He is not a disappointment!
NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT “There failed not ought of any good things which the Lord has spoken”. Jos. 21:45
1.
He is not a disappointment!
Jesus is far more to me
Than in all my glowing daydreams
I had fancied He could be;
And the more I get to know Him,
So the more I find Him true,
And the more I long that others
Should be led to know Him too.
2.
He is not a disappointment!
He has saved my soul from sin;
All the guilt and all the anguish
Which oppressed my heart within,
He has banished by His presence,
And His blessed kiss of peace
Has assured my heart for ever
That His love will never cease.
3.
He is not a disappointment!
He has healed my body too
What a tender, mighty Saviour
There is naught He cannot do
When on earth He healed diseases
As they touched Him in the throng
Has He lost His heart of pity?
Is the risen Christ less strong?
4.
He is not a disappointment!
He is coming by and by
In my heart I have the witness
That His coming draweth nigh
All the scoffers may despise me
And no change around may see
But He, tells me He is coming
And that’s quite enough for me
5.
He is not a disappointment!
He is all in all to me—
Savior, Sanctifier, Keeper;
The unchanging Christ is He!
He has won my heart’s affections,
And He meets my ev’ry need;
He is not a disappointment,
For He satisfies indeed.
Amen
