SIN THE ROOT
CAUSE OF SICKNESS
Composed on 6th October, 1997 Hong Kong
The crowd, as ever, hindered the four men of faith ,
In their struggle of bringing a sick to Jesus .
So up they climbed the roof and laid him down to Him.
Jesus saw their faith and was pleased to heal the sick.
Then Jesus said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you".
They thought the sickness was body paralysis
But to Jesus his real sickness was his sin .
So the moment he was forgiven he was healed.
Today millions of people are ailing with pains.
They seek for healing, Oh how they cry for healing.
But they do not know the root cause which is the sin,
For which Jesus paid the price for all once for all.
THE TWO FOLD FIERY
DARTS OF SATAN
Composed on 6th October 1997 Hong Kong
The twofold fiery darts of Satan against men
Which he's wielding to annihilate the mankind .
The first is sin; likewise, the second is sickness.
They are the most deadly darts to humanity.
Every sin is a living spirit from Satan.
Every sickness has a satanic living germ.
Jesus rebuked the germ for healing the body.
He commanded the devil to leave the possessed.
Peter's mother-in-law was ailing from fever.
He rebuked the fever and it left her body.
He rebuked the devil ; the child was delivered.
Follow the Master for healing and salvation.
HE MOVING OF THE WATER
Composed on 6th October 1997 Hong Kong
Thirty eight years, a poor sick man was awaiting
For the moving of the water for his healing .
Millions of people too are waiting long in vain
For the moving of the church for their salvation .
Alas, to whom the trust to move the world is giv'n
Unmindful are they for the blind, lame, paralyzed ;
They’re unmindful of perishing souls of this age.
When will the churches be awakened and moving?
Jesus came to the helpless, the bedridden man,
"Do you want to be well? Do not look to others.
"Rise, take up your bed and walk". He arose and walked.
What a privilege is ours to believe God's word!
THE LOVER OF OUR SOUL
Composed on 7th October 1997 Hong Kong
Her very life was knitted to her only son.
He was everything to her: her joy and her world.
But one day he died and was carried for burial.
She wept and mourned. Her grief was immeasurable.
The Master saw her and took pity upon her.
He said to her, "Do not weep" and touched the coffin,
"Young man, I say to you arise". And he arose.
He presented him alive to his dear mother.
There are still countless who weep and mourn for their dead.
Oh if they know the One Who died and rose again,
Who is still the same Resurrection and the Life,
The Lover of our souls, even the Lord Jesus
FORGIVENESS IS WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE OF ONE'S LOVE
Composed on 7th October 1997 Kong Kong
A woman in the city who was a sinner
Washed Jesus' feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
The alabaster flask of fragrant oil she broke
And the feet of Jesus was anointed with it .
Then Jesus said to her," Your sins are forgiven."
"Your faith saved you. Go in peace." Said the Lord Jesus .
‘Cause forgiveness is salvation which comes through faith
Jesus is no respecter of sins though many.
The infinite blood covers the infinite sin.
Why not come to Jesus and get your sins forgiv'n
For He who loves Jesus more will He forgive more ,
Forgiveness is weighed in the balance of one's love,
WHERE IS YOUR FAITH
Composed on 8th October 1997 Hong Kong
The sky was black, the storm raged, and the billows roared,
But the Lord was in the stem of the boat asleep.
Water was filling their boat .They're about to sink.
They cried out ,1 "Master, Master, we are perishing."
Then the Lord arose, and rebuked the raging wind.
The angry wind obeyed and ceased; there was a cairn.
They marveled and said, "What manner of man is this,
That even the wind and the sea obey His word."
The world around us is raging and darkening.
The angry wind of the devil is blowing fast;
Its water is filling the home; What jeopardy!
But the Master is awaiting to wake Him up.
He's still the Master of the wind, its Creator;
He's the King over the devils, their Controller.
He still rebukes the wind and binds Satan for you.
"Where is your faith? How is it that you have no faith?"
