same Negroes get up every morning and they go and work for the man same get up sub-zero degrees get on the train but Allah but when Sabbath comes they're too tired it's too cold it's raining it's snowing because going to church in their mind is optional but going to work it's not y'all don't like this do you you came here for me to make you happy part of making you happy is making you holy some things should be sacred and should not be treated in a common way there was a time when we feared God in this country and we would not use the Lord's name in vain or Jesus's name as the butt of jokes but now we've lost the sense of the sacredness for the name of God do you remember Lorraine Hansberry classic play a Raisin in the Sun and do you remember that there was a scene in the movie starring Sidney Poitier in which the granddaughter has gone to college and has taken a few courses and philosophy and now she's coming back home and she's questioning the reality of God she's in the kitchen with her grandmother who did not have the privilege of going to college and she's telling her grandmother her new philosophy and so why there is no God she said there is no God because there's too much evil in the world she said there is no God because the natural science has proven she talked about Nietzsche and Marx and others who denied the existence of God but her grandmother gets up from the table picking greens goes and looks at her granddaughter as she's ironing looks her in the face and slaps her and said now repeat after me in my mama's house there will be god and the granddaughter repeated in my mama's house there will be god now that was mama's way of saying there are some things that ought to remain sacred don't get so educated so high up don't go up in corporate America and forget from whence you've come it was God that blessed sure it was God that gave you the opportunity it was God that provided health and strength it was God that gave you a mind to comprehend and to analyze you know you are in decline as a person or a culture when things are not sacred when you take your marriage vows as a sacred trust you will respect the vows of fidelity and you will honor your spouse as an equal partner now some don't have physical Affairs they have emotional Affairs let me tell you this let me tell you what's wrong on ethical and immoral you may not have to sleep with a man or woman to commit adultery you can have an emotional affair with a man or woman if there is anything you don't want your husband or wife to know that you have going on between you and somebody else it may not be sleeping as yet it's emotional adultery say Amen somebody if there is somebody that you prefer to talk to other than your husband or wife when you're down low you have a problem if you're somebody when you're high up you're rather shared with that person rather than your spouse you got a problem and if you're caught up in that garbage today pray to God so that he can extricate you from you because you are going down the path the path of perdition there's nothing good that will come out of that i'ma tell you woman listen to me all of you who need somebody to talk to most men will listen to you where is your husband may not listen to you but he is listening with to you with an intention in mind don't be fool all of us men are the same we don't like to listen Amen somebody we all into your story when we are dating you on the first date we are intent everywhere we know what you're saying and we're looking in your eye you're saying I long for a man like that the last one I had was like that well the last one tells you what this one is about to become emotional adultery God well it's sacred when you should have been said till death do us part when you said before friends and family and God I will in good times and bad that's a sacred trust it came from the Garden of Eden when God was the first preacher to perform the first wedding ceremony it came from the garden the Sabbath came from the God teach your children to honor their obligations teach them to respect their word teach them to be true to principle if you're married you shouldn't have a girlfriend on the side now y'all don't like this kind of stuff y'all think i'm preaching a bunch of puerile people everybody is bound for heaven if everybody was balanced for heaven I wouldn't be preaching listen to me if everybody and here was bound for heaven I wouldn't be preaching dad you help me me preach there boy that's right I love it dad that's right marriage is a sacred trust that's why only mature people should get married if you're not mature don't get married you gonna be miserable but sure people understand that the woman I marry is not perfect she may be angelic but she's not perfect and the man I married he may be a stud like me but he ain't perfect what are you laughing at I thought you agreed with me are you getting the point but your people understand I marry an imperfect man and I'm marrying an imperfect woman it's not gonna be a perfect marriage but it's gonna be a committed marriage and you can't bail out the first time something goes wrong cuz i'ma tell you this and listen to me if you leave one marriage and go into the next marriage and marry somebody else after you got divorced you are taking at least 50% of the last problem into the next marriage that's you listen to what Matthew 7:6 says it says do not give dogs what is sacred if you give a dog the sacred Bible he will chew and gnaw on it because he has no ability to discern how important and sacred the Bible is it continues it says do not throw your pearls to the swine or pigs if you give real pearls to pig the pig can't tell the difference between a pearl and an acorn so they will trample over something sacred because they have no way of differentiating between the common and the sacred part of the problem with our culture today is the things that should be held up are brought down and retreated in an ordinary way there was a time you couldn't talk to your mama any kinda way listen I got children and I love my children but I've told him I said listen till the day I die there's a certain way you're not gonna talk to me I'm not your friend I don't want to be your friend I love you you're my child I'll do anything for you but I'm not held hostage to you Amen somebody I remind my children all the time don't talk to me that way don't raise your voice at me don't act impatient with me I'm the only one allowed to act a patient in this house not you Amen somebody if I'm putting food on the table if I've got a roof over your head if I'm plotting your little naked behind Sam and somebody I'm gonna tell you what to do the only time I'm not telling you what to do is when you leave my house but as long as you in here it's my house and I'm not scared of you whole bunch of parents scared and your children afraid to lose them lose what lose disrespect lose talking back loot listen to me I love my children I'll die for them and they know it I give them everything they ask for but you will not disrespect me you will not disrespect your mother in front of me it's sacred Mama's are sacred and if you're a grown person and you're your parent took care you brought you up when they get old it's your responsibility to take care of your parents and there's some silly woman silly woman your llama say it silly woman who compete with their husband's mother for affection and you give the man hell when he's trying to do something nice for his mama listen to me can I teach all of you woman something if a man treats his mother well that's the one you should marry Amen somebody because if he treats his mama well he has learned how to treat a woman Amen somebody before I got married I talked to my wife and says listen whatever my mother and father want whatever they want they only have to ask once I go get it for them whatever whatever they want whenever they need me I stop what I'm doing everybody comes after I go take care of my parent whatever they need I said so you need to understand this before we get married that I'm not gonna change well when I got married my wife took over my parents stopped calling me they started calling her because they realized they'd found somebody who had good sense and you you will remain married if you have good sense some common sense so if you are a woman looking for a man find one who honors his mama I was a mama's boy I took my mother everywhere all over the world when I went to preach I bought our ticket took her to Hawaii when I went to priest took her all across the country took her to England took it everywhere honor your father and your mother the Bible says that your days may be long in other words if when your honor your parents you're gonna live long and God said it and you parents should never tolerate disrespect some of you your children curse at you now listen to me listen to me if you curse at me you're not living with me anymore and the reason why they can curse at you now you could talk to your girlfriend any kind of way but you shouldn't talk to your mama any kinda way talk respectfully yes mama no mama and if your mother gets on your nerves we parents get on our children's nerves sometimes you sit back and take it sometimes we parents don't think we make mistakes we misjudge things we we go overboard that's okay but we only do it because we love you sit down and take it mamas are supposed to be sacred in fact in the streets my son said daddy I love you so much I said I love you too sir he says but you know what this is what he said your love mommy more than you and I said I love my mother more than my father too but I love both of them I understand I'm mad at you in fact in the streets the worst thing you can do is to talk about somebody's mama now I understand and I empathize with those who are angry with Colin Kaepernick because of his taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem I understand that the flag is sacred and the national anthem is sacred it should be respected and the only reason the flag waves and the only reason we can sing the national anthem is because there are people who died on battlefields to make that possible I think that the anger that many people have to what Colin Kaepernick is misdirected the real problem is not Kaepernick taking a knee but it's the fact that there are so many people who love to sing the national anthem but don't promote justice and freedom and liberty which the flag and the national anthem is all about for you to put your hand over your heart and then to spout out racist and hateful rhetoric that's tearing up this nation makes you nothing but a hypocrite and it's a shallow ritual devoid of substance some things ought to be sacred listen to me the right to vote is a sacred obligation if you live in a country you should do everything in your power to live there legally but with the right to contribute to the national discourse through your vote I can't tell you what to do with your life but I'm not gonna live in a country for forty five years with my green card and not get my citizenship because I can't vote I want to be able to vote some people out Amen somebody we should not treat voting time as any other time because there were people who died to give us the right to vote to vote as a sacred right when I was a young fella I remember they used to have big debates at a why should Adventists vote or not and I always said to myself there's a stupidest conversation just like they used to have a why whether woman should wear a hat in church or not so if a hat is required and I love your hats ladies I'm not against hat but if hats are required when you come into the presence of God who's gonna get the hats contract when Jesus comes there was a white woman by the name of viola luzo from detroit who went down to Selma Alabama she was shot by the Ku Klux Klan and killed helping blacks get the right to vote as a matter of fact she was the only white woman to die during the civil rights movement there was a Unitarian minister who was killed helping black and brown people to get the right to vote there were people like Congressman John Lewis who was beaten on the Edmund Pettus Bridge he took a beating to give birth to a new nation with the right for all people to vote and especially ladies and gentlemen in the face of those who still want to disenfranchise blacks because of the gutting of the Voting Rights Act which enables certain Dixiecrats to purge voter rolls and to suppress the vote Jesse Jackson said just a couple weeks ago we could stand in long lines to get into the funeral for Aretha Franklin and then star stand in short lines to go and vote the vote ought to be considered sacred because there are some things you should not trifle with some things you ought to hold with respect and awe there's something else that's sacred the temple the house of God it's sacred is where we come to meet God we're gonna treat it as a sacred treasure you should not bring your garbage and leave it here pastor throws all your garbage away this is God's house when you come here you should take your candy wrappers with you and your drinks and you should not be eating in the temple of the Holy Ghost this is where God meets with his people the tithe is sacred as a matter of fact the Bible says is holy and the tithe is not yours it's an issue of trust and faith there are many people who've been selling their vendors for 40 50 60 years and they have not learned how to be faithful to God with the tithe the tithe is sacred it's not yours and you may think you're prospering now by withholding the tithe but God says you're cursed don't spend God's money on your bills it's not yours the ties is sacred and you must return it to God you're not paying a tithe you're being faithful with what is sacred it's sacred it's only don't touch it don't take the tithe money and do charity work helping people pay their rent that's not the purpose of the time do that with your own money and then stop asking I was in Los Angeles appreciating for a week about two weeks ago and a few people came to me pastor please explain to us do we return tithe on the gross or on the net since that I'm going to tell you this you answer it when you applied for your mortgage you're on a home don't you I said what did you put as your income your gross or your net whatever you put that's what you ties off cuz nobody applying for a mortgage puts the nets when you applying for that car loan for your Toyota or your mercedes-benz what did you put did you put net or gross whatever you put that's what you pay the tithe offer that should put an end to that discussion not only is the tithe sacred but your body the Bible says your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost in other words God resides on the inside so whatever I allow to get inside of me should not be fighting with the Holy Ghost amen somebody so I should eat right say Amen I should drink what is right I should remain active I shouldn't allow grudges and meanness to reside in my heart because this is where the Holy Ghost is say Amen somebody and I shouldn't allow anybody to touch this until they have a wedding marriage license and they stand before a preacher with me Amen somebody your body is sacred if they want to touch your body say yes you can but after we see the preacher y'all don't like this kind of preaching but God knows y'all needed it the problem with Belshazzar is he didn't know the difference between the sacred and the comma he treated sacred things as though they were common and he treated pearls as though they were acorns he didn't understand so when he got high he sent for these utensils these goblets that had been used to worship God he used them in a common way so in a wild orgy Belshazzar and his friends used these holy vessels in contempt of Jehovah God well God looked down and saw what was being done with his holy and sacred eat ensel's and God got upset heaven said now that's enough Belshazzar mercy said God have gone as far as I can go this is ridiculous and then just to slope over at God and said God we've got to act so God who was uninvited to the party decided to show up anyhow he crashed Belshazzar Sparling and he crashed in one of those mysterious ways he showed up as a hand and the hands showed up near the lamp riding on the banquet hall mini mini tikal you fossum when they saw the writing on the wall everybody got quiet the band stopped playing the wines stopped flowing and everybody got sober including Belshazzar he started trembling in his knees starting buckling and shaking he said do we have anybody who can read the writing on the wall so he called for the fortune teller soothsayers palm readers and nobody could read what was on the wall his problem was he didn't have godly people around him who could read what God was trying to tell him that's why you gotta be careful who you call your girlfriend and your boyfriend and your buddies because they will determine whether you go to hell or heaven choose well who you listen to who you get counsel from choose well you hang around a bunch of negative people you'll become negative hang around a bunch of cranky you'll be cranky hang around a bunch of people who don't see anything good you will become like them I keep in my life some old woman I keep in my life some old woman always got some old woman in my life and I keep them for one reason and one reason only when I'm down when my spirits need lifting up those old woman will pray for me and they'll take me from where I am to where God wants me to be they are encourages in my life you want to keep some godly people around you so that when God is talking to you somebody could interpret what God is trying to say to you well the queen who is the king's mother said don't worry King I know somebody who could read the writing on the wall he used to help your granddaddy Nebuchadnezzar he's a Jew he's a foreigner who has been imported from Jerusalem and he's got the Spirit of God upon him and he can read the writing on the wall and his name is Daniel so he called for Daniel and said Daniel would you come to the party which means that they called for him to come to the party it means he was not at the party because there are some parties we should not show up at so Daniel shows up at the party and the King said I'm gonna put a gold chain around your neck if you could just read the writing on the wall and then you said you don't have to give me anything I'm not for hire don't try to influence my interpretation I'm gonna preach because God has called me to preach I'll be happy to tell you what God is trying to tell you what God is trying to tell you is God bless your granddaddy Nebuchadnezzar and he got lifted up in pride so God had to bring him down James his digestive tract to that of a cow so he was eating grass out in the field God made feathers grow out of his body like he was a bird and God made claws grow out of his hands like he was an eagle and God had to bring him down because he got puffed up in pride but look now Shazza you didn't learn the lesson here you are not respecting holy things God did not like it so he crashed your party and is sending you a message and this is what it says mini-mini which means you're numbered your day is up your number is up you thought you had twenty years but your number is up guess what you never know when your number is gonna be up you think you have a whole lot of time but you never know when it's gonna be the last time it says tikal which means you've been way in other words when God puts your deeds on the scale of justice your bad deeds weigh down the scale that's why Christian people should not act as though they've arrived we haven't arrived we on our way and everything you do Belshazzar to bring the scale back down to balance you can't do it because you're too sinful to do it you're too evil to do it you've been weighed and you've been found wanting you Fawcett means you've been divided this very night Belshazzar those persons who are around the wall they're gonna enter into the city they're gonna kill you tonight guess what verse 30 tells us that very night Bell says that the king of Babylon was slain the Babylonians passed off the scene and the Persians entered in and after the Persians shall come the Greeks and after the Greeks shall come the Romans and after the Romans shall come Jesus who will topple all of them that very night Belshazzar lost his kingdom and somebody is thinking I thought the walls were protecting him I thought the walls were thick and they were high they were but the persons under King Cyrus had rerouted the Euphrates River two and a half miles upstream they stopped the river from flowing into Babylon and they rerouted it into a different direction so the water that was coming underneath the walls was redirected and once the water was shut off the soldiers went underneath the walls and it was absolutely no resistance why because everybody was drunk they killed Elsa and they defeated the army and a new regime took over guess why the water had been cut off they did not respect and honor God anything you have coming into your life God gave it to you anytime water is coming into your city God gave it to you and and God gives you something you must remember he is the provider and when you don't respect him and you don't honor him God can cut your water off same thing that was unbell Chaz's wall is on your wall the same thing that was on his wall it's on my wall mini-mini is on my wall if only walls could talk it bedroom walls could talk what a story they'll tell and all of us got some writing on our walls many many is on my wall which means I've been numbered you've been numbered you don't know when it's gonna be but our number will one day be up they'll come a time when you'll come to charge you'll walk into the door and you'll walk out and it will be your last time because your number will be up there's gonna come a time when I will preach from the pulpit here or another place and I will it will be my last sermon preached I would walk out that door and never come back to the pulpit because my number will be up there's a time when you're singing the choir you'll walk out the door and never come back because your number will be up there's gonna come a time when you're safe to your loved ones I love you and it will be your last time God knows this your last time but we don't know it that's why you should take every day that's a gift from God because our number will be up we've been numbered but we've also been weighed I'm like Belshazzar and my sins I put on the scale the scale goes down and there's nothing I can do to bring the scale back up I can get on the other side of scale and I can put all the sermons I preached and all the people I've visited and all the people I counseled and prayed for but there is nothing on the other side I can put to help balance out the bad side of Abraham Jules because the Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God I don't care how much money you gave or how many sermons you preached or how much singing you do to bring the other side of the scale back up we are like Bowser we've been numbered and found wanting we've been waived and found wanting we are also like Bell says because we are gonna be divided like him one day because our scales wouldn't go up and because we and and and be balanced we are going to be divided Jesus said in the end the day there are going to be some coat and some sheep I'm gonna divide the goats and the sheep some are gonna be sheep and some are gonna be goats he said I'm gonna divide the wheat and the tares now I don't know which group you think you're gonna be in let me tell you all of us are gonna be in the tare side and all of us are gonna be on the goat side I know you don't believe me I'm a goat you're a go you're sitting next to a goat you married your goat your mama's a goat go ahead and say baa baa baa your goat we are gonna be divided just like they'll Shazzer I'm glad I have something going for me that Bell says it didn't have for him and if you're a child of God you've got something going for you that Bell says it didn't have Colossians said all your lies all your hypocrisy 2:14 all your lust all your drugs all your sins committed if your trust in Jesus the text said he will blood it out he blood out the handwriting that was against us listen to me everybody everything on the wall he's don't blot it out everything that was against us that should bring judgment on us he said he'll blot it out and everything that was contrary to us he will blot out all your sins all your mistakes all your evil he took what was on the wall and took it with him to the cross and he nailed it to the cross and when you look at your wall what is up there now righteousness was up there now holiness he gave you something you didn't deserve what can wash away my sins nothing but the blood of Jesus what can make me whole again nothing but the blood of Jesus oh how precious is that flow that cleanses me white as snow no other I know nothing but the blood of Jesus since God has been so good to you since God has taken everything and nailed it to the cross then something's ought not to be made common that's sacred God helped you his name is holy God healed you his power is uncompromising God answered your prayer and you know he's the sinners friend God deserves your praise because in the day of trouble he will hide you in his pavilion God is not like men that he should lie his truth stands forever God never sleeps nor slumbers you can trust him God loves you like no other he's the lover of your soul take time to know him he's wonderful take time to think of him he's more precious than diamonds and pearls when you didn't have money you called on the name of the Lord and water kept flowing underneath your walls holy holy holy Lord God Almighty God has been good to us God sits high looks low from everlasting to everlasting he's the Alpha and the Omega he's the beginning and the end I serve a god the angels bow down before him if Obama walked in here you would stand up in people for your head but Obama didn't wake you up this
