This chorus brings back memories of visits to my grandparents in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica.
If You Only Knew The Blessings That Salvation Brings
If you only knew the blessings
That salvation brings
You will never, never stay away;
If you only saw the table
Spread with lovely things
You would come to the feast today
For the door is opened wide
And the Saviour bids you come
There is nothing you have to pay
So be wise and step inside
And do not be like some
Who have thrown their last chance away

Hi George,
Yes it is a Jamaican gospel song by the Jamaican musician and songwriter Wilfred Gerald “Jackie” Edwards. I have now added the YouTube video beneath the words of his song in this blog.
