Remembering Who HE Is

Today a simple hymn has been singing in my heart:

“Jesus, I am resting, resting,
in the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart.
Thou has bid me gaze upon Thee,
and Thy beauty fills my soul,
For by Thy transforming power
Thou has made me whole.

Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus,
I behold Thee as Thou art;
And Thy love, so pure, so changeless,
Satisfies my heart–
Satisfies its deepest longings,
Meets, supplies its every need,
Compasseth me round with blessings:
Thine is love indeed!

Ever lift Thy face upon me,
As I work and wait for Thee;
Resting ’neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus,
Earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
Sunshine of my Father’s face,
Keep me ever trusting, resting,
Fill me with Thy grace.

Jesus, I am resting, resting,
in the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness of Thy loving heart!”

Oh how we need Him! Oh how I love Him! Jesus–my savior, my king, my friend! Stand fast in His presence, sit still in His kindness; Jesus–our Savior, our friend.

Go with Him this week!
