Rejoice, my heart.

There is something about hymns that really speak to my heart.

Sometimes I can't believe that words written centuries ago have

such truth & meaning so many years later. I can't believe that the

time between then & now hasn't stripped the relevance from the 

verses; that the deepest longings of the writer's hearts are the same 

as mine. Words like: 

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 your ocean depths 

its flow may richer, fuller be. 

I've had this song on my mind for a few days now. The words

have been speaking to me, as I've sure they've spoken to countless

others before me. I love that idea.

So rejoice, my heart.

Rejoice, my soul; my savior God has come to thee. 

Rejoice my heart, you've been made whole

by a love that will not let me go.
