Song of the day- Come Thou Font of Every Blessing
As Christmas settles down and we start cleaning up the kitchen, and the presents aftermath and the last flickers of Holiday lights begin to dim, I like to put on Sufjan Stevens album and reflect in my cozy Christmas pajamas. There's something about the acoustic instruments and old hymns like today's song that slows down my heart and resets my mind. The blessings in my life abound while others long to find the meaning of the word. And still we all long to be filled even after the blessings of the holidays pas. So for the longing in our hearts all year round and the ending of a Merry Christmas, this one's for you.
Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love. 2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3. O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
