Today is Spiritual Journey Thursday, and like Margaret wrote about today, I am feeling a little unbound, unmoored, and trying to find my way in my new chapter of life. Peter, when Jesus asked if the disciples wanted to leave him, answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68) I, too, don’t want to leave, so I am claiming these truths today.
I bind unto myself today
Jesus–the Life, the Truth, the Way
I bind unto myself forever
The Love that cannot from me be severed
I bind unto myself the Power
of God, the one worthy strong tower
I bind unto myself the Name
of the One who o’er me has claim
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me;
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
