Come from far and wide to worship him
We need to praise God not man
The way of life not death
With us in spirit and truth

Open our minds and hearts to him not self

16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
John 6: 27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. g for them
