Famous Leonard Ravenhill Quotes

“The Glory Yet to Be God called to us, His people To be His holy bride From out the rest of living souls He calls us to His side The way He calls is rugged Steep The way He knows We are His sheep By grand design, He has the goals His love leads to the waterholes Gives us this day our daily bread And hitherto, He's always led Though dark the way The path is steep He drives the wolves from us, His sheep At times the clouds obscure His face But, bless His name, supplies of grace Can fortify against every shock His wisdom plans for all the flock Just now the skies seemed solid brass For not, just think It came to pass The furnace, seven times hotter be My grace sufficient is for thee Your soul is riding out the gail Your courage falters, and the tale Is not yet told, but brighter gold Comes from this long hostility As Jesus calls, look unto Me I've planned for thee eternal days I've planned for thee a thousand ways I went through my Gethsemany Will you, my child, bear this for Me? My back was stripped--I bore the rod Will bear this for Me, your God? I plan for thee a jeweled crown Will you go through, or let me down? Can you bear up a few more years Or will you cause your master tears? While Joseph's brothers made a pile Joseph suffered for a while That while did not seem a lengthy season With no design, no rhyme or reason The brothers did not care a bit That Joseph languished in a pit They showed no sorrow for his plight They cared not for the wrong or right But, God was there, behind the cloud He does not shout His plan aloud The path through pit and prison led For Joseph to the nation's head Not then did Joseph weep or groan Each step was leading to a throne The starving brothers soon behold A ruler with a chain of gold They wept, and each his breast did smite Before one sold to Ishmalite Their brother, with the power of death Each man fell down with baited breath Forgiving, Joseph understood Yee meant for evil, God meant for good He did not leave me, or forsake He knew each step I had to take My shepherd, led by pastures green No other way could there have been For me, I proved that He is God Endured the dark, and kissed the rod Take this example from His word And follow on to know the Lord Now, through darksome glass we see But oh, the glory yet to be”

“Oh, Wonder of Wonders Oh, wonder of wonders My God, can it be That Jesus has died For one rebel like me He lifted my bondage And soul's misery The Lord, King of glory Was wounded for me They led Him to trial They spit in His face He bore it alone Oh, amazing His grace He bowed neath his burden Was scourged in my place I'll sing it forever Amazing His grace With hands full of mercy With hearts full of good My spotless Redeemer Was nailed to the wood He suffered Hell's torment My soul to set free Deserted by God As He hung on the tree He died, but he rose He extracted death's sting He is living enthroned My savior, my king Let the earth hear His voice Men and angels proclaim 'He's coming! He's coming!' He's coming again With the saints marching in I shall be at that throne In the great 'hallelujahs' I'll join in that song With apostles and prophets My best, Lord with thee I shall live! I shall live! Eternally”

“I'm Resting in the Lord I must be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease Let others fight to win the prize And passel on their knees I cannot fight, but I must rein In heaven's blessed abode I'm glad that some enjoy the pain I'm resting in the Lord There are no foes to face My pastor is so good He says, "Just draw on saving grace. "And love the brotherhood." I am a soldier for Christ Unfaithful though I am I pay my tithes for His own cause But blush to speak His name I'm sure on that day of rewards He'll give me some small prize And so my gracious, loving Lord Will wipe tears from my eyes”

“The Revival Song Lord, we are hungry for blessing This is in tune with thy word Now is our need we're confessing Give us new hearts, cleansed and stirred Great is the need of our nations Great is the need of this hour Lord, we abhor our stagnation Answer with Holy Ghost power Look on our great desperation Hold back thy judgment, we pray Move through the length of our nation Open thy windows today Lord, fill the church with thy spirit Lord, save our nation, we pray Quicken our love and our zeal And send us revival today”

“We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.”

“The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.”
