I serve a risen Savior!
I recently ran across this story of how the great Easter hymn, “I Serve a Risen Savior”, came about… enjoy!One Sunday morning a pastor was dressing for church and had the radio on listening to radio station. Suddenly he heard, “It’s Easter, and it doesn’t make any difference if Christ be risen or not…”
Shocked, A.H.Ackley shouted,” It’s a lie! He is risen!”
His wife said,” Why don’t you write a song about it?”
Reading the gospels again and led by the Spirit of God, he began writing. “I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today, I know that He is living, whatever men may say…”
