Untitled Hymn

One of my favorite songs is called "Untitled Hymn". I am not exactly sure why it is called "Untitled", but I think the words can relate to everyone.

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

I find myself sitting in a back room in the Fox theater when I sing this song. I guess I allow my thoughts to wonder back to the Fox because that is where Clay had his heart attack. I am so thankful that he didn't experience his final heartbeat at that time. God had mercy and grace on us and allow Clay to have a second chance. I am so thankful. I think that we have found ourselves "living" more since then.

Amy, since I JUST found out you have a blog (through Facebook, of course)I scrolled down the page after reading your most recent entry. I have to ask. I see that you put the lyrics to Untitled Hymn as your post on September 18th last year. Is it just coincidence that you chose that date? I ask because it's the song Clay sang at Donna's funeral...and September 18th was 3 years to the day after she died...
