My Theme...by E.L.

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. Acts 11: 14 "Be of good cheer." "I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for He will speak peace unto His people,  and to His saints." (Psalm 85:8) My Theme Speak to me now of Christ! My soul is weary of fightings, fears, and words that have no end; Hungry and thirsty am I - yea, and longing for sweet refreshment He alone can send. Speak to me now of Christ! - not your opinion - comparing man to man but leads to strife; Of Jesus let me hear - my souls beloved, whose words speak comfort, peace, eternal life! Speak to me now of Christ, who lowly suffered enduring spitting, scourging, grief and shame - Who, when accused and cursed, He answered nothing - He is my Saviour - let me hear His Name! Speak to me now of Christ, Who, heavy laden, bore the dread cross up Calvary's cruel hill. The Lord of life! He died in bitter anguish - for my vile sins His own life-blood did spill. Speak to me now of Christ, Who spoke to Mary, that resurrection morn of death's defeat, Revealing to her heart that secret, "Father! I now ascend, and, in me, you are meet."  Speak to me now of Christ, Who now is seated, crowned with all glory on the Father's throne. His eye still on the desert, lone and dreary, He watches every footstep of His own. Speak to me now of Christ, Who soon is coming to take us home, where sight can never dim, Where all His own, with tongues and hearts uniting, in one eternal song shall speak of Him! And when I speak, let me speak well of Jesus, the altogether lovely One, my Friend - My every thought of Him brings peace and comfort, He loves me, and will love me to the end.    (Composed by Ethel Florence Light who, at the age of 96 went home  to be with her Lord on September 28, 2013) N.J.
