For my 1000th post I wanted to mark the occasion with something good. Well, after some thought, I decided that in line with my screen name, and in the vien of some of my posts regarding my faith I would like to share the words to one of my favorite songs with you all. It is called "Come Thou Fount" and here is the first and last part:<br /><br />Come, Thou Fount<br /><br />Come, thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;<br />Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise.<br />Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above.<br />Praise the mount - I'm fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love<br /><br />O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be!<br />Let Thy goodness like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to Thee<br />Prone to wander-Lord I feel it- Prone to leave the God I love;<br />Here's my heart- O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above. <br /><br />Well, there it is. Brings tears to me just to hum along. I think I'l go fire up the old bag pipes and play it. God bless you wonderful folks.
