Lord crucified, give me a heart like Thine!
Teach me to love the dying souls of men-
And keep my heart in closest touch with Thee;
And give me love- pure Calvarys love
To bring the lost to Thee.
-James A. Stewart

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have decided to follow Jesus,
Tho no one joins me, still I will follow,
The world behind me, the Cross before me,
No turning back, no turning back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Come ill, come well, the cross, the crown,
The rainbow and the thunder;
I fling my soul and body down
For God to plow them under.

Only like souls I see the folks there under,
Bound who should conquer, slave who
should be kings,
Sharing their one hope with an empty wonder,
Sadly contented with a show of things.

Then with a rush the intolerable craving
Shivers throughout me like a trumpet call-
Oh, to save these! To perish for their saving,
Die for their life, be offered for them all.
F.W.H. Myers

If I go among them rich, they will be continually
begging and perhaps regard me more as a source of
gifts than anything else. If I go with nothing but
the Gospel, there will be nothing to distract their
attention from the unspeakable gift.
Gilmour of Mongolia

The only real life is to live in the light of eternity-
to use all we possess for the promotion of Gods glory
and with an eye to the everlasting mansions, This and
only this is life in earnest.
C.H. Mackintosh

Oh that God would give me a thing which I long
for! That before i go hence and am no more seen,
I may see a people wholly devoted to God, crucified to
the world, and the world crucified to them. A people
truly given up to God in body, soul and substance!
How cheerfully would I then say, Now lettest thou
thy servant depart in peace.
John Wesley


Begin the day with God.
Kneel down to Him in prayer.
Lift up your heart to His abode,
And seek a solace there.


Let us labour for the Master
From the dawn till setting sun.
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care.
Let us gird our loins and serve Him,
And yet wait for him to come.
When He calls His blood-bought yonder,
Well be there


Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love overshadowed,
Safety my soul shall rest.


My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour Divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day,
Be wholly Thine!

Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the billows ore me roll,
While the tempest still is high;
hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life be past;
safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last.


Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me;
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.

Thanks for being such a friend-
and for things you have done and do
but just remember this one thing:
Jesus does love you.
G. harnish

The only friend in the world, the only
friend I have.
Is Jesus Christ, The Son of God
Who bled and died for me.
There is times I feel so alone,
and no one else who cares.
My eyes may water with lonliness
but I come to my Saviour with prayer.
I open up His precious word and He
sweetly speaks to me
My tears all dry, I completely relax
for my father has spoken to me.
I am glad I know that where ever I go my
friend will be there with me.
For I am sure that He loves me and will never leave me for
He died for me.
G. Harnish

--------------------------------------
Through this world of sin and dread
I hate to take another step.
But I realize someone has already
made a path.
Now that I have trusted Him as my
guide all I have to do is follow Him
My Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer,
my Saviour my guide.
G. Harnish

----------------------------------------
In peace let me resign my breath
and thy salvation see,
My sins deserve eternal death,
But Jesus died for me
-----------------------------------------

When one has the Word of God as the basis of
his convictions, he may calmly stand against the full tide
of human opinion and prejudice.
C. H. Mackintosh

---------------------------------------
How prone the heart is to mistake the peace of
circumstances for the peace of God. The Lord knows
this and stirs the nest if we are found nestling in
circumstances instead of in Himself.
C.H. Mackintosh

------------------------------------------
The first question that comes to a soul is,
Heaven or Hell? then (after he is saved) the second question
is, Heaven or Earth? (For which will we live?)
John Philips

----------------------------------------
The word of God is the surest thing in the universe. Any
promise of God is as certain of fulfillment as if it had already taken place.
William MacDonald

------------------------------------------
No one can truly relinquish this world below until
he has seen by faith a better and brighter world above
H.A. Ironside
-----------------------------------

Under the law, God, as it were, stood still to see what
man could do; but in the gospel, God is seen acting,
and as for man, he has but to stand still and see the salvation of God.
C.H. Mackintosh

---------------------------------
There is   no reason why any Christian
should be defeated by the cravings of the old sinful
nature. It is not that we are not able to sin,
but that we are able not to sin!
Reginald Wallis

Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, but
taking hold of God's willingness
Echoes of Grace
-------------------------------------------

Prayer occupies us with our needs; Praise with
our blessings. But worship occupies us with the Lord
Himself.
A.P. Gibbs
-----------------------------------
All affection, assumption, and imitation is contemptible
in the extreme. Hence, though we cannot be great, let us
be honest; and though we cannot be brilliant, let us
be genuine.
C.H. mackintosh

Trials in themselves do not mellow, as a rule, they harden
people. If i learn the grace and support of Christ in the
trials, I am a different person and gain much spiritually
J.B. Stoney

The Saviour did not die for me in order that I might
go on living my life as I choose He died for me so that
from now on He might be able to live His life in me.
William MacDonald
