if there is anything to be thankful for in sweet little auburn, alabama, it is the amount of churches. there. are. so. many. good. ones. i guess you could call it a blessing and curse because i just can't seem to choose one.
on the other hand, i feel like i have found a home at auburn in ruf, a reformed university ministry. these past few weeks at ruf have been incredible, it is like a breath of fresh air. it is the one thing in my spiritual walk with that brings me back every week. God has already used SO much in my life, and i can't wait to see what he does with over these next years.
we sang this song at ruf the other night, and i fell in love with it!
Jesus, I Come
"Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
- Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Jesus, I come to Thee. - Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of earth’s sorrows, into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee. - Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy blessed will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair, into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee. - Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee."
