As I write this post this morning, I remember this song… allow me to share it with you today:
“When I think about the Lord,
How He saved me, how He raised me,
How He filled me, with the Holy Ghost;
How He healed me, to the uttermost…
When I think about the Lord,
How He picked me up and turned me around,
How He placed my feet on solid ground…
It makes me want to shout,
Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus,
LORD, you’re worthy, of all the glory, and all the honor, and all the praise…”
