Gladly Would I Leave Behind Me (Valerie Elliot-Shepard Story) - Proclamation Youth Choir
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Proclamation Youth Choir is an outreach ministry of Crosspoint Fellowship in Diamond, MO. and serves families across the 4-State area. PYC seeks to ignite the next generation with a love for singing and proclaiming the salvation of our God and we believe this must first begin in the heart & mind. This is why we consistently intertwine the teaching of theology with music. We hope to see a revival of robust congregational singing in our local churches, fueled by a greater knowledge of the Word.
This is a video taken from our April 2021 concert, "Let The Nations Be Glad", centered around the theme of missions. (Video credit to Korey Klein Studios in Joplin, MO.) Special thanks to Valerie Elliot-Shepard for sharing her story and the legacy of her parents, Jim & Elisabeth Elliot. Find out more at elisabethelliot.org.

"Gladly Would I Leave Behind Me" Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Gladly would I leave behind me
All the pleasure I have known
To pursue surpassing treasures
At the throne of God the Son
Worthy of unending worship
Love and loveliness is He
By His precious death were millions
From the jaws of death set free
VERSE 2
Gladly would I give to Jesus
All affection, everything
For the washing of His mercy
Makes my ransomed heart to sing
“Holy, holy!” is the chorus
Rising up from those who see
Christ exalted, bright and burning
Full of pow’r and purity
CHORUS
Where else can I go?
Jesus, You’re the One
That I was made to know
What else can I do?
Jesus, You’re my all
I gladly run to You
VERSE 3
Gladly would I flee temptations
For their troubles fill my life
Turn and seek my God and Savior
For His goodness satisfies
Earthly treasures, all are passing
Thieves break in and rust destroys
But in God are awesome splendor
Love, and everlasting joys
TAG
Gladly would I give to Jesus
All affection, everything
For the washing of His mercy
Makes my ransomed heart to sing

Thank you! In 1995? I had the privilege to attend Elizabeth Elliott event in Toronto. I was downcast estranged and abandoned by my husband with a small child.. feeling forsaken and so sorry for my self. I asked a friend (who is now my husband)for a car ride to this event. God in His awesome Grace was convicting me and resoring /healing me and taking care of me. Looking back 26 years later i am married to a wonderful godly man for 25 years 4 children. And serving my saviour! Unworthy as i sometimes feel. HE IS my strength my refuge

Beautiful choir!
I can’t wait til the next book comes out after Devotedly. I read there is another one on the way!
How could his story of love for Christ ever have had such impact on the world without his wife?
The background music isa very distracting.
Well.....
I am so wanting to hear your words, but the music is too LOUD and distracting.
The music is so annoying. Would love to hear this without the music.
