<TITLE>19. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 I stood there, and I thought... When Charles Wesley was down on the river that day, or the lakeside in his little cabin, a storm come up, and he was trying to make his way back. A little sparrow flew in his bosom, and he held it till the storm was over, went out and held it on his finger. And inspiration come.
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
While the...?... waters roll,
While the tempest still is high,
Hide me, oh, my Saviour, hide,
Till the storms of life is past,
Safe into thy bosom climb...
Oh, my, great men.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
With partings leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps Another,
While sailing over life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
In seeing, shall take heart again. (I like that.)
Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
That life is just an empty dream!
The soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Yea, life is real! And life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
For dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. (Oh, I like that.)
Let us be up and doing,
With a heart for any strife,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle! (Don't be drove into it.)
Be a hero in the strife.
Oh, my, them poets and things certainly thrill my soul when I read of those godly men that wrote them--like the "Psalm Of Life" there, Longfellow. And how that...
I think that God penned them things. Them men of old, as it said in the Bible, moved by the Holy Spirit wrote those old Blood songs, "I See A Crimson Stream Of Blood," all those famous old songs of the church. It's a lot better than some of this little old chopped-up stuff we have today, brethren. I tell you it is. I love that old-time religion, love all those good old songs of the faith.

L-71 All right. While the Holy Spirit is here, we'll call the prayer line, and pray for the sick. Everybody get your faith now, and in your heart... You don't have to say it in your mouth. You remember, your--your thoughts are louder in heaven than your voice is on earth. See? Say this, "Oh, Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." See if He will do the same thing He did.
Zacchaeus, just pull out your fig leaf one time and look down, see if He isn't still the same yesterday, today, and forever, see if He doesn't do the same thing. He will pull you out, speak to you. And the good thing, He will go home with you tonight; have a talk with Him before you go to bed, you and your wife. Home will be changed. It won't be like it used to be then, when He goes home with you.

L-72 Billy, where you at? Gene, Leo, who give out the prayer cards? You? Oh, oh, Billy? Where's Billy at? What? D-1 to a 100? Prayer card D's was give out today. Now, so that we won't be able to get mixed up... Have we got enough room there? I guess we could stand a few there of our brethren. Who has D-number-1? All right, lady, go right over here. Now, answer your call. Number 2?

L-73 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... take place beautifully. There was a man and his wife, first time they was ever in one in my meetings; they were setting in the audience. A lady come in, and set down by the side of them, and the little lady resented it. The lady was setting close, 'cause she was in her way--made her move back.
After while the little lady made her move back. She re... This woman that had to move back, she resented the woman resenting her. So she got to praying. She said, "Lord, I oughtn't to have done that. Forgive me. I didn't mean it."
And then, the lady that was in front that had resented her said, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." And the two, the husband and wife were sick. And oh, just a little bit after it was done, I seen the Angel of the Lord standing over them, called them by name and healed them both, and sent them back to their home. Lake Charles will know about it.
