what's old is new again
| It's interesting that some of my favorite "new" songs, really aren't that new after all. I heard a great tune this summer for the first time, and after searching for it on the internet, found that it was a hymn written by a pastors daughter in the 1800s. History says that she was ill most of her life and was never able to marry or have children. However, she obviously grasped the wonder of a sovereign God who controlled everything in her life. Here are the lyrics. I am not skilled to understand What God has willed, what God has planned I only know at His right hand Stands One who is my Savior I take Him at His word indeed "Christ died for sinners," this I read For in my heart I find a need Of Him to be my Savior That He should leave His place on high And come for sinful man to die You count it strange? So, once, did I Before I knew my Savior Yes, living, dying, let me bring My strength, my solace, from this Spring That He who lives to be my King Once died to be my Savior! |
