A message came from heaven

A message came from heaven

To cheer my heart one day;

It set the joy-bells ringing,

And chased my gloom away.

‘Twas in the good old Bible,

John’s Gospel, chapter three,

Verse sixteen I discovered

Was written there for me.

That means me, that means me,

“Whosoever will believe, and that means me.

I am so very glad because the Savior said,

“Whosoever will believe,” and that means me.

I read the wondrous story

How God in heaven high,

So loved a world of sinners

He sent His Son to die;

And that word “Whosoever,”

Believing I could see,

Though meant for everybody,

Was mostly meant for me.
