Christians dare not be strangers to the Bible. The Word cannot get into you and me until we first get into it.
When it gets in us, it will control us as we allow God to lead us for His glory — not ours.
Then we will have a heart of praise for the victories our faithful Lord brings us through.
Psalm 119:16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Psalm 89:1 I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
I will sing the wondrous story
_______________________
“I will sing the wondrous story — Of the Christ Who died for me; — How He left His home in glory — For the cross of Calvary.
Chorus:
“Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story — Of the Christ Who died for me, — Sing it with the saints in glory, — Gathered by the crystal sea.
“I was lost, but Jesus found me, — Found the sheep that went astray, — Threw His loving arms around me, — Drew me back into His way.
“Days of darkness still come o’er me, — Sorrow’s paths I often tread, — But The Savior still is with me; — By His hand I’m safely led.
“He will keep me till the river — Rolls its waters at my feet; — Then He’ll bear me safely over, — Where the loved ones I shall meet.”
Francis H. Rowley 1886
