Jesus Saves

Psalms 96:2-3 (NKJV)   Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. 
 

Jesus saves! Oh, how we are encouraged as we're reminded that Jesus saves!  He saved us and He can save those that you love; those that you've been sharing His love with. Don't lose heart.
 
Priscilla J. Owens, a Baltimore public school teacher for 49 years, wrote a beautiful hymn in the late 1800s.  These stirring, soul-winning words were written for a missionary service in the Sunday school of the Union Square Methodist Church. Fourteen years later, William Kirkpatrick wedded his vibrant music to her words. Through the years they have challenged God's people with the urgency of soul winning.

We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Spread the tidings all around: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Bear the news to every land; climb the steeps and cross the waves; onward!  'tis our Lord's command; Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Waft it on the rolling tide; Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Tell to sinners far and wide: Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Sing, ye islands of the sea; echo back, ye ocean caves; earth shall keep her jubilee: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Sing above the battle strife, Jesus saves! Jesus saves! By His death and endless life, Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Sing it softly through the gloom, when the heart for mercy craves; sing in triumph o'er the tomb;  Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Give the winds a mighty voice, Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Let the nations now rejoice,  Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Shout salvation full and free; highest hills and deepest caves; this our song of victory,  Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

I thank God that Jesus saves!
