I am so glad that I won't be judged by man, for if I was to be judged by man....then I am already condemned and without an offer of mercy. The Masters Hand reached down and pulled me out of the pits of hell and loved me just as I am, because I called out to Him.
I heard this as a song when I was 12 years of age. We were sitting around a bonfire at night and this womas got out a guitar and started to sing. At 12 years old you could imagine that not much of us were listening. I heard the words and felt them too. I began to cry and i didnt care who seen me. I have remember this poem and song for 24 years now and it still toches me as it did the first time.
@BassoNero It started as a poem. And has been most commonly used as a recitation such as this. I have only heard Wayne Watson ever do it as an actual song.
I too, am tearing up as I type this comment. If it were not for the Master's hand, I would not be sitting here watching this video. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 K.J.V. Thank you Jesus for saving this wretched soul and guaranteeing me eternal life with you in heaven. AMEN & AMEN!!
@cbarkertw hey bud, has anyone come back to you and talked to you about your comment? Where are you at these days bud? What does Jesus mean to you today?
@cbarkertw ~ Jesus turns away no one, not even the vilest sinner. Come to Him and humbly confess your sin and let Him come into your heart to live forever as your personal Lord & Savior. If you have any questions, please send me a personal message and I will assist you in anyway possible.
@cbarkertw It doesnt matter where you are, I was also that man too. God sent Jesus Christ to cover all ours sins freely giving up His life, for the world, friend, it sounds like from your statement you want to know Him, It starts with knowing your a sinner, and I believe you do, Ask God to forgive you today and thenask Jesus to come into your life tell him you accept Him into your life, and that you beleive He died and rose again for you, and trust in Him today, And then read the Bible daily
@cbarkertw Bro I hope you get this, I had done everything I could to get away from God, but let me tell you, you are never to far away that if you will only ask He will come get you.
Tommy Hunter read this poem at least once a year on his old TV show here in Canada -- almost always accompanied by the great violin player Al Cherney. Always moving to hear it no matter who recites it.
There is no voice like yours John. We were blessed with the gift God gave you But just like the ol Violin you to are now being held and played in the masters Hand. Love you Uncle JD.

I don't think I've every heard JD speak so long at one time. But he gave that poem a deeper meaning.
