"And He is full of grace.
Ah! had He not been, I should never have
been saved.
He drew me when I struggled to escape from His grace;
and
when at last I came all trembling like a condemned culprit to His
mercy-seat,
He said, ‘Thy sins which are many are all forgiven thee: be
of good cheer.'
And He is full of truth.
True have His promises been, not one has failed.
And He is full of truth.
True have His promises been, not one has failed.
I bear witness that never servant had such a master as I have;
never brother such a kinsman as He has been to me;
never spouse such
a Husband as Christ has been to my soul;
never sinner a better Saviour;
never mourner a better comforter
than Christ hath been to my spirit.
I want none beside Him.
I want none beside Him.
In life He is my life,
and in death He shall be the death of death;
in poverty Christ is my riches;
in sickness He makes my bed;
in darkness
He is my star,
and in brightness He is my sun;
He is the manna of the
camp in the wilderness,
and He shall be the new corn of the host when
they come to Canaan.
Jesus is to me all grace and no wrath, all truth and no falsehood:
and of truth and grace He is full, infinitely full.
My soul, this night,
bless with all thy might ‘the only Begotten.’”
-charles spurgeon
we shall see this quote posted again.
(a purpose of this blog for me is to preach to myself.
"i want none beside Him"; let it be so.)
