Song Lyrics
He speaks life to the dead world of men
Bringing hope to the wandering lost,
Sweet release from the bondage of sin—
Lay your load at the foot of the cross.
For it’s there He will take up the yoke
Of the sinner who cries out to Him;
There the power of Satan He broke,
Your Redeemer will cleanse you from sin.
Though you walk in the shadow of death,
And the valley is lonesome and wide,
He will lead through each yard of its breadth,
He will tread every step at your side.
When you’ve safely crossed over the vale
You will see Christ the Lord face to face,
Where no death and no darkness prevail—
How amazing this gospel of grace!
It’s a message He gave us to share
With all nations who live far and near—
We’re His voice in the world to declare —
“Come to Him all of you who can hear!!”

Vivid imaging here. Great job! Congratulations on the Jewel Chest!
This is so lovely! How I would like to hear someone sing it so I could hear the tune you had in mind. I love the third stanza especially. Death looms before us all, except the blessed generation, and knowing that God will go every yard and bring us safely to the other side is comfort, grace and joy.
Beautifully written song lyrics. My favorite, "When you’ve safely crossed over the vale -- You will see Christ the Lord face to face, -- Where no death and no darkness prevail— -- How amazing this gospel of grace!" What a comforting thought! Very nice work on this!
