SICK & SHUT IN PARISHIONERS
#309 - “HIGHER GROUND”
"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall
raise him up…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much” (James 5:15-16).
1. I’m pressing on the upward way, new heights I’m gaining ev’ry day; Still
praying as I onward bound, “Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

2. My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay; tho’
some may dwell where those abound, my pray’r, my aim is higher
ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height and catch a gleam of glory bright; but
still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found, “Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
Chorus: Lord, lift me up and let me stand, by faith, on heaven’s table land,
a higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and t h y
presses shall burst out with new wine (Proverbs 3:9-10).
Laity:
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are
cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation (Malachi 3:8-9).
Leader: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat
in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of
hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you
out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for you to receive it (Malachi 3:10).
Laity:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these
ought ye have done, and not to leave the other undone (Matthew
23:23).
Leader: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into
your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it
shall be measured to you again (Luke 6:38).
All:
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully.
Every man according as he purposed in his heart, so let him give;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver (2
Corinthians 9:6-7).

ATTENTION ALL ST. JOHN MEMBERS: Some really good
things are happening within the various ministries at St.
John. Strong spiritual bonds and camaraderie between Christian
brothers and sisters are developed in ministries. Disciples are
strengthened through the work performed in service unto God
and His people in ministries. If you’re not involved in ministry,
you too can accomplish this and more by uniting with one of the
3M Ministries listed on the back of your bulletin. Why
3M? Because we are “Mission-Minded-Ministries” seeking
“Mission-Minded-Members!” Please pray and ask God to guide
and direct you to the ministry most appropriate for your gift and
talent.
