The lyrics of this poem (hymn)have spoken to my soul like no other. During my life, my heart has had plenty opportunity to become hardened by suffering. God has pursued me shamelessly, and captured my life-He now owns it.
My faith in God is stronger now, I am not afraid to die, as long as I know He watches over me. He knows me, the truth-even if I lie to myself. I will take refuge in the way He wants me to live.
I need to preface my review by stating that I am an emotional guy who can be easily moved to tears. The soothing melody that accompanies the old English style lyrics smoothly brings one to a place of worship, recognizing both the reality of suffering and the hope of the Christian's victory over suffering. The clever turning of phrases, such as "nor death shall not my steps be guide" renders the lyrics a wonderful work in classical poetry. The song has found a permanant place on my worship CD.
