Looking at the words of the hymns that stood out to my mind and heart today you'd think I'm afraid of something or in need of greater courage? ;) Probably true, but I'm grateful to know where those blessings come from....the Lord, following His way, repenting, the sacrament, love, faith, prayer....
Come, Ye Children of the Lord
Oh, how joyful it will be When our Savior we shall see!
When in splendor he'll descend, Then all wickedness will end.
Oh, what songs we then will sing To our Savior, Lord, and King!
Oh, what love will then bear sway When our fears shall flee away!
As Now We Take the Sacrament
As now our minds review the past, We know we must repent;
The way to thee is righteousness--The way thy life was spent.
Forgiveness is a gift from thee We seek with pure intent.
With hands now pledged to do thy work, We take the sacrament.
As now we praise thy name with song, The blessings of this day
Will linger in our thankful hearts, And silently we pray
For courage to accept thy will, To listen and obey.
We love thee, Lord; our hearts are full. We'll walk thy chosen way.
When Faith Endures
I give the Father willingly
My trust, my prayers, humility.
His Spirit guides; his love assures
That fear departs when faith endures.
