Sunday Sentiments

There's within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
in all of life's ebb and flow.

All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
stirred the slumb'ring chords again.

Feasting on the riches of His grace,
resting 'neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
that is why I shout and sing.

Tho' sometimes He leads through waters deep,
trials fall across the way,
Tho' sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
see His footprints all the way.

Soon He's coming back to welcome me
far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall live with Him on high.

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know,
Fills my ev'ry longing, keeps me singing as I go.

L. B. Bridgers

I was so blessed by some of the songs we sang today, including the one written out above. Truly, Jesus is the sweetest name I know. He alone provides grace and rest. He alone gets us through the trials of this life. He alone keeps me singing as I go.
