Teach me ever to adore Thee, May I still Thy goodness prove, While the hope of endless glory Fills my heart with joy and love. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed his precious blood. Let thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind me closer still to thee. Such a beautiful hymn. Such graceous and wonderful love from my merciful Father. Thank you Jesus.

Album-specific Resources:
In the United States, the hymn is usually set to an American folk tune known as "Nettleton", which first appears in Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second , possibly collected by Elkanah Kelsey Dare , who was the musical editor John Wyeth himself was a printer. Asahel Nettleton also published music, so some attribute his namesake tune directly to him. In the shape note tradition, most tunebooks have one or more tunes other than "Nettleton" that use Robertson's lyrics, in part, or in whole, often adding a camp meeting-style revival chorus between each verse. Because most singers have the lyrics memorized, it can be sung at remarkably fast tempos without stumbling over the words. The lyrics, which dwell on the theme of divine grace , are based on 1 Samuel , in which the prophet Samuel raises a stone as a monument, saying, "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us" KJV. The English transliteration of the name Samuel gives to the stone is Ebenezer , meaning Stone of Help. The unusual word Ebenezer commonly appears in hymnal presentations of the lyrics verse 2.
Sooo, I guess my question is Did I dodge a bullet or do new residents go crazy, but eventually come back to their senses. It's really somethi g to watch a person who is so self absorbed. She went to BYU and did a 2 year mission, but since she was a girl she got to have a car instead of a bicycle. In the end, if the guy is the keeper you say he is then go with your gut. Best wishes in whatever you decide. And, whether she knows it or not she probably does know it but is in denialshe probably sees you as her ticket out of Oldmaidsville. The reality is that while God gave us a gospel of love and stands always ready to give us a helping hand, his mercy will not rob his justice. I am more compassionate towards people who I would have stigmatized earlier. How do you really feel about that.
