[Faith-talk] Reflections for 3-26-2011

[Joshua Lester]

"The Watter Way"
Copyright, 1952, Bishop S.C. Johnson
Vs: 1. Long ago, the maids drew water
in the evening time they say.
One day Isaac sent his servant
to stop Rebecca, onher way.
"My master sent me here to tell thee
see these jewels rich, and fair?"
"Wouldst thou his lovely bride be
in that country, over there?"
Vs: 2. So God's servants come to tell you
of a bridegroom, in the sky
looking for a holy people
to be his bride soon, by and by.
He sends to us, refreshing waters
in this wonderous latter day
and those who really will be raptured
must go through the water way.
Vs: 3. Are you on your way to ruin
cumbered with a load of care?
See the quick work God is doing
that so his glory you will share?
At last the faithwhich was once delivered
to the saints is our's today.
To get in the Church Triumphant
you must go the water way.
Vs: 4. Have you looked and often wondered
why the power is slack today?
Will you stay in that back number
and go on in the man-made way?
Oh saints, that have never been baptized
in the blessed name of God
let the truth now sanctify you
tis the way the apostles trod.
Chorus: There shall be light in the evening time.
The path to Glory, you will surely find
through the water way.
It is the light today
baptized in Jesus name.
Young and old, repent of all your sin
and the Holy Ghost shall enter in.
Evening time has come
tis a fact that God, and Christ, are one.
This song was written by Bishop S.C. Johnson, (the founder of the
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith.)
I hope you enjoy these song lyrics, that I keep posting. You can find
the song on Youtube. Just type in "Hymn: The Water Way."
Blessings, Joshua
