'Memorable Melodies' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Just as I am -you accepted me oh Lord and came into my heart
Amazing Grace-covered my sins and gave me renewed hope
How Great Thou Art-I cried out loudly for you freed my soul
There is a river-reminds me you are deep within my heart
Although at times I cannot feel you or fail to notice your presence
Because he lives-reminds me that is why I am still here upon this earth
Oh when the saints go marching in -reminds me that some day I will march to
Heaven's sweet music and be with my Lord when life here is o'er
Somebody prayed for me -got me through all the down times when
I drifted from your side oh Lord
Standing on the promises-reminds me that you are eternally faithful
To your children and will remain unchanged
The lighthouse-reminds me that your door is always open and the light of
Your heart is on for your dear children so they will see how to come back home
Peace in the valley-reminds me that some sweet day sin will loose its' sting
And guilt will forever cease, tears shall be no more
Thank you Lord for the sweet melodies of old that touch hearts still
In today’s' fast paced world; thank you for a burden for lost souls
Thank you oh Lord for guilt that brings repentance
Thank you for the fresh eternal flow of mercy that
Cleanses us and makes us pure in your sight
Thank you for the knowledge that the very first dropp
Of blood that came from your tortured body was for
Every sin man would ever commit
Now Lord use us for thy divine purposes-amen
