Amanda Blackburn's "last will and testimony"
was published today.
Amanda Blackburn, during an invasion of her home, was shot multiple times as she tried to protect her toddler son, her husband was not present.
Amanda's "last will and testimony":
"I love you Lord. Glory and praise to You."
Written the day before she and her unborn child
were looking full in "His wonderful face."
Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conqu’rors we are!
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
Helen H. Lemmel, 1922
