The Melody of Lent

 



 

Today, I want to offer space for you to name and notice your learnings this week.

What new insight did you learn that was meaningful?

What questions and beautiful doubts did this hymn awaken?

When did this hymn help you feel Nearer, My God, to Thee?

How might this hymn help you as we journey closer to Jerusalem with Jesus and creep up on Holy Week?

Sit with this hymn, letting the words and melody hover and hang within you and around you.  And may you sense more than a trace of God’s grace every day.  Amen.
