April 16,2022 @4:29 am I'm on duty , patient rebuked my fellow security guard. I'm posted outside the room playing this song on my phone,poor man is anxious and confused,somewhat aggressive. Please pray for everyone going through dementia, parkinson's and related illnesses that affect the brain, in Jesus mighty name Amen
Thank you
Feb. 3,2023 @11:01am I'm a caregiver for an elderly patient with dementia who just had a rough morning. After settling her into her recliner, I played this song for her. She is now relaxed and sleeping. God is good! He calms the confusion and brings rest to the soul and mind. ❤️
Amen. He will wipe away every tear. Lord Jesus we love You.

Thanks for your entry (as well for the security guard’s original post).
I took a unit of Clinical Pastoral Education many years ago and was assigned to an adult day care ward. As well as to another ward with full time residents, some of whole had dementia.
People with dementia tend to feel lost and often don’t know why. As a student chaplain, what I did was bring my guitar and played old time hymns similar to this song. It always made the difference. Even those who couldn’t remember their names, suddenly were able to remember the lyrics of songs like How Great Thou Art.
Music, especially worship music, has an unique ability to bring the best of out of us. When David played his harp in Saul’s Court - it brought Saul peace of mind (and King Saul likely had a terrible case of dementia going-on at the time)
There is a beautiful movie called A Trip to Bountiful and it’s on TH-cam. They haven’t taken it down. Softly and Tenderly is the theme song. Check it out.
God bless
Amen may lord Jesus bless you and heal you all and wipe every tear away
I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever
Keep it up, even if it means standing alone. You will NEVER regret being on God’s side.
I am in my 20s, I have so many friends full of heart breaking regrets because of bad decisions and neglecting biblical principles.
I too felt this same way when I was your age. I was in college & joined the Baptist Student Union, where I met wonderful Christian friends who made me feel welcomed & loved. Although I felt very burdened by a sense of who I was & wanted to know the truth of how to change my life from all the hurting. I hope you see my message and that you are in a better place. Jesus calls us as individuals, so in different ways. so
I will pray that your heart is closer to Jesus & you know how much he cares & loves you.
Stand strong, young man of courage and Valor.
You are precious in God's sight
💗
You're wise beyond your years, dear. In my 70th year, I am testament to the power of prayer and unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. Found this song with your comment on the occasion of laying to rest my dear sweet kitten. Coincidentally, it is dedicated to Lois & that is my name!😊 keep the faith! 💖🤗🥰
I still need these hymns in 2023... I pray God helps us to know his voice in this world of noise and that he will help us to listen to his voice which is the only one that makes a difference. In Jesus's name Amen.
Amen. Am here because the holy spirit led me to this song so I checked it out on TH-cam. Hallelujah ❤
Absolutely, I love ❤️ these hymnswe sang these hymns as a child in SCHOOL AND IN CHURCH it draws me closer to OUR FATHER, CHRIST THE SAVIOUR AND THE COMFORTER THE HOLY SPIRIT ! BLESSINGS TO YOU 🙏
Anybody who reads this i ask please pray for me, my name is David. Thank you and god bless.
Hope everything is better now. 🙏🏼
❤ David I wil say a pray for you today. Keep the faith. 🙏
David, I don't know what your prayer needs are, but I just now did lift you up to my Jesus. May the peace that passes all understanding softy rest on your sweet soul. He knows you by name. You are His. 💜💜💜💜💜
🙏✝️🌻❤️
I heard a young girl singing this solo at the salvation army. We have now een married for 42 years.
This is a beautiful video
Bless you for sharing this memory with us. If only life was like that for everyone.....
Fantastic life!
it is now 51 years and we are still in love and together in the love of each other and also with the Lord Jesus
@@normansandey That is beautiful! May God continue to richly bless and keep you!
@@normansandey That is wonderful!!
I get so much more comfort and encouragement out of the Old Hymns. It breaks my heart that we don't get more of it in our church!
So true!
True , So Sad
Me too
Me too. There is comfort there
Stay away from the rock and roll churches of today
I wanted a very beautiful, meaningful & special hymn played at my Mother's funeral when she was called home in 2014. I chose this. 😥✝️
I got baptized today and this song was sung, most awesome day of my life. will always love this song. God is so mighty, He will take us through anything unscathed as long as we surrender to Him
Amen and amen
....Mark 16:16

God Bless You
I cried to ur post. Because I still remember mine as well. 25 years ago
Beautiful. thank you for posting. No drums, no clapping, no wild musicians, just right.
Amen!
Amen!
It is written: Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."
Amen and Amen
Amen
As a baby I was nursed to sleep by my grandmother rocking me and singing this hymn. That was 75 years ago, and I have always loved it. I have never heard it sung more beautifully. Thank you. So many of these Gospel hymns have been left out of modern hymn books because it is felt that they are too emotional and sentimental. But how can we embrace the love of Jesus without emotion?
This song stirs my soul like no other. Reminds me of when I first heard the gospel at 14 and received Him as my Saviour. Jesus you have me forever !
Mom fading fast-won't be with us more than another few hours. This song came into my heart💖 Love you, Mom. Thank you, Jesus, for softly and tenderly taking her Home!+!+!+
I am in the same place, as I sit by my mom's bed at the nursing home, listening to her breath. This song comes to my heart.
sending the love of Christ
Thank you, Abba, for blessing us with our sweet Mommas.
When we all get to heaven
What a day of rejoicing that will be.
When we all see Jesus
We'll sing and shout for VICTORY!
Victory in Jesus
My savior forever He sought me, and He bought me with his redeeming blood..
He called me err I knew Him and all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory with His redeeming blood! Hallelujah!!
I was lost. I was sad and depressed. And I always ask God to help me get back to him and this. This made me cry. ❤️😭
I love this song makes me happy that I know Jesus is always with me
Thank you Sherwin, we need to return to this way of believing, thinking & feeling in this country & all over the world. Let it be so, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Finally- a hymn that is sung properly, at a proper tempo, with good harmony and no jazzed up instrumentals. It almost seems as thought people have forgotten how to sing hymns, perhaps because so many have forgotten hymns altogether. Hymns have largely been replaced by "christianized" pop music performed by entertainers.

I don't think teens of my age like these but I do, there is no cool stuff that can take away me from Jesus's love. His word is true, and these hymns actually lead me to Jesus. NO DOUBT MY FAVOURITE BEDTIME HYMN
Ty my friend good morning
This hymm brings me to tears every time i hear it ❤ the good kind of tears
God bless, my friend. True Christianity is rare nowadays
I’m a teen, and I’m a huge fan of very traditional hymns. I just want a piano and sheet music that was sung in the 1800s and I’m chilling for life forever.
Couldn’t agree more, in spite of my age, I find it incredibly.
Played at Martin L King’s funeral and described as THE most beautiful hymn. Agreed.
through this I remember my childhood huhuhu when I was 1yearold to 14yearold I and mom leaving at the mountain side very far from our neighborhood we only hear the birds sound and all kinds of animal sound I really miss that time ,sometimes I'll cry if recall those memorable experience with my mom and every Sunday my mom brought me to the church that was a very good things that her legacy to me ,and now I'm already 27 years old and my mom is 67yearsold and I'm very far from her I'm working outside the country and my brother taking care of her and I'm so bless coz God gave her a good health and I pray that God will continue giving her a long life and I love you Jesus Christ
...
The old traditional hymns are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Still listening in 2020.
Me too
2023.
& in 2023 also
I love the Old Fashion Hymns more than any of the new ones as they have more heart felt feel in their words.
I agree with you
I sure agree. Please pray for my sister Laurie, thanks!
Yes far better
Me too. I'm so glad I was raised in a church with these wonderful hymns.
Yes
no time to delay now is the accepted time Jesus is waiting to receive you right now.
Amen!
Today is the day of salvation!
Amen, hallelujah, come back soon, Lord Jesus Christ.✝❤✝❤✝❤✝
I love songs that calm the soul as we understand the great love that God has for all. He love is beyond understanding that He cares for all people in giving His only Son to die in our place because of our sin. We will some day be able to bow down and give Him perfect praise for making everything necessary to make heaven our eternal home. Heaven is looking better all the time.
That's right.
Fjdyguh
Amen, well said.
I'm a backslider but I'm glad to so much that this song were calling me again to come home and return to him, help me please coz I'm weak oh lord my God,
Jonathan sebastian, I’d strongly recommend you spend more time in the Word of God and in prayer. DL Moody used to sign Bibles and he’d write “this book will keep you out of sin, or sin will keep you out of this book.”
I had this played at my husbands funeral. I have always liked this old hymn. Linda Monk
I'm sure your husband was a wonderful man.. And a lover of Jesus Christ.. And he's at home now.
@ Linda Monk---very sorry for your loss, Linda--may God be with you, to comfort and care for you, and yours.
May our Lord and saviour bless you and your husband. May both of you be free to enter our father's kingdom with peace and joy!
Aww I'm so sorry for your loss. I sang it at my Grandmothers. It's sad to listen.
Someday you'll be home with him
SO beautiful!! So softly and tenderly JESUS calls..Praise HIS name!
Wow beautiful
My mom died January 15, 1987. I was pregnant with my youngest son, and 33 years old. Tomorrow my momma will have been gone 29 years. I miss her and wish she could have lived to see her youngest Grandchild's birth. This song always touches me deeply and the first time I heard it was during the show "The Trip To Bountiful." I had tears and thought immediately of my momma. What a wonderful song that gives such hope and helps to remain steadfast in our/my faith in Jesus! Thank you Lord for giving people such wonderful gifts, as this song, to share with us!
Mustang Sally
how poignant...
Mustang Sally
Yes...
I believe she does see.....
Beautifully said. Thanks Mustang.
RIP Mum
God is still calling you and for me to make our way right with him before it's too late. But no one is inclining their ears unto him anymore.
Not true. It feels and appears so but true. Many live in total obedience to God's will but its not a faith that publicly declared. Am a Christian and a proud one at that. Am here because the holy spirit gave me this as I discussed one or two things with him. It was His reply amongst others to me. Keep up the faith and God bless and increase you
The song 'Softly and Tenderly's is speaking to us who are alive now, to heed to God's pleading and accept him in to our lives.
Got saved to this song❤
One of the most beautiful hymns I know that reminds me of the price Jesus paid for us, then asks us to come to Him as we are, ready to receive us if we are willing and obedient.
Though we strive so much to make "a living", the true living as we know it shall be through what He has prepared for us in the life to come, eternally with Him in our new homes prepared for us by our Lord.
Indeed Lord Jesus, we have found great refuge in Your presence and look forward to when You will either come back to rule here on earth or You call us "home" to You.
Maranatha!
Amen brother!
Amen
Amen 🙏
AMEN! COME QUICKLY OUR BLESSED KING!
I love this also. I am in 4th stage inoperable cancer. I look for soothing songs on You Tube. You Tube and it's comforting songs is a blessing to me Softly and Tenderly is a favorite, it is such a beautiful song it fills me with hope of a beautiful next life. I hope Lois recovers and send her my prayers.. It is so touch going through cancer but I still greet people with a smile and try to stay positive. God works miracles is it's his will. Please send Lois the above poem that I wrote one night when I was despondent.
I hope our lord Jesus Christ gives you all the comfort you seek.
Ivy jackson Nine months is a long time. I trust that since you were here, listening to the Christ-honoring music that our brother Sherwin has posted here, that you are born again. If that's the case, I suspect there will be some, perhaps many, who will miss you when you go to be with the Lord. Look at it this way. You have lived in a little shack down here on earth for as long as you can remember. Right over the hill is a beautiful mansion, made perfectly, just for you!! I hope you can go there rejoicing.
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
God loves and needs you. Just trust Him.
Matthew 28 :20
And I am with you always , until the end of time . "
I am very sorry to hear about the cancer. I hope the Great Physician heals you completely and gives you rest and comfort until He calls you home.
Whenever i hear this song I shade tears, i always realize how much God loves me,no matter how bad i am,i love you Lord 🙏🙏🙏
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 6, Lent 4), we sang this as the Hymn of the Day. Ditto for me as I filled in at a local Lutheran Church. It is #608 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
What a great song Yes He is calling for us to come home with him.
Doris Breen
Yep, Jesus calls through the Gospel.
Thank you sesamonte for putting all of these hymms together
Amin! God bless us!
I’m ready to go home. 80yrs old. Feb 2020.
I can never thank you enough for your playlists! They are like a breath from heaven! I have shared some of the songs with my wayward son and they have been instrumental in his return to faith. Only in eternity will you know how many you have blessed!
I am a brazilian catholic born and my life just completly changed since I was baptized in the SDA church.
I lived in America when I was in my early 20's but only back in Brazil did I get to know the best that America has to offer: the SDA Church, wich is where I find the real Christian teachings and see my life being transformed.
Thank You Jesus.
Well, praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, Welcome to the faith!
The SDA church is a false church sister. Ellen G. White is satanic and a false prophet. Save yourself before it is too late. Please let me know if u want me to send u a few videos to easily refute their heresy. Your very soul is at stake. 🙏💚
@@razzles5338 true...find a non denominational church...all these false denominations and doctrines of devils with half truths to mislead people...
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, ESV)
God bless you.
this song got me tears.
moms church friends sang this for her the night before she went to glory...how angelic the voices brings a tear to this old Mules eye
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your goodness, mercies, faithfulness and love for us that is from everlasting to everlasting. To You be the Glory and Honor for ever and ever .. we love You LORD ❤ .. in Jesus name amen.
I believe when we draw nigh to Him, we come home also, not only when we pass away.
Mamaluchka H. Yes. I certainly agree. Whenever I stray in my walk, talk and thoughts as I endeavor by the Holy Spirit's help to journey with God the Father.
It fits me every minute of every day when the Holy Spirit points out my erring ways.
Today was one such day. He led me to Matthew 18 on forgiving others always, especially when they cause you to sin; and then, by His Spirit, He led me to this beautiful hymn of His mercy, grace and love toward us all. Thank you Lord Jesus and thank you brother.
In Christ with you,
Arlette McNeill
We're All sinners and come short of the glory of God. So repent of your sins and accept jesus as your personal Lord and saviour.
2020 What a great moment to remember that Jesus is near and pleading for you and for me even during pandemic.
one who desires to know Christ the more, must surely love christ to this hymn....
GOD IS ALWAYS calling us! But there are distinctive moments in this call of his, moments which leave a permanent mark on us-
moments which we never forget
You are so right Judith. No wonder how the Holy spirit work on hearts
This is one of the many songs I want played at my funeral when it's my time.
May the Lord be with you and guide you,giving you the strength and wisdom you may need in Jesus name Amen
The first hymn my mum taught me in 1994 from the GOLDEN BELLS hymnal. She died in 2008 but I hear her rich alto voice whenever I hear this song.
When my sister was murdered this hymn came to my mind R I P Dana
Agreed, old huyms have pure messages, bring me so close to my Saviour. The new songs are just happy flappy entertainment.
Softly and Tenderly is one of my favorite gospel hymns. Such a beautiful song
I’ve been trying to get my son to sleep for 3 hours. He was scared by all the Halloween decorations he’s seen over the past few weeks. This song put him right to sleep. Thanks be to the Great Comforter.
Amen ☺️
🙏
Of course, we should be scared to death with all the demonic exhibitions. You see, the effect it has on your son is the intended result the devil worshippers want to achieve. The servants of the devil want you to believe that it is just an entertainment. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. Your son has experienced the difference.
Softly and Tenderly was one of my late Mother's favorite gospel hymns. It is a most joyful invitation to all who will heed it's message of of eternal life.
Today, I attended the funeral of one of my mother's friends at a local Presbyterian Church. She lived to be 102. This was the Processional Hymn.
Hal what a blessing!! Our future is already settled in heaven. Jesus shed his blood
so that we could have eternal life with our redeemer.
You MUST endure until the END to be saved!
This is my favourite hymn
Very true if one is not saved he is waiting for us
Jesus is still at the door calling to make the difference in your life. Why refuse him. tomorrow may be late. decide now and believe in him and you never regret ever doing so .a great invitation to all.... very emotional.
Beautiful message, sleep in peace Lois, with Jesus!!
This is music from my childhood and a family life rich in faith. We need to leave the cruelty, chaos and misery of the world behind to renew ourselves so that we can deal with it. These songs made me cry and long for more loved ones who've gone home.
+jim smith Work hard to stay on the path each day. Christ remains the center of my life.
+Ursula Caraway Hallelujah, sister Ursula, May THE NAME be exalted in your life. That may touch someone's life, think about that!
All good thoughts, prayers and wishes are always welcomed and appreciated! Thank you!
Ursula Caraway amen

I first heard this song in the movie "The Trip to Bountiful" and now I have the video and I listen to it on the pc as well. What a beautiful hymn!
Mr Ray L. Man of great faith & love, now in his home with God .Miss you Mr Ray, one day I part we will greet once more
For this beautiful hymn helps people to decern & to hear Gods call to A life of service or to come home to the Catholic church for in his church the minute we cross the threshold as we enter into his Holy Church we are in his presence with his arms open wide calling to you to come home to the true Faith of the Roman Catholic church
A song from my past ...throughout my life Jesus has called me ...
Many are called but few are chosen. ..
ofcos, God is calling for you and for me...... so lovely. may God bless you people
Dear Lois and Rebecca we are praying for you. May the Lord bless you always.
we played this song at my grandfathers funeral. i miss him soooo much. and i get tearey eyed everytime i hear this song. God will help me. thank you for addin this song.
This sobering song reminds me of the old, old days of my childhood. It revives my faith in the Lord
God bless you my brother 🙏
This is the song that was sung when I was saved, I'm sad sometimes to think that my granddaughter will never hear this song in church, but I will teach it to her.
Prayers in Jesus' Name! Amen!
May she be healed by the stripes of our saviour Jesus Christ
All the older hymns all tell us about our
Lord and savior and if we trust him he will take care of us
May the Lord bless the composer of this hymn in Jesus name. And may the world heed the call
LOIS is my aunt's name. My last aunt and the one to whom I've been the closest all my life.
A lifelong deeply devout Christian, she is approaching 94 and is now suffering from dementia.
I ask all who read this to pray for her. She has been a lovely human being and is suffering so now. I pray she is made whole again when she crosses over.
🙏🕯🙏
Divine intervention in Jesus name Amen 🙏
I think what the bible is saying is that heaven is a world without fear or threats, filled with people of the world united as one to achieve common goals, which is where the world is heading, but that is no thanks to people who deny the truth. The bible is a great book but needs to be updated so that kids can understand and relate to it.
In Emerg again with gut pain. This is a great hymn of consolationm
How can anyone dislike this beautiful and meaningful hymn!!!
I will never forget my Grandfather singing this in church.
I ALSO LOVE THIS GOSPEL HYMN, SO PEACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL VIDEO, TY FOR SHARING, AND IF LOIS HAS GONE HOME?, SHES WITH OUR SAVIOR NOW.
I am going thru a hard time in my life this hymn reminds me that Jesus loves me!
This has become my favorite! The Savior is longing for us to come home and be with Him through eternal ages! Amen! Even so, Lord come quickly.....this is my fervent prayer.....for I've caught a glimpse of glory and I'm longing to be there.
Just wonderful!!! Amen!
Oh God ,my prayers flow from my lips Lord … My Gloria called Jesus and he swept her up and welcomed her home a year and a half ago ,Oh God I was so undeserving of the Angle you loaned to me, but I am forever grateful Lord for Your love and mercies ! What a beautiful song to feel the presence of Jesus during our storms...
We sang this beautiful in the 50's at church
I too am not always well.I was raised in the Church and go when I am able. This is SO Beautiful! I plan to pass this along to other beleavers and ministers in the faith. THank you!!!!
This is the very song sung during the end of evangelistic sermon that invited me to come to Christ Jesus my Savior and Lord. I cannot remember the sermon or part of it, but this song and tune stayed on in my mind. Thank you my Lord and my God.
A Beautiful song one of my old time Favourites Thanks for sharing this video with us.I sometimes long to be going home to my Heavenly Father,and yet I know he still has plans for me here yet.Let your will be done in me O Lord my God.A very smoothing song .
With songs like this, it's easy to see why God created music. It speaks to us in a way that almost no one can and captures our minds and hearts.
Soooo touching, your present, "SE Samonte". Maybe the lady mentioned is healed, maybe she is already passe away, but ALWAYS the Lord is calling "Come Home"... I would like all the mankind could ever listen to such call... May the NAME be blessed!
What a sweet and soulful hymn!
this was the song that made me bow down in humility and repent of all my sins and accepted Chirst as my savior and Lord.AMDG
That is great Tyron. I am sure this song along with His Holy Spirit convicting is responsible for hundreds of thousands of souls if not millions coming to Him. Thanks for the great song and message. :-)
I was in the church starting at age four. In my twenties I went astray. One day I fell to my knees, I was tired of being sick and tired. I was still in the church with a hangover on Sundays. One night, I said, "Lord, take this from me." I prayed from Feb 8th to Feb 18 many years ago. I had an epiphany and began to take the Lord seriously again, even more so. I'm now a Missionary and sang in the choir before I became sick. It was a miracle.
Yes, always remember....The salvation of our souls ought to be in the front of all of our minds. There are things that the Bible tells us that we must do in order to be saved. We must hear God's Word (Romans 10:17), believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (John 3:36), confess His name before men (Romans 10:9-10), repent of whatever sin that is in our lives (Luke 13:3), and be baptized for the remission of our sins (Acts 2:38)....
The Plan of Salvation: Just a reminder....
Everyone should be able to understand the plan of salvation and explain it to others to help everyone understand the reasons behind the five step plan of salvation.
1. Read: Acts 16:30
2. About the Text:
1) Supposing that his prisoners had escaped, the jailer was about to kill himself.
2) Paul stops him.
3) Having had such a close brush with death, the jailer knew that he needed salvation.
4) So he asks this question.
3. Regarding our situation.
1) What about us?
2) Are we asking this question of ourselves?
3) Are we asking this question of others?
4) Do we KNOW how to answer this question today should someone put it to us?
5) Let's study how to answer this question this morning.
DISCUSSION: What must I do to be saved?
1. Hear
1). This is the starting point because one cannot believe without hearing. Romans 10:17
2. We must hear someone.
1) In contrast to Moses and the Prophets, we must hear Jesus.
2) Deut.18:18, 19
3) Acts 3:22, 23; Acts 7:37
4) Hebrews 1:1-3
5) Matthew 17:1-5
6) John 14:6
3. We must hear something.
1) Jesus said, "Take heed what ye hear." Mark 4:24
2) The object of our hearing is not just any message, but the gospel message!
3) Mark 16:15, 16 -- preach the gospel.
4) Hear the word of the gospel, Acts 15:7
5) Hear the word, Acts 4:4; 10:44; 13:7; 13:44.
6) Hear Christ preached, Acts 2:22; Acts 8:5, 6
7) Hear things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, Acts 8:12
8) Hear all things commanded of God; Acts 10:33
9) Hear the salvation of God; Acts 28:28
4. We must hear in a specific way--with a view toward obedience.
1) Jesus said, "Take heed therefore, how ye hear." Luke 8:18
2) Matthew 7:24-27
3) Luke 8:21
4) Luke 11:28
5) James 1:22-25
BELIEVE
1. Comes after hearing because of Romans 10:17
2. New Testament faith involves knowledge.
1) Luke 1:1-4 -- belief and certainty.
2) John 20:30, 31 -- Evidence given so we can believe.
3) 2 Corinthians 4:6 -- God gives knowledge to us.
4) Ephesians 3:4 -- we can have the knowledge that Paul had when we read
5) Ephesians 4:13 -- unity of the faith is based upon knowledge
6) Phil.3:8 -- sacrifice all to gain the knowledge of Jesus Christ
7) Col.1:10 -- increase in knowledge
8) 1 Timothy 2:4 to be saved we must come to a knowledge of the truth.
9) 2 Peter 1:5, 6 -- we are to add knowledge to our faith and virtue
3. New Testament faith involves trust.
1) Romans 4:17-21 -- Abraham's faith involved a great amount of trust.
2) Acts 1:6-9
3) Acts 10 and Peter's vision.
4) Acts 16:6-10 -- Paul and company trusted in God and went where God told them to go.
5) Hebrews 11:7ff -- these were all situations in which they put their trust in God.
4. New Testament faith involves action.
1) John 6:29 -- God's work is the work of faith.
2) Acts 2:41 -- when they believed (received their word) they acted.
3) Acts 8:12 -- when they believed, they acted.
4) Acts 8:39 -- when he believed he acted.
5) Acts 16:14 -- when she believed she acted.
6) Hebrews 4:1-6 -- Disobedience is the same as not having faith.
7) Hebrews 11:7ff -- Those who believed, acted upon that faith.
8) James 2 -- Faith without works is dead.
Repent
1. Comes after faith because one cannot know of what to repent without believing one is in sin.
2. Not just being sorry.
1) 1 Corinthians 7:8-11
a. Not a sorrow of the world which works death.
b. But having a godly sorrow.
c. A sorrow that works righteousness and purity.
2) Notice the sorrow of Judas. Matthew 27:3-5
3) Contrast with the sorrow of Peter. Matthew 26:75
4) Look at the repentance of Paul. Acts 9:9
3. A change of mind that results in the reformation of life.
1) The word repentance literally means a change of mind.
2) Sinners are called to repentance--to change their minds and ways.
a. Matthew 2:17

Page number 230 in your Baptist Hymnal......I've sung this so many Sundays...thanks Dad
This was posted 5+ years ago. I wonder how Lois fared.
Incidentally, this hymn sung by Cynthia Clawsonis featured in one of my all-time favorite movies, 'The Trip To Bountiful' (1985) at both the beginning and the end of the story. A beautiful movie -- one of the best ever -- and beautiful, beautiful hymn.
Always been a favourite. Loved hearing this version
I'm thinking how blessed I'm to be apart of this to spread the word of God / gospel throughout the entire world. Without me asking anyone to assign me to anything. Who could it be but God himself??.
How beautiful this hymn is, a message for us all. Thank you
Amen. How unfortunate so many hymns of safety and and assurance have been reduced to funereal songs. This is one. Beautiful and encouraging.
Love the old hymns.
