A Sweet Time of Refreshment...

This is a long overdue post. During the week of the Shepherds' Conference, the Community Baptist Church kids (minus the Williams) had the priviledge to spend a little time with our beloved pastor (and his three sons) from our college years at BJU. I have spoken of Pastor Whitcomb before, and I know that only a few read this blog and mostly are the same ones in the picture below. So, I will conclude this simple picture post with the lyrics of Pastor's favorite hymn.

A Pardoning God – Micah 7:18

Great God of wonders! All thy ways
Display the attributes divine;
But countless acts of pardoning grace
Beyond thine other wonders shine:

Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

Crimes of such horror to forgive,
Such guilty, daring worms to spare;
This is thy grand prerogative,
And none may in this honour share:

Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

In wonder lost, with trembling joy
We take the pardon of our God;
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye,
A pardon bought with Jesu's blood:

Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

O may this strange, this matchless grace,
This God-like miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
As now it fills the choirs above!

Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
