"Jesus my Lord, my God, my all
How can I love thee as I ought?
And how revere this wondrous gift
So far surpassing hope or thought"
The hymns of my childhood stay with me forever. The lyrics and music are so profound, so beautiful, they really help me in my hours of doubt. I'm not a naturally holy person but these hymns make me feel reverence for the Lord. Awe and reverence. I don't get that much from modern day music. Music since the seventies really. Not much guitar music inspires me. I love organ music. I only need to hear one instrument. The organ. And then those incredible lyrics!
"Jesus in your heart we find
Love of the Father and Mankind
These two loves to us impart
Divine love in a human heart"
I truly believe God speaks to me through these lyrics and music. It really is like "love" music. Intimacy with the Lord. I don't want to get too carried away here but I'm sure you get my drift.
