"Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love...."



"Come Thou Fount"





Hello,
Are you ready to greet Him today,
or are you on a wandering path?
Why do we push away from the very thing that is best for us?
Why do we turn from His comforting hug and unending love?

"With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!"
Psalm 119:10



Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing

lyrics

by Fernando Ortega


Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

3. O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.

May you rest today as He draws you
once again (and again, and again) to Himself.
Tune your heart to sing His praise
and bind your heart to His!


"How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great are the sum of them!"
Psalm 139:17

"The Lord is your keeper..."
Psalm 121:5a
