Power Point

"What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?.... Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord" (Psalm 114:5,7). "They asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them.... Be it known unto you all, and all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ... doth this man stand before you whole.... Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:7-12).

Why did Egypt let them go
Who once had been their slaves?
The power came, we surely know,
From Israel's God who saves!

Why then was the Red Sea parted,
And Jordan driven back?
God would finish what He started;
His power wasn't slack.

And by what power, may we ask,
Did Peter heal the lame?
He had no power for that task,
But in Christ Jesus' name!

And we as well in this late hour
Will point to Jesus Christ:
There is no other saving power
That ever has sufficed!

He is the Head, the Corner Stone,
Which builders had refused.
Salvation comes from Him alone;
Let no one be confused!

O Lord, we thank You that today
The Gospel still is full
Of power that will point the way
To Christ who saves the soul!
