No, not despairingly Come I to Thee; No, not distrustingly Bend I the knee: Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still my plea -- Jesus hath died. Ah! mine iniquity Crimson hath been, Infinite, infinite Sin upon sin: Sin of not loving Thee, Sin of not trusting Thee, Infinite sin. Lord, I confess… Continue reading Saturday Song: No, Not Despairingly

Saturday Song: Hallelujah, What a Savior!
"Man of Sorrows!"what a name For the Son of God, who came Ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah, what a Savior! Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned he stood -- Sealed my pardon with his blood: Hallelujah, what a Savior! Lifted up was He to die, "it is finished", was His cry; Now… Continue reading Saturday Song: Hallelujah, What a Savior!

Saturday Song: Not What My Hands Have Done
One of my favorite activities is looking through the hymnal and reading songs I've never heard. Tonight's song is written by Horatius Bonar (1808-1889). The tune was written by George Walter Martin (1828-1881). Here is a video of the song (with an extra verse or two) arranged by Brian Moss. Verse 1 Not what my… Continue reading Saturday Song: Not What My Hands Have Done
Saturday Song (a day late): God of My Days
I was having so much fun baking, cleaning, and doing laundry with the windows open yesterday that I forgot to post Saturday's song! It's just as well, I think, because I just heard this song, God of My Days, tonight. This is a beautiful song about resting in God's sovereignty even in mourning. This… Continue reading Saturday Song (a day late): God of My Days
Saturday Song: Road Trip Music
This week was Spring Break, which involved a 20-hour road trip (which was absolutely worth every minute of the drive!). Anyway, all that to say that I listened to a lot of music this week. So, I actually have two songs for this Saturday Song post. The first song made me laugh out loud --… Continue reading Saturday Song: Road Trip Music

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou… Continue reading Saturday Song: Jesus, I Am Resting
Saturday Song: Rock of Ages
Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure. Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no respite know, These for sin could not atone… Continue reading Saturday Song: Rock of Ages
He still leads me…
I was traveling yesterday, so I'm a little behind on my blog-reading. Today, however, I had some spare time between conference sessions and read this beautiful post from GirlTalk that I wanted to share here. The post, Walking in Darkness, reminded me of seasons where I walked not knowing with certainty what the end result… Continue reading He still leads me…
My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
Tonight, as I was "goofing off on the piano", I came across another hymn that I had never heard before: My Lord, I Did Not Choose You. The words are beautiful and true, so I wanted to share them here: My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would… Continue reading My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
