Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #264 (1977) First Line: In the carnal state of sin and fear Lyrics: 1 In the carnal state of sin and fear,
There can no rest be found
So press up where the light is clear,
And get on resting ground.
Refrain:
Come, get on resting ground,
Where peace and love abound,
Where Christ alone rules on the throne.
Come, get on resting ground.
2 The battle for awhile may rage,
More fiercely than before,
But all your pow'rs of soul engage,
And it will soon be o'er. [Refrain]
3 But don't give up, although it seem
You have no pow'r to win;
Christ gave His blood you to redeem,
And it does cleanse from sin. [Refrain]

And Christ seem far away,
Yet in your heart He'll make His throne,
If you desire and pray. [Refrain]

But makes your chance the less;
Just promise God to sin no more,
And claim His righteousness. [Refrain]

As well as those of yore:
Today by faith your strength renew,
And live forevermore. [Refrain]
7 No matter if you've tried before,
Try yet once more– or die:
There's rest for you in Christ, I'm sure,
He will not you deny. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation; Invitation; Revival Scripture: Isaiah 52:2 Languages: English Tune Title: [In the carnal state of sin and fear]

Charles Price Jones
1865 - 1949 Author of "Come, Get On Resting Ground" Charles Price Jones born December 9, 1865, near Rome, Georgia. He grew up in Kingston, Georgia, and attended the Baptist church. He was converted in 1884 while living in Cat Island, Arkansas. In 1885 he was called to the ministry and began preaching. In 1888 he attended Arkansas Baptist College and taught school in Grant County, Arkansas. He preached and pastored several Baptist churches. After asking God for a deeper experience of grace and fasting and praying for three days, Jones experienced a closeness with God, and in 1895, along with other Baptist holiness adherents, who taught that a second work of grace can cleanse the Christian of original sin. They started a holiness movement in the Baptist church, and he began teaching holiness in his congregation, Mount Helm Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi. He faced much opposition from some members of his congregation and other Baptist churches. Eventually the church voted to remove "Baptist" and change it to "Church of Christ." For several years, Jones led a non-denominational holiness movement. In 1899 he began to write songs for his church. Most of his hymns were inspired by a scripture passage. The congregation built the Christ Temple campus which included a 1000 seat sanctuary, a printing press, a school building, and a girl's dormitory. In 1917, Jones organized Christ Temple Church in Los Angeles and moved the printing press there. He died January 19, 1949 in Los Angeles
