I'll Fly Away
1. Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Chorus:
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
2.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
Chorus
3.Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
Chorus
by Albert E. Brumley

Sweet Hour of Prayer
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Have Thine Own Way, Lord
1 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter,
I am the clay.
Mold me and make me
after thy will,
while I am waiting,
yielded and still.
2 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Search me and try me,
Savior today!
Wash me just now, Lord,
wash me just now,
as in thy presence
humbly I bow.
3 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary,
help me I pray!
Power, all power,
surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me,
Savior divine!
4 Have thine own way, Lord!
Have thine own way!
Hold o'er my being
absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit
till all shall see
Christ only, always,
living in me!

Judaizers believed anyone wanting to be a follower of Jesus must become an official Jew first.
This debate is crucial to the essential doctrinal truth of grace.
Salvation comes as a gift from God, received through faith in Jesus, and not something earned.
Being a Christian isn't about ticking off a religious checklist.
When we humble ourselves and recognize our need for forgiveness, Jesus puts His yoke upon us, freeing us from guilt and giving His power to live a life pleasing to God.
True grace flows from the heart of the Father through the love of Jesus Christ.

Two young women have committed to living and working in the Philippines for four months through the Hands On program. Their main ministry focus is mobilizing young Filipinos in the task of missions. Pray for this next generation of Filipinos to catch the vision and commit their summers, semesters, and lives to the task of the Great Commission and to reaching the lost within the Philippines. Pray for these women as they travel, mobilize, train, and serve the Lord in this capacity this spring.
