We have Christ's own promise, which can never fail.

226. YOUR ANOINTING CAME
.... ..... . FUE DEL C/ELO LA .. UNCION

LOTW Praxedis Alonso/ Gal 1.11 HONOR/ Rom 9.11 ELECTION
Your anointing came from heaven and the Lord,
Your blest election was not by men or through men;
You're a fountain that flows along the pathway,
Where all sinners may quench and sate their thirst.
CHORUS
Yes, 'tis the glory that to Jacob was revealed,
Through the ages, 'twas remembered as a rite;
Now we're living the joy of God's salvation,
All one body through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2
Oh, the promise, dearest Jacob, God gave you,
This was a promise, that the Lord granted you;
Your descendants like sand will grow in numbers,
And forever be blessed by our Lord.
3
If your language speaks of Jesus and His love,
Through the great gift He has bestowed on those He loved;
God spoke to Jacob while he was dreaming,
And in awe, Jacob understood the Lord.

LOTW Felix Cordero/ Is 65.15 ELECTION/ 2 Tim 1.8 HONOR
It was on April sixth, 'twas a day of great blessing,
You anointed a man to give the world salvation
His name was once Eusebio, but you changed his name to Aaron,
//"From this day your name is Aaron,"
These were words spoken by God.//
