He Lifted Me
Sunday, Oct 19th, 2008 by Janna
In loving-kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame,
Through grace He lifted me.
From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me;
From shades of night to plains of light,
O, praise His name, He lifted me!
Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know ’tis well;
Yet how or why, I cannot tell,
He should have lifted me.
- From the hymn, He Lifted Me, by Charles H. Gabriel (1856-1932)
What a beautiful picture!
Thanks for tagging me for the six random things! I’ve posted my answers on my blog.
Take care!

Thank you Janna.
This should be very* helpful to me, in sermon preparation. May the Lord continue to bless and use you as you abide in Him and serve Him.
In-Christ,
