There are times when I still get anxious about the future sometimes triggered by the oddest things. I love this hymn because it reminds me of God's love and faithfulness when "storms may howl and clouds may gather" and in its ultimate demonstration, the cross. Even if I could go back in time and change what has happened in the last 5 years, I wouldn't want to undo what God has done. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, Think what Father’s smiles are thine, Think that Jesus died to win thee, Child of heaven, canst thou repine? Henry Lyte's father abandoned him and his mother. He later remarried and wrote letters to his son and signed them "Your Uncle". He never let his son call him "Father". Can you imagine the pain? These words by Lyte are a testimony to the power of the gospel. (source: The Hymn Sing - Live in Nashville - Indelible Grace)
