All the way my Savior leads me ~ Hymn for August 2020

Sweet little Freedom Joy has been walking for a couple of months now.  We have all loved seeing her take those first few toddling steps.  You know the drill....someone stands the baby up and helps them get their balance.  Another person is a few feet away with arms outstretched, begging for the baby to walk to them.  Sometimes she would take a few steps and fall.  Sometimes she wouldn't even try and just plop right down.  Each time we would start over from the beginning.  Other times, and much more lately, she takes one, two, three steps towards the one with open arms.  Now, she is practically running and moving so quick and steady!

When I was looking through the hymnbook for ideas for the hymn for August, I came to "All The Way My Savior Leads Me"   The melody is beautiful, but the words are gripping.  They hold so much truth. It's one of those songs that you sit back and realize how much God really loves you.  He is like the one with outstretched arms, begging for us to come to Him. We take one step, then two and He cheers us on!  When we fall He comes to help us up.  He doesn't let us wallow there, but starts us back at the beginning and wants us to try again.  

Read the words to this precious hymn:

All the way my Savior leads me;
  What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
  Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
  Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
  Jesus doeth all things well,
For I know, whate’er befall me,
  Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
  Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
  Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
  And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
  Lo! a spring of joy I see,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
  Lo! a spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me;
  Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
  In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
  Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
  Jesus led me all the way,
This my song through endless ages:
  Jesus led me all the way.

The verse that I will be memorizing this month is Psalm 25:5

 "Lead my in thy truth, and teach me:  for thou art the God of my salvation:  on thee do I wait all the day."

It's going to be a great month!  My prayer is for Him to lead me, because He does all things well!
This my song through endless ages....Jesus led me all the way!
