I’ve seen the lightning flashing

E688
1
I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
  And heard the thunder roll;
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
  Trying to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,
  Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.
 
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
  No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
    Never to leave me alone.
2
The world’s fierce winds are blowing,
  Temptations are sharp and keen;
I feel a peace in knowing
  My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger,
  When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.
3
When in affliction’s valley,
  I’m treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
  My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet entangled with briars,
  Ready to cast me down;
My Savior whispered His promise,
  Never to leave me alone.
4
He died for me on the mountain,
  For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
  The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
  Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

Greetings my brothers and sisters. A blessed "ASSURANCE"; He promised never to leave us. Let us all rest in this promise; knowing, that our Savior is not a man that, HE should lie. "NO NEVER ALONG".

Shalom. 💜

The scripture and there are a few, where God promised never to leave nor forsake us came to my mind this morning. In this current state of lockdown and isolation I was comforted by this reminder. Then I remembered the song. 'He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone'. We can personalise this truth we are never alone. The Holy Spirit is always with us. I am blessed by this song too. Thank you Jesus.

I found myself singing this song for some strange reason. The words are so powerful and heart felt. Truly He promised never to leave me never leave me alone.

This was one my mother’s favourite hymns singing it this morning brings back her face to my vision. Thank you Ludie Day Pickett

As I sit here in my favorite meeting place, I have found myself in a very low place. I believe there is a spiritual attack on my soul. I know the enemy desires to sift me like wheat, BUT my God has lifted up a standard against him. This hymn flooded my mind. As I looked up the lyrics and began to recite them I felt such peace. I have peace that He has sent to me through this powerful hymn. God's Word tells up to lift up psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. His Word always does what He sends it to do. I soooooo much thank the author for this powerful hymn!!!

First Time I heard this song in 'May 2020' by pastor Johnson (Bethel AG church) during his daily online worship. It's really heart ❤️ touching. Especially during this Covid-19 lockdown, it gives lot of hope. Praise be to God almighty.
