Thanks for the Memory

Jesus

"Jesus said ‘Do this in remembrance of me.’
Thanks dear Lord for that memory
and all the memories you gave to me."

Don Husted, Sr.







Thanks for the memory,
Of the night you came to me
And said "Now son, I’ve set you free!"
Now my life won’t count as loss
‘Cause you gave yours upon the cross.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the memory
Of your wonderful Resurrection
Because it guaranteed my election.
My faith in you will never be lost
As on the sea of life I'm tossed
For you always calm the roughest sea
And from the storm you rescue me
Thank you so much!

Thanks for the memory
As we eat the bread and drink the wine
You gave your life so I’d have mine.
And one memory stands out above all the rest
My sins are cast away as far as East is from the West.
Thank you so much!

Thanks for the memory
Of what you tell us in your Holy Word
We’re to spread the news to those who have not heard.
That wherever on this earth you trod
Jesus is the Christ, the only Son of God!
To remind you the only place Salvation can start
Is when you ask Jesus to come into your heart.
And once He dwells within, you’re forgiven of every sin
Then you too will remember His virgin birth
How He lived a sinless life here on earth
And that He died for the likes of you and me
Then you too will say
"THANKS FOR THE MEMORY!"
