Jesus’ Promise
This song is based on my
memory of how sweet the promise of Jesus came to me in my 1972 Ford pickup
as I called out to him to save my lost soul. Gene Brush and Lester
Glassel had showed me Romans 10:13 the night before, along with some other
passages. But I remembered the one about whosoever calling upon the
name of Jesus will be saved.
This song was an
experiment for me in that I used somebody else’s tune. This tune is
based on Lorena from the Civil War period. I also heard it used in
John Wayne films. I have thought of changing the melody, and finally
did so.
