The Most Tender And Touching Tune

If I were to confess the most tender song on my play list, "tender" meaning, the song that touches my heart most deeply, it would have to be Chris Rice's tune titled "The Untitled Hymn", yet called by other "Come to Jesus". One day this week I listened to the song through my ear phones for over an hour. The YouTube link is pasted and the lyrics are printed below. Hope it touches you tenderly, too.

Grateful

Note: The Youtube Link will keep playing others songs after "Come to Jesus", like  "Come Thou Fount".

Weak and wounded sinner 
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
