O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
by George Matheson, 1882

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be.

I had been singing this song a lot this past week. There were some very important decisions that I had to make. It wasn't easy making the decision because my husband and I didn't agree on it. I had to look up to God and tell Him "Thy Will Be Done", and trust Him that even if what I think I need to do does not happen because of my husband and I's disagreement - that somehow if I submit to my husband, God will work all things together for the good of our family.
