There’s a gospel of today That says believe and you’ll be saved and then You can go to heaven and see the pearly gates And walk the golden streets; Words like these fail to treat All the vanity that is hidden in me.

But the gospel is to me The Triune God within humanity As the Spirit reaching me to be in me The one reality; Love untold—Gospel theme Never getting old—story told eternally.

Left the ninety-nine behind— You searched until the lost sheep You did find, Laid me on Your shoulders there, You bore me in Your tender loving care; Rejoicing—You found me Though a small lost sheep—You gave all to come find me.

Sweeping in my deepest parts, You lit a lamp and searched my inward heart, Sanctifying deep within You shined in me, Exposed me of my sin; Repenting—now I see Lord, You’re sprinkling me—with the blood You shed for me.

Eagerly awaiting me That I the slightest turn to Thee would make Though my life had been a wreck, You ran to me And fell upon my neck Kissing me, affectionately; Killed the calf for me—“Let us eat and be merry.”
This is the first time hearing the song on Hymnal.net and I just love it. I just feel like telling all the young people in the Church in NYC. This song has just brought me back to God's sweet will for us. People always feel the Bible only pertains to what was going on in that time it was return. But we, the Church, know that the Lord is moving today.
O LORD JESUS! Saints, stanza one says, "There's a gospel of today that says believe! And be saved!" It doesn't stop there because in the same stanza it says it "fails to treat all the vanity that is hidden in me". The first stanza is concerning Christianity today. But the second stanza is concerning the Lord's Recovery. Being the Triune God, all of God's fulness as the Spirit within us, reaching the saints, making His home in our hearts, and spreading into our souls and very being. Becoming "the one reality". Experiencing His love untold.
The lyrics of this song are so true. For a long time this is the Gospel I believed and tried so HARD to be excited about it. All the preachers were excited, but I felt so left out. Then I realize this is PART of the Gospel. The Gospel is God becoming man to save me, then becoming the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor 15:45) to enter into me and give me all He accomplished on Calvary and His divine life!
I like this song. I am so happy that I made it as a young person in the Lord's recovery. At school, there are too many unbelievers. We need to preach that THERE'S A GOSPEL TODAY.
This song is one of my favorites because no matter what my day or my life has been like He is always eagerly awaiting. I'm 18 and I was the only one at my school who was in the church life and I felt blessed. I look at the lives of my friends and classmates around me and I'm always thankful that i made it.

This song was the first song I ever sang when I got into the church life, and the song that saved me.
