I just want to thank you Lord
Been so good . . .

GOD'S GOT IT
I once was young and now I'm old,
but I've never seen the righteous forsaken
nor His seed begging bread.
You just trust and believe
and when you ask you shall receive
(because the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof)
(my friend right now) it's yours.
I once was young and now I'm old,
but I've never seen the righteous forsaken
nor His seed begging for bread.
You just trust and believe
and when you ask you shall receive
whatever you want, God's got it,
whatever you need, He will supply
whatever you want, God's got it.
(my friend right now) it's yours.
Bridge
If you have the faith the size of a mustard seed,
you can move mountains;
it's according to what you say and believe
whatever you want from the Lord,
He'll give it to you.
Repeat Chorus
Vamp 1: God's got it.
Vamp 2:
God's got it,
God's got it,
God's got it,
the Lord will make a way that's why I say.
Vamp 3:
God's got it,
God's got it,
God's got it,
Hey, you can't find help nowhere else.
Ending:
(My friend right now)
It's yours . . . yours!
SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
GOING UP YONDER
If you want to know where I'm going
Where I'm going soon
If anybody asked you where I'm going
Where I'm going soon
I'm goin' up yonder
I'm goin' up yonder
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord
I'm goin' up yonder
I'm goin' up yonder
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord
I can take the pain, the heartaches they bring
The comfort's in knowing I'll soon be gone
As God gives me grace, I'll run this race
Until I see my Savior face to face
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord
If you want to know where I'm going
Where I'm going soon
If anybody asked you where I'm going
Where I'm going soon
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder (goin' up yonder)
I'm goin' up yonder
To be with my Lord

Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907)
Edmonia was the first sculptor of African American and Native American (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Her father was Black, and her mother was Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indian. A testament to Lewis’ renown as an artist came in 1877, when former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant commissioned her to do his portrait.
Aprille Ericsson-Jackson (age 66)
Dr. Aprille Ericsson-Jackson is an aerospace engineer and instrument manager at NASA’s prestigious Goddard Space Flight Center. She became the first African American female to receive a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University (Washington, DC), and the first African American female at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center to receive a Ph.D. in Engineering.
She has been recognized as one of the Top 50 Minority Women in Science and Engineering by the National Technical Association and has received the NASA Goddard Honor Award for Excellence in Outreach, the Washington Award for engineering achievements that advance the welfare of mankind, and a Science Trailblazers award from the Black Engineers of the Year Award Conference.

Sermon Title: “Pain In My Palace”
Scripture: 2 Samuel 13: 23-39
“Fireside Chat” Questions
- Why does success bring haters out? What can we do about them?
- The Cushite [black man} was sent to the rescue with the bad news
for the King. What are the implications for us doing the dirty jobs,
last hired, first fired?
- What does it mean to be trapped in your pain?
- How do we handle grief in our life and at the same time we want\need to be strong for everyone else?
- What can keep us from saying “All is well" when asked how we are doing? And you know all is not well in your soul? What can't we be honest?
- What does unhealthy grief look like?
- What was David's role in bringing “Pain in his Palace"?
- How do we as parents keep from doing wrong by our children?
- How do you react to the statement: "You have to deal with it [pain]?
- How can you "open it up"... the pain in your life?
- How does “Praise & Worship" help with dealing with pain in your life?
- What does it mean to "drop David" and "pick up Jesus"
- What does it mean to you to: Stay with Jesus”?
- What does resurrection look like in your life?
Listening to God’s Words and messages for you. Make a few personal notes as you listen. Revisit your notes during quiet time spent with the Lord over the coming week. Allow God to crystallize His truths in your life.
