Today I while I was running errands I had the radio on. I was not paying much attention to it, instead I was thinking about what I needed to get at each store and the fastest way to get everything done. (I hate shopping, so I try to map out my plan ahead of time to create minimal time inside the stores.) All of a sudden a lady started singing a hymn I had not heard in a very long time. The words spoke to my heart so very much that I thought I would share them.
Take the Word but Give Me Jesus
Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name;
But His love abideth ever,
Through eternal years the same.
refrain:
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption!
Pledge of endless life above!
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o're me,
I can sing though billows roll.
refrain:
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption!
Pledge of endless life above!
Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.
refrain:
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption!
Pledge of endless life above!
Take the world but give me Jesus,
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I'll see.
refrain:
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption!
Pledge of endless life above!
