<TITLE>19. Par 177-183</TITLE>L-177 When I come to the river at the ending of day,
And the last winds of sorrow have blown;
There'll be somebody waiting that'll show me the way,
I won't have to cross Jordan alone.
I won't have to cross Jordan alone,
Jesus died all my sins to atone;
When the darkness I see,
He'll be waiting for me,
I won't have to cross Jordan alone.
I want to know Him now. Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me on, let me stand. Let me stand here, Lord, against everything that's called wrong, everything that looks wrong. I don't care what anyone says, let me stand, Lord. When I've done all I can do, help me stand. Take my hand and pull me through it, Lord. Do something; let me stand. When them things come, and the treasures of this world, and all of its pomp and its glory, blind my eyes to it, let me only see Him Who died for me. If it costs every friend I got, if it costs everything I got, that don't mean one thing, I surrender it all on the altar. That's it. Let me stand loyal. And someday when the breath's a-blowing against my face, and I know that my heart's gone and my days are finished, and my time's up, and my card taken from the rack, I want to not cross Jordan alone. He'll be there. Yeah. When the darkness I see, He'll be waiting there for me, I won't have to cross Jordan alone. If I'll stand for Him now, He'll stand for me then. I'll live for Him Who died for me; how happy then my life will be. That's the way I want to stand.

L-178 I guess there's sick people here. Did he give out any cards? I forgot. Did they give out cards? Is any cards give out? Anybody got prayer cards? No.
All right, I'm just waiting for the Holy Spirit. If you just only believe, just have faith, don't doubt. If God will reveal to me your troubles... Whatever it is, I don't know; if you raise your hand, you don't know me and I don't know you. Then if God will reveal here, would you believe it was the same Angel that brought the message just before the destruction back there, it would be the same Angel that was bringing it right now before another destruction. Would you believe that? If you would, raise up your hand. All right. All right, may the Lord grant it.

L-180 He's setting close to me. There's another one setting close to me is Mrs. Snyder here, or this Mrs. Murphy here, what her name is, setting right here. I know them.
I don't know this man; he's a stranger to me. But God knows him. If God will reveal it now, how many know that it's...
Now, you, don't look at me. My, I'm a Kentucky hillbilly, as far as that concerned. I--I don't even have enough education hardly to--to write my own name. But there's one thing I do know, I know Him. And that--that's--that's all I care to know. Now, don't--don't pay any attention to what my grammar.

L-183 And you might think that my Sermon this morning was all out of line and everything; you line it up with the Bible one time and see if you ain't right on the zero target. See if your scope ain't in when you--when you put it on there. Don't line it with your own thoughts, but line it with what He said. "Strait is the gate, narrow is the way, and few there'll be that'll find it; 'cause broad is the way that leads to destructions, and wide is the gate, and many will go in thereat," millions times millions will go in there. One out of a million will probably be the way it comes. There you are. That's what He said. Now, He never give that number, but He said, "As it was in the days of Noah, eight souls. As it was in the days of Sodom, three." Out of the whole thing, three was saved by fire. So will it be.
