I was waiting for my milk to heat up to make yogurt while all the house is asleep (except for one reading nightowl upstairs!), and I thought, I actually could blog right now. So here I am! My favorite hymn is by William Cowper and titled "There is a Fountain." I love it because of the words and also because of a quote I read by Cowper once. It read, "There is no stain so deep the blood of Christ cannot remove." That may be a paraphrase but I still love that quote. Here are the words: There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins; The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save, Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be, And here is my favorite version (without the video- a word to the wise, the video is graphic and just is NOT necessary to appreciate the depth of beauty of the song. Just my 2 cents!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6sXbHuATvo If you enjoy this version, too, check out more music at Red Mountain Church. (They rearrange old hymns to new music. Truly lovely.) I hope you have experienced the depth of love and mercy of the forgiveness of the blood of Christ. May the Holy Spirit remind us all of how great is His love that we may love Him all the more! |
