“Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the One I love” From the first time I really listened to the lyrics of Come Thou Fount, I found myself drawn to this line. I love the raw honesty and vulnerability it shows. It recognizes the weakness within and the foolishness of a “Peter-like” [...]
“Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee” Perhaps the best illustration of a wandering heart is an adulteress relationship. It is flawless in its depiction of God’s people roaming in and out of covenant with the bridegroom (Christ). This phrase displays the idea of being bound to the heart of [...]
This morning’s blog hour of power brought to you by Mark… “O to grace how great a debtor, daily I’m constrained to be” This is a powerful line speaking on how we are compelled every day to be in Gods debt because of his grace. In Eph 2:8-9 it says: “For by grace you [...]
Part 6 in this series is brought to us by Kendra… “He to rescue me from danger, bought me with His precious blood” This hymn is rich with meaning and so doctrinally sound but poetic at the same time, I will do my best to expound upon this line. The first part, “He to rescue [...]
This post marks the first in a team blogging assignment. Each member of my band was assigned a line from Come Thou Fount to finish out the exposition. Here we have Ronni’s take, it’s a great one so enjoy. -Kyle “Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God” I think [...]
“Hither to thy love has blessed me, thou hast brought me to this place And I know thy hand will bring me, safely home by thy good grace” The opening lines to this read like a David psalm although not nearly as whiny and scared, much more at rest. These lines remind me of Hebrews [...]
“Teach me some melodious sonnets, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise His name I’m fixed upon it, name of God’s redeeming love” I’m amazed how this song mixes a psalmist sense of poetry with a strong declaration of doctrinal truth. The author, Robert Robinson, comes from a place I think we can all relate. [...]
Yesterday we explored line one of Come Thou Font. Today I’m going to look into the second line which proclaims: “Streams of mercy never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise” The same Hebrew word (hesed) used for mercy is also translated as love. I have a much easier time comprehending God’s unending love than [...]
