Himself

I have been pondering the wonderful song written in the early 1900's by A.B. Simpson.
"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.
Once was painful trying, Now is perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost! Once wa ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; Once was constant drifting, Now my anchor's cast.
Once was busy planning, Now is trustful prayer; Once was anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once was what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once was constant asking Now is ceaseless praise.
Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me; Once the power 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"

It is a testament to the ongoing work of Christ through the years and centuries. It is so true to me the "Jesus never changes"
Life and lifestyle changes but the word and work of the Lord is unchanging.
