Praise
I felt a real need to share this

During the last week, whilst leading a bible study for the first time ever, I felt a melody come into my heart of a song that I hadn't sung for so long that I couldn't remember the words beyond the first line. I resolved to do this for worship tomorrow. I have just been practicing and the words so accurately describe how I feel at the moment that I felt I had to share it with you:-
I will sing the wondrous story Of the Christ who died for me How He left His home in glory For the cross on Calvary 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
I was bruised but Jesus healed me Faint was I from many a fall Sight was gone and fears possessed me But He freed me from them all Days of darkness still come o'er me Sorrow's paths I often tread But the Saviour 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 All my joys in Him complete 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.
(Frances Harold Rawley)
So much of this song is in line with what I have had on my heart over these last 2 weeks. I can't wait to be singing this story by the crystal sea with you all.
God bless.

I'm not sure that I'm humming the right tune to these words. But an accurate portrayal of a contrite heart finding peace in the saving grace of Christ.

Awesome. I am trying to get the courage to learn to play the guitar & I can see myself singing this while playing. Thank you so much for sharing this!
