Hymnes

I was reading from my Dakar hymnal again. I have long forgotten many of the tunes and now the words are simple praise poetry. 

Two struck me, their translations here: 

You didn't wait for me to come to You 
But You lived with our humanity 
You didn't wait for me to cry out to You 
It's You who called me first...


Jesus didn't wait for me! He loved me before I ever wanted to want to love Him! 

O Jesus, I rest in what I know of You
What marvelous thing Your love for me 
To me You have made Your divine beauty known 
And have transformed all my being for eternity. 

So that's where my heart is know. Ever being pursued by Christ. 

Yes, Elizabeth, pursue ;)
