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.
I can really relate to the feeling being expressed here through the words. In the beginning it starts with "unanswered questions" and ends with "Lord, though I still don't understand, keep me enjoying You". This is my experience where I find myself asking the Lord why this and that in my prayers, but then the Lord leads me to drink, to enjoy Him, and let everything be handled by Him.
I love this song because I realize that the Lord is using my every situation to perfect me. Though it may seem difficult at the moment, I should be one to say, "Amen Lord, use this situation to make me a living member of the Body of Christ."
I really like this song...because it touches my heart..."Lord make me a babe and suckling always praising, Enjoying Your worth day by day, Let each experience constitute me, So that Your life I'll display in every way". If we enjoy the Lord day by day, we will be constituted by Him!! The moment I sing this song, I can easily turn to my mingled spirit. LORD JESUS!! Make home in our heart!!!
There are times that we often caught ourselves in a a dilemma and we do not know what to do or which way to take but it is so comforting to know that though our strength and heart faileth He never fails... His arrangement is always the best..."Lord make me a babe and suckling always praising. Enjoying Your worth day by day. Oh! Let each experience constitute me so Your life I'll display in every way. Though I may not understand a thing right now Lord cause me to go on enjoying You that You may gain me fully until I see You face to face. This will be most glorious thing. To behold You face to face is all I ask for. Lord, thank You for loving me and for being my portion...."
I really appreciate this hymn. It moves me and draws me into Christ. I always pray unto Him that this may not just only my emotion, but an inward outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Oh Lord Jesus!!! Cause me to love You more. We may all boldly declare how we love the Lord so much. Praise Him for His recovery.
