Sunday Songs on Monday again.
Immigrant’s Song from Getty Music.
Every citizen of the kingdom of God is an alien, a stranger, and a refugee (a former enemy) who has been welcomed in.
It is why Christians identify with the plight of the displaced and sojourners.

The lyrics:
1.
I was a stranger
On the outside looking in
Beyond all favor
I was wandering
She was a mother
But no one to call her own
This lowly stranger
Could never disown
Bridge 1.
I said
Let me come with you we don’t have to be alone
I said
Let me come with you I will make your home my home
Chorus.
Home
I am moving on
Hope
When all hope seemed gone
Where you are is where I belong
Our home so far from home
2.
There at the edges
Just a little grace to glean
He turned His head then
I found everything
Bridge 2.
He said
come with me you don’t have to be alone
He said
come with me I will build for us a home
Chorus.
Bridge 3.
I will rest in you beloved
Hide beneath the shadow of your wings
3.
He’s our Redeemer
I laid down at His feet
He spread a cover of mercy over me
A moment of changing
I was not what I would be
Bound to Him
Then I am truly free
Bridge 4.
He said
come with me you don’t have to be alone
He said
come with me I will build for us a home
Chorus.
Final Chorus ending.
In our home so far from home
Home

Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 11

Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 11

Chapter 7 – Of God’s Covenant with Man (Paragraphs 1-3)
I. The distance between God and the creature is so great, that although reasonable creatures do owe obedience unto him as their Creator, yet they could never have any fruition of him, as their blessedness and reward, but by some voluntary condescension on God’s part, which he has been pleased to express by way of covenant.
II. The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works, wherein life was promised to Adam, and in him to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.
III. Man by his fall having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a second, commonly called the covenant of grace: wherein he freely offered unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in him, that they may be saved, and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto life, his Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe.

Warner Archive’s recently released Blu-ray of 1948’s The Three Musketeers. Gene Kelly as Dartagnan hones the derring do he began in The Pirate, and would caricature as Philippe in the royal rascal in Singing In The Rain.
