Our conditions are like the weather,
sometimes fair and sometimes foul,
but the love of God is always constant.

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

—Isaac Watts, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”

“Doctrinal faithfulness without love becomes spiritually hollow, while love without truth becomes meaningless.”

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

—Robert Robinson,
“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

—Isaac Watts, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought:
My sin not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
—Horatio G. Spafford, “It Is Well with My Soul”

Resolved, in all of my life, and for all of my life, to lay my heart and soul open to God – meaning, all of my temptations, my sins, my sadness, my fears, my hopes, and my desires – holding nothing back from my Lord in any and every circumstance. (#65) - Jonathan Edwards

Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.’
