I love when a contemporary band upbeats the older hymns. Wonderful blend of both – as long as I can sing along with them. LOL. Aren’t the words powerful in these lyrics? I know they moved me!

I love the first verse that encourages me to praise with gusto, the second verse as I’m reminded of all the times God has helped ME, the third verse that speaks of his kindness pursuing me all these decades, the fourth verse inspiring me to seek God’s grip on my life, and the fifth verse that sets my hope on heaven. By the time we’re finished singing, I feel recentered. Indeed, praise God the stream of his mercies always flows. Thank you for Robert Robinson’s story, Jean!

ARen’t those powerful words? Certainly brought me back into the message in that hymn and became a heartfelt prayer too.

Glad I am not the only one. Grateful God woke me up too

How this phrase moves me, Jean. We are all tempted to wander from the very love of God that sustains us. Such a beautiful hymn that has transcended time. Also love the history lesson. 🙂
Blessings!

It’s so easy to get distracted even in the midst of something good. I’m glad you were able to redirect back to praise. 🙂
