<TITLE>36. Par 125-127</TITLE>L-125  She said, "But they'll never come take this." Said, "It's yours. Now set down and rest awhile." One of these days, friends, I don't know if day and night, I tried all that I can do to live and do what's right before God. One of these days I'm going home to rest. That's right. One of these times you'll see it the paper, I want you to stop and sing, "Only Believe." They're going to play that when they put me in the grave, they're going to...?... or go before Jesus comes, they'll put me in the grave and when I do, I'm going to go on to where there's chairs set down in to rest a little while. Come over, I wish I'd meet every one of you over there. I believe there's a land beyond this here, beyond the vale of tears and sorrows and heartaches. I have preached day and night; I've stayed till eyes shut crying; I've stand at the platform until they had to pack me out. Why? Because I've tried to make up for the time that I lost back there.
Brother, sister, you look down there and say, "Oh, this is easy, these here things. You don't know what's behind the life. That's right. This old heart's been broke and tore to pieces until God gets out, but someday it'll be over. There forever home. Won't you meet me over there? Would you like meet me? I'd like to make an appointment with you.

L-126  Just as sure as I stand on the platform I believe there's a heaven to go to. I believe there's a land of rest where we live at. I don't care if I had to eat soda crackers and drink branch water, I wouldn't compromise on this Gospel. It's the truth of God. I don't care if I'm called "Holy roller" or whatever you want to call me. That's all right. I know it's the truth. I've stood by them when they were dying and hear them say,
 Happy day! Happy day,
 Since Jesus washed my sins away.
 He taught me how to watch and pray
 And live rejoicing every day.
It ain't what you do here; it's the way you go out of this life. And I know without the Holy Spirit, you're lost. Won't you receive Him this afternoon?

L-127  Let's bow our heads. Our times has gone on. Heavenly Father, O God... O God, when my mind goes back to all those old tracks down along the time... I was laying there in the hospital there, I...?... When she looked around and... Oh, it was so perfect. And I thought, "O God, I know she's at rest now. My little baby, little Sherry's over there. O God, there's brother... Oh, soon I shall go, Lord. Help me. Help me to be true; help me to be faithful. I'm sorry that I did what I did in the beginning, Lord, how I shunned to preach the Gospel; how I failed, and maybe men will be lost because of it, but, O God, help me now to make up for it.
Here we are here in this city. I'm passing by, doing all that I can, Lord, to exalt Thy Son, Christ Jesus, Who died, and when He did, He saved. Maybe here this day, Father, there's those who are lost, don't know where they're standing. I don't know where in sin and darkness, lost, wandering in darkness, someday shall wind up in a Christless grave, in a devil's eternity to spend. Oh, help, dear Father.
