hymn stuck in my head this song popped into my head again so i decided to put it up. it's been one of the few songs that comes naturally to mind in some of my times of stress, n tho i can't remember it, i remember the part that helps calm me down (i've highlighted it in bold below). i'm not stressed now, jus sleepy, but it's coming to me again. it kinda got stuck in my head after it got sung at church service not long after meta ended. n it calmed me a bit when i was stressed out n i heard it in my head. i mean, jus being reminded of the fact that jesus loved me enuff to suffer so much for me made my problems pale in comparison. n on the part bout death, mebbe someday i'll learn to sing it n mean it on my deathbed, but for now it comforts me for awhile bout thots of dying (not that i've lost my fear of death yet). n yeah, this is one of the rare old praise hymns that i actually like enuff to keep hearing it in my head.My Jesus, I Love Thee by William Featherston My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; For Thee all the follies of sin I resign. My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. I love Thee because Thou has first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree. I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. I'll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death, And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath; And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow, If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. In mansions of glory and endless delight, I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright; I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. |
