It is Not of Him That Wills
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
The Tune of Hymn to Use
“Simply trusting every day
Trusting through a stormy way,
Even when my faith is small
Trusting Jesus, that is all
Chorus
Trusting as the moment fly,
Trusting as the days go by
Trusting him whate’er be fall
Trusting Jesus, that is all”
The Composed Song
1. When the Cain and when Abel
They offer sacrifice ‘to God
Abel’s sacrifice God accept
That of Cain he does not accept
Chorus
It is not of those that will
Neither of him that runneth
If it is not for the Lord
He’s the God that showeth mercy
2. When Esau and when Jacob
Were yet in their mother’s womb
It is then that God said
That the elder ‘ll serve younger
Chorus
3. The male children they are twelve
That was begotten ‘to Jacob
But Joseph was the one God
Chose to become head ‘mong them
Chorus
4. Many lepers that there be
During days of Elisha the prophet
No one among them was healed
Except Naaman that Syrian
Chorus
5. It has been thirty-eight years
That an impotent has used
By a pool called Bethesda
He’s the only one Jesus healed
Chorus
6. It is not from east neither
From the west nor from the south
That promotion does come from
Except it is from the God
Chorus
7. The Lord is he that can kill
He’s he that can make alive
He is he that can make poor
And he’s he that can make rich
Chorus
8. He is the one that raiseth poor
Out up from among the dust
He’s the one lifting up beggar
He’l make them ‘herit throne of glory
Chorus
9. Therefore he hath saith that
I ‘ll have mercy ‘to who I ‘ll
I ‘ll have ‘mpassion unto those
That I ‘ll have compassion on
Chorus
