A Lesson in Hymn Titles

By Mike Demory

 

A Charge to Keep I have,  to Raise the Banner of God’s Promise and to Throw Out the Lifeline to all who are Tempted and Tried. Since I Have Been Redeemed I am Resolved to Watch & pray, to Yield Not to Temptation and Be Not Dismayed. For having been Washed In the Blood I am Whiter Than Snow because He Bore it All On a Hill Far Away, At Calvary.

Though Your Sins Be As Scarlet you must Trust and Obey being Buried With Christ understanding that All To Jesus I Surrender. Although Faith Is The Victory, Did You Repent, Fully Repent? Only then will Blessed Assurance be ours When We Walk With The Lord. Some ask why Does Jesus Care?  But The Blessed Redeemer pleads for the world to Let Him In. Because Jesus Paid It All being Nailed To The Cross, then Low In The Grave He Lay until His Infinite Grace did Lift Him Up. Soul A Savior Thou Art Needing, Don’t You Want to Be Ready?

The Treasures of Earth can never compare to the Victory in Jesus. I Stand Amazed at how Everybody Ought to Know that The Church’s One Foundation is Jesus. Far too many are Drifting Along not Living For Jesus but Standing Outside The Love of God. They refuse to admit that Time Is Filled with Swift Transition. That there is meant for All People that On Earth Do Dwell to Prepare to Meet Thy God at The End of the Way.

Once saved, many Flee As a Bird from their duties. They forget that their Blessed Redeemer said, “I Gave My Life for Thee.” My obedience requires that I’ll Be a Friend To Jesus, for Jesus Is Calling me to Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus by Sowing the Seed of The Kingdom. Multitudes procrastinate by thinking Some Day I’ll Live For Him, but forgetting that Tomorrow May Be Too Late. The Call For Workers goes unheeded, showing we need to learn More About Jesus, and care enough to Rescue the Perishing and to Ring Out The Message that There’s A Great Day Coming!

In Memory Of The Savior’s Love, willingly I Surrender All with Each Step I Take to Do All In The Name of The Lord. It must be for a Closer Walk With God that I say Give Me the Bible to help Lead Me Gently Home, Father. Nowhere but By His Wonderful Grace does the Father of Mercies promise A Beautiful Life Where the Soul Never Dies. Just Beyond Life’s Sunset lies the Home of The Soul, that Wonderful City of God, where Did E’er Such Love which proves how He Cares For Me. So If I Walk In the Pathway of Duty, if I daily Kneel At The Cross, and Pray All The Time asking “O To Be Like Thee, Purer In Heart, O God” choosing to live on Higher Ground, I may live with hope that There Is A Crown for Me.

One Day When All Labors and Trials Are O’er we will all come Face To Face with our own Resurrection. When I Can Read My Title Clear I’ll Fly Away Above the Bright Blue Where Peace Like a River shall Never Grow Old. All the saints will Praise Him, Praise Him for He alone is Holy, Holy, Holy. For In The Land of Fadeless Day God Shall Wipe Away All Tears.

But until that glorious day We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes and Lift Him Up, Jesus, Rose of Sharon. Because I’m Not Ashamed to Own My Lord, or to Send the Light or go Anywhere With Jesus. For It Pays to Serve Jesus because Earth Holds No Treasures as valuable as Beulah Land. You should Count Your Blessings that being found faithful in the end Jesus Will Give You Rest. Yes, Heaven Will Surely Be Worth It All if we walk in the Footprints of Jesus Seeking the Lost. Can He Depend on You?
