love that will not let me go :)

O Love that will not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
-O Love That Will Not Let Me Go by George Mattheson

I love this song with everything inside of me. There does not exist a good recording of it, so I only get to enjoy it when it is played corporately for worship. I like that it alludes to our deaths (dying to ourselves) bringing life. Marshall talked about pruning at leadership tonight and I was encouraged. I hope the Lord never stops pruning me. I never want my life to stop bearing fruit. (I guess I hope it is already).
School started today, so blogging might come less and less, but don't worry, even if it is just song lyrics, i'll make it work :)
This picture is on brannon road here in Lexington. :) One of my favorite roads to drive on.
