We are the Tri-State Gospel Singers. As you can see on our signs, take a good read after. These are our theme verses, and this is our theme. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you might be saved if he's in a good mood that day. It doesn't say that, does it? It doesn't say that, does it? What does it say? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and what? Now, I always ask people this question after I read that verse. Aren't you glad God means what he says? I certainly am. Okay, our next song, well, first of all, that first song, we decided, believe it or not, you were part of history, because that was the first time we did that publicly, a cappella with no group, just the voices. And Heather and I talked about it, and Brian being our only real bass in the group, And Dan over there sings the tenor part. He's really a baritone. So we have no tenors, and we have one real bass. Okay? So, but we do our best. And we said, let's try this and see how it goes a cappella. And you'll be hearing from Brian a little bit later on. Our next song is called Glorious God. And this song was actually written, I'm going to look at my cheat sheet here, because this song was written by two 12-year-old boys. Twelve-year-old boys, they entered a songwriting contest back in 2018, well 2017, they did the contest. And Lilanus, one of our big Christian music publishers, picked the song up and published it in 2018. And it's simply called, Glorious God, Mac Durden and Miles LaPointe. There are two fine young Christian men, 12 years old, wrote this song. So you tell me what you think of two 12-year-olds who write a song. In the born of the water, race of the mountains, imagine the heavens. I can't even fathom how good you are. How good you are. With one single motion, you wrote every verse, song, composed the emotion. I can't even fathom how good you are. How good you are. Glorious, glorious God, wonderful Maker. Ouncing with the stars in praise, my Creator. Oh, glorious, glorious God. You poured out the water, raised up the mountains. Imagine the heavens. I can't even fathom how good you are. How good you are. With one single motion. Cause my emotions, I can't even tell them how good you are. How good you are. Glorious, glorious God, wonderful Maker. I'll sing with the stars and praise my Creator. Glorious, glorious God, wonderful Maker. I'll sing with the stars and praise my Creator. O glorious, glorious God. O glorious, glorious God. And it was good. ♪ For God is good and it was good ♪ ♪ For you are good ♪ ♪ Glorious, glorious God ♪ ♪ Wonderful maker ♪ ♪ Come sing with the stars in praise ♪ ♪ Glorious, glorious God ♪ ♪ Wonderful Maker ♪ ♪ Ashen with the stars and praise my Creator ♪ ♪ Oh, glorious, glorious God, oh, glorious God, oh, glorious God ♪ Oh, glorious, glorious God. Oh, glorious, glorious God. You, Lord of the water, grace of the mountains, imagine the heavens. I can't even fathom how good you are. How good you are. 12 years old in 2017, it's not making a lot, about 21 now? 20, 21 years old. You know, some people say these kids and then make a lot of complaints. I got initiated. These kids did good, dude. They did really good. What's next? I don't even know what's next. What's next? Oh, okay, the other one. So Brian's right back with you now. This song is our most requested song that this choir gets. not only because Brian does a great job with it, we feature Brian again, but also because the message is so powerful. Brian's gonna tell you the whole message, but just think about the theme of the song. Now try and just imagine that you had a conversation with the king of kings about the things that cause you so much worry. Well guess what? To the Christian, we have conversations with the Lord all the time, don't we? To the non-believer, the non-Christian, this is a message of invitation. The Lord wants you to have those conversations with Him. To the Christian, this is a message of confirmation that we know our God's got our back, huh? How about it? Jesus has our back. And we can confide in you, we can talk to him. Listen to the words. Brian's going to tell you the whole story. I bet some people out there are going to know the words and sing right along. So here we go. Oh, No You Don't. Now try and just imagine that you have That caused you so much worry? Say, why? Why? Because there's one thing to be sure of. It's my promise to take care of you. If you think there's something you must do. Oh, no, you don't. Oh, no, you don't, because yes, I do. Now, faith gives us belief. But don't expect him just to guess Sometimes it's better when he says Oh no you don't. Oh, no, you don't. Oh, no, you don't. Oh, no, you don't. Now there's a powerful message to give to anybody we have that's unsaved. You don't have to carry those burdens on your own anymore. What's next? Oh, okay. We're going to slow it down, complete change of pace now. This is a song that An arrangement of a children's song, a pretty nice advanced choral arrangement, an adult choral arrangement of a children's song. Again, aren't the most powerful messages the most simple? Aren't they? Amazing love that welcomes me, the kindness of mercy. That fought with love wholeheartedly, my soul undeserving. God. God, you're so good. God, you're so good. You're so good to me. and hour by hour. The dead are raised. The sinners saved. The work of your power, God. You're so good. God, You're so good. God, You're so good. You're so good to me. God, God, you're so good, you're so good. I am blessed, I am called, I am healed, I am whole, I am saved in Jesus' name. Highly favored, anointed, filled with your power for the glory of Jesus' name. I am blessed, I am called, I am healed, I am whole, I am saved in Jesus' name. I be favored, anointed, filled with your power for the glory of your name. And should this life bring suffering, Lord, I will remember what Calvary has fought for me, both now and forever. You're so good. God, You're so good. God, You're so good. You're so good to me. God, God, you're so good. God, you're so good. You're so good to me. God, you're so good. You're so good. You're so good to me. God, you're so good. You're so good to me. is a song, this is a new one for us. We just started working on this this year. This is a new song for us. And as you can see it came, we picked up this book and this is also I believe from, this one was? Yeah, this one was too. This is called The Southern Sunday Favorites, Southern Gospels. And this is a song really about the rapture of the church, about the day, we go in the glory and the title When I wake up to sleep no more When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ Jewels adorning and glory, glory, glory ♪ ♪ Telling a story with the redeemed of all the ages ♪ ♪ Praising the one whom I adore ♪ ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ ♪ Glory to God I'll have a new body ♪ ♪ Changing the twinkling of an eye ♪ ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ ♪ Leaving behind all trouble and sorrow ♪ ♪ Remember that city of my life ♪ ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ When I wake up to Down a story with a redeemer of the ages, praising the one whom I adore. When I wake up, when I wake up, when I wake up, to sing no more. ♪ Glory to God, I'll have a new body changed in a twinkling of an eye ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ Leaving behind all trouble and sorrow bound for that city of my life ♪ When I wake up to sleep no more ♪ Son of God, glory to the Lord ♪ ♪ Jewels of glory, and now he comes in glory ♪ ♪ Tell the story where the redeemed of all the ages ♪ ♪ Praise the one whom I adore ♪ ♪ When I wake up, when I wake up, when I wake up ♪ ♪ To sleep no more, to sleep no more ♪ Tarou and I had a little disagreement the other day. I'm going to share with you that. Tarou, I said to Tarou, when the rapture happens and we go marching into heaven, it's going to be a Dixieland band, lead and single. And Tarou said, no, it's going to be a bluegrass band. And I said, no, Tarou, Second Opinions, Chapter 4 says. We had a lot of fun with that. But I'll tell you what, I think we're all gonna be up there going back, going, yeah, really good, all right. So just remember that, the rapture of the church, which I have no idea what Brother Chu's gonna preach on tonight, I have no idea. But you think about that, we're gonna go with the redeemed of all the ages, aren't we? Amen. Those people that are already there, they're gonna get to meet their new bodies, their new perfect glorified bodies. Those that are left, those of us that are left, if it happens in our lifetime, zap it all. You know, I won't be fat anymore. I'll be thrilled, believe me, that'd be so nice. But, isn't that amazing? And so when we sing the song like amazing grace, think about that, and it gives whole new meaning, doesn't it? When we've been there 10,000 years, right? Our next song, I believe this is our second to last one. No, it's our last one. It's our last one, and then we have Pastor Trump to do the group song I got passed out on. And, nah, they don't want to hear it. They do. And we have one more song for offering after this. But keep in mind, the rapture of the church, when I wake up to sleep no more, Jesus has a message. So Christian, when you go out there in this world to share with somebody the gospel, to share with the Lord Jesus Christ, you can ask Marty, she did it for decades with the little kids at CEF. You can ask any number of people in this room, I bet, who led people to Christ, any number of people. The song title, really, it's a cantata that we found, this is a well-known cantata, too. It's actually from an Easter cantata. called You've Already Won. And the song we're gonna sing is called You've Already Won. Got news for you, Christian, you've already won. And you can tell anybody who wants to come to Christ, once they've come to Christ, they've already won, too. In fact, Christ already won. How about it, huh? He did it. And this song is going to talk about that. And this is our last one for this segment. And then I guess we'll be doing the song the pastor wrote, because our group song, the pastor wrote a couple of things. And we will do one more a cappella for you for the offering. So here we go. Are you ready? Oh, by the way, before we do that, too, let me just run down for those of you that most of you know everybody up here, but just in case you don't, from my left and your right, we have Mrs. Marsha Tompkins on alto. We have Jenny Tighe, our local celebrity on alto. So she's a standing ovation, right? I did youth group years ago with the teens. I taught them to stand, or if I stand, I go like this. That was a standing order. Next to her is our brother from East Bridgewater community, Mr. Dan Wood, right there. And of course, right here next to me is our only true base. And this guy, somebody said to me once, Jenny said, boy, you guys are like the best of friends, aren't you? And I said, well, that shows you how much trouble I have making friends. This is my brother, Brian Landis, right here, Kingsley Community Church. And seated at the piano is our fearless witness for Christ turning pages from Montrose, Pennsylvania, Mrs. Marty Demmer, right here. And we love Marty, don't we? And of course, our musical director of the group. And believe me, a lot of times we walk out of rehearsal when she's done, we're saying, yes, drill sergeant. And of course, I have to say, yes, But she does a great job directing the group, teaching vocal technique, Crane School of Music, voice major. She was a triple performance major, voice, piano, and believe it or not, French horn. The reason why she did French horn is because that's what she got the money for. They gave her the money for French horn, and they said, oh, here we go. But my lovely bride, Mrs. Heather Pierce, all of them. So this is our group here. And I mean, it's like, if you want, go ahead. And I paid one person to start clapping. Remember the message when I wake up to sleep no more, but even before that we've already won. And also, at the end, who's never at a loss for words, is Mr. Barney Yes, he's allowed to do that because he's Euphonium's too. He plays baritone. Alright, here we go. You've already won. darkness, hope that's in the blood. There's future grace that's mine today, that Jesus Christ has won. So I can face tomorrow, for tomorrow's in your hands.
