A Navajo Indian's Testimony and Song

September 15, 1949

        I read through the news paper and nothing really stood out to me. I then noticed another little article on page 14 called, "A Navajo Indian's Testimony and Song." The article never tells us his name, nor does the Navajo Indian ever tell us his name. We are left to wonder how old he was too. At the very beginning of the article he writes some lyrics to a song that he has written.

The road of sinful way I have trod on.
Now I am coming, now I am coming;
God, I am coming back to You.
By Your mercy bless me. 
Now I am coming back to You.

        He writes how God has delivered him from his, and no longer does he have to indulge in the pleasures of sin. He writes, "Even the things white people would have enjoyed, I enjoyed too" (p.14). He writes about his salvation and when he heard the words of the missionary he wanted to give his life to Christ. After reading this article, it is identical in to today's world, that people are still hearing the word of God and being convicted and accepting God into their lives. He spoke about living in sin and wanting to live with Jesus when he dies. I also found a prayer that I think I will use in my own life, that he uses, he writes, "Please my Father God, wash me from all the sin, even sins I have in my heart which are not seen and do not know of" (p.14).
        Finally, he wrote at the end of the column, "How about you? Why not make up your mind to do this and turn to him and be saved from your sin? Then you shall always be happy. Or else you will die in your sin" (14). In conclusion, I think this Navajo Indian was totally sold for Christ. Here is an Indian who hears this message and immediately excepts Christ as his personal savior. I wonder what ever became of him? maybe he will be in later articles within, "The Other Sheep."
