As I have gotten older, I've noticed my memory is not as good as it once was. I guess it happens to most of us as we get older because we just have so much more to remember. We just can't remember it all. I often use my "oxygen deprived brain" as an excuse. LOL But there's one experience in a Christian's life they never forget, the moment they accepted Jesus as their Savior. I have never met a single person, young or old, who can't tell you about that moment.
"I Have Not Forgotten" is a great song written by Lance Carpenter and it was the Sothern Gospel Music song of the year in 2005 or 2006. Mr. Carpenter wrote many amazing songs recorded by several individual artists and quartets. Mr. Carpenter was later diagnosed with dementia but there is a story of his appearance in 2016 during an Old Time Preacher's Quartet service. Deep into his condition, the quartet invited him on to the platform to honor him for his contributions to Southern Gospel Music. Mr. Carpenter sang, "What A Day That Will Be" and at the conclusion of the song, simply said, "I'm Glad I'm Saved". It is said there was not a dry eye in the place, with Mr. Carpenter's simple testimony signifying that even with dementia, he had not forgotten.
Here is the chorus of "I Have Not Forgotten"
"Lord I, Lord I, Lord I Have not forgotten
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Only begotten
I was lost with out hope (lost with out hope)
When the Lord saved my soul (saved my soul)
I remember that hour
by His saving power
I have not forgotten
I have not forgotten."
I hope you will enjoy listening to "I Have Not Forgotten".
