The Personal Testimony of Gypsy Smith:  “I didn’t go to your colleges and seminaries. They wouldn’t have me….but I’ve been to the feet of Jesus, where the only true scholarship is learned. The way to Jesus is not by Cambridge and Oxford, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare, or the poets… It's over an old-fashioned hill called Calvary. I’m God’s messenger from the gypsy tent. It’s the message that’s important, not the messenger." In the latter years of his life, Vance Havner said to him: "Gypsy, I heard you preach... over fifty years ago--my, how you blessed my heart then. I have never forgotten it - but again tonight, how my heart was warmed and thrilled! Gypsy, tell me - what's the secret?" Gypsy answered, "Sir, I have never lost the wonder of it all." It was this simple statement that gave birth to the wonderful hymn written by Al Smith. Listen to this true story of Gypsy Smith and the story behind "I Have Never Lost the Wonder of It All."
