It Is Not Death to Die!

We’ve had two long-suffering saints from our church unlock the door that set them free from mortal years over the last couple of weeks.  Henri Malan captured the hope that is ours in Christ in this song.  If you can read the text or listen to the song without tears of joy coming to your…

Sunday, Sunday, So Good To Me
