HAVE THE ANGELS SANG FOR YOU

"Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

Luke 15:10
King James Version

M. A. Dodge wrote an inspiring hymn that should make all of us search our heart "THE ANGELS’ JOY".

"There is joy among the angels, When the children seek the fold; How they tune their harps and voices, Gathered ’round the gates of gold.
Then to Jesus come away; Hear Him kindly, gently say, Suffer all the little children, Bid them come to Me today.
There is joy among the angels, When a soul by sin oppressed, To the Savior turns repenting, And receives the promised rest.
There is joy among the angels, As they bear the news to Heaven, Of a child on earth rejoicing, O’er the bliss of sins forgiven."
Rev. Elisha Albright Hoffman wrote a hymn that asks a question that all of us have to answer "Are You Washed in the Blood?"
"Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white! Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for His presence bright, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, And be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, O be washed in the blood of the Lamb."
Someone asked why do you always include hymns in your devotions? The Bible gives us the answer. " Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." Psalms 100:2
I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You that on August 14, 1980, You saved me and gave me a reason to live and put a song in my heart.
