"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in..." Revelations 3:20 ...
The Savior Is Waiting
The Savior is waiting to enter your heart,
why don't you let Him come in?
There's nothing in this world to keep
you apart, What is your answer to Him?
Time after time He has waited before,
And now He is waiting again
To see if you are willing to open the door,
One of my favorite Hymns by Ralph Carmichael.
I remember in my early 20s I was just married and we attended a rural church,
the one I had attended as a child. In those days a lot of, especially country churches
had a yearly Revival service, usually lasting 2 weeks. An Evangelist would be invited
and preach every evening on salvation of the soul. Like I said I had been raised in this
church, attending Sunday School and about everything that went on there.
Always at the end of the service we would sing the old hymn, "Just As I Am". I have
always loved this song and if you needed saved, this was the song to make you feel
guilty enough to get it done! Sometime we would sing the song as many as 5 or 6 times
with the evangelist or song leader stopping after each verse and plead with us for
someone to come to the alter and get saved.
Well I had this tugging at my heart every time we sang it and finally gave in and got my
nerve up to go. I even cried a little, but I was saved, and every time we sing this song
to this day I can sing think hallelujah in my heart.
If you have not experienced the saving power of Jesus, and you have a tugging in your
heart that you need to be saved, talk to a Pastor or good Christian friend, and they will
help you make the commitment!
