Lord, make me A babe and suckling always praising. Enjoying Your worth day by day. Let each experience constitute me So Your life I’ll display In every way.
In times of stress, tragedy, loneliness, loss of a loved one, depression and heart-aches that we experience in life brings us closer to HIM. I love the words of the song and sing and play the chords for the ukulele. His love is AMAZING.
This hymn was given to my husband and I yesterday after losing our baby boy at 5 months of pregnancy. The hymn has been with me as I've reflected on what beauty has come of a dire situation already. The Lord knows so many things that we don't see and He knows what we need for us to be drawn closer to Him. Of course I am sad that I've lost my first born but I am reminded and I've experienced that EVERY situation is an opportunity to turn to the Lord and grow in Him.
This song has brought me such hope in my current situation of trials. There are many questions unanswered but Lord, You are drawing me. I consecrate my life to You Lord Jesus.
Amen, Lord. Continue to strengthen me in my daily living. I want to stay in Your presence all the time that I could praise You whatever situations I may be in. Turn my view to see You. Lord make me a babe and suckling—always praising. I love You Lord Jesus!
Lord Jesus, You are my only Master whom I follow. Thank You so much for the blessings I enjoy daily. I always desire to consecrate my whole being and loved ones to You. Your being omnipotent I always think of. Continue to preserve me in the church life and dwell in my heart unto eternity.
