In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of repentance and belief in Christ. He urges the audience to surrender to God and turn away from their sins. The preacher emphasizes that our souls are precious and that we should focus on the revealed word of God. He also addresses the idea that God is good and would not send someone to hell if they were made in the state they are in. The preacher encourages the audience to share the gospel and proclaim the name of God.

In the 15th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, we have the story of a Gentile woman approaching our Lord, and our Lord deliberately, to us it looks like, was very rude to her. Our Lord answers her request. He comes, as recorded in verse 22, and says, Have mercy on me, O Lord. Thou Son of David, my daughter grievously begs for redeeming. But he answered her, first of all, not a word. And his disciples came to stop him, saying, Send her away, for she cries after us. And so he finally spoke to the woman. There she comes now. She's got a daughter in bad shape. And he first doesn't say anything to her. And then when he does say something to her, he brings up the doctrine of national election. He answers and said, I'm not sent, but under the lost sheep of the house of Israel. I read a sermon by Mr. Spurgeon on this text. And Mr. Spurgeon suggested that perhaps one reason the Lord confronted this woman with a very stern doctrine, and he did it in such a way as to discourage her, it looks like, was that he wanted to get her the truth about the matter before she heard it misrepresented as she later would. Somebody's bound to tell this seeking woman that our Lord's ministry, when he first came here, was confined exclusively for a while to the Jewish people. And that he wasn't looking for Gentiles. And they were going to tell it in a way to make error out of truth and discourage a woman that didn't need to be discouraged. I wouldn't be surprised, but Spurgeon hadn't got the truth there. One of the things that I hear so many times every week, I listen to you as you witness people come to see me, and I go see others, and it seems that religious people, preachers, many of them, people, are making a terrible booger-boo out of the fact that the little new church that we're trying to start, Hope the Lord will plant, that we do believe in the doctrine, not only of national election for the Jews, but of personal election for the Christians, for the believers. I hear all manner of things about that terrible truth. And now and then I feel impressed to the spirit as I have all week to address myself to any who are present tonight who are in earnest about your soul's relationship to God, and to say a helpful word, if I can, to all of you who are in this age where we have scouted Bible truth and where we don't know much about what the Scripture teaches, to encourage you not to join the ranks of people who are ashamed of what's in the Bible, but also to encourage you to remember that it's not simply this truth, but it's every truth in the Bible, that you must approach it as a little child willing to be taught, and that your conception of any teaching in the Word of God will be guided by your conception of the God of the Word. If you've got a little God that you can comprehend, that you can understand, then you'll expect to understand his great teaching. But the Apostle Paul is, of all the writers of the New Testament, the one writer who devotes more time than anybody except our Lord. And there together, Paul didn't learn something the Lord didn't know, but he's responsible for what's called the doctrines of grace. And when Paul gets on them, he has a word for us that would be very helpful if we pay attention to it. In the 11th chapter of the book of Romans, after Romans 9, where God's sovereignty is certainly taught, chapter 10 and chapter 11, where sovereignty rings in every verse, here is the reaction that the Holy Spirit moved the Apostle Paul to write down as his own reaction, and I trust it will be ours. Every great truth in the Bible is subject to face, but none of them to understanding. There is no man living that can explain how God is one and yet two. There is no man living that can explain how the Lord Jesus Christ is one and yet two. He's God and yet he's man. There is no man living that can understand a single basic teaching of the Word of God. And I beg you, if you proclaim to know the Lord Jesus Christ, to exhibit some of the spirit of the Apostle Paul, when he's delved into the secrets of God, his reaction is given in verses 33-36. This is a good place to come, and I use this before coming to the text tonight. Oh, the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. They are too deep for you to understand. How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out. I like the word of Barnhouse, a good teacher of God's Word. That while we cannot understand, while we wait for more life, we can worship. That sounds like a Christian. That sounds like somebody who's got some conception of the majesty and the glory of God. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? The Apostle Paul was a graduate of the greatest universities of his day. He was a member, as a young man, of the Sanhedrin. You had to know something. He was a student of the greatest teacher of his day. He went to school to Jesus Christ in the Spirit in Arabia for three years, but in that long, to show him the gospel. And after he's astounded in all of its richness and fullness, he throws up his hands and worships a God whose ways are so far above our ways that it behooves us children of the dust to shut our big mouths but criticize in God and quit saying we'll believe only what we can understand and quit trying to reason out the great truths of the Bible in such a way as to dishonor God and to make our worship equal to his. Who hath known the mind of the Lord? For who hath been his counselor? For who hath first given to him? And it shall be reckoned unto him again. For of him and through him and to him are all things to whom be glory, to whom be glory, to whom be glory forever. Every truth in this Bible is going to bring glory to God. Every truth in this Bible is going to bring glory to God by being a blessing to mankind. When God says he does all things to promote his glory, he's not pulling his rank like the dead in the army. He chooses to promote his glory by promoting the good of mankind. Every truth in the Bible is to promote the glory of God and the good of man. Now, with that word of caution, I want to approach the subject tonight. And I want to be a little tedious tonight. Mark a little time tonight. Maybe come down and do a little more like a teacher tonight. I feel the need of it. There is such a vast stigma today. My, how Winston-Salem's been filled with perversion of what the doctrine of election is today. You meet it on your milk route. You meet it on your mail route. You meet it where you work. You meet it down at Reynolds. You meet it down at Hayes. You meet it on the streets. You meet it everywhere. My, God, isn't it awful? To take a doctrine. To even take it in his soul and use it to discourage men and women from seeking with their whole heart to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. I think perhaps our Lord would have us now and then to try to clear some of the smoke that religious people are putting in the way of sinners getting to Christ by their coming and taking great truths in the Bible and trying to reason from them out of their little puny heads and drawing conclusions that will damn every sinner that listens to them and will dishonor God Almighty. The first time the glory of God is mentioned as a truth in the Bible. We find in Exodus chapter 33 that God's going to promote his glory. Moses asked, God, I want to see your glory. Show me thy glory. And God says, the way I'll show my glory, I'll make all my goodness pass before thee. I'll proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Now that blessed truth is being used today to discourage people. I've been in hundreds of Baptist churches where there's been mention of it and it has so caused confusion for people who say they know the Lord. They immediately jump up, take the bits in their hands and the reins in their hands and begin to accuse God of being a devil and accuse God of being a monster. I hear this precious doctrine that is a blessed doctrine in the sight of God that was used by my Lord as a source of encouragement when he faced people who wouldn't believe although they saw him. He fell back on the truth that God Almighty had come that would listen to him. This blessed gospel that is for the comfort of every child of God and has a very marvelous effect on everybody who isn't a Christian. If it's gotten right, not from the realm of understanding but from the realm of revelation. If we'll take what God says instead of what we make God say. If we'll let God drop death from place to place instead of us doing the job then we wouldn't have all of this confusion. I say to you that the way back to the power of God is not by letting those who prefer truth have all the faith. We must come and find the truth. And tonight I want to assert again that God Almighty is sovereign. He's sovereign in creation. He's sovereign in providence. He handles the nations as seen as good in his sight. He's sovereign in salvation. He's gracious to whom he will be gracious. He shows mercy to whom he will show mercy. And I say to you my friends that God Almighty has a right to do that very thing and whether you believe it or not it's so and it worries God very little. I'm not here tonight to apologize for the glorious doctrine of the truth that God sovereignly and without asking anybody according to his own will that God Almighty chooses those whom he will save. I'm not ready to apologize for that. But I do want to say some things tonight if I may to show you that that truth instead of being good at that truth instead of being ignored that truth instead of being used as a tool to discourage people who are seeking the way that the grandest truth this side of hell is I may boldly say that the wisest person in all of creation is Almighty God that our little wisdom all of it put together is a drop in the bucket to the side of God and I'm glad that the one in whom all wisdom in its fullness is placed is the one who's running things. Yes God I'm glad that God is sovereign. I tell you right now if God were not the supreme ruler the wisest men on the face of the earth tonight would hold a meeting before sun up and elect him to be sovereign. Because if we are not going to have God as sovereign we've got to have the devil and I'd rather have God. Wouldn't you? God Almighty is perfect in wisdom. Do you believe that? The God of the Bible is perfect in wisdom. It is a disgrace to call anything he says he does a valuable doctrine when he is full of wisdom. And anybody that talks that way here and now is showing that he's not, doesn't know what he's talking about as a doctrine he just ain't acquainted with God. For anybody that even gets in spit and distance of a saving relationship with the God and follow thou our Jesus Christ will bow and say thou art all wise. Whatever you do please God for it. Thank God the Lord gives it and the Lord takes it away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. He is all wise. The God of the Bible is represented as having his name. His name is holiness. He's perfect in holiness. He's so perfect in wisdom that he cannot be wrong. He's so perfect in holiness that he will not be wrong. The God of the Bible, the essence of the God of the Bible, God is love. Old time theologians were right. They say that every attribute of God streams from his love. God is at his holy. The God almighty is love. Everything that God does has for the base of his doing L-O-V-E, love. If he jams a man and sends him to hell he does it out of the base of love. For there's no such thing as perfect love that just loves everything. You can kick yourself out loving your wife with a perfect love. All you want to. If there's no difference between your love of a pure woman and your hatred of a wicked woman there's nothing to your hatred, there's nothing to your love. God has his essence, love, and being love. Yes, God, he's fit to do as he pleases. He's sovereign in the dispensation of his grace. Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us in Luke chapter 4 that there were many widows in the time of Elijah the prophet but none of the widows of the Jewish nation was Elijah's sent but instead he was sent to a Gentile, heathen woman, to be suckered. Our Lord says that there were many lepers in the time of Elisha the prophet but God didn't send Elisha to heal the lepers in Israel or bare lepers there but he went and picked the Hitler of his day. For Naaman was the Hitler, the desperate of his day, a Gentile and sovereignly saved him. Our Bible is clear about one thing that the Lord has made sovereign choices between men and angels. The angels that left their first estate there has never been one move from the heart and will of God from that day until this day to save them or make their salvation possible. He took not upon himself the seed of angels. He didn't come and identify himself with angels at all but he took upon himself the seed of Abraham, the father of believers. You say you don't believe that God is sovereign in his choice? He deteriorates in that he chose the reasons he hadn't explained to us to allow the angels to sin and be cast out and he has never made their move to affect their salvation. He's sovereign as between the angels and between mankind. Do you think my friends, there's anything in old Zacchaeus lined up there in that sycamore tree while down at his house his wife and kids stood with clubs to guard the money he'd stolen from his Jewish compatriots and young old man's up in a tree to see Christ and Christ stopped! You mean to tell me Sorens ain't good an old stealer in the old seas? You mean to tell me there was something about Zacchaeus that appeals to Christ from within Zacchaeus? No! It was the sovereign choice of a sovereign God who acts as he chooses, as he thinks. You mean to tell me that as Saul went down the road to Damascus to kill off some more Christians that God looked down and saw that old Saul was a nice fellow of power and that if he could get his way he'd do all right that this is about doing something for Jesus, you know. And he said I'll just save him so he'll serve me. No sir. There was no reason on earth why Paul was arrested there except that God Almighty shed his love upon him and went and struck it by him and saved him by his wonderful grace. Go with me under the Duke at Phil and tell me what you see within the life of the heart of that horrid woman has five ex-living hosts and still living in the city of Cyprus living now without the benefit of perjury or the sick and she comes there to draw water and eat them Well! Tell me! Tell me what my blessed Lord saw in front of that wicked, horrid woman and I'll tell you you can't do it! You can't do it! I'm telling you now If anybody gets through Saul's cage it'll have to be God If anybody sees that old horrid woman it'll have to be God If anybody sees that old thief like Zacchaeus it'll have to be God You needn't talk to me! They're not cooperating with God They're not cooperating all right! Paul was killing Christians the woman was committing adultery Zacchaeus was stealing everything and looted both ends and yet God in his perfect mercy arrested them, stopped them, crossed that path and saved them by his marvelous grace Now having said that let me say something to you If I speak to anybody here and you know if you die tonight you plunge right middle into hell some of you know that I'm telling you something Next time anybody professing to be a Christian listen to me Next time anybody that professes to be a Christian listen to me tries to ram any doctrine down you You get your account telling I gave you the stars and you knock them in the head You let Ralph Barnett tell you this You're to be occupied not with God's secret decrees You can study from now you're blue in the face but I tell you right now you'll never know a thing on earth about God's elected grace as far as you're concerned if it don't come under the head of your business and your business is to think you're lost in ruined condition and try to walk until the crucified risen Christ walk to the spirit and walk to grace in your heart and they will use to get to Christ and turn to God That's your job That's your job All the talks about their dream direction Who in God's name is trying to get any sinner to believe any doctrine or trying to get to surrender to a glorious person to a glorious person All have abused in this country have abused My soul is precious and I propose to show you tonight that your business was a reveal will of God The Lord told you to repent as a few that start facing The Lord told you to believe Your duty is to believe in Christ Your duty is to repent of your sins and turn towards God Your duty is that That's as plain as anybody You don't have to have any secret role to see that And thus God's work to reveal will of God is what you ought to be concerned with No man will ever find out whether he's one of God's elect until after his faith The only evidence anybody here has got tonight If you were one of those that God chose before the foundation of the world He was just a gospel king and made a change in your life It seemed that you were in power Yes sir, that's right Listen, listen, listen You just forget God's secret decrees Tonight we'll come back a little bit more And just to pay a little attention to what he tells you to do He commands all men everywhere to repent As you repented He don't tell you to take your time about it It's in the imperative mood when the word of the tomb occurs in the New Testament or in the oath in the lips of Christ Jesus or the Apostle Paul or Peter or anybody else in the book of Revelation It's repent right now right now My God You need to leave You are willing to live throughout the rest of this night in open repentance to God Almighty's command for you to repent toward God for you to repent toward God You need to tell me that you're willing to go home and close your eyes and go to sleep so that God can wake you up in the morning and come to know that I have given your attention to his plainly revealed word for you to put your faith in Christ and turn to God That's what you need to face That's what you need to face Then And I say this I say let me listen now I'm one of the elect and I say that's right and I don't either but I know God commands you to repent I know God commands you to believe I know he does that and I know this I know this that you wouldn't have to fool any other way rather if you were sick if you were sick you'd say well if I call a doctor and he gave me some medicine I don't know whether I don't know whether God will bless it or not If God don't bless the medicine of the doctor while dying I just won't call the doctor You wouldn't do that You wouldn't say well I know if I go out and plant my crops I know it won't make a thing unless God almighty sends the sunshine and the rain gives the increase you can't even raise tobacco without the providence of God can you? You say I don't know whether it will for me to have a crop or not and so I'll just sit around the stove and I won't plow a fur and I won't sow a seed You wouldn't do that would you? Would you? Well of course you wouldn't do that and I'm telling you right now you listen brother boy if you can plow through the church members making fun of these great truths you'll come to this truth those church members are trying to disturb you cause they're using these great truths as a cloak to hide their unwillingness to come clean with you At the end of the day all the fuss about this damnable luck doesn't come from honest hearts it comes from hearts that are using what they take as teachings as an excuse for their unbelief their failure to bow to the Lord Jesus Christ but look how this blessed truth gives misrepresentation and I say take your don't you don't you think that if a father had two sons and he was good to one of them and he was mean to the other and he blessed one of them and he just cursed the other don't you think that'd be terrible? Certainly certainly but that isn't the way it is with God and man that isn't the way it is it's not a great loving heavenly father being nice to one's son and being wicked mean to another it's a holy and a just God dealing not with sins but with criminals who've broken his holy law and subject to nothing but the judgment of a holy God and tell me this week about talking to a big famous man the man who's got it all fixed up and misrepresents a lot of people he said can't tell me something like that that God would make a man and then send him to hell well leave out one truth and that man's got it right ladies and gentlemen if God made you in the shape you are in now and then sends you to hell he is a monster and if you could prove to me that God's responsible for that old wicked heart of yours and that old wicked body of yours and if you could prove to me you are in the shape that God made you and that God made you like you are you love sin you drink sin you drink iniquity like it is water the Old Testament says you're prone to evil it's hard to do good if you could prove to me that this world of sinners were married like they are by God and then proved that if God do that and then send folks to hell for action just like their nature claims they ought to I'd curse God and die but God didn't do that there are odds the Bible says made you upright made you upright the Bible says and God created you created you perfect the Bible says and God created you created you in all holiness that's right and by your own sin you changed the image of God now God ain't supposed to say in the book you've been reading the image is mine and now God does not deal with men and women as his erring sons he deals with men and women as criminals against his holy law and it behooves this generation to be silent in the presence of that the only claim that any sinner this side of hell the only right that any sinner this side of hell got to pop off to God I can see where a sinner's got a perfect right to stand up on his hind legs and say God I demand what's coming to me I think a fellow's got a right to fight for what's coming to him but all on earth any of the sons of Adam have coming to them is exactly what God promised us he'd do in the day thou eatest that a fruit dying thou shalt surely die and I only demand that anybody's got on God to kill me and send me to hell that's right that's right you're not willing to do that oh my God-blessed man don't join this gang of unfaithful church members telling God how to run his business and refusing to believe anything in the Bible because it's too deep for that puny little mind this world's a giant prison house full of people not on probation full of people who've been brought into God's courtroom and have been tried and have been found guilty this whole world's up their asses as it did the sons of Coler and let you go to hell without time to pack a suitcase that's all God ought to do send them both to hell because it purposes to that truth and it does not oppose any other truth in the word of God such and last thing they say well Barnett you can do it I believe in a good God so do I goodness the end and good deeds done and the unjust and Salem going to hell solemn fact that any man or woman or boy or girl who goes out of this world trusting in the goodness of God to save them apart from Him being utterly joined to Christ is wrong you go to the hospital tomorrow you think I'm popping off tonight and someone will tell me some old fellow will I die of cancer ask him if he trusts in the Lord he will tell you he will yes ask him if he believes in Jesus Christ he will tell you he does boy he believes God's word you go down to the Jewish rabbi tomorrow or to some Orthodox Jew on the Jewish tour and ask him if he doesn't believe in the goodness of God and he does oh I believe in the goodness of God sending His blessings on all mankind but brother and go to hell so fast you kick up dust in the devil's face if you do not find out that the trust in the goodness of God apart from vital connection with Christ means your eternal damnation there is no salvation in the fact that God's so good that He sends the rain on the just and the unjust the only salvation is the fact that God is in Christ saving sinners oh yes He's good I believe God will do that He's too good yes He's too good to be unjust to anybody but brother He's so holy and He's so just that unless you come to terms with the terms of the gospel unless you come to grips with Christ as He freely hath it in the gospel goodness or no goodness you're going to hell that's right and the doctrine of election is simply that the doctrine of election just ends you up brother to the fact that salvation's in Christ salvation's in Christ salvation's not in the fact that God almighty sends the rain on the just and the unjust salvation's not in the fact that God deals in mercy to all mankind salvation's not in the fact that God longs to bring salvation's in Jesus Christ the well-delivered Son of the living God and goodness or no goodness there isn't any salvation anywhere else and the doctrine of election that they make fun of us for believing simply is this that God does what He does I'm so glad there are two ways to spell elect one is E-L-E-C-T and the other is E-L-I-E-V-E I'm glad that the gospel is the story of Jesus Christ purchasing the salvation of everybody God chose I'm further glad that the gospel is the blessed story of Christ hanging on a cross and being raised from a glorious grave that everybody that believes on Him shall be saved you spell the word elect two ways E-L-I-V-E everybody believes on Christ is saved everybody God chooses gonna get saved I'm glad I'm glad but nobody gonna get saved out of Christ nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody gonna get saved cause God's good sins are raised everybody gets saved gets saved as he finally joins Christ what this town doesn't need to hear is that God's good oh they're going to hell believe me they're going to hell talking about that I never met a fellow hardly that wasn't trusting the goodness of God all the church members they'll tell you about how God do His good He's too good to do this He's too good to do that the doctrine of election tells us this is how good God is He's good enough to save every vile son of Adam's race that gets into Christ oh yes discouraged people doctrine of election how it does give hope does give hope whosoever shall call upon the name of heaven and earth who heaven and earth whosoever heaven and earth whosoever Mr. Finley was preaching in Spurgeon's Tabernacle had four dolphins at that time Mr. Finley got up and gave his text Whosoever will intake the water of life freely man great big old Irishman up in the fourth balcony began to listen Mr. Finley cupped his hands to his mouth and he repeated it and he emphasized word by word let him come intake and he said whosoever will intake while he was going over that emphasizing the word big old Irishman had come down through the lower floor and coming down the middle aisle got down half way to the big foot bitly lifted his hand Mr. Finley stopped and the old Irishman said Mr. Finley that whosoever can call me and Mr. Finley said yes my brother whosoever that little chorus whosoever shall meet me bless God whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved is saved by doing like the evangelist telling now if you walk down this aisle and get out on your knees and pray the sinner's prayer he'll save you now now this text takes a little looking into how shall they call on him in whom they've not believed but the precious promise and I forbid no sinner to pray I keep saying go home get along with God Christ will inform you of I keep saying go home and Christ will grant you the grace of repentance I keep saying till you go home and pray you're not going to hurt anything brother I tell you right now the Bible doesn't say that God told the sons of Jacob to seek him in vain and I believe that the man who prays was given a desire to pray and God did it and I say pray on sinner and seek on sinner and the doctrine of election that sure does knock back the cocktail I believe that God chooses those who are faithful I also believe it's true ask and you shall receive and you shall find knock and it shall be opened unto you who so asketh and seeketh and knocketh they're both in the Bible this is dead certain brother that if you ever start seeking the Lord it proves what I'm preaching before you ever started seeking him he started seeking you I try I watch this blessed doctrine and oppose the invitations if we couldn't quote be silly to invite a fellow how wide the invitation is it's as wide as the thirst it's as wide as the need of mankind it's as wide as the guilt of mankind I believe come and try come to him believing what the gospel says about him to see the revelation opposes the glorious truth the gospel does not oppose the terms of the gospel what is the gospel message to anybody believe on the Lord Jesus Christ election or no election if you can lean on Christ when I'm preaching tonight it's all belabored, made fun of on people who do not know Christ all theologians congregation of sinners into two groups the awakened sinners and the fellow that's still asleep in the center the fellow says oh, I was shackled to shake the streets and whistled by the cemeteries of his sin he's meek he's seeking not worth it used in the hands of the Holy Spirit to strike to death all your self-effort listen to him in the center if you don't quit listening to the preachers this day you're going to go to hell working as hard as you can to do something yourself to be saved the Armenian preacher stirs up your flesh you do this, you do this we come along and say you'll never save until you quit doing everything you're not saved by doing why they say if you'll pray if you'll do this, if you'll do that if you'll do the other and we come and say no, salvation's of the Lord what shall I do? what shall I do? get you to look to some striving of yourself no get you to look to him get you to try to repent yourself no get you to look to him to grant repentance get you to think that in your own strength you can get to Christ no get you to quit in your strength and just fall prostrate in the arms of him that's right we come and tell you if you ever save, it's because God will save you it's because God will save you all your strivings are no good everything you need's in Christ everything's in Christ God's got nothing for you except in Christ God's everything for you's in Christ you just got one need that's out of self into Christ look to him look to him oh if I can get a sinner to where he's dead to all self effort God in has saved the battle's almost won the battle's almost won this blessed truth is a very blessed truth because it brings hope to the hopeless here's a prison's house full of criminals somebody says I tell you if I had a whole lot of money I bet I could bribe the the king or the judge but I haven't got any money there's no hope for me and somebody, if I knew somebody that knew somebody I might get a pardon no hope for you but the doctrine of election comes along and says there you sit and if anybody will there's no savior that must be God but oh, that's his business and just think without any money without any Christ just think of the folks he saved was there ever such a wicked man as Amassad the wickedest king of all the Old Testament and yet God saved him was there ever such a wicked man as Saul of Tarsus breathing threatens and killing Christians and yet God saved him oh my that's hope it's hope to the vilest if you save people like that why won't you save me I tell you what I'm going to do seek his son live or die survive or perish salvation or damnation cast myself at the feet of the Lord I'll go to hell I'll go to hell brings a wonderful word to a sinner that thinks I ain't talking to a fellow if he wants to argue now but if you awaken me you need in the matter of power you say preacher I wish I could receive I've tried this I've tried that I've done this, I've done that I've prayed, I've so and so I've so and so and I can't get to Christ I can't get to Christ this glorious doctrine we preach the foundation of the gospel comes and tell you about somebody that will get to you you can't get to him he'll fall where you are he'll get to you you can't make it yourself he'll surrender right there in his everlasting arms he'll pick you up oh yes that's right bless God that's right this truth has a message for be condemned you ain't gonna do what you say if you get saved God must you're in prison you can get out quit drinking quit cussing give yourself a new heart and pass it by myself and pass it by myself I'm gonna say oh God have mercy and some lost people well you tackle them and it'll break your heart with God and all of that take every place except the sinner's place at the feet of God say of God I deserve nothing but hell if you will have mercy on me listen listen breathing in so
