Redwood, I love this old song! Thanks for reminding me. It got me started tracking down all the rest of the lyrics, and I found them--on the Internet! But to save Stan's [computer memory] space on this board I won't copy them here. Can't recall the name of the man who used to sing this song the most.... (just getting too old, I guess!)

I could be wrong. But the man that I had in mind was George Beverly Shea. Can anyone confirm that thought?

I once was lost in sin ... but Jesus took me in.

And then a little light from heaven filled my soul.

It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above.

And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole ......

Have a little talk with Jesus ... tell Him all about our troubles.

Hear our faintest cry .... answer by and by.

Feel a little pray'r wheel turning ..know a little fire is burnin

Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.



OK. End of song. But I SEE you ... I just don't know about those gyrating hips of yours.

So send I you ... to labor UNrewarded , To serve UNpaid, unloved unsought Unknown.

To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing ...

So send I you .... To TOIL for ME .... Alone.

"I would be true ... for there are those who trust me.

I would be pure, for there are those who care.

I would be strong, for there is much to suffer.

I would be brave for there is much to dare.

I would be brave for there is much to dare."

"Starlings are oversized flies." Olger

Tempted and Tried, we're oft made to wonder.

Why it should be thus all the day long,

While there are others living about us

Never molested though in the wrong.

Farther along we'll know more about it,

Farther along we'll understand why;

Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine,

We'll understand it .... all by and by.

Hey, that's one of my favorites! "Farther Along!"

Hi Denise. Thanks for joining WOD.

This song just hit me this week. I've sung it many times but never really understood the words below ...



It seems that those who love Jesus and follow his truth ... THEY are the most "molested". And it seems unfair at times while we suffer. But we are called to do this.

We are also called to live in the sunshine while we are being "molested". That is what I am trying to do.

Thanks again and come back soon.

Here's another favorite of mine:

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Though often tempted, tormented, and tested
And like the prophet my pillow's a stone
And though I find here no permanent dwelling
I know He'll give me a mansion my own

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
