A refreshing song.

May God give us Grace to follow Him to the end in Jesus Name Amen. Oh Lord speak and make us to listen, Thou guardian of our souls. Thanks for uploading this song and God bless you all. All blessings.

A very refreshing hymn.
Lord, let me see thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own.
Help me walk with thee to the end my Savior and my Friend.
Lilongwe, Malawi
Singing this song recently, the discernment that Jesus, the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, Holy of Holies, is the Guardian of my soul got me so profoundly humbled. And then the truth of the opposite scenario hit me: what a terrifying jungle it must be to have Satan as the guardian of one's unsaved soul!
I love You Lord, Amen. Be my keeper for ever.
Essien Udim, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria
O Jesus, Thank You for Your kind assurances that You will always be with me and my family till the end of time. Yes, You are always with us, Amen.
London, England, United Kingdom
As we have promised to serve God to the end, may we not look back in Jesus Name. The grace to follow to the end, we receive in Jesus Name. Please Jesus draw Thou nearer and shield our souls from sins in Jesus Name. Thanks for uploading this song and God bless you all. Shalom!!!
Lilongwe, Malawi
I can't do everything on my own. Oh give me grace to follow!
Abuja, Nigeria
Jesus remains my Master and my Guide, my Shield, The Guardian of my soul, my Saviour and Friend. He is my everything !!!!!!!!
