You are the Lord’s! O joy beyond expression!

O me of little faith, while I had prayed for it, I hadn't expected this to happen so soon. It was the greatest thing ever though. Me, praying with my sister! Sharing the same faith! Welcome onboard the ride of your life, dearest sis. Now this is what I call a miracle.. thank you God! :)

So it happened in that darkened room in the middle of the night, we covered the family with words of love and blessings and asked God for protection and open hearts.

And it was awesome. O joy! ^_^

I am the Lord’s! O joy beyond expression
Lyrics: Lucy Ann Bennett (1850-1927) | Music: Joseph Barnby (1838-1896)

I am the Lord’s! O joy beyond expression, O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith’s joyous “Yes” to the assuring whisper, “Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine.”
I am the Lord’s! It is the glad confession, wherewith the Bride recalls the happy day,
When love’s “I will” accepted Him forever, “The Lord’s,” to love, to honor and obey.

I am the Lord’s! Yet teach me all it meaneth, all it involves of love and loyalty,
Of holy service, absolute surrender, and unreserved obedience unto Thee.
I am the Lord’s! Yes; body, soul, and spirit, O seal them irrecoverably Thine;
As Thou, Beloved, in Thy grace and fullness forever and forevermore art mine.
