Scripture:
Luke 6:37
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Matthew 13:24-30
24 He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?’ 28 He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he replied, ‘No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’”
Lyrics:
“The Story I’ll Tell”
Maverick City Music
The hour is dark and it's hard to see
What you are doing here in the ruins
And where this will lead
Oh but I know that down through the years
I'll look on this moment and see your hand on it
And know you were here
And I'll testify of the battles you've won
How you were my portion when there wasn't en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Believing gets hard when options are few
When I can't see what you're doing
I know that you're proving
You're the God who comes through
Oh but I know that over the years
I'll look back on this moment and see your hand on it
And know you were here
And I'll testify of the battles you've won
How you were my portion when there wasn't en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
And all that is left is highest praises
So sing hallelujah to the rock of ages
And all that is left is highest praises
So sing hallelujah to the rock of ages
Singing oh my God did not fail
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
Singing oh I know it is well
Oh, it's the story I'll tell
And I'll testify of the battles you've won
How you were my portion when there wasn't en ough
I'll testify of the seas that we've crossed
The waters you've parted the waves that I've walked
