Testimony of saving faith for Christians only
I asked God to get me out of a problem i had, with a promise that i would serve Him if He helped me. He did His part but i went right back to my old ways, ten years past, and one day my wife asked me to go to church, i made every excuse i could think of, yet soon gave in. that day when the pastor gave an alter call i felt something lift me out of my chair after raising my hand. from that moment i have never been the same person, Jesus has been my whole life and will always be.

No Him...No Hymn

If you do not know the Lord my friend
Then you have no song to sing
For the soul can never experience true rejoicing 
Until it has been forgiven for sin
Sin a commodity at our own peril
It will bring us to our death
But praise God for our Resurrected Saviour
Who's rising again gives eternal breath

Praise God for the old rugged Cross
Its memory is indelibly etched
On the heart of this saved sinner
Who received Heaven from arms outstretched 
Where love poured out from Calvary
Is freely flowing still
From the Man of sorrows acquainted with grief
Who loveth us.. loveth us still!

Now I can sing because I am saved
I know I have been redeemed
Upon the day of my repentance
Christ put a new song within me
Now that I know Him!..O Hallelujah!
All praises be unto that Lamb
Because I really know Him...really know Him!
His hymns are my favourites!.. Amen!!!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!
