19-21 Sept 2014 - Hymn about Stephen provided by Bill Persall of Canada. Thank you, Bill!
Acts 7:59-60 “And
they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my
spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this
sin to their charge. And when he said this, he fell asleep.”
I want to thank
Bill Persall of Canada for sending me the whole song that I could not find. I
used to memorize all the words and put into a play, and sang it in sign language
style. I had two players acted like people throwing “stones,” using brown
papers crushed to look like the small stones. It was an unforgettable experience
about Stephen who gave his life for Christ. There’s something about the song
and I pray that it will touch your heart. Dorothy
SONG: I SEE JESUS
The author of this hymn was Charles B. Wycuff.
Once a man name Stephen preached about the Lord,
Folks were saved and folks were healed, As they
heard his word;
Satan did not like it, Soon he had his crowd,
And as he was tried they heard Stephen cry aloud.
Chorus:
“I see Jesus, standing at the Father’s right hand,
I see Jesus yonder in the promised land;
Work is over, now I’m coming to thee,
I see Jesus, standing waiting for me.”
As the stones fell on him beating out his life,
Stephen knew he’d soon be through with all toil and
strife;
So much like the Master, with a heart so true,
He prayed, ‘Lord forgive for they know not what they
do.’
Chorus:
“I see Jesus, standing at the Father’s right hand,
I see Jesus yonder in the promised land;
Work is over, now I’m coming to thee,
I see Jesus, standing waiting for me.”
Through the gates of glory down the streets of gold,
Marched a hero of the Lord into heaven’s fold;
When he met the Saviour at the great white throne,
I believe He smiled and said, ‘Stephen welcome
home.’
Chorus:
“I see Jesus, standing at the Father’s right hand,
I see Jesus yonder in the promised land;
Work is over, now I’m coming to thee,
I see Jesus, standing waiting for me.”
