Mark 5:1-20

• [Mar 5:2] Sin, Like A Venomous Disease

  Sin, like a venomous disease, Infects our vital blood; The only balm is sovereign grace, And the physician, God. Our beauty and our strength are fled, And we draw near to death; But Christ the Lord recalls the dead With His almighty breath. Madness by nature reigns within, The passions burn and rage, Till God’s own Son, with skill divine, The inward fire assuage. We lick the dust, we grasp the wind, And solid good despise; Such is the folly of the mind, Till Jesus makes us wise. We give our souls the wounds they feel, We drink the poisonous gall, And rush with fury down to hell; But Heav’n prevents the fall. The man possessed among the tombs Cuts his own flesh, and cries; He foams and raves, till Jesus comes, And the foul spirit flies.

• [Mar 5:19] No Other Story

  No other story will bear repeating As often as this is told; God’s glad good news of His love to sinners Are tidings which never grow old. Refrain Tell it again and again, Tell it again and again, The Gospel story, of grace and glory, Bears telling again and again. Proclaim with joy how the cross of suff’ring Will never be borne again. That only glory awaits the Savior, That soon He will come to reign. Refrain Go tell the story in far off countries, Let ev’ry poor sinner hear How Christ the Savior has died to win them, His love overcomes all fear. Refrain The whole sweet story is not yet finished, The sequel is but begun; When all the ransomed are safely gathered, E’en then it will not be done. Refrain Each heart that opens to hear the tidings, Receiving the Savior’s love, Will add a page to redemption’s history Rehearsed in the Home above. Refrain
