Precious Crumbs

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me; Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of Your hands. Psalm 138:8

Psalm 145:3,4 Great Is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and His Greatness Is Unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare Your Mighty Acts.
Oh what great and precious promises we have through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ both of the life that now is and of the one to come. Insofar as we are enabled to see we have been purchased with the precious blood of Christ, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever, then we are likewise enabled to see the glory of that which He has accomplished in us by grace through faith in the finished work of His cross for the increase of His kingdom beyond our own understanding and the years of our existence on earth. Thus we are to sow the Word of Truth beside all waters by the power of the Holy Spirit of God, as we live, entrusting that God for His Own glory will fulfill His purpose for us whether by life or by death.

Oh do we not by faith preach truth
To souls beyond our years.
For Christ alone, speaks from the throne
To overcome all fears.

And if we be but precious crumbs
Dropped from our Master's table.
Broken and blessed, we shall be used
To speak them loud as Able.

To feed a multitude so numerous
Beyond the sight of eyes,
Immortal with the KING of kings,
Who was and Is our Prize!

And as we follow in His train
With those gone now before,
Our shouts of Hallelujah ring
Til then on Heaven's shore--

We see His face, Whose Sweet Perfume
We smelled while in this life,
Through death rejoice we, through the blood
Of Christ our Sacrifice!

And when as voices from the past
You find us present there,
We bid you from the Smiling Face
Of Christ, Who's gentle care--

Will strengthen you to see by faith
The Wonders of His Love,
As all through life He carries you
With eagles wings above.
