I thought I'd put this in the "discussion" part. I'm one of those for whom finding out that Adventism was wrong was a complete surprise. I wasn't looking to see if Adventism was true or false, because having been raised an Adventist, I was certain it was the ONE TRUE CHURCH. But now, because someone was fasting and praying for me and God's ongoing miracles in my life, I'm so glad that, as this song says: "though I wasn't looking, You were after me."

It's called: "Who is like the Lord?"

How about the rest of you? Do you have any songs with special significance to you, now that God has rescued you?

A song that has really spoken to me, that I sing often in my head now is this one:


Thank God I Am Free

Verse 1
For a long time I travelled
Down a long lonely road;
My heart was so heavy in sin I sank low.
Then I heard about Jesus,
What a wonderful hour;
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Through His saving power.

Chorus:
Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin.
I've been washed in the blood of Jesus,
I’ve been born again.
(a capella)Hallelujah, I’m saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace.
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
And show me the way.

Verse 2
Like a bird out of prison
That has taken its flight;
Like a blind man that God
Gave back his sight.
Like a poor wretched beggar
That’s found fortune and fame,
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Thro’ His holy name.

I used to hear various SDA groups singing this song and I really liked it back then. But since leaving sdaism, it now holds a new and better meaning. I love it.

Here's an example of it on Youtube:

I have to put up another song. Along with the one I mentioned above--these two are my favourites. Between these two songs, they have the most 'air time' in my head while at work, or walking outside or whatever:

Down at the Cross/Glory to his Name

Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my sin was the blood applied; Glory to His name!
Chorus:
Glory to His name,
Glory to His name;
There to my sin was the blood applied;
Glory to His name!

I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His name.

Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His name.

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet;
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior's feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His name.
