"Circumstance does not make the man. Circumstance reveals man to himself."
--Emerson

#25 Lord! How I Love Thee!
Infinite, all-wise, compassionate God!
How oft I have thought of the path Thou didst trod.
Brief years on earth were a tale of deep woe,
For suffering and sorrow was all Thou didst know.


O Lord, all Thy beauty I hardly can trace;
Mighty in power, You flung into space
Planets in orbit, and stars made to shine;
But wonders far greater were meant to be mine!


Saviour and Sovereign! How gracious Thou art;
Willing and able to dwell in my heart!
Bringing full pardon and cleansing for sin;
Causing the joy bells to echo within.


Thrice holy! Unblemished in all of Thy frame,
I marvel to think I may call Thee by name!
But grace so amazing, so deep, and so wide,
Has drawn me, ever so near to Thy side.


To Thee be all glory, now and for aye!
offerings of worship I bring Thee today;
And bowed low before Thee, here is my all;
Yielded this moment to Thy beck and call.


Lord, how I love Thee with all of my heart.
Still I must follow; ne'er to depart!
Soon, all the shadows of night will be past;
Then, t'will be glory—with Jesus at last!

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
