Throw Out the Lifeline

 

                                    Throw Out the Lifeline

What if today was the day Jesus comes to take us home? Are you ready? Are your friends and family ready? We must reach out to those who are not ready and throw them a life-line before it’s too late. The time is now to reach out and save a soul. Don’t wait, you may not get another chance. Teach them Jesus’ plan of salvation, help them to know Jesus and build on a relationship with Him. If you are one who needs to know Jesus, I encourage you to read God’s word and reach out to those who have the kind of relationship with Jesus that you need. Praying always for those who are in need of God’s grace.

Lyrics by Edward S. Ufford, arranged by George c. Stebbins.

“Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave, there is a brother whom someone should save;  Somebody’s brother! Oh, who then will dare to throw out the Life-Line, his peril to share?

Throw out the Life-Line with hand quick and strong; Why do you tarry, why linger so long? See! He is sinking; oh, hasten today and throw out the Life-Boat! Away, then, away!

Throw out the Life-Line to danger fraught men, sinking in anguish where you’ve never been; Winds of temptation and billows of woe will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow.

Soon will the season of rescue be over, soon will they drift to eternity’s shore, haste then, my brother, no time for delay, but throw out the Life-Line and save them today.

Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line! Someone is drifting away; Throw out the Life-Line! Thrown out the Life-Line! Someone is sinking today.

Help Somebody Today

 

                                    Help Somebody Today

Somebody just got diagnosed with a horrible disease; somebody just got notice from their spouse that their marriage is over. Somebody feels all alone and lonely. Somebody is overwhelmed with so many things happening at once. Everybody is in need for one thing or another, it is up to us to notice and lend a helping hand. Maybe it is just a smile, or a kind word, or a prayer, or a time spent with them away from their troubles. Whatever it is, God has placed that somebody in front of you for a purpose. Let Him guide you in helping them.

Lyrics by Carrie E. Breck, arranged by Charles H, Gabriel

“Look all around you, find someone in need, Help somebody today! Though it be little, a neighborly deed- Help somebody today!

Many are waiting a kind, loving word, Help somebody today! Thou has a message, O let it be heard, Help somebody today!

Many have burdens too heavy to bear, Help somebody today! Grief is the portion of some everywhere, Help somebody today!

Some are discouraged and weary in heart, Help somebody today! Some one the journey to heaven should start, Help somebody today!

Help somebody today.. Somebody along life’s way; Let sorrow be ended, the friendless befriended, Oh, help somebody today!

A Passion for Souls

 

                                                A Passion for Souls

A passionate person is an individual that embraces God and wants to share the message to any person who needs to know God. They set a godly example that makes others say, “I want to live like that.” They have a zeal for Christ that inspire and motivate those around them to live a positive life. We must all have a passion for souls and want them to be able to go to heaven along with us.

Lyrics by Herbert G. Tovey, arranged by Foss L. Fellers

“Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord, a passion to save the lost; Oh that Thy love were by all adored, and welcomed at any cost.

Though there are dangers untold and stern confronting me in the way, willingly still would I go, nor turn, but trust Thee for grace each day.

How shall this passion for souls be mine? Lord, make Thou the answer clear; Help me to throw out the old lifeline to those who are struggling near.

Jesus, I long, I long to be winning men who are lost, and constantly sinning; O may this hour be one of beginning the story of pardon to tell.

Rescue the Perishing

 

                                    Rescue the Perishing

“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” Galatians 6:1, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane

“Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep over the erring one, lift up the fallen, tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that are broken will vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way patiently win them; tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.”

No Other Plea

 

                                                No Other Plea

When we pray to God, we must believe that He will answer. We must come to Him without doubts. Believe that He is with us and hears our pleas. We must believe that He will take care of us and that His way is better than our way. God has our best interest in mind and will bless us as we believe in Him.

Lyrics by Lidie H. Edmunds, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed; I trust the ever living One, His wounds for me shall plead.

Enough for me that Jesus saves, this ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul I come to Him, He’ll never cast me out.

My heart is leaning on the Word, the written word of God, Salvation by my Savior’s name, Salvation through His blood.

My great physician heals the sick, the lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed, for me His life He gave.

I need no other argument, I need no other plea, It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me.”

Jesus, Savior

 

                                                            Jesus, Savior

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are saying that we surrender all that we have to Him. We don’t get to pick what part of our life we want to hand over to Jesus, He wants all of us, every single part of our life. When we do that, He guides us in making wise decisions, He lifts us up when we are down. He helps us in every aspect of our life. We become more like Christ when we surrender ourselves and our life to Him. We are loved by Him and want to hold us in His arms.

Lyrics by Herman Voss, arranged by Herman Voss

“Jesus, Savior, all I have is Thine, body, soul and will I now resign. Make me, keep me faithful unto Thee, Savior, through eternity.

Jesus, Savior, I would die to sin, come, oh come and live in me again. Mold me, fill me till the world shall see Jesus, Savior, living now in me.

Jesus, Savior, in this quiet hour, may I feel Thy Spirit’s strength and power; Take me, use me as Thou will each day, Savior, this I humbly pray.

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

 

                                    Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

So many questions we have that only God can answer. The answer can only come in the person of Jesus. Yet there are questions that are easily found in the book of God’s Word. There are many stories about Jesus; how He gathered all the children to Him, how He fed 5,000 people with only a few loaves of bread and some fish from a child’s basket. How He healed the sick and raised the dead. So many answers to our questions that can be found in the Bible. I encourage you to sit quietly with your Bible and get to know Jesus and all that He does for you. Build on a relationship that will take you to eternity with Him in heaven.

Lyrics by William H. Parker, arranged by Frederic A. Challenge

“Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; Things I would ask Him to tell me if He were here; Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

First let me hear how the children stood round His knee; And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me; Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, all in the love-light of Jesus’ face.

Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; One of His heralds, Yes, I would sing loudest hosannas! Jesus is King.” Amen
