• Life's Clock is wound but once!

  Another highlight of Winter Camp.  While we were fellowshipping after Friday's night service till the wee hour of 1-2 am of Saturday.  One Brother had on his heart to really share his testimony to a younger Brother.  He quoted Life's Clock partially and then went on (at that point I tracked it down on the net, but listened for the right opportunity to present it).  All throughout the testifying the Brother seemed to empahsize being pulled towards serving God.  Finally as things wound down I read the following:
  
  Life's Clock
  The clock of life is wound but once,
  And no man has the power
  To tell just where the hands will stop
  At late or early hour.
  
  

  To lose one's wealth is sad indeed: To lose one's health is more: To lose one's soul is such a loss As no man can restore.

  The present only is our own,
  Live, Love, toil with a will --
  Place no faith in 'tomorrow' --
  For the clock may then be still.

  We then concluded the night on that note. 
  

  Just before the ministers got up and testified.  Two Brothers sang this song. 

  At night I lay in bed
    and I begin to cry
  And my mind just fails
    to know exactly why
  I can't explain with tongue or pen
    the Spirit's groanings deep within
  It must be God here in my soul
    'cause I feel the pull

  
  Chorus
  I feel the pull, I hear the call
    and I know His Spirit's moving me
    to give my all
  He speaks to me and I agree
    Lord please come and take control
    I feel the pull

  
  I went to hear the Word
    and with each line and phrase
  He was drawing me to give
    a higher praise
  There's a deep call to the deep
    like a great magnet pulling me
  I know for sure I'll reach the goal
    'cause I feel the pull
  

  
  

  Which tied in perfectly with the older Brother.  Reflecting back, Saturday night's service was the capping meeting for the younger Brother.  It just seemed like what a lot of us talked to him about, God brought it all back across pulpit that night, starting from the last song "I feel the pull" to what the ministers spoke on.  The younger brother even brought his girl friend (who had never been in church).  He didn't show Sunday morning, but Saturday seemed to his day to hear from heaven.

  Oh I got a lot from that service too.  But clearly God was calling specific people.
