How I was Saved Perfect love casteth out fear - 1 John 4:18 My father was never truly proud or happy about me, until few years back, when he was on his death bed, he witnessed me giving my life to Jesus. He died with the hope that He will see me when Jesus comes. How can I let my father down? And more than that, how can I let my Christ down? Born in an Adventist family in Lowry Campus in Bangalore, a third generation Seventh-day Adventist. Though I knew Christ, I did not know His love; seldom heard from anybody in the family or in the church. The love of pleasure and the world was all that I knew. I had not accepted Christ as my personal Saviour, there was nothing in me to restrain me from sin. Sin drizzled in this dry soul, it seemed to be satisfying, but I soon realised I was flooded with it; oh how heavy was that burden, filled with so much fear and guilt. I even got baptised when I was in 11th grade, yet had not known His love. Of all sins, it was Sabbath breaking that caused great guilt to me, although I never truly kept the Sabbath holy all through my life; when I started working on Sabbath, I felt I had gone too far. It was during this stage of my life, my father was diagnosed of Cancer; we did all that we could to save him, but all was in vain. My father was not a perfect man, yet he loved me, and I loved him too. I couldn’t be separated from him. I was one day at work, and at noon, my brother called me. He had taken my father to Manipal Hospital, where the doctor said that my father would die in two months. This was the first time my life was stopped by God. My life was like a snow ball, rolling down the mountain, and I could never stop it, it was like a fast moving train which had no brakes and I just could not stop. Although I was tired of running, and though I needed rest, I couldn’t stop. But the Lord stopped. For the first time, I could see life. Oh! I wish I could see life everyday like that. I went home; I did not know how to face my father, mother and brother. I am the elder son, and they looked to me for help, oh how helpless I felt that day, words cannot say. If I truly loved my father, I could not let him die. I sat on the couch, leaned back my head, first time ever in my life I realized how helpless I was. In all that turbulence, I heard a voice, a soft voice of an angel, for the first time in my life (not a literal voice). The Lord said, you have tried enough, why don’t you give your life to Me. I immediately told my family, that should give our lives to God before we do anything more. The Spirit of the Lord took control of me, and I mourned like Hannah. I knew I was at the very throne of grace, at the feet of Christ. I was touched, and I knew for sure that it was the hand of God. I stopped running for the first time. I knew my sins were forgiven; for it was a new beginning, it was the first day of my spiritual life. Though my father lived a worldly life, towards the end of his life, even before he was diagnosed of Cancer, the Lord was striving with him, however, it was after the sickness was diagnosed, that my father strived harder to receive the love of God. He repented from all his sins and he received the hope of eternal life. His next concern was about us. One day he was laying on his sickbed with so much pain, sinking day by day. I was alone with him and I knelt near him and started crying to God. I wept and fought with God. It was a long cry, and at the end of the prayer my father told me something that he had never told me in my life. He said, “no one has ever prayed for me like this.” I saw his eyes filled with tears, but with joy, because he knew that the Lord had saved his elder son, Richard Daniel J. Oh! How wonderful the Lord is. Though Samson wasted his life, but when he repented at the end of his life, He still gave his strength back, and gave him that spiritual joy before his death. Though my father had no spiritual joy throughout his life, at the very end, my conversion gave him so much joy. What more can a father ask for; he could die with peace, trusting that I would lead my mother and my brother to Christ. He died without fear, for perfect love casteth out all fear. When my Father was dying, he could not preach, nor could he sing, but I saw him truly repent with all his heart. He asked forgiveness from all; he begged to be forgiven. Oh! What repentance that was, the greatest sermon my father ever preached, and it was the most melodious song he ever sang. It still rings in my heart, and I pray that it will ring until the end, until the coming of Christ. Dear friend, it’s enough, you are tired, He can give you a new beginning. Go down on your knees wherever you are and cry to Him, that is all I did and that’s all you need to do to be saved in the kingdom of God. Regards, Richard Daniel
LOVE this version ❤❤❤❤ please can I get a karaoke backing for this version so my kids can sing it at a Christian music festival here in New Zealand? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
When I think about miracles my mind often runs to the “big things”. But don’t get it twisted. I was lost and spiraling in sin. It’s a miracle that I was dead but now I live. There’s nothing to conjure. This song has been marked by God. I'm honored that he chose me to bring this message. Enjoy daily and share with those who need to restore that joy of salvation they once had." - Majesty

Lyrics: All my words fall short I’ve got nothing new How could I express All my gratitude I could sing these songs As I often do But every song must end And You never do So I’ll throw up my hands And praise You again and again ‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah And I know it’s not much But I’ve nothing else fit for a king Except for a heart singing hallelujah Hallelujah I’ve got one response I’ve got just one move With my arms stretched wide I will worship You Come on my soul Oh don’t you get shy on me Lift up your song ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs Get up and praise the Lord
