I am so grateful that God is generous with my heart! Braden brought back a bulletin from church today and as I nursed Tate, tears streamed down my face while I read this song. This is sweet encouragement to me.
PENSIVE, DOUBTING, FEARFUL HEART
(words by John Newton, 1779)
Pensive, doubting, fearful heart,
Hear what Christ the Saviour says;
Every word should joy impart,
Change thy mourning into praise.
Yes, He speaks and speaks to thee,
May He help thee to believe;
Then thou presently will see
Thou has little cause to grieve.
Fear thou not, nor be ashamed;
All thy sorrows soon shall end.
I, who heaven and earth have framed,
Am thy Husband and thy Friend;
I, the High and Holy One,
israel's God, by all adored,
As thy Savior will be known,
Thy Redeemer and thy Lord.
For a moment I withdrew,
And thy heart was filled with pain;
But my mercies I'll renew;
Thou shall soon rejoice again;
Though I seem to hide my face,
Very soon my wrath shall cease;
'Tis but for a moment's space,
Ending in eternal peace.
Though aflicted, tempest tossed,
Comfortless awhile thou art,
Do not think thou can be lost,
Thou art graven on my heart.
All thy wastes I will repair;
Thou shalt be rebuilt anew;
And in thee it shall appear
What the God of love can do.
