Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

The Wondrous Story

Another great old hymn.
One of the hymns we sang at church this morning.
 
I Will Sing the Wondrous Story
Francis H Rowley

1.  I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me;
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary. 
 
Chorus
 
Yes, I’ll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ Who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.

2.  I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
 
3.  I was bruised, but Jesus healed me,
Faint was I from many a fall,
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
 
4.  Days of darkness still come o’er me,
Sorrow’s path I often tread,
But His presence still is with me;
By His guiding hand I’m led.
 
5.  He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He’ll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
 
🎶     🎵     🎶
 
Psalm 89:1
 
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:
 with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
 
📖     📖     📖
 
 
A blessed Sunday to you.
