dear refuge of my weary soul.

I know it's been a few weeks since i last posted...let me tell you, i am having SUCH A GREAT TIME, but I am exausted. This past week I've been feeling a little emotionally and physically drained, as well as spiritually dry. This song came on my ipod a few days ago...i love the lyrics and I love that Jesus invites us-in fact, LONGS for us-to come to Him. He invites us to come to Him saying "i'm weak. i'm tired. i'm worn down." After a week or so of tired faith, for this, I am thankful.

Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies
To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief,
For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust

Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace,
Be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace,
Attends the mourner’s prayer
Oh may I ever find access,
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend
Thy will, And wait beneath
Thy feet,Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet
