We were singing this in church yesterday and Lexi started dancing in the aisle, REALLY dancing. I caught a few friends’ eyes across the room and they were all cracking up. We sing it to a pretty danceable beat, all things considered. That probably would have bugged me more five years ago.
Depth of mercy can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear
Me the chief of sinners spare?
I have long withstood his grace
Long provoked him to his face
Would not hearken to his calls
Grieved him by a thousand falls
I have spilt his precious blood
Trampled on the Son of God
Filled with pains unspeakable
I, who yet, am not in Hell
I, my master have denied
I afresh have crucified
And profaned his hallowed name
Put him to an open shame
Jesus speaks and pleads his blood
He disarms the wrath of God
Now my Father’s mercies move
Justice lingers into love
There for me the savior stands
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands
God is love, I know, I feel
Jesus weeps and loves me still.
{ lyrics by Charles Wesley }
That is so sweet!
And those words are just beautiful.
what would have bugged you? the danceable-ness of the song? or seeign a child dancing in church? just curious. :)
The danceable-ness considering the lyrics. And the fact that my child was drawing so much attention. But not danceable-ness overall nor a child dancing in church in general. I’m weird like that ;)
Who knew Lexi was a Charismatic?
I certainly knew she was a diva long before Sunday!
That is adorable that she was that into the music it caused her to dance. I would definatly embrace that quality in her. After all who cares what others think she was having a good time.
