First Presbyterian Church of Baton Rouge

Once we were nothing. But now we are his possession. We have received his mercy. Our task is to declare this good news. To be living stones.

1 Peter 2: 4-10
Identity Shaping Churches
Josh Maddin

Please pray through this setting of Psalm 45.

My heart does overflow, a goodly theme is mine;
My eager tongue with joyful song does praise the King divine.
Supremely fair you are, your lips with grace overflow,
His richest blessings evermore does God on you bestow.

Amid your glorious train kings’ daughters waiting stand,
And fairest gems bedeck your bride, the queen at your right hand.
O royal bride, give heed, and to my words attend;
In Christ, the King, forsake the world and every former friend.
Based on Psalm 45, from The Psalter, 1912.
