Do You Have Roommates?
Now I am not really a religious guy. I don't like religion. The whole
organization part of it just doesn't seem right. Something about expecting
everyone to be the same and act the same is a little off when everyone
is their own person and unique in every way, it just doesn't work.
But I was doing my normal nightly youtube browsing and a came across a song
that I sang when I was in high school and I have fallen even more in love
with it. MO-TAB is definitely one of my favorite choirs in the world. Yes,
I think it has something to do with my Mormon background, but really, they
are truly awesome. I still get the chills whenever I listen to this song.
Here are the lyrics:
Come thou fount of every blessing
tune my heart to sing thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here my heart, oh take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.
Jesus sought me, when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here my heart, oh take and seal it.
Seal it for thy courts above.
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here my heart, oh take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.
I have yet to realize why I like it so much, but I do.

This has always been my favorite song as well not quite sure why.
