The Good Doctor - Mlj
The good doctor as MLJ was better known
trained and qualified as a Medical Doctor
membership of Royal College of Physicians
Sir Thomas Howdens assistant now did see
God for two years drew him out
to be a preacher of the gospel
began in his native land of Wales
calling sinners out of their prison cell
I became a believer in 1982
MLJ passed away to glory in '81
so never had an opportunity to see him
but read much to teach me how I grew
So listened to many of his sermons
read his life story, gave much to excite
how God used him in London city
Westminster Chapel to pastor by God's might
Even yet love to read his writings
such a depth but so very plain
clearly proclaiming God's authoritative word
so to receive the Lord's blessed rain
MLJ was a expositer bar none
many thousand would go to hear
so Dr. Lloyd-Jones is my favorite doc
for his preaching pins, you like a spear
(My favorite doctor was Dr. Martyn Lloyd -Jones (1899-1981), a truly faithful preacher of the gospel of God's grace,
A real expository preacher of God's divine word, the Bible.)
