Pastoral Benediction Max E. Reddick
*Choral BenedictionGod sent His Son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive. He lived and died to buy my pardon, an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living just because he lives.
