Something for Thee - Syl­van­us D. Phelps

Savior, Thy dying love Thou gavest me.
Nor should I aught withhold, dear Lord, from Thee.
In love my soul would bow, my heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring Thee now, something for Thee.

O’er the blest mercy seat, pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to Thee.
Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer, something for Thee.

Give me a faithful heart, likeness to Thee.
That each departing day henceforth may see
Some work of love begun, some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won, something for Thee.

All that I am and have, Thy gifts so free,
In joy, in grief, through life, O Lord, for Thee!
And when Thy face I see, my ransomed soul shall be
Through all eternity, something for Thee.

 

Normal day today...Mya and Caroline were going to spend the day, but their momma got to stay with them instead of go to work - YEA! for her. Boo for us :) We are off to the Farmer's market for our veggi share. Monica spent the night at a friends house last night in celebration of finishing her summer-school math class - Hooray! Her senior year of high school starts Monday. Jacob will have a dad day and I'm off to the thrift store tomorrow, and early in at church on Sunday for music leading. Oh, God, in all my "walking" may I remember "something for thee".
