THE NATION THAT IS BLESSED. (A RECORDED SERVICE FOR JULY 4th FROM SOUTH NORFOLK BAPTIST CHURCH). (PART 2)
All Americans should celebrate
the 4th of July and remember the shared heritage that we have together. 
We should be thankful for those who founded our country; their religious and moral values.  We should be thankful for those men and women who, through the years, have sacrificed their lives, that we might enjoy the freedoms we have in our country.
This should be a time to come together in faith, hope, and love....and not division...and celebrate our shared American heritage.
During these days of uncertainty, with the outbreak of the coronovirus, we offer the following words and music of inspiration and assurance.
We encourage all Christians to Pray and read their Bible daily.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."  (2 Timothy 7:1)

"THE KING OF LOVE MY SHEPHERD IS" (SNBC Choir with Soloist Mrs. Stella Pierce).

The King of love my shepherd is,

Whose goodness faileth never;

I nothing lack if I am his

And he is mine forever.

 

Where streams of living water flow,

My ransomed soul he leadeth

And, where the verdant pastures grow,

With food celestial feedeth.

 

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,

But yet in love he sought me

And on his shoulder gently laid

And home rejoicing brought me.

(Repeat)

 

In death's dark vale I fear no ill

With thee, dear Lord, beside me,

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,

Thy cross before to guide me.

 

Thou spredst a table in my sight;

Thine unction grace bestoweth;

And, oh, what transport of delight

With which my cup o'floweth!

 

And so through all the length of days

Thy goodness faileth never.

Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise

Within thy house forever.
