Come Thou Fount

We sang on of my favorite hymns in church today, "Come Thou Fount." The third stanza is my favorite:

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace now like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."

It so reminds me of how much I need God and how much I can stray from him if I don't concentrate on daily prayer and study. How I long to be bound to God and not stray from him. It's certainly not God that moves, it's me. Singing this song just makes me want to cling to God and shout, "I can do anything with God. There is no fear in Him!" And I usually feel that assurance for a few hours till I'm feeling afraid and weak again.

But my heart's desire is to KNOW God and BELIEVE him so deeply that I feel bound and held by God. Please pray for me as I seek to believe more each day. And that this knowledge would give me courage to follow Him with my whole heart, whatever that means.
