I know that My Redeemer Lives!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living Head.

He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.

He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.

He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I’ll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives, all glory to His Name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives!

* This is also another one of the many Hymns that I love so much! I do know that He lives and that He truly does love each and everyone of us. He does want us to return to His presence. He can help us if we but ask Him for His Help.

Come Thou Fount!

This has been one of my favorite songs for a very long time. We sang it almost everyday when I went on Heritage Tours. I even used it in a talk once on Gratitude. Here are the words:

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.

I really do love this song. I was so thankful that my family on Heritage Tours loved it as much as I did. Anytime we were in charge of a devotional we would sing this song. Just love it, so much.

I Believe in Christ!

This is one of my favorite Hymns:

I Believe in Christ

I believe in Christ; he is my King! with all my heart
to him I'll sing; I'll raise my voice in praise and joy, In grand
amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God's son. On earth to dwell his soul did
come. He healed the sick; the dead he raised. Good works were his;
his name be praised.

I believe in Christ; Oh blessed name! As Mary's
Son he came to reign 'Mid mortal men, his
earthly kin, To save them from the woes of sin.
I believe in Christ, who marked the path, Who did gain
all his father hath, Who said to men, "come,
follow me, that ye, my friends, with God my be."

I Believe in Christ-my Lord, my God! My feet he
plants on gospel sod. I'll worship him with
all my might; He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ; he ransoms me. From Satan's
grasp he sets me free, And I shall live with
joy and love In his eternal courts above.

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme! From him I'll
gain my fondest dream; And while I strive through
grief and pain, His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."
I believe in Christ; so come what may, with him I'll
stand in that great day When on this earth he
comes again To rule among the sons of men.

I do believe in Christ. I know that no matter what I am going through or struggling with that He is there to support and love me. I just have to ask for His help and He will give it to me. I know that He answers my prayers. I have had it happen before and it can happen again. I am so very thankful for this Gospel in my life. I don't know where I would be with out it. I can proudly say "I BELIEVE IN CHRIST!"

Where has the time gone?

It is hard to believe that come Monday Nate's 9 week stay in the mtc is up. He leaves bright and early Monday morning for Jackson. His flight leaves at 6:20 so that means we have the nice early phone call before then. I believe we are all sleeping with a phone by our beds so that we can all talk to him. Apparently He was told that one night when He was sleeping He slept talked in spanish. So that's a good sign! I am so excited for Him. He will have the best experience of His life.

Dressing up for work!

So it's that time of year again where I have to think about what I am going to be for Halloween. I have not been big into dressing up for Halloween for a long time. I don't like having to think about what I am going to be and trying to either buy it or make a costume. Last year I was a weird doctor. pretty sure I came up with that one the night before. I wore a purple wig, some scrubs and one of my dad's doctor coats. I also had our play toy doctor bag. But this year I think that I am going to be a pumpkin. Pictures to come of last years and this years. I just need to find which camera the picture of last years was on.

I AM A MORMON!

Doctrine and Covenants 115:4-5
"For thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
"Verily I say unto you all: Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations;"

The Church of Jesus Christ
I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know who I am. I know God's plan. I'll follow him in faith. I believe in the Savoir, Jesus Christ. I'll honor his name. I'll do what is right; I'll follow his light. His truth I will proclaim.

I know that my Savior lives and loves me. I know that this Church is true. I know that He loves me and is always there for me.I know that we having a living prophet today.
