From the Hymns

**Is it weird that someone my age (Gen Xer) actually likes the hymns at church? I mean I like the much more modern songs that they sing on Christian radio too, but I like the hymns. As such I wondered what I could come up with simply mixing the lines of the hymns up and wound up with this poem. I will lean on the everlasting arms, because I am weak but He is strong. A mighty fortress is my God, and I will praise Him all the day long. I will turn my eyes upon Jesus because He lives and because He is a risen Savior who holds the future and I know that He holds my hand. Jesus loves me, this I know because of His amazing grace. So when the roll is called up yonder, I shall see Him face to face.
