LORD,WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO."ACTS.9:6

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR HYMNS TITLED"REVIVE US AGAIN"IS WRITTEN BY WILLIAM.P.MACKAY:

AS A YOUNG MAN,MACKAY WAS NOT ONLY GODLESS,BUT ALSO HAD PLENTY OF BAD FRIENDS.HIS GROUP
WAS CALLED "THE HELL CLUB"AND HE WAS THE PRESIDENT.HIS MOTHER WAS A WOMAN OF FAITH WHO
PRAYED FERVENTLY AND UNCEASINGLY FOR HER SON. ONE DAY THE "HELL CLUB"CONDUCTED A MOCK
CELEBRATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER AT WHICH MACKAY OFFICIATED.AS HE RAISED HIS CUP TO SAY
,"BEHOLD THE BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST",HE WAS STRICKEN WITH FEAR AND COULD NOT PROCEED-
FURTHER.TO THE BEWILDERMENT OF HIS COMRADES,HE RAN STRAIGHT TO HIS HOME. MACKAY PLEADED
WITH HIS MOTHER TO FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE.SHE HELPED HIM ASK FORGIVENESS OF THE
LORD.THAT DAY HE GAVE HIMSELF WHOLLY TO THE LORD AND BECAME A CHRISTIAN.

God sure works in mysterious ways....
