Here's my heart...

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 Lord, take and seal it
seal it for Thy courts above


We listened to this song on our quick drive to church today. I have loved this hymn for years & years. It is so powerful to me. It always strikes cords from deep within my soul. I just imagine what it would be like to sit & have a conversation with Christ in which we discuss the tendencies of man to wander & how forgiving & loving he is. I am not perfect in my attempt at turning my heart to God, but I am so thankful that I have a knowledge of his love & his grace.

Today Clint was also set apart in his new calling. When we were about to leave the bishop mentioned to me that he knew I was looking for a new job & wondered if I was having any success. I told him of my progress & being the wise humble man that he is he said something so precise & simple to me. He said, "Trust in the Lord". I agree! Most days I feel as if it's all I can do is trust that He is aware of me & remember to always be mindful that He has the ultimate plan for me & I need to work on my trust & that He has been building a pathway unique for me & my needs.
