It’s not my custom to listen to much Christian music. But this morning on a run, for whatever reason, I decided to give a listen to Beams of Heaven: Indelible Grace IV. I like the IG guys– their music isn’t always my favorite, but they find great hymns, aren’t overly produced, and generally avoid the cheese.
So all that to say, my morning started with some great news.
I do not ask to see the way
My feet will have to tread;
But only that my soul may feed
Upon the living Bread.
‘Tis better far that I should walk
By faith close to His side;
I may not know the way I go, But oh, I know my Guide.
Since all that I meet will work for my good,
The bitter is sweet, The medicine food;
Though painful at present, will cease before long,
And then, O! how glorious, The conqueror’s song!Begone unbelief, The Savior is here
Though cisterns be broken And creatures all fail
The word he has spoken will surely prevail.
(“Begone Unbelief“)
Whate’er I need in Jesus dwells,
And there it dwells for me;
‘Tis Christ my earthen vessel fills
With treasures rich and freeMercy and truth and righteousness,
And peace, most richly meet
In Jesus Christ, the King of grace,
In Whom I stand complete.
(“Jesus, the Lord, My Savior Is“)
“the cheese” is not good
