Today's been a busy day. A day full of encouragement, prayer and laughter but also one with normal chores (dishes, trash, clothes wash), very cold temperatures (in the mid-teens Fahrenheit) and temper tantrums. [Yes, that is a foam sword by the candles. Just a reminder of my life: peaceful moments accompanied by the reminder of active children.]Below is one of my favorite hymns (by Samuel Trevor Francis). It's a hymn that I find so peaceful and encouraging, especially on up and down days. Do you have a favorite hymn or song for crazy days?
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me.
Underneath me all around me, is the current of thy love;
Leading onward, leading homeward, to thy glorious rest above.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! Spread his praise from shore to shore;
How he loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore;
How he watches o’er his loved ones, died to call them all his own;
How for them he intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne.
How he loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore;
How he watches o’er his loved ones, died to call them all his own;
How for them he intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! Love of ev’ry love the best:
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, ‘tis a haven sweet of rest.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! ‘Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to thee.
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing, ‘tis a haven sweet of rest.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! ‘Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to thee.
Amen.
