01/31/2011

Hey everyone!
I had a pretty good week. I don't have much to say about it, but I have been thinking a lot about something. Elder Sedgwick and I were talking a few nights ago about songs that touch our hearts and we talked about a song specifically. I read the words and have been thinking about them for quite some time now. They really caused me to reflect on the gratitude I have for all the blessings I have in my life, especially my faith in Jesus Christ. I hope everyone enjoys it.

O Lord, My Redeemer

And the Roman soldiers laughed

When they saw their pris’ner stumble.

He did not revile them back

And wondering I asked, who was this man so humble?

And a woman at my side

Choked on her reply

Though she struggled not to weep, the tears poured down her cheek

Her heart breaking as she cried

O Lord, my redeemer, thou hast done so much for me

O Lord, my redeemer, all my love I give to thee

And the crowd went pushing on

I felt compelled to follow.

I knew that they were wrong, how they mocked him all along

Suddenly my heart felt hollow

For they nailed him to a tree

On a hill called Calvary

While I stood there filled with wonder, the heavens roared with thunder

And again I heard the plea

O Lord, my redeemer, thou hast done so much for me

O Lord, my redeemer, all my love I give to thee

I could not forget his face

As I wandered from that place

With the questions ever burning, I put myself to learning

And each answer came with grace

And I knelt in earnest prayer

His memory still there

And the more that I’d inquire, the hotter burned the fire

I found joy beyond compare

And the day turned into three

Morning found me in a garden

Where the gentle April breeze, returned me to my knees

Pleading for a pardon

And I can’t say when or why

I opened up my eyes

But His feet were there before me, His hands were opened o’er me

And His face I recognized.

O Lord, my redeemer, thou hast done so much for me

O Lord, my redeemer, all my love I give to thee


Love you all! Hope you have a good week.
