DO
YOU REMEMBER ?
This
is a conversation between two friends.
................................................
' Do you
remember when you told me that you
met
God's Only
Son ? '
' Yes, I
remember 'twas the day I said I
made Christ
number one
'
' Well....remember
when you said that you were gonna
spread the
News ? '
' Yes....I
know....but I can't help it...see...some
days I have
the blues..'
' Some days
I'm just too busy now to care
about the Lost '
' To try
to spread the Gospel, tell that Jesus
Paid the Cost.....'
' Well, remember
when you told me you got Saved
one
Wednesday
night ? '
' You smiled
from ear to ear because you said
you
' saw the
light ' '
' Yes I
remember it so well, you were the
first one that I
told '
' You said
"Oh that's really nice" tho'
I could see your
heart was
cold '
' It's true...
one day you said that in your
heart there was
a ' Lift '
'
' But never
once you told me of Salvation's Plan,
God's Gift '
' Remember
at the party after you received your
' Lift ' ? '
' I never
saw a difference and I never saw
your Gift........'
'You danced
to wicked music and you told some
dirty
jokes '
' And then
you got some whiskey that you added
to
your cokes
'
' When all
the while I watched because I wanted
to
know more
'
' Yes more
about your Saviour, yes the One that
you
"adored" '
' Then one
day came a Preacher at Revival came
to Preach '
' I was
curious to listen - hear what Preacher had
to 'teach'..'
' Someone left
a Flyer on my door one afternoon '
' To tell
of a Revival that was coming very
soon......'
' So Sunday
night I went.....I sat alone upon a
pew '
' To hear
about your Saviour, yes the One you
said
you knew......'
'But friend
I have to tell you, when he preached
God's Holy
Word '
' It wasn't
anything like all the things from you
I heard.........'
' I'd like
for you to know that I have found
Salvation's Gift,
My sins
were all forgiven, and my heart has
found that
' Lift
'
' No
longer does my heart desire the sinful,
wicked way '
' You
see there's been a change in me,
a change from
'night to
day' '
' Remember
when I asked you if you really
knew God's
Son ?'
' You said
" Don't be judgmental, it's okay to
have some
fun !"
' Well friend
I'd like to tell you all about
what I have found '
' You see,
I found my Saviour and my soul
is Heaven bound '
' Now don't
go getting serious... it's a 'private
thing',
you know '
' It's not
to be discussed....and now I'm busy...gotta
go...'
' Dear friend
if you've a minute, it's not about
who's
right or
wrong'
' I brought
along my Bible....it won't take too
very long.....'
' Okay, well
try to hurry, for I've lots of
things to do '
' I know
about the Bible, I'm the one that
first told you ! '
' Dear friend,
I really care or I would not
be here today '
' I care
enough to show you what my Bible
has to say '
. ... ....... .......
...... ........ ....... .......... ....
' Yes it's
okay to cry because myself, I
did the same '
' The night
that I got Saved when I was calling
out
His Name.....'
' No, you
don't have to thank me, for I
care about
your soul
'
' For ever
since Christ Saved me, now to spread
the News,
my goal '
' Sometimes
the Truth is heard, but has not
yet to reach
the heart....'
' I wanted
you to know that Jesus loved us
from the start '
' I
wanted you to know the happiness that
I have known '
' E'er since
my Jesus washed me white as snow,
yes
I have
grown '
' No longer
does my heart desire to do those
wicked deeds '
' I came
to full Repentance.....now I want to
plant those
seeds '
' Oh friend....I
was so foolish, in my heart He
wasn't
known '
' Pretending
to know Jesus, but was Lost and
all alone '
' But in
my heart now happiness, Oh thank you
Precious
Lord ! '
' Yes all
the while He told us it's not
on our own accord '
' Ye shall
know them by their fruits ' is
oh so true and
sometimes
sad '
' I'm glad
you brought your Bible, oh inside my
heart
I'm glad !
'
' I want
to shout for Joy and tell my
friends what I
have
found..'
' My Saviour
washed my sins away and now I'm
Heaven bound
! '
' We none
of us are promised a tomorrow, yes
it's true ;
I'm
thankful for a friend that cared enough..........
a friend
like you. '
