Emery, a friend of the ministry, sent me this hymn, and I really liked it!
1. You have longed for sweet peace,
And for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed.
But you cannot have rest,
Or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.
Refrain:
Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest,
And have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.
2. Would you walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
And have peace and contentment alway?
You must do His sweet will
To be free from all ill–
On the altar your all you must lay.
Refrain
3. Oh, we never can know
What the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed,
Till our body and soul
He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid.
Refrain
4. Who can tell all the love
He will send from above,
And how happy our hearts will be made,
Of the fellowship sweet
We shall share at His feet
When our all on the altar is laid!
Refrain

Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Until the nets are full,
P.S. Linda found a great way to plant a seed. She was looking to give them water and whetting their thirst for living water! Give it a try!
Hey, Mark,
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this idea sooner. I imagine people are
already doing this. I am expecting several deliveries, so I thought a bottle
of ice water and your book might be good.
Linda
And the results are in!
She wrote back to say the following, “Taken!”
P.P.S.
