In troubled times like we are facing now; when assurance and peace are so badly needed, I turn to some of my favorite Gospel videos on You Tube. I just listened three times to Karen Peck & New River sing Special Love and I want to share those inspiring lyrics with you.
“I really hate to bother you but Lord; I’ve got a whole lot on my mind. I know that you’re real busy but I promise I won’t take much of your time. Lord, I need a little grace to help me make it through. I need to feel that kind of love that only comes from you. As a child I heard the preacher say that you are a sinner’s friend. I remember when I came to you with a heart so black with sin. That night you turned my life around. It seemed you made me over new; and the mercy that you gave me, Lord, keeps me coming back to you. If you’ll just squeeze my hand; let me feel you by my side. You said you’d never, never leave me; you’d always be my guide. But the storms of life sometimes won’t let the sunshine through. Lord, I need to feel that kind of love that only comes from you. Yes, I need to feel that kind of love that only comes from you.”
Those of us who experience that special love and relationship with God through Jesus Christ have the glorious privilege and responsibility to share it with others who desperately need it.
I’m posting this a day early because I want to let everyone know that the drive-in service last Sunday was so well received, they are holding another one tomorrow, Sunday March 29th at 10:00 am in the Ewing Baptist Church parking lot in Ewing, Missouri. But this time it will also be streamed live on The Lesters Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/TheLesters1925/ so we can enjoy that unique “Church on Wheels” service online. I plan to join them at ten and then watch the live stream from my church at noon. I’m expecting a spiritual lift from both services. God is good all of the time, even in this season of social distancing.
