Q: what's better than finding a dollar in your pocket?
A: Finding a good song on your iPod you didn't even know existed! hehehe
It really is a great song. It's one of those songs that make you feel good. I call those types of songs my "cup of coffee". Well, anyway I have been lying in bed for the past three hours, and I can no longer sleep! Too excited! I was listening to this song over and over. I put it on repeat so I now know almost every word! WOOHOO!
It's a hymn that was written in the 1800's, so this is an old song. I usually prefer the new-er music like: Rush of Fools, MercyMe and Brandon Heath. That type of stuff, but this one was just really pretty! Here are the lyrics.
Jesus I Come
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy blessèd will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the joy and light of Thy throne,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

I Love this song! We used to sing it in the church I grew up in, up in cold and snowy Michigan. Back in the day...haha. Back before the praise songs took hold (I love those too), and most churches stuck to hymns, rich with meaning. Thank you for sharing,! The words brought back such sweet memories! I sang along with your post!
Yes i do! Thanks! Love ya back! ;)
