And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Luke 16:9
I thought, “My, isn’t this wonderful.” Oh, my, and I was afraid of it. Why was I afraid of dying, to come to this? Why, this is perfection, plus perfection, plus perfection. Oh, this is wonderful. See, we’re right under the altar. See, that was it. We’re right under the altar, waiting for the coming (See?) when, He go get the ones that was sleeping—in the—the bodies sleeping in the dust, to raise us again. Come by, raise us up—like Jesus come through Paradise and brought up Abraham, Isaac, and all them, you know, was waiting in the first resurrection. They entered into the city and appeared to many, perfectly Scriptural. A vision was there or whatever it was, it was perfectly Scriptural.
And then I said, “Well, isn’t this wonderful.” And then I thought, “Isn’t that wonder…?” And I heard something nicker like a horse. And I looked, and my little saddle horse that I used to ride, little Prince (I thought so much of him.), here he was standing there by me and put his head over on my shoulder to hug me like I used to give him sugar, you know. He put his… I put my arm around him. I said, “Prince, I knowed you’d be here.”
I felt something lick my hand. There was my old coon dog. When—when Mr. Short, down here, poisoned him, I swore I’d kill Mr. Short for it. I was about sixteen years old. He poisoned him, give him a dog button. My daddy caught me with a rifle going down to shoot him, right in the police station. And I said, “I’ll kill him.” And I said, “Well…” I went over to the dog’s grave. I thought…?… him, I said, “Fritz, you been a—like a companion to me. You clothed me and sent me to school; when you got old, I was going to take care of you; now they’ve killed you.” I said, “I’ll promise you, Fritz, that he won’t live.” I said, “I promise you he won’t live. I’ll catch him on the street sometime, walking; then I’ll run right over him.” See? I said, “I’ll get him for you.”
But you know what? I led the man to Christ, baptized him in Jesus’ Name, and buried him at his death. I got converted about a few years after that. I seen things different then. See? I loved him instead of hating him.
So then, but however, there was Fritz standing there licking me on the hand. And I—I looked… I couldn’t cry. Nobody could cry. It was all joy. You couldn’t be sad, ’cause it was all happiness. You couldn’t die, ’cause it was all life. See? Couldn’t get old, ’cause it was all youth. See, that’s what… It was just perfect. I thought, “Oh, isn’t this wonderful?” And the millions… Oh, my. I was right at home. See?
And—and just then I heard a voice and it cried out, said, “All that you ever loved…” (Reward for my service). I don’t need no reward. He said, “All that you ever loved, and all that ever loved you, God has given to you.”
I said, “Praise the Lord.” I felt funny. I thought, “What’s the matter? I feel funny.” I turned around and looked, and on the bed my body was moving. I said, “Oh, I don’t have to go back, surely. Don’t—don’t let me go.” But the Gospel had to be preached. In just a second I was on the bed again (See?), like that.

CHORUS
Greater works than these shall you do,
For it’s a promise for me and you.
Greater works than these
shall you do,
For it’s a promise for me
and you.
For we are partakers, Lord, of Your holiness,
And we are now clothed in Your righteousness;
And we are Your children walking in this Evening Light,
And in Your Bride You’ll be glorified.
For the God of Peace shall bruise Satan under our feet,
The army of the living God, he shall not defeat;
So let us praise God for this mighty privilege
To be a part of this apostolic heritage.
So brothers and sisters let’s keep on abiding in His Word;
Don’t look to the things of this world and get your vision blurred;
For we’ve been drawn to that holy place
Where Our Lord has placed His name;
Having blessed assurance He’ll glorify it again.
For the cup of the iniquity of this world is almost full,
And here we are upon Mt. Zion awaiting that final pull;
May God grant us the faith to use that two-edged sword,
For every day Your elect cries, “Just once more Lord.”
Greater works than these shall you do,
For it’s a promise for me and you.
BRIDGE
Unconditional promise for me and you,
Unfailing promise for me and you,
Holy Ghost promise for me and you,
Seven Thunders promise for me and you,
Oh, what a mighty promise for me and you.
