SINNERS POUR OUT LOVE FOR THEIR SAVIOR

Leonard Ravenhill tells of going to a worship service at David Wilkerson’s skid-row mission in New York City. There he stood with former prostitutes and drunks and drug addicts and he said a short little man stood up and said, "Let's sing our national anthem." They all stood and sang their national anthem, with tears in their eyes, they sang it. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me." And there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Why? They were people who knew they were sinners. Why does this woman pour out such love on her Savior? She knew she was a sinner.
