This is a time remember - Hymn With Lyrics

1. This is a time to remember the greatness of the Lord;
He has so faithfully led us as promised in His Word;
He has so bountif'lly given His grace like freshening rain;
He has so lovingly pardoned and made us whole again.

2. This is a time to remember the glories that have been;
This is a time to press onward to vistas yet unseen; for
Christ is alive in His people, He meets us face to face; He
Grants us the power of His Spirit to serve Him in this place.

3. This is a time to remember the Church is His, not ours;
This is a time to surrender ourselves, our wealth, our powers;
This is a time to be servants to give ourselves away,
Building the Church of the future until the coming day.

Scripture; Deuteronomy 8:2,Psalm 63:6, Ezekiel 34:26, Matthew 16:18
