James Allen

Born in 1864 in England, James Allen took his first job at fifteen to support his family. Allen worked as a factory knitter and later a private secretary before writing his first book, From Poverty to Power, in 1901. In 1903 he completed his best-known work: As a Man Thinketh. Allen wrote nineteen books, including his spiritual journal, The Light of Reason, before he died at age forty-seven in 1912. While not widely known during his lifetime, Allen later came to be seen as a pioneer of contemporary inspirational literature.

Introduction

James’ Song is a compilation of verses primarily from the Book of Psalms and a few from Isaiah, Matthew and Revelation. My love for the Psalms began while I was living in New York City (Harlem & Brooklyn). The idea of compiling verses was conceived while I was living in Omaha, Nebraska.

Ray Reid composed music to accompany my recitation of verses and the work was recorded on tape (circa 1993). I have grown to understand that giving thanks and praising God is a Prelude to Worship (Pastor Robert Young).

James’ Song

The Spirit of the Lord God

Is upon me

Because the Lord has anointed me

To preach good tidings

Unto the meek

He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted

To proclaim liberty

To the captives

And the opening of the prison

To them that are bound

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord

And the day of vengeance

Of our God

To comfort all that mourn

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion

To give unto them beauty for ashes

The oil of joy for mourning

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness

That they might be called trees of righteousness

The planting of the Lord

That He might be glorified

I was glad when they said unto me

Go into the house of the Lord

My feet

Stand within your gates Oh Jerusalem

I called upon the Lord in
