every day this week, on my way to school, i've been listening to a wonderful mix of music. i tell ya, nothing to wake you up and get your day going like a few good songs!
this week i've made a morning tradition of listening to this old hymn, possessing poetry to stir your soul and truths to make you weep.
::::
come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
full of pity, love and pow’r.
[refrain]
i will arise and go to Jesus,
in the arms of my dear Savior,
oh, there are ten thousand charms.
come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
true belief and true repentance,
every grace that brings you nigh.
come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
lost and ruined by the fall;
if you tarry till you’re better,
you will never come at all.
view Him prostrate in the garden;
on the ground your Maker lies;
on the bloody tree behold Him;
sinner, will this not suffice?
lo! th’ incarnate God ascended,
pleads the merit of His blood:
venture on Him, venture wholly,
let no other trust intrude.
let not conscience make you linger,
not of fitness fondly dream;
all the fitness He requireth
is to feel your need of Him.
::::
{written by joseph hart, 1759)
Jesus said, "I AM the door."
