I’VE NEVER PASSED THIS WAY BEFORE

I’VE NEVER PASSED THIS WAY BEFORE
By Pastor George Mills
                       “For ye have not passed this way heretofore”(Joshua 3:4)

                                           I’ve never passed this way before,
                                               Nor do I know what lies in store,
                                           But this I know, that Christ passed o’er,
                                               And He will lead to yonder shore.

                                           I’ll never pass this way again,
                                                Lord help me make my footprints plain,
                                           So those who follow me will gain,

                                                And find my steps were not in vain.

I shall pass this way one time,
A second chance will not be mine,
So as I pass this way, refine,
My life, dear Lord, to be like Thine.

Soon I will pass to that dear shore,
To meet with loved ones gone before,
Our Lord will open wide the door,
For I’ve never passed that way before.

THE SAVIOUR’S TOUCH

THE SAVIOUR’S TOUCH
By Pastor George Mills

“And Jesus moved with compassion, put forth
His hand and touched him and said unto
 him I will, be thou clean.” (Mk 1:42)

                                          He touched me when, I was lost in sin,
                                              He touched and made me whole within.
                                          His touch of cleansing, I needed so,
                                              He touched and made me white as snow.

          In need of assurance when doubtful I be,
His gentle touch, to reassure me.
He gave me sight as He touched my eyes,
The sight He gave made me realize;

That corrective touch, daily I need,
I find in His tender message I read.
That quieting touch, so gentle, so kind,
In the upsets of life, so often I find.

In this world of darkness and deep despair,
His gentle touch, I find in Prayer.
My care I lay there at His feet,
At His Throne of Grace, there my Saviour I meet.

BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR

BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR
By Pastor George Mills

“That I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life, to
behold the BEAUTY OF THE
          LORD.” (Psa. 27:4).

Beautiful Saviour, Thee I adore,
Thou hast redeemed me, Thine evermore.
Love freely given, Grace to impart,
Came down from Heaven, to live in my heart.

Beautiful Saviour, wonderful Friend,
My song shall praise Thee, years without end.
Love so amazing, Love so divine,
Beautiful Saviour, what Love is Thine!

Beautiful Saviour, when I shall see,
Thy Face in Heaven, what joy that will be.
Ever to live there, with Thee to abide,
Ever to dwell close to Thy wounded side.

Beautiful Saviour, Thy nail pierced hands,
Will ever be praised, in Heaven’s bright land.
The veil will be lifted, Thy Face we will see,
Beautiful Saviour, Heaven with Thee.
