My pondering of Proverbs 31 as well as Travis' sermon series on the confession of sin have led to a lot of contemplation in my life in the past few weeks. I am finding so much refreshment in the knowledge that no matter how deep my failure and sin God's grace has already covered it!
We sang this hymn in church this past Sunday. It has become a favorite of mine.
Jesus I Come
Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of my sickness into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
--
Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of earth's sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life's storms and into Thy calm.
Our of distress into jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
--
Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into Thy blessed will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Our of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Our of despair to raptures above.
Upward forever on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
--
Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into Thy peaceful, sheltering fold.
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
