An outreach to the city of New York, took place in 1999. Over
50,000 people had accepted the Lord during that period of
time.
A “God” Touch For New York
T’was still dark on the streets of the city
yet many horns would blare from discontent,
a trickle of His Spirit hardly noticed fell upon the land
where as yet not many knees to Him were bent.
People running to and fro as usual
not knowing this had been the day,
when God’s arrival in this city would change
the way that these New Yorker’s would want to play.
The drunkards and drug addicts
pimps and prostitutes to
Wall Street moguls as well as preachers would fall on their faces before Him asking Oh, Lord what must we all do to serve You?
Jesus’ hand now was outstretched to them
so freely His forgiveness came,
as many bars were closing and going out of business
for New Yorkers know that God had changed their game.
Now they too would join in Heaven’s choir
they would fill the Garden and be in one accord,
giving glory to Jesus for what He had started through
the Howard-Brownes and would continue on and on for the Lord.
You see, New York has become a bi-word for our country and the world
of what the grace of God can still do,
He’s still the same yesterday today and forever
and for this work, Oh God, we will all truly praise You!
