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.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering 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.
O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.
God is doing SO much. I wish I could say everything that He is doing in a blog like this. But I can't. It's all too amazing. You know how one moment you feel so downtrodden and then God just completely rocks your socks off? That would be every day of my life...but today it was exacerbated. I can't explain in words, but it's all in the heart. =) Lately I've just been feeling indebted to Christ, but yet prone to wander and prone to leave the God I love. Yet His grace liberates us from sin and from ourselves but also it binds us to Him. What an amazing dichotomy. I am so excited about this. God's call is irrevocable and I am so thankful. Also, the joy in Him is far greater than anything I have ever experienced.
God Bless.
