Happy Sabbath!
You know how sometimes you just get this memory of a song from way back, and it just comes bubbling up to the surface? Well that is what happened to me this past week. I have no idea what made me start thinking of this song, as I haven't been anywhere where they were singing this song for probably years. But once it flitted across my mind, it couldn't help but start spilling out. It was the song "In My Heart there Rings a Melody." Are you familiar with it? Just in case you aren't, I have included a link that should take you to a site where you can not only read the words, but it can also play the song to listen to it--AND even print out the sheet music if you are musically gifted and can play music!
Such a simple song, but such a deep message.
"I have a song that Jesus gave me
it was sent from heaven above
There never was a sweeter melody
Tis the melody of love. . . "
It makes me wonder.
All that Jesus has given to me--I have nothing worthy to give back to Him.
But He doesn't want a gift from me. He wants my heart.
Yet even my heart is ugly with sin. Who would want a gift like that?
Amazingly, He would.
And He moves right in.
And grabs the broom.
And starts cleaning.
And when He is done-
All you can see is Him.
And it sparkles.
