You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase

English448

You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase,
And have earnestly, fervently prayed;
But you cannot have rest, or be perfectly blest,
Until all on the altar is laid.

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?
Your heart, does the Spirit control?
You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest,
As you yield Him your body and soul.

Would you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
And have peace and contentment alway;
You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill;
On the altar your all you must lay.

Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow
Of the blessings for which we have prayed,
Till our body and soul He doth fully control,
And our all on the altar is laid.

Who can tell all the love He will send from above!
Oh, how happy our heart will be made!
Oh, what fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet,
When our all on the altar is laid!

This song reminds me of when Abraham was called to bring Isaac as a sacrifice to God... Abraham and Sarah had been waiting for so long to have a child, yet when God asked for Isaac back, Abraham did not hesitate to obey God’s word. He laid everything on the altar before God, because he realized that not even his son truly belonged to him; only after he did this, he was blessed. How sweet is it that God paid the same price! Thank You, God, for sacrificing everything You had to purchase us. We love You, Lord Jesus!

This song brought a review of my life today as Bro Gbile Akanni raised it after one of his message I listened to - "The Making of His Battle Axe". Lord, help me to be resolute to make myself sacrificially available, that Your divine willingness may have its course in me.

It’s 3am and this song’s chorus stuck in my mind. I was troubled 😟. The words, I didn’t know, I just remember hearing it growing up from a child. But when I read them the song resonated. My spirit was a bit at ease. I’m glad I found the lyrics. Thanks 🙏🏽

This song has always been a blessing. I was singing it this morning as it’s just so in my spirit but knew one verse and chorus so dead led to look up the lyrics. Thanks for making it possible. Believe I’ll be speaking on this soon! The Lord my God be glorified.

Considering the cross, may we sing, "you can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest, because all on the altar He laid."

This song came to me as I was talking to God in prayer this morning, I didn’t know all the lyrics so I did a google search and here they are. The words really ministered to my soul. Thank you Google for this site, I’m so grateful. ❤️
