209. I WILL NOT FORGET THEE
1. Sweet is the promise “I will not forget thee,”
Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;
E’en though the night be dark within the valley,
Just beyond is shining an eternal day.
Chorus:
I ..will not forget thee or leave thee;
In My hands I’ll hold thee, in My arms I’ll fold thee;
I.. will not forget thee or leave thee-
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.
2. How can I show my gratitude to Jesus,
For His love unfailing and His tender care?
I will proclaim to others His salvation,
That they may accept Him and His promise share.
3. Trusting the promise “I will not forget thee,”
Onward will I go with songs of joy and praise;
Tho’ earth despise me, tho’ my friends forsake me,
Jesus will be near m e gladdening my days.
4. When at the golden portals I am standing,
All my tribulation, all my sorrows past,
How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation:
“Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last!”
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
