Have Heard Him

"And many more believed because of His own word, and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world" (John 4:41,42).

Yes, there are books we can read on our shelves,
And others may tell us about Jesus Christ,
Yet not until we have thus heard Him ourselves,
Shall we find His grace for our souls has sufficed.

Yes, there are those who can share their account
That testifies brightly of how they were saved,
Yet not until we also drink from that Fount,
Will we taste the water of life we have craved.

Praise to the Lord who has thus met our need,
For each one who knows Him can surely rejoice
To know Christ as personal Savior indeed;
We have heard Him ourselves, and delight in His voice!
