Sunday Meditations Blog Hop!

Today along with my normal Sunday Meditations post, I am hosting a “blog hop” specifically for scripture verses, hymns and spiritual song lyrics or poems that have encouraged you in your walk with Christ. I would love for you to join in and be encouraged through this “hop.”

O Teach Me What It Meaneth

O teach me what it meaneth,
That cross uplifted high,
With One, the Man of Sorrows,
Condemned to bleed and die!
O teach me what it cost Thee
To make a sinner whole;
And teach me, Saviour, teach me
The value of a soul!

O teach me what it meaneth,
That sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing
From Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other
Had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus,
Thine only, must atone.

O teach me what it meaneth,
Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper
Than depths of self-despair!
Yes, teach me, till there gloweth
In this poor heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection
Of that pure love of Thine.

O teach me what it meaneth,
For I am full of sin,
And grace alone can reach me,
And love alone can win.
O teach me, for I need Thee,
I have no help beside—
The chief of all the sinners
For whom the Saviour died?

O Infinite Redeemer!
I bring no other plea;
Because Thou dost invite me
I cast myself on Thee.
Because Thou dost accept me
I love and I adore;
Because Thy love constraineth,
I’ll praise Thee ever more!

by Lucy A. Bennett

This song pretty much always bring tears to my eyes and rejoicing to my heart as I think about the glorious salvation that God has given to me in Christ.
