Julia Johnston

Today I was introduced to a song writer that has penned over 500 songs. Pastor Wes Humble referred to Julia Johnston in a sermon he preached mid-Augus 2011. The song he shared is called "He Ransomed Me", it's such a great lyric! I've never heard it sung, but reading it aloud is good enough, and I would like to pass it on:

There’s a sweet and blessed story

Of the Christ who came from glory,
Just to rescue me from sin and misery;
He in loving-kindness sought me,

And from sin and shame hath brought me,

Hallelujah! Jesus ransomed me.

From the depth of sin and sadness
To the heights of joy and gladness
Jesus lifted me, in mercy full and free;
With His precious blood He bought me,
When I knew Him not, He sought me,
And in love divine He ransomed me.

By and by, with joy increasing,
And with gratitude unceasing,
Lifted up with Christ forevermore to be,
I will join the hosts there singing,
In the anthem ever ringing,
To the King of Love who ransomed me.

Hallelujah! What a Savior,
Who can take a poor, lost sinner,
Lift him from the miry clay and set me free!
I will ever tell the story,
Shouting glory, glory, glory,
Hallelujah! Jesus lifted me.

"When I knew Him not- He sought me."

Have a Great Day!!
