Oh Blessed, Living LordBecause this months song sings like a lullaby and reads like a poem I couldn’t pick a favorite verse and shall share them all with you. Read it through and tell me which part really moved your heart.
I love the idea of praying for our hearts to be engaged and to answer with a chord thus I thought the first verse was my favorite. However I could whole heartedly agree with where the author was coming from as I read through verse two and so I thought I would choose it but then the final verse was such a good reminder and so simply put about something so big I realised I had to share them all.
- O blessed, living Lord,
Engage our hearts with Thee,
And strike within some answ’ring chord
To love so rich and free! - To know Thy loving heart!
To cleave to Thy blest side!
To gaze upon Thee where Thou art,
And in Thy love abide! - To walk with Thee below!
To learn Thy holy ways!
And more to Thine own stature grow,
To Thine eternal praise! - Thyself our one Desire!
Thyself our Object here!
The goal to which our hearts aspire—
To meet Thee in the air!
