Chris, that was very helpful brother, thank you!
I related in a request for prayer just now how there was a large group of people out tonight, dressed as zombies and horrifying gore, apperantly in order to mock the Lord Jesus and His resurrection.
It was enough to make you cry.
I thought then of dedicating a song to our Lord Jesus, which has been a song of prayer for me. As often as people may blaspheme our Lord Jesus, we may praise Him. As often as they may hate Him in ignorance, may we shower Him with love.
[b]More Love to Thee, O Christ[/b]
words by Elizabeth P. Prentiss,
More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee. This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee; More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best. This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee; More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain; Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain, When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee; More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise; This be the parting cry my heart shall raise; This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee; More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
