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

Sunday

Happy Sunday


 


This is one of the hymns we sang in church this morning.
I'm thankful for all the great old hymns that we still sing.

🎶 When I Survey The Wondrous Cross 🎶
Issac Watts

1. When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.

2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.

3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.


📖 I Corinthians 1:18 📖
 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; 
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

A Blessed Sunday to you.
Thanks for stopping by.
🤗 HappyK ❤️

I’ve grown to actually prefer the old hymns because of their depth meaning not to mention so beautifully written. 40 years ago I preferred the contemporary music most but I have evolved.
