Jesus, I love Thee....
This song has been playing in my heart this week. I do appreciate old hymns, the words are soulful, healing...they have substance.
As I was singing (make a joyful noise) the third measure grips me every time.
"I love the 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, Lord Jesus, 'tis now."
Will we love Him through death?
The death of a marriage, of vows?
The death of a dream for son over taken by an addiction?
The death of a lifestyle for a sister being blinded by the world's lies?
The death of a infant, new life abruptly taken without reason?
The death of ideas when a diagnoses is terminal?
Can we, will we say...
"If ever I loved Thee, Lord Jesus, 'tis now."
