The Sanctuary Choir by their children Susan McClenahan and Steve Davidson.
God is too wise to be mistaken. God is too good to be unkind.
His music fills my heart with peace; it floods my soul with joy. So when you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan,
His music makes my spirit sing and every note employ. When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.
The music of God’s love for me He sent His Son to sing. The red roses honor:

As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory. Going Out Together “How Great Thou Art” O STORE GUD
I desire membership:
I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom, Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; ! I have received Christ as Savior.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ: His death and resurrection. How great Thou art, how great Thou art! ! I want to receive Christ as Savior.
Why should I gain from His reward I cannot give an answer? Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; ! I am a member of a church of another denomination.
But this I know with all my heart: His wounds have paid my ransom. How great Thou art, how great Thou art! ! I am a member of a Baptist church and
want to transfer my membership.
