Song – “HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS”
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, all who live in it; for He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.”

Song – “WE ARE CLIMBING JACOB'S LADDER”
“He (Jacob) had a dream in which he saw a stairway (or ladder) resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.”
Genesis 28:12
Song – "WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN"
When the saints go marching in, we all want to be in their number, after death, to go to Heaven – a place where all the saints go. And to go there, we all have to be both, sinner & Saint, because a person who enters heaven is Redeemed by Christ on the cross, which then makes us saints.
“The sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light; The stars will fall from the sky; the heavenly bodies will be shaken. The heavens will open. He will come with the clouds. And every eye shall see him…” And those “in the grave hear His voice and the dead will come forth”. It will be “a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.”
