<TITLE>17. Par 59-63</TITLE>L-59 Aren't you happy about it? I'm so glad that I'm one of them. Now, just shake hands with somebody setting next to you, say, "I'm one of them." Just turn around, shake hands, say, "I'm one of them." Hallelujah.
 Oh, one of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 I'm one of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.

L-60 I'd rather be an old time Christian than anything I know. I'm so glad that the Morning Star is shining over us; I'm so glad I'm walking in the Light as He is in the Light. We have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all unrighteousness. I'm so glad to be one of them; aren't you?
 Looking for the coming of that glad millennium day,
 When our blessed Lord shall come and catch His waiting Bride away;
 Oh! my heart is groaning, crying for that day of sweet release,
 When our Saviour shall come back to earth again.
Oh, I'm so glad that He's coming again. And I shall see Him, I shall see Him. Like some people didn't...

L-61 Years ago there was a writer, Fanny Crosby; she was blind. She didn't sell her birthrights, like many fine singers today in the television and movie world, sold out their birthrights for just a--a few boogie-woogie songs or rock-and-roll. But Mrs. Crosby was a different woman.
They come to her one day, and said, "Why don't you write modern poetry? Why don't you write songs that'd... for the entertainment world?"
She said, "I give all my talents to God." Oh...
Said, "Well, you believe there'll be a heaven then?"
Said, "Yes."
Said, "And you think you'll be there?"
"Yes."
Said, "Now, what... When you get there, if you remain blind," said, "how will you know Him?"
She said, "I'll feel the nail scar in His hands." She turned, went walking back, walking back in the room. And when she did, she raised her hands and begin to praise God. When they walked outdoors, she--song struck her. She said:
 I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
 And redeemed by His side I shall stand;
 I shall know Him, I shall know Him
 By the prints of the nails in His hands.

L-62 And today, brother, sister, she's walking the streets of glory with far better sight than anybody on this earth ever had. She sees Him, knows Him, and standing redeemed by His side. Oh, if I'd ask her tonight, "Fanny Crosby, what does Christ mean to you?"
She'd sing this song for me, she'd... Something like this... Let's see, one of her famous old songs I was thinking of awhile ago. She said, "Nothing in this world I have, all is in Him..." What was that song now, that I was thinking a few minutes ago, that she sang? That was such a beautiful song, I was sing... However, I remember singing it (I'll think of it in a few minutes.) that she said that, "He means more then this world to me. Whom have I on earth beside Thee; whom in heaven but Thee."
 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
 Hear my humble cry;
 While on others Thou art calling,
 Do not pass me by.
 Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
 More than life to me,
 Whom on earth have I beside Thee?
 Or whom in heaven but Thee?

L-63 I'm so glad that that could mean that to a blind woman. What could it mean to you and I, who can work, and labor, and serve the Lord Jesus in the way that we do. God bless you. Now...
