Whodda thunk it!

Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor…

I just read the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s song:  “Saved.”

Saved

I was blinded by the devil

Born already ruined

Stone-cold dead

As I stepped out of the womb

By His grace I have been touched

By His word I have been healed

By His hand I’ve been delivered

By His spirit I’ve been sealed

I’ve been saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

Saved

And I’m so glad

Yes, I’m so glad

I’m so glad

So glad

I want to thank You, Lord

I just want to thank You, Lord

Thank You, Lord

By His truth I can be upright

By His strength I do endure

By His power I’ve been lifted

In His love I am secure

He bought me with a price

Freed me from the pit

Full of emptiness and wrath

And the fire that burns in it

I’ve been saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

Saved

And I’m so glad

Yes, I’m so glad

I’m so glad

So glad

I want to thank You, Lord

I just want to thank You, Lord

Thank You, Lord

Nobody to rescue me

Nobody would dare

I was going down for the last time

But by His mercy I’ve been spared

Not by works

But by faith in Him who called

For so long I’ve been hindered

For so long I’ve been stalled

I’ve been saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

By the blood of the lamb

Saved

Saved

And I’m so glad

Yes, I’m so glad

I’m so glad

So glad

I want to thank You, Lord

I just want to thank You, Lord

Thank You, Lord

Well, I guess, if old Bobbie* believed these words, our paths in the heavenlies will assuredly be crossing in that grand and Glorious Day in the Ages to Come.  (...despite what the Calvinists say!)

Romans 2:11

For there is no respect of persons with God.

*"Happy belated Birthday, Bob!"    (May 24, 1941)
