“I Have Never Lost the Wonder of It All”
by Lifting up the Standard   
October 28th, 2013

In the latter years of his life, someone said to Gipsy Smith: "Gypsy, I heard you preach over fifty years ago, you blessed my heart then. I have never forgotten it, but again tonight, how my heart was warmed and thrilled! Gypsy, tell me--what's the secret?"

Gypsy answered, "Sir, I have never lost the wonder of it all."

Years later, the songwriter, Alfred B. Smith, wrote a song based on this story entitled "I Have Never Lost the Wonder of It All":

“Once so aimlessly I wondered round the tangled paths of sin. All about me seemed so hopeless, Doubts and fears without, within. Then a voice so kind and gentle, Spoke sweet peace unto my soul. Gone my days of sin and wandering, Since the Savior made me whole.

Now my life is full of gladness, All my days are filled with joy. I no longer walk in sadness, Happy songs my lips employ. For I've learned the wondrous secret Only those in Christ can know.'Tis the peace of sins forgiven--Joy that makes my glad heart glow. I have never lost the wonder of it all.

I have never lost the wonder of it all! Since the day that Jesus saved me and a whole new life He gave me, I have never lost the wonder of it all!
