Commitment To Christ

orchidee



Tune: Old Hundreth

('All people that on earth do dwell')

*********

Here be our determination

As gospel preached to each nation

To know, focus on nought beside

But Jesus Christ, Him crucified

 

And too His resurrection sure

He now lives, and shall die no more

The last Adam, the second man

Who saves as only He true can

 

For He does come to meet our need

The bread of heaven, on Him we feed

Water of life He does supply

Gifts that He will to none deny

 

Salvation in none else is found

So praises now to Christ redound

We are His people, we His sheep

All in His fold He does us keep

    Don't sign it too slow there, or you may come to a grinding halt, or even doze off, with the slow-ish tune!
