Cheers!

I will have no fear, but be of good cheer,
For God Almighty lives in here.
His promise is clear, He is my financier,
And I’ve made the choice to rejoice all the year.

He’s given me His very own Spirit to drink,
And His Word, upon which to think.
In this I invite you - to be my peers,
To one and to all, now I say, “Cheers!”

Matt 9:2-8
2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you."

3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes!"

4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, 'Arise and walk'? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins" — then He said to the paralytic, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." 7 And he arose and departed to his house.

8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.
