3/19/04: Arminian Grace
The following was posted to our channel and on a web board, so hopefully Dennis will not mind my posting it here, too. It seems relevant to the recent discussion of Dave Hunt's preaching.



Arminian grace! How strange the sound

Salvation hinged on ME

I once was lost then turned around

Was blind then chose to see




What "grace" is it that calls for choice

Out of some good within?

The part that willed to heed God's voice

Proved stronger than my sin




Through many ardent gospel pleas

I sat with heart of stone

But then some hidden good in me

Propelled me toward my home




When we've been there ten thousand years

Because of what we've done

We've no less days to sing our praise

Than when we first begun



- Dennis Walter Cochran

Here's my version


Prevenient Grace (Amazing Grace by John Newton)

Prevenient Grace,
How sweet the sound
That enabled a prince like me
I once was lost, but I came around
Was blind, yet still I see.

And another classic...

I Cleansed Me from Sin (Revive Us Again)

I praise You, O God!
For giving Me hope,
For Jesus Who died,
And left me the soap.

Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
I Cleansed me from sin.

We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
With prevenient eyesight

Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
I Cleansed me from sin.

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
Yet I scrubbed every stain.

Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
I Cleansed me from sin.

Some glory and praise
To the God in my mind,
Who hast brought me, but taught me,
To scrub my be-hind.

Hallelujah! Mine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Mine the glory.

Dear FT,

I think this violates the RF rule about blatantly, intentionally offensive threads.

I would recommend that you request it be taken down.
