When I Thank Him For What He Has Done

When I Thank Him For What He Has Done
 

Someday I shall stand in God’s city 
To receive the bright treasures I’ve won 
But how can I ever accept them 
Til I thank Him for what He has done 

Chorus 
When I  thank Him for what He has done 
I must look back to the crucified one. 
On that beautiful shore, I must kneel once more 
just to thank Him for what He has done 

What gory as I stand and listen   

To the songs in that city beyond

But a tear in my must glisten

When I thank him for what he has done

They say there will be no more sighing 
In that city, when life’s race is run 
But how can I keep from crying 
When I thank Him for what He has done 

Before I can shout Hallelujah 
Before I can sing that sweet song 
I must kneel at the feet of Jesus 
And thank Him for what He has done 


Chorus x 2

On that beautiful shore, I must kneel once more 
Just to thank Him for what He has done

Prayer Bells of Heaven

Prayer Bells of Heaven

While we are living in this world of care
Many the burdens that we have to bear
but there's a prayer bell at the Lord's right hand
Give it a ring and He will understand

   Prayer bells of heaven oh how sweetly they ring
   bearing a message unto Jesus our king
   when you are burdened down with sorrows and care
   Ring on and on for God will answer your prayer

Three Hebrew children to the fire were thrown
because a worldly king they would not own
Jesus delivered and the king then saw
Prayer bells of heaven beat a man-made law

When Paul and Silas were thrown into jail
they didn't worry who would go their bail
but on the prayer bells they began to ring
off fell the stocks and they begin to sing

Into the garden Jesus went to pray
until His sweat became as blood they say
ringing the prayer bells there in agony
Bringing salvation that we might be free

Our last time living in Tateville, KY we had a church and some one set fire to the house below ours and it caught our house and the church. Our neighbors came and helped put out the fire which saved our house and church. God has took care of us all these years. God called Isaac home to Glory November 22, 1971.

Written my Rosa Maxey his wife. Memory book belonging to Shirley Mae Caudill.

      

The last sermon Rev. Isaac Randolph Maxey preached was at Rev. Herbert Cox church he spoke about how the Lord healed him of many things. He said that he was not afraid to die and if the Lord didn’t heal him of this sickness he would trust the Lord just the same. On November 21, 1971 Sunday evening Sister Bryant and Brother & Sister Beasley came down to pray with him and sang some songs. 

Brother Maxey helped Sister Beasley sing Prayer Bells of Heaven. Shirley got the guitar and it was out of tune so Brother Maxey laid the guitar on his chest and tuned it all but one string, Shirley said “I can play any how” but Brother Maxey said no it’s out of key and don’t sound right he told Shirley not to worry about him he was all right and he was going to where little Dora was our little girl who was already deceased.

Monday morning he said I heard bells and I said no it may be the stove you hear so he listened again and he said heard bells all over this house and he asked if Bill had come home yet and I said no. He was called home to Glory that day November 22, 1971.
