Gracie recorded this, one of her favorite hymns on Saturday, April 22 — her 96th birthday! Let that sink in for a moment. The hymn is My Jesus, I Love Thee.
It was a full day of birthday festivities with family and a few friends at the house. My niece, who lives in Austin came up so that her 16-month-old son could hang with his great-grandma for a few days. Here are three photos from the day…
Lyrics:
1 My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
for thee all the follies of sin I resign;
my gracious Redeemer, my Savior art thou;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
2 I love thee because thou hast first loved me
and purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow;
if ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
3 I’ll love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
and praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath,
and say when the deathdew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.
The BEST of the BEST celebration for Grace’s 96th birthday. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings upon Blessings and even more Blessings upon Grace and her life and her faith in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! ???❤️??
