   Sometimes I hear music like none I’ve heard before,                                   So don’t live as those who have no hope; all our hope is found in Him.              Bobbie and Jason and big brother, Nate.
   The music of the gentle brook, the ocean’s mighty roar.                               We see the present clearly, but He sees the first and the last.
   O the music of His sacrifice, of the death that Jesus chose.                          And like a tapestry, He’s weaving you and me to someday be just like Him.           Noah David Bolch, born April 7, 2008. He is welcomed by his parents, Tammy

   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
