awesome lyric nuggets!!

so last night at ruf, we sang this song (i'll post the lyrics below)...when i've been listening to music lately in my car, i've been paying attention to lyrics more. it's actually a neat thing and something i don't do often enough, especially on sunday mornings! i kindof tend to go through the motions and sing whatever song is projected onto the screen in contemporary service. well, you are all probably familiar with these lyrics, but meditate and really consider what the author is saying...and how many times have you felt this way?!
"Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
hide me, o my Savior, hide,
till life's storm is past;
safe into the haven guide; receive my soul at last.

other refuge have i none, i HELPLESS, hang on THEE;
leave, oh leave me not alone,
support and comfort me.
all my trust on Thee is stayed,
all help from Thee i bring;
cover my defenseless head
in the shadow of Thy wing.

Thou, o Christ, are all i want,
here more than i find;
raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
just and holy is Thy name,
i am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin i am;
thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
grace to cover ALL my sin;
let the healing streams abound;
make and keep me pure within.
thou of life the fountain art,
let me take of Thee;
spring Thou up within my heart; for all eternity."

so really thinking about these words---i am convicted that my prayer to God is not usually "thou, O Christ, are all i want..." i mean, do i really want Him?! do i really desire Him? is my only refuge Him? is ALL of my trust stayed on Him? lately, i have been pretty discouraged and am having to study yet again for an exam i didn't pass the first time. it is taking everything in me to look positively and face the fact that i have to study and not take it lightly...but i also think how alone i feel in my situation and how i do need to trust God...and i want my prayer to become DAILY- thou o Christ are all i want...and be able to say that my desire is to have all of my trust in Him.
and i really like this verse...i probably see it in its out of context form (if that exists, which i'm sure it does), but i turn to this often. hebrews 4:15-16
"for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin. let us then approach the throne of grace with CONFIDENCE, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need". i get the notion it is talking about sin in this verse, and obviously about overcoming temptation...BUT i also just like the phrase that we do not HAVE a high priest who is unable to sympathize with us. i think of God as being some lifeform sometimes who is so perfect in every way that He can't even relate to me or my situations i'm going through. but how silly! because obviously throughout the Bible and throughout my life circumstances, He shows His abounding love and faithfulness.
cool.
