Ten Thousand Charms

“In the arms of my dear Savior, oh, there are ten thousand charms.” These hauntingly beautiful words sung by Todd Agnew in Come, Ye Sinners, have burrowed themselves deep into my soul, holding it hostage, and not letting it go.  Ten thousand charms…

When I awake in the morning, this tune greets the day. And when I lay in bed at night, I count. I want to name each and every charm, and the best part is that when I get to 10,000 I will have only just begun.

And now I begin my list. Jesus, I love you because…

1. You love me. I love being loved!

2. You sought me out when I was blindly going my own way.

3. You put on skin. You felt what I feel.

4. You love Your Father. I do, too.

5. You sing songs over me in the night.

6. You forgive me, again and again and again…

7. You made rainbows (and You are the pot of gold at the end.)

8. You grow me gently.

9. You are compassionate.

10. You listen to me all day long and somehow still find it interesting…
