"I love the LORD, because He hath heard my voice… The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me… Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech Thee, deliver my soul… I was brought low, and He helped me" (Psalm 116:1-6). "Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?" (Proverbs 15:8). "Who then can be saved? Jesus… said unto them… With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19:25,26).
I do remember very
well
That dreadful
season of my sorrow
When I had
pondered death and hell
Which might
descend before tomorrow.
I could not
shake the awful sense
That death
approached, to my despair,
Amid the great
indifference
Of multitudes
who did not care!
In retrospect, I
see the love
That graciously had
brought me low
To pray for
mercy from above
That Christ delighted
to bestow.
O Lord, You
prompted me to pray
For that which
seemed impossible!
It was Your love
that found a way
To save by grace
my trembling soul!
