Saints DO pray – rejoicing.

MY SON
He is little and small,
Maybe two feet tall.
The hair is blond on his head;
That’s not brown, but its better than red.
He doesn’t talk yet, not very much,
‘Course, that doesn’t make him easy to hush.
His legs are bowed a little bad,
But that just makes him like his dad.
He has some ways that are pretty cute;
One each occasion to suite.
He’s always playing, on the run;
He’s a fine boy. He’s my son!

Living for Jesus, a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.
Refrain
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me.
I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne.
My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.
2.
Living for Jesus Who died in my place,
Bearing on Calvary my sin and disgrace;
Such love constrains me to answer His call,
Follow His leading and give Him my all.
3.
Living for Jesus, wherever I am,
Doing each duty in His holy Name;
Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
4.
Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
Thomas Obadiah (T. O.) Chisholm was born this date, 7/29/1866, at Franklin, Kentucky. He was a Methodist pastor, a teacher, an editor, and a poet. Technically I could have met him (didn’t) but I did know Paul W Finch who knew Bro. Chisholm (so feel a little connected). Of his 1,200 (+) poems three are: “Oh, To Be Like Thee” “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and “Living for Jesus.” He died 2/29/1960 at Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
