I MET THE MASTER

(words printed below)

I had walked life's way with an easy tread,
Had followed where comfort and pleasures led.
Until one day in a quiet place
I met the Master face to face.

With station and rank and wealth for my goal,
Much thought for my body but none for my soul,
I had entered to win in life's mad race,
When I met the Master face to face.

I met Him, and knew Him and blushed to see
That His eyes full of sorrow were fixed on me;
And I faltered and fell at His feet that day,
While my castles melted and vanished away.

Melted and vanished and in their place
Naught else did I see but the Master's face.
And I cried aloud, "Oh, make me meet
To follow the steps of Thy wounded feet."

My thought is now for the souls of men,
I have lost my life to find it again,
E'er since one day in a quiet place
I met the Master face to face.

"My Tribute"

How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me.
Things so undeserved, yet You give to prove Your love to me?
The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.

To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me.
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.

Just let me live my life,
Let it be pleasing, Lord, to Thee,
And should I gain any praise,
Let it go to Calvary.

With His blood He has saved me,
With His power He has raised me.
To God be the glory
For the things He has done.
