| Jeremiah 11:18-23 Andrea Hammond sings "You Take It All" | 11 juil. 2025 | 00:18:22 | |
The Lord made it known to me and I knew; Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.”

More from the hosts: Lyrics to "Laid on Him" All we like sheep have gone astray Everyone has turned to his own way And the Lord has laid on him All of our iniquity and all our sin Laid on him
Oppressed and afflicted No deceit in Your tongue Castaway with the wicked God’s only Son. And the Lord has laid on him All of our iniquity and all our sin Laid on him
Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, Hallelujah

Deliver me from seeking my revenge At the shrine of retribution And I trust that Lord You have forgiven me And I received Your absolution

Chorus: But Abner; Your hands were not bound; None showed you mercy You were the debtor For want of forgiveness
Don’t want to live a lie Empty and alone For want of forgiveness A fool without friends Take my heart of stone I have been forgiven | |||

My heart goes out To those of you Who offered themselves So willingly
My heart can sing Melodies to the Lord Those that love You shall be With a heart restored
When the Lord went before us The heavens came down The clouds dropped their water And You shook the ground
(Chorus) We were so tired And hope was gone Out of the silence We hear a song Restoration
Hear O kings All you in high places Let us sing Sing to the God who saves us Restoration | |||
