DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE

One day I lay on a grassy knoll by the riverside.

My thoughts went back to that day when the Son of God died!

As I lay there listening to the sparrows and the mockingbirds sing!

I thought about the Great Creator, Jesus, the MIGHTY KING of kings!

I saw an Eagle fly over, soaring way up High!

And I thought about that "Old Rugged Cross" where my Savior died!

I thought about that precious blood that ran down from His innocent hands and feet!

I thought about the mercy Jesus "showed" that day to a repenting thief!

The thief cried out, "LORD REMEMBER ME"!

And Jesus replied, Today, thou shalt be in "PARADISE" with me!

As I lay on that beautiful grassy knoll.

I thanked Jesus Christ for saving my soul!

I thanked Him for dying on The Cross to save a wretch like me from Sin!

I thanked Him that I am now, "BORN AGAIN"!

I love to take those journeys within my mind...

I love to let my thoughts take me back yonder in "TIME"!

Back to those days when my precious Lord and Savior died!

Back to those days of "THE CRUCIFIED"!

I love to think about the Mighty Great I Am!

And how I have been cleansed of all my sins by the precious blood of "THE LAMB"!

Down by the riverside...
