An Old Time Preacher Praised the Lord - By: Susan Y Nikitenko

An Old Time Preacher Praised the Lord

By: Susan Nikitenko

An old time preacher praised the Lord;

Through both thick and thin.

When placed into a nursing home;

Still had joy within.

He rode his wheelchair here and there;

Singing all the day.

He talked of Jesus and His love;

Showing men the Way.

When forbidden to wheel around;

He stayed on his bed.

He did not gripe or grump, nor groan;

But He sang instead.

In glee he served his mission field;

Others watched Him glow.

He left behind a legacy;

It will surely grow.

His children and grandchildren,

Fellowman and friend;

Were all impacted by his joy;

Shining ‘till the end.

Let us sing in times of trouble;

We will touch this world.

Just like that old time preacher did;

Praising our dear Lord.

Because You’re Worthy to Be Praised - By: Susan Y Nikitenko

Because You’re Worthy to Be Praised

I want to write a new song;

And sing so all can hear.

How you changed my life completely;

Wiped away my flowing tears.

I want to sing it outright;

Praises to your precious name.

In the morning and at night;

Everyday no shame.

Because you’re worthy to be praised;

Your hands were wounded for me.

One day I will see your face;

With thanks for setting me free.

This world seems so far from you;

Many have turned aside.

Please, use my serving hands for thee;

And close to you I’ll hide.

Because you’re worthy to be praised;

Your feet were wounded for me.

One day I will walk with you;

Touch your cheek so tenderly.

I will tell you how I love you;

Because you first loved me.

Oh, what a day, great and wonderful day;

To behold your face and say.

You are worthy to be praised;

Your side was wounded for me.

And I will fall down on my face;

Loving, praising you eternally.
