Despite the sadness hanging over me right now (see previous post), one look outside of my dining room window (above) reminds me how truly amazing God is.
The following song is one that we sang this morning at church. I’ve found that the last few years, I really focus on the words I’m singing. It’s one thing for a song to have a good tune, but the words are the power behind the music.
David Crowder Band Come Thou Fount Lyrics:
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
I’ll praise the mount I’m fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind
my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
