Passion for Praise: 'Out of Your Dark Cell'

Saturday, October 16, 2004

Some of you were locked in a dark cell, cruelly confined behind bars... not a soul in sight to help. Then you called out to GOD in your desperate condition; he got you out in the nick of time. He led you out of your dark, dark cell, broke open the jail and led you out. So thank GOD for his marvelous love, for his miracle mercy to the children he loves.
— Psalm 107:10-15 MESSAGE
