So in the past few months I've really grown to love Indelible Grace music. I wasn't very familiar with it before, but now its almost all I want to listen to. They take old hymns and put new music to it, but its great! (This is coming from someone who usually throws a fit when a hymn gets a new tune.) Some time ago I posted the words to a John Newton tune that really spoke to me. Recently, there's been a new favorite, I often use the song or parts of it as confession and prayer. The words are by Isaac Watts. I hope you like it.
O Help My Unbelief
How sad our state by nature is!Our sin, how deep it stains!
And Satan binds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains
But there's a voice of sov'reign grace,
Sounds from the sacred word:
"O, ye despairing sinners come,
And trust upon the Lord."
My soul obeys th' almighty call,
And runs to this relief
I would believe thy promise, Lord;
O help my unbelief!
To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly;
Here let me wash my spotted soul,
From crimes of deepest dye.
Stretch out Thine arm, victorious King,
My reigning sins subdue;
Drive the old dragon from his seat,
With all his hellish crew.
A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus, and my all.
