I knew a man and he had plenty Placed it in great barns to store Told his soul to take it easy Saying you need nothing more Proudly he assessed his riches Full of self sufficiency But by the dawn the Lord had spoken They say thy soul is required of thee What doth it profit a man if he gained the whole world And lose his own soul For what could he give in exchange for his soul? But blessed of what measure is he whose God is the Lord And trusting his word like a tree planted by the river of life he shall be I knew man and he had plenty Young and very rich was he Asked the Lord one day to tell him How to live for eternity You must keep the Ten Commandments Keep them I say perfectly Then give your wealth unto the poor and take up your cross and come follow me What doth it profit a man if he gained the whole world And lose his own soul For what could he give in exchange for his soul? But blessed of what measure is he whose God is the Lord And trusting his word like a tree planted by the river of life he shall be I knew a man and he had plenty The whole universe he made Then from Love He came from Heaven to a manger cold was laid He was born to be the savior Heaven’s glories he denied Bore a cross to calvary and there for our sins he was crucified What doth it profit a man if he gained the whole world And lose his own soul.For what could he give in exchange for his soul?But blessed of what measure is he whose God is the Lord And trusting his word like a tree planted by the river of life he shall be Like tree planted by the river of life he shall be Like a tree planted by the river of life he shall be And trusting his word like a tree planted by the river of life he shall be
You are one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen Joni with such strength & grace ... I have learnt so much from you & have learnt to appreciate all of my blessings in this life ... All of my Love & Blessings from Australia xxx 💞🕊️💞
Joni was a truly beautiful young Christian lady, with an engaging voice. I keep returning to watch this wonderful clip and I thank her for the spiritual joy it brings me. She is still very spiritually beautiful.
One of the most influential songs I heard on Family Radio while training at Mather Air Force base in Rancho Cordoba. I most strongly considered my fate before the Lord on Judgement Day and how desperate I was to know Jesus as my Savior.
Same here. Just found my cd in storage that he sent me - was itching to hear this again. Then, just now, I gambled, because I was never able to find it on youtube - and found it instantly! What a blessing. Such a perfect song.
I am so glad I finally found this song! I, as several others, loved hearing this song on Family Radio from way back. Family Radio now is so repetitive it's a shame and they no longer play the old, old hymns they used to.
Same here. I was a kid in the 80s, and my parents listened to Family Radio 24/7 ... Life with meaning was the tag phrase. I was always intrigued by this song. So glad I found it, So soothing and holy. Amen everyone! God Bless you all!
lyrics- Father, set my soul sailing Like a cloud upon the wind☁, Free and strong to carry on Until the journey's end. Each mile I put between the past And the future in Your hand, I learn more of Your providence And I find out who I am. I want to thank You for the gift of Your Son, And for the mystery of prayer, And for the faith to doubt and yet believe That You're really there. The mysteries of Your Word are the questions of my days. I search them now to understand the wisdom of Your ways. Jesus walks before me and clearly walks the path To guide me to the Father and to peace at last. I want to thank You for the gift of Your Son, And for the mystery of prayer, And for the faith to doubt and yet believe That You're really there. Yes You're really there.
I listened to the original song by Billy and Sarah Gaines and I hear "more certain than the things we see or than our feelings seem to SAY" not "and THEN our our feelings seem to fade".
