This is my world.-Charis

And can it be that I should gain

An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?

Died He for me who caused His pain

I was awed when we sang this song during one praise&worship session nung KC…raised an Evangelical, i was inspired to see my KCmates openly expressing their praise by raising their hands, closing their eyes and swaying to the rhythm of the "old school" hymn. nabless ako kasi i don’t get to see that very often.

(word to the Gencrossers: miss you all! i’m a senti person,kaya hindi siguro mawawala na maging a little teary-eyed ako when the first week of April rolls around…medyo nadelay lang ang pagrereminisce ko kasi nagstart ako kaagad ng practicum namin on April 2…*sigh*)

another thing I treasure is the message of the hymn. it reads like something out of a modern translation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, but the placement of the words are such that these have kindled an amazement of the almost incomprehensible love of God, that He should send His Son to suffer for my sins…our sins. i say that the love of God is almost incomprehensible, but what the my human mind can comprehend is the fact that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us".

….Amazing Love!

How can it be?

…that Thou my God shouldst die for me!
