SALVATION'S SONG*

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
                                                        --Romans 12:1

SALVATION'S SONG 

Father, regard not the flesh that shudders

Or the dust on trembling knees,

But fill us with truth and mercy

'Til worldly tumults cease.

For who can tally the worth of the bitter cross

Where Satan's loathsome crime was undone?

Oh, neither the world nor it's weighty treasures

Compare to the crown Christ Jesus won.

O Jesus-- our King, our Shepherd

Our holy and merciful Lord--

Your precious blood, it brought us life

The everlasting word.

Some people think they have alot--

Some people claim some right--

But we only desire to follow you,

And to hold aloft that perfect Light--

(So that another soul might see God's mercy

When that cross by death from death set free--

Our desperate plight, our hopelessness

Washed away, at Calvary.)

Now we are gathered in one by Jesus Christ

To nevermore walk alone;

Now, for his glory we lay down everything

To resound salvation's song.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. neither have entered into the heart of man, the things God hath prepared for those that love him.
