When I was getting out of bed this morning, this wonderful old song by Charles Butler came to my mind. It brought back many wonderful memories. I have heard my husband sing this song many times when we traveled in the evangelistic field years ago. It was his testimony, and he always sang it from the depths of his soul. And even though I heard it many times, it always touched my heart!
I trust these words will minister to your heart today, and if you are far from the Saviour, remember that Whosoever Will may come!
"I was once far away from the Saviour, and as vile as a sinner could be;
I wondered if Christ the Redeemer could save a poor sinner like me.
I wandered on in the darkness -- not a ray of light could I see,
And the thought filled my heart with sadness -- there's no hope for a sinner like me.
And then---in that dark, lonely hour---a Voice whispered sweetly to me,
Saying---Christ the Redeemer has power to save a poor sinner like thee.
I listened, and lo! 'twas the Saviour, who was speaking so kindly to me;
I cried -- I'm the chiefest of sinners -- canst Thou save a poor sinner like me?
I then fully trusted in Jesus, and O what a joy came to me!
My heart was filled with His praises, for He saved a poor sinner like me.
No longer in darkness I'm walking, for the light is now shining on me,
And now unto others I'm telling how He saved a poor sinner like me.
And when life's journey is over, and I the dear Saviour shall see,
I'll praise Him forever and ever, for saving a sinner like me."
