The Old 3:16We are on a one-track train,It's numbered
3:16;
Jesus is the Engineer,And He runs a "mean machine."
He takes it up and down the hills,And around the
sharpest curves;
He regulates the speed just right,It never even
swerves.
He takes this train through valleys deep,As prudently
He steers;
We're blessed He's at the throttle, folks,And is Chief
Engineer.
When this train climbs mountain peaks,That nearly
touch the sky......
He blows its whistle loud and clear,No need to
question why.
The Christian Train spans prairies, too,And when
smoothly gliding 'cross;
We settle back......enjoy the view,Knowing Jesus is
the Boss.
Sometimes stormy clouds appear,And fog is all about
us;
But Jesus keeps us right on track,No reason to reroute
us.
The 3:16 is local, folks,It stops in every town;Anyone
can hop on board,
This train is Heaven bound.Passengers can leave the
train,
Whenever they so choose;But why get off the
3:16,There's just too much to lose.
So keep your ticket in your hand,Wave to the Engineer;
He'll get you to the promise land,His destination's
clear!~~~Virginia Ellis
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life."
