Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted,
Now, the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone.
Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted,
Now, the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone.
All in all forever,
Only Christ I’ll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.
Only Christ I’ll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

Once ’twas painful trying,
Now ’tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation,
Now the uttermost;
Once ’twas ceaseless holding,
Now He holds me fast;
Once ’twas constant drifting,
Now my anchor’s cast.
Now ’tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation,

Once ’twas busy planning,
Now ’tis trustful prayer;
Once ’twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once ’twas what I wanted,
Now what Jesus says;
Once ’twas constant asking,
Now ’tis ceaseless praise.
Now ’tis trustful prayer;
Once ’twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once ’twas what I wanted,

Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me;
Once the pow’r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored,
Now for Him alone.
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me;
Once the pow’r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored,
Now for Him alone.

Once I hoped in Jesus,
Now I know He’s mine;
Once my lamps were dying,
Now they brightly shine;
Once for death I waited,
Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil.
Now I know He’s mine;
Once my lamps were dying,
Now they brightly shine;
Once for death I waited,
Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil.

A. B. Simpson (1843-1919), founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance was one who practiced being one with the Lord. He once wrote;
“I wish to speak to you about Jesus, and Jesus only. I often hear people say, ‘I wish I could get hold of Divine healing. ’ I thank God we have been taught it is not the blessing; it is not the healing; it is not the sanctification; it is not the thing; it is not the ‘IT’ that you want but it is something better. It is ‘The Christ’; it is Himself; it is the person of Christ we want. It is the way to look at the Scriptures and understand the thoughts of God; to see Him in the face of love, shining through and through; not ideas of doctrine but Jesus Himself as the life and source and sustaining Presence all our life. I am no good unless I get alone with God.”
William Mc Arthur writes concerning A. B. Simpson: "His practice was to hush his spirit and literary cease to think. Then in the silence of his soul, he listened to that still small voice of God.”
