There are some hymns that help me to reflect on God's love for me and certain verses of these hymns which I struggle to sing aloud because of the way the words speak to me of God's love. One hymn I was reminded of tonight was Surely Goodness and Mercy which has been sung a few times recently. It was the first verse which I found hard to sing tonight at prayer meeting which goes:
A pilgrim was I and a-wand’ring,
In the cold night of sin I did roam.
When Jesus, the kind Shepherd, found me,
And now I am on my way home.
I found it particularly touching because it reminds me of how unworthy I am to be receiving God's love. Not only did Jesus die for my sins, he has come after me like a loving shepherd even though it was my fault that I am lost. I wanted to share this because it may help you to appreciate this hymn a little more next time you sing it. If you have a hymn or a particular verse that speaks to you, maybe you can share it in the comments below and your reasons why it is so impacting.
