Because the best way to remember is through song...have i stated here how much i love girl's caregroup? 'cause i do. very much so. and we are reading the above shown absolutely fabulous book in GCG and entertaining great thoughts of God. But i, being a bear of little brain and too much sin, am far too easily distracted in battling pride and cultivating humility. and then i stumbled across my CD of Caedmon's Call "In the Company of Angels", and heard this song: No more my God, I boast no more Of all the duities I have done I quit the hopes I held before To trust the merits of Thy Son. No more my God No more my God No more my God I boast no more. Now for the lost I bear His name What was my gain is no my loss My former pride I call my shame And nail my glory to His Cross No more my God No more my God No more my God I boast no more. Yes and I must I will esteem All this as loss for Jesus' sake Oh may my soul be found in Him And of His righteousness partake Amen The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before Thy Throne But faith can enter Thy demands By pleading what My Lord has done. No more my God No more my God No more my God I boast no more. how easy a reminder to cultivate dependence on God and humility before Him when there is such a trebled reminder: 1) I can do nothing of my own accord, therefore 2) I have nothing to boast of before God. But even if I do sinfully boast, 3) the work of Jesus on my behalf covers all my sin and reminds me once again that I can do nothing of my own accord. Such a vital truth to remember! Such an easy way to do so! |
