36. MY NAME’S WRITTEN THERE

1. I am bought not with riches,

   Neither silver nor gold;

   But Christ hath redeemed me,

   I am safe in His fold;

   In the Book of His Kingdom,

   With its pages so fair,

   Through Jesus my Saviour,

   My name’s written there.

2. My sins, they were many,

   Like the sands of the sea,

   But the blood of my Saviour

   Is sufficient for me;

   For His promise is written,

   In bright letters that glow,

   “Tho’ your sins be as scarlet,

   I will make them like snow”.

3. Oh! That beautiful city,

   With its mansions of light,

   With its glorified beings,

   In pure garments of white;

   Where no evil thing cometh

   To despoil what is fair;

   Where the angels are watching,

   My name’s written there.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
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)
