Day 21: Song

Day 21:  What song are you grateful for?

I am grateful for the song "Come Ye Disconsolate", the Indelible Grace version.  (Link to song above; full lyrics below.)  I listened to this song over and over when we first came home from the NICU with Joshua.  We would drive to and from appointments and I would play this in the car and try to rest in the fact that, whatever test or surgery or diagnosis might be coming down the pike, it would all be made right someday.

[This year, I also discovered that this song is Beth from "Little Women"'s favorite hymn, which is a bonus thing I'm grateful for.]

Lyrics:

1. Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, 
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. 
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; 
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

2. Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, 
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! 
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, 
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."

3. Here see the bread of life, see waters flowing 
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above. 
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing 
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove. 
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish.
