Soul simplicity seems to be the theme so far in this New Year. It's nice to have a fresh start, isn't it? I have found myself drawn to old hymns, poetry and the King James version of the bible. My soul is crying out to engage in simple, solid truth.
We visited a church a couple of months ago and we sang the old hymn "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder." I was struck deeply by the truth that some day I will be in Heaven and my name will be read from the Book of Life. My name will be there because of Jesus.
May you be wholly lost in the sweet will of God this week…
Sweet Will of God
(Leila N. Morris, 1900)
Sweet will of God
Still fold me closer '
Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Thy precious will, O conqu'ring Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me
The storms have ceased, my peace a river
My soul a prisoned bird set free.
Sweet will of God
Still fold me closer '
Til I am wholly lost in Thee
"For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God."
(The Apostle Paul in the Book of Acts).
