When the Saviour Came My Way

Look what I found when I searched "praising the Lord God for his goodness"  =)

...Poems and hymns of praise at Wholesome Words...




You ask me why I love the Lord.

Well, friend, just let me say

Life was not worth living

'Till the Saviour came my way.

You say I lose so much in life.

Yes, friend, PRAISE GOD, I do.

I lose the sin and sorrow

Which was all I ever knew.

I lose the days spent seeking joy,

The long nights full of tears;

I lose the heavy burdens,

Which I carried through the years.

But friend, I would not have them back

For all that you could pay.

My life was not worth living

'Till the Saviour came my way.

I am come that they might have life,

and that they might have it more abundantly.  

John 10:10b

And this one is perfect for today as I purpose to seek God's peace...

O Christ, in Thee My Soul Hath Found

O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found   And found in Thee alone, The peace, the joy I sought so long,   The bliss till now unknown. I sighed for rest and happiness,   I yearned for them, not Thee; But while I passed my Saviour by,   His love laid hold of me. Now none but Christ can satisfy,   None other name for me; There's love, and life, and lasting joy,   Lord Jesus, found in Thee.       --Author unknown

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
