The Old Old Story

     Most of us know the wonderful written Old, Old Story of Jesus and His love, but so often, in the course of daily life we forget the amazing things He has done for us and is continuing to do for us daily.  We grumble and complain although we have so much to be thankful for.  When I think of how much I complain, I can't help but remember how the Israelites did the same.  Although God was with them and leading them daily, they grumbled. 

There is an old, old story

about continued worry;

all the people's groaning

and forgotten blood's atoning.

 

There is an old continuing story

of forgotten promised glory;

all the people's whining,

moaning, and pining;

A forgotten death on Calvary's cross

a love to still the pain of loss.

 

What a feat to remember the old, old story

of a Savior who came from glory;

of a victory in death

as He took His final breath.
