<TITLE>30. Par 282-285</TITLE>L-282 Can I sing this one verse over?
Though these people may not learn to be, (They don't have any great big D.D., Ph.D.'s, You see?, no great big things. See?)
These people may not learn to be,
Nor boast of worldly fame, (some great organization)
They have all received their Pentecost,
Every one of them baptized in Jesus' Name;
And they're telling now both far and wide,
His power is yet the same,
I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
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 that I can say I'm one of them.
Oh, not for all earth's golden millions would I leave this precious place,
Though the tempter has... persuade me oft has tried,
But I'm safe in God's pavilion, happy in His love and grace,
And I'm living on the hallelujah side. (Oh, my.)

L-283 I'm so glad of that. Aren't you? Aren't you glad to be one of them? Just one of them, one of them humble people that just emptied yourself out, come down, not before an idol, before a living God, not before an organization and put your name on a book, before a living God; not to recite a creed, but to let the Word become flesh in you. See, that's it. And humbled yourself. And then through that, He exalted you up above; not to be heady, high-minded, say "I'm this, that, or the other," but in humility, sweetness, and "How did He ever save a wretch like me? And how did He ever do it?" That's the way the real Christian feels. Don't you believe that? Oh, He is so real.
Real, real, He's so real to me.
Oh, real, real, He's so real to me.
Though some people doubt Him,
I can't live without Him,
That's why I love Him,
And He's so real to me.
Real, He's so real to me. (Sing it.)
Real, real, He's so real to me.
Though some people doubt Him,
... but I can't live without Him,
That is why I love Him,
And He's so real to me.
Oh, I'm so glad of that. Yes, sir. Oh, I'm so glad for this great old Gospel way, living in this glorious old Gospel way.

L-285 Now, friends, till we meet at the throne of the Christ again, when you're praying, remember me. God bless every one of you. I'm--I can't say that I'm sorry I kept you here.
Now, to you that's got the handkerchief laid here, I just laid hands upon them while we were praying for the sick, if you noticed me doing it as soon as the Spirit struck. I didn't go in too many visions, because I'm weak, tired, you know, been here about two or three hours now, preaching. And I just started to get a few along the line so that you'll see that God is God. See? The impossible, the paradox, that the things unsearchable. The devil...
Now, remember, each one of you has power in Christ. You don't have power; you have authority, your authority. You're just exalted way above, not to be exalt yourself up, but Christ has lifted you up. The more Christ lifts you up, the farther you want to be down (See?); you'll feel so humble. So how would He ever save a wretch like me, how did He ever do it? But He did it; and so I'm thankful for it. Amen. So good.
