O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

O Love that wilt not let me go,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be

O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

David Phelps:

May my name be found amongst them

Someone wrote this…..

“I used to do a lot of pulpit supply and I wanted to be funny, cool and popular. One evening I was visiting with an older preacher and he said, ‘When a man enters the pulpit, he stands between God and God’s people.’

That changed me forever.

The next time I entered a pulpit, a dread fell on me, I knew that there were lost souls listening to me. My knees and hands trembled, my heart broke and the Gospel became an urgent necessity. I never preached another sermon without a path to the cross, without a clear proclamation of the Gospel and rarely without hot tears.”

God bless the faithful pastors who preach the Words of life.

May my name be found amongst them.
