Amen The Old Hymns Poem by Gary James Smith

AMEN THE OLD HYMNS

Amen the old hymns of the faith
Are still as fresh to me
As, when I first heard them sung years ago
When the love of God was drawing me
And the Spirit brought it home to my heart
In such a glorious fashion
I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Yes you can call me just old fashioned

Just old fashioned Hallelujah I came
I came with my full baggage of sin
And found... praise God the removal thereof
When I first placed my trust in Him
I came to the fountain of blessing
And drank there a full supply
Now I'm singing most heartily
And shall still in the sweet by and by

We can stay singing all night long
Would be such a delight for me
As visions of rapture fill my mind
Since my introduction to Calvary
So sing them over again to me
Such a refreshment to my soul
Singing about the blood of the Lamb
That can make a sinner whole....

Hallelujah I love those old hymns
They still are a blessing to me
I treasure them as my acquaintances
We both have a history
That day at the Cross when I first saw the light
And darkness just had to flee
O... praise God for the glory of it
The glory of Calvary...

Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
