SUNDAY SELECTIONS

Welcome to Sunday Selections ,Today is an exciting day, so I must hurry LOL so many have been out sick but a new dawn has broken & the praise team is ready to back the choir up with Praise & Thanksgiving as we start off with DAYS OF ELIJAH
For our hymnal selections,
* I NEVER SHALL FORGET THE DAY
*I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY LORD












"I Never shall Forget The Day" Have you forgotten when Jesus saved you, when you had no hope within saved you .cleansed you, gave you peace & joy within, have you forgotten all the times he's came through for you, made all the rough roads smooth "when trials comes he comforts me" if you've never heard of this song, I encourage you to read through it & let it minister to you

Long years ago when out in sin I had no hope no peace within
Down on my knees in agony I prayed to Jesus & he gladly set me free
(chorus)
I NEVER SHALL FORGET THE DAY WHEN ALL THE BURDENS OF MY SOUL WERE ROLLED AWAY IT MADE ME HAPPY GLAD & FREE, ILL SING & SHOUT IT FOR HE'S EVERYTHING TO ME
Now I can feel him by my side, my feeble steps he comes to guide
When trials comes he comforts me thru faith in him over sin I have the victory
(chorus)
O sinner come to Jesus now,at his dear feet just humbly bow
Confess to him your every sin, he will save & cleanse you
Give you you peace & joy within
(chorus)

I Never Shall Forget The day was written by George Thomas Speer, born in a sharecroppers cabin in Fayette country Georgia in 1891, taught at shaped notes singing schools, sang at many rural singing conventions, married in 1921 & organized the Speer Quartet, over the next 15 years he trained each of his four children to sing & play instruments, gradually converting into The Singing Speer Family, he wrote many gospel songs, also including Heavens Jubilee, The Dearest Friend I Ever Had, He Is Mine And I am His

We hope you've enjoyed Sunday Selections, think about the songs you sing, what they mean, where's they come from, what inspired them, I pray that each of you have a wonderful blessed day, for this is a new day, a day that the Lord has made & I will rejoice & be glad in it
