A beautiful song

I have heard this only a few times, but Sean played this early this morning and I had an encounter with Jesus. It's so beautiful. It's called "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" by Charles Wesley.
Come Thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our sins and fears release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art,
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child yet a king,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

  1. Never heard it. It's sounds nice. Did sean play it as in he played guitar & sang?

  2. that's the million dollar question. he COULD play it...easily. but no, it was on a website. i'm secretly waiting for God to ask him to step out of "the boat" and do music again...i pray it's soon.
