I am an Old Violin...

YouTube - ‪"Touch Of The Masters Hand" By JD Sumner (FULL)‬‏



I was watching some old videos by my favorite Bass singer, JD Sumner, who has already gone on to be with the Lord, and I came across this one. I hadn't seen it in quite a while, but I still love it.

I love it because I am just like that old violin; worthless, dirty, scarred, warped, out of tune...but then I met the Master, I met He that created me with love..He that built me for a purpose... and I like the crowd realized that the worth lies not in the creation, but in the Creator.

As the Master played that violin and the violin's purpose and beauty came shining forth... I realize that without Him, we aren't worth a dime, but if we let him work through us... our life becomes worth so much more.

I am still just an old violin, but the changes that have been wrought in this old instrument gave my life new meaning and greater worth.

I love My Master, and He loves me... Oh the love He shows to one so unworthy of His love. Oh the pain and suffering He bore for me... Never could I repay Him nor comprehend the depth of his love...

I am just thankful that He had mercy to save a wretch like me, it brings to my rememberance the lyrics of a song I have loved since childhood..

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound..that saved, a wretch, like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind, but now, I see.

'Twas Grace, that taught my heart to fear, and Grace, my fears relieved;
How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed!

Thru many dangers toils and snares, I have already come;
Tis Grace hath bro't me safe thus far, and Grace will lead me home.

When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's Praise than when we first begun.

My Master's touch is Grace, and by His Grace I live. In His Grace, I'll die.

His Grace has won the Victory.

I am not worthy, as Paul was, to say that I have fought a good fight, but I can say that I've been in one! lol
