I need thee every hour...especially at 3 am.

I am up at 3 am (again). I suppose instead of grumbling under my breath and punching my pillows I should see that the Lord is "conditioning" this soon-to-be-up-all-night-again-mommy for the impending late night feedings (sigh). Without a doubt I can be thankful that this is the song He has swirling around in my heart during these early hours. Love the words. Actually stood in my kitchen today and let the words wash over me as big hot tears streamed down my cheeks. I am completely thankful for my friend, Jesus. His thoughts towards me truly humble and amaze me on a daily basis. I am, admittedly, undeserving of His great grace and His love. Thankful that He is my shelter and closest friend. I find myself singing at the end of this song the rich old hymn, "I need thee every hour". I so do. Thankful that He meets me here. Even 3 am. ;)

Sweet Jesus

And my soul is amazed
By this gift of Your grace
And these arms that take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
You are my faithful Friend

Sweet Jesus, my Shelter
You are my faithful Friend
The Refuge that I run to
When my world comes closing in
Why should I be afraid
When I know I am saved
By the arms that take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
You are my faithful Friend

Sweet Jesus, my Sheperd
You are my faithful Friend
You hold me, You lead me
I'll follow 'til the end
And once more I will say
On that beautiful day
When Your arms take me in
Sweet Jesus, my Savior
You are my faithful Friend

Sweet Jesus, my Savior
You are my faithful Friend
