Devotional
Rev. David Black, Pastor
Jackson and Fellowship
Presbyterian Churches
“Don’t keep the faith . . give
it away! ” say the signs in front
of our churches. And many of
the songs we sing inside our
churches have come because
John Newton-the one-time
sailor and slave trader-accept
ed the challenge. He received
God’s amazing grace, then he
passed it on to a half-crazy
man named William Cowper.
There was hardly a day
during his sixty-nine years on
earth that William Cowper did
not suffer. Because of a weak
constitution, he suffered physi
cally. Because of uncontroll
able spells of depression, he
suffered mentally. Cowper
could never dismiss from his
mind the belief that God had
doomed his soul beyond
redemption. The phobia drove
him to attempts at suicide.
Four times he was committed
to insane asylums.
Cowper studied law, but he
could not plead cases because
of stage fright. And his speech
was impaired by lisping and
stammering. Yet when he had
control of his faculties, there
came from his pen master
pieces that have placed his
name among the foremost of
England’s literary giants.
The world can thank John
Newton-the man who wouldn’t
keep his faith to himself-for
bringing out the best in William
Cowper. While pastor in the
town of Olney, England,
Newton gave the poet a home
and put him to work. He built a
study in the garden where the
strange little man could write
his poems, play with the
rabbits, and talk to the birds.
Newton encouraged and col
laborated with Cowper in the
writing of hymns for weekly
prayer meetings, finally com
piling an entire collection of
Olney Hymns, among them
being “Oh, for a Closer Walk
with God”, “God Moves in a
Mysterious Way,” and “There
Is a Fountain.”
The latter hymn is omitted
from some hymnals on the
grounds that the metaphor
“fountain filled with blood” is
offensive. But apparently there
have been sufficient people
who appreciate the forceful
ness of this hymn to keep it a
favorite for almost two
centuries. And its author,
William Cowper, died with a
smile on his lips, finally
assured that his prayers had
been answered and his soul
redeemed. Secure in the
knowledge that the blood of
Christ, shed for sinful men, is
sufficient even for a crazy
man:
There is a fountain filled with
blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s
veins;
And sinners, plunged be
neath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to
see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile
as he,
Wash all my sins away!
