Introduction:
“The Story Behind Rescue the Perish”
“Fanny Crosby loved sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen.
In 1869 she penned the words to “Rescue the Perishing.”
When asked about the song, she explained, “It was written following a personal experience at the New York City Bowery Mission.”
She went on to explain that she would go one night a week to talk to “her boys.”
One night while speaking to them, she kept having the thought that there was a boy present who had wandered away from his mother and must be rescued that night, or he would be eternally lost.
She made a plea to each boy that was there that night.
At the end of the service, one of the young men came forward and said, “Did you mean me, Miss Crosby?
I promised my mother to meet her in Heaven, but as I am now living that will be impossible.”
She prayed with him and led him to Christ.
As they finished, he said, “Now I am ready to meet my mother in Heaven, for I have found God.””
Main Point: “We rejoice in the lost being found.”
