Amazing Love (Charles Wesley)

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Still the small inward voice I hear,
That whispers all my sins forgiven;
Still the atoning blood is near,
That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

silliness

ug. so a few minutes ago, i went to put some dressing on my pasta. the lid wasn't on well. i didn't know. there was balsamic dijon ALL OVER THE PLACE. its thick and dark and it won't just wipe clean. if i was at home, one of my five or six living mops and vacuum cleaners could have helped. but i'm at work! so now there are TONS of paper towels in the bathroom trash that are covered with a dark brown slimy substance. it does make me happier to think about what patients will think when they see it. makes the mess, the cleaning, the frustration worth it. man i'm evil.
reminds me of the time that i put trash in a box and layered the trash with wilted rotting spinach leaves and crumbled pringles. i taped the box up and took it over to lenscrafters and told nathan the manager that i had accidentally recieved and opened a shipment meant for them.

of course he wouldn't open it because of past experiences with boxes that i've taken them. no i dont' have a reputation. plus, they started it by putting poly swarf in my trash can!!! (poly swarf: the waste generated by surfacing polycarbonate eyeglass lenses. it is either wet and nasty or dry and nasty) nathan forgot that i had trained in his lab years back and actually knew what it was...they were hoping someone here would just be confused. but no, they started a war. i put handful after handful in a box and stuffed it to the point that it would bust open if jostled and it would get all over nathan's suit. and it did. haha i'm quite proud of how juvenile i can be, aren't i?
