Take the whole world, but give me Jesus; no turning back, no turning back. I have decided to follow Jesus.
This original hymn was sung by Nokseng, a Garo man from a tribe in Meghadaya in Assam, which is the northeast of India. The formation of this song to hymn is attributed to an Indian missionary Sadhu Sundar Singh.
For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For I delight in Him. ( Psalm 18 verse 21)
Behold the Lamb of God.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Revelation 5 verse 12
Yet To Be 253
We think of Him, who in willing obedience to the Father came to earth to die.
The Son of God who was there in eternity past left it all for us that we might be enriched.
Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, ( he emptied himself), and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, ( his own creation), he humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
It does not end here…
But we see Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
