‘Since I’      (March27, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

Since I have lived upon this earth,

I let sin enter in.
Became a slave to my own flesh,
And could not deal with sin.

That strength temptation holds its sway,

Administers its control.
For weakness comes, and here’s the sum;
From flesh, those sins will roll.

I’ve been where every one has been,

And let sin rule my life.
At twelve, the Lord sent me His word,
Amidst my toil and strife.

Then I believed, and fast received

Salvation, pure and free.
Now I thank God. Through Jesus’ name,
My Lord has rescued me.

And so it is with every one!

Their sins will drag them down
To that same level as the devil,
We were all hell-bound!

But, just like me, He’ll set you free

From that eternal fate.
Believe in Him, be free from sin,
And you’re at heaven’s gate!

Your flesh no longer in control,

For faith will give you strength.
That hope we have: eternal life,
For breadth, and height, and length

With Him we’ll be for evermore.

With love, and joy, and peace.
No longer have that sin and strife;
For forever will increase;

And everlasting never ends,

New heaven and new earth
Awaits the soul that’s been made whole.
By Jesus, through new birth.

My new song I sang on my broadcast in the 1980's:

Written by someone else more than forty years ago

‘Born again: free from sin.
I’m happy night and day!
I can shout! There’s no doubt,
I know I’m born again!’

‘Satan tried to tell my I just

Thought I got saved.
He tells me what a fool I have been.
But when my mind goes back to that ol’
Place where I prayed, I know I’m born again!

God loves you: love Him back!
