Come Thou Fount

     One thing I am learning, and have been learning this past year and a half, is that I cannot depend on physical pleasures to bring me peace and happiness. We, as humans, tend to strive for happiness by searching for things outside of the word of God for that one thing that grants long lasting peace. I tend to look for happiness through my relationships with people; what they can do for me, what I can do for them, etc...
     What I have been granted in return for depending on people and circumstances to bring me happiness, is misery, disappointment, and the realization that people are flawed, and that I cannot depend on them. This realization has been on the forefront of my mental stage for about a year now. I realize now that I have to look to the only person who never failed me, or backed down when situations were not only miserable, but life threatening. The only person in my life that I can look to and know, for certain, that He wont let me down. The Fount of every Blessing is the one thing I can go to and rest my tired soul when I've been running and couldn't stop. Christ is the the living water that I can drink and never be thirsty again, he is the way, the truth, AND the life. And not just a temporary life...but everlasting life. He gives me peace that will last, and that I can have if I just reach out and take it. If I rest in him, and ask for him to tune my heart to sing HIS praises, I can then have the streams of mercy, never ceasing. I love this song because because it holds so much truth and doctrine...and yes, it is beautiful as well. This is my rendition of "Come Thou Fount of every Blessing". I hope you enjoy it, and if you do not know the words, I have posted them below...
God bless :)

 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 
 tune my heart to sing thy grace; 
 streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
 call for songs of loudest praise. 
 Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
 sung by flaming tongues above. 
 Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, 
 mount of thy redeeming love. 

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; 
 hither by thy help I'm come; 
 and I hope, by thy good pleasure, 
 safely to arrive at home. 
 Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
 wandering from the fold of God; 
 he, to rescue me from danger, 
 interposed his precious blood. 

3. O to grace how great a debtor 
 daily I'm constrained to be! 
 Let thy goodness, like a fetter, 
 bind my wandering heart to thee. 
 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, 
 prone to leave the God I love; 
 here's my heart, O take and seal it, 
 seal it for thy courts above.
