Luke 18:35-38<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, ‘Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.’ He called out, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Watch<\/a><\/p>\n

Some time ago I was watching an episode of The First 48. <\/em>The suspect in a homicide was a young woman with an extensive criminal history. As the detectives questioned her, she was defiant and bitter. She railed out at them because of her miserable life and denied any involvement in the murder.<\/p>\n

It just so happened that her interrogation took place on Thanksgiving Day. There were many police officers on duty that day and so the department had brought in a complete buffet of tasty food.<\/p>\n

After spending fruitless time interrogating the young woman, the detectives left her alone and went into the main office to get a plate of food. One of the detectives suddenly remembered the young woman and filled a plate for her as he and another returned to the interrogation room.<\/p>\n

The detective placed the plate of food in front of the young woman and said, “Let’s thank the Lord for the food.” He took her hand and the other detective’s hand. He prayed for each of them at that table and thanked the Lord for the food. He observed a heart-stopping transformation.<\/p>\n

The young woman began to weep and said, “I need to get right with the Lord. I want to tell you everything that I did and I want the Lord to forgive me.” Wow! In that moment, this miserable girl cried out to the Lord to not pass her by<\/em>, and He didn?t. It reminds me of the old hymn, “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior<\/a>“<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
\nHear my humble cry;
\nWhile on others Thou art calling,
\nDo not pass me by.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain: <\/strong>
\nSavior, Savior, Hear my humble cry;
\nWhile on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let me at Thy throne of mercy
\nFind a sweet relief,
\nKneeling there in deep contrition;
\nHelp my unbelief.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:
\n<\/strong>Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry;
\nWhile on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.<\/em><\/p>\n

Trusting only in Thy merit,
\nWould I seek Thy face;
\nHeal my wounded, broken spirit,
\nSave me by Thy grace.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain: <\/strong>
\nSavior, Savior, Hear my humble cry;
\nWhile on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thou the Spring of all my comfort,
\nMore than life to me,
\nWhom have I on earth beside Thee?
\nWhom in Heav’n but Thee?<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:
\n<\/strong>Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry;
\nWhile on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
