To Carl, Jan. 18, 1945

May 26, 2004

Oh my God, my Elohim,
As Thy creature, made of dust,
And raised by mercy to a place
Of dignity and worth to Thee;
Nothing have I, am I,
Save by Sovereign Grace bestowed.
All, completely Thine I am,
As creature to Creator born.

Jehovah, LORD of life and light,
In covenant I stand to Thee
Redeemed, regenerate, unbound
By earthly and satanic wills;
Nothing have I, am I,
Save by dying Love outpoured.
All, completely Thine, I am,
As sinner by Redeemer bought.

Adonai, very Lord of all
Above, below, and underneath this realm,
Now drive Thine instrument divine
To make me evermore a slave;
Nothing have I, am I—
All is counted loss for Thee;
All is Thine—oh, use me, Lord!
As bondslave to a Master bound.

Wow, Paul where did you find this piece? Was it in one of grandma's journals?

mom, i have a collection of her pieces that i've been meaning to do something with for years. actually, i've had them since before grandpa died. he gave me permission to take them for a while, and since he passed away, i never returned them! but i guess it's just as good that way since they'd probably get lost or thrown away in the shuffle anyway.

but, shari and i have been talking about them for a while too. i just relocated them the other day and decided it'd be nice to put something online.

Would you like me to compile them?
