47
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,839

51
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,680

52
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,640

54
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,400

00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: sing praise, sing unto the Lord, with the harp, with

58
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: the harp and the voice of a psalm, with trumpets

59
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: and the sound of a cornet, Make a joyful noise

60
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,240

00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: and the people with equity. When we are overwhelmed by

66
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: darkness in our world, we can sing this song of

67
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,839

Speaker 2: and picture the most wonderful celebration taking place in a

72
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,920

Speaker 2: beautiful voice. The mountains shake, and the sea's roar at

75
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: the Lord's arrival. In this moment, there is no one

76
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: crying out in pain and suffering. There is just the truth,

77
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: mubulent song of the fulfillment of hope and the manifestation

Speaker 2: Think of a time when you cast unnecessary judgment on someone.

84
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: Confess any arrogance in your heart. Ask for God's forgiveness.

85
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: Ask for him to remind you that He is the

Speaker 2: righteous judge who will bring the type of mercy and

87
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,200
