Do Lord, O Do Lord, O Do Remember Me

by Orrin Belcher

When I was a young boy, my uncle Frank would play his guitar and sing, “Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me.”  I really liked the song back then because of the way the tune and his bass voice combined with his guitar. Now when I hear that song, I think of him, but because I am now a Christian, the words mean a lot more. There are other songs that remind me of scripture.

“Do Lord, O do Lord, O do remember me...”
Luke 23:42-43 says, “Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.’”
“I have a home in glory land that outshines the sun…”
Acts 26:13 tells us, “About noon, O King, as I was on the road, I saw a light from Heaven, brighter than the sun, blazing around me and my companions.”
“I took Jesus as my Savior, you take him, too…”
2 Peter 1:11 says, “And you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
“Way beyond the blue…”
Psalms 57:10 reminds us, “For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.”

God remembered me by giving His Son so I could have eternal life. What a great inheritance.

Prayer: Dear Lord, make me more like You.
