Wednesday's Words - Go To The Valley

6/20/2018

​Occasionally during this Summer of Songs I'll give myself a little challenge to keep me moving forward.  This week I've challenged myself to write a lyric a day, or at least start a lyric, after reading a chapter in one of my favorite books, "The Valley of Vision:  A Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions."  This book has been a deep well for me over the years and I so appreciate where it takes my heart and mind every time I read from it.  



A few years ago I was perusing it's pages and came across the chapter entitled "Jesus My Glory."  That simple phrase ended up being the starting point for a song I wrote a few years ago with Lee Black.  It has never been cut except by yours truly on my last album, which, funny enough, 
 (shameless plug)  you can download in my STORE. You can also listen to a little snippet of it - the link is on my ABOUT page.  

Jesus My Glory
Lee Black / Gina Boe
 
Any blessing I have known
Wealth or earthly treasure
No reward could measure
To the joy of knowing you
 
When I’m shaken by the storm 
Crying out for rescue
I will seek no refuge
Save the fortress of your name
 
CHORUS
Jesus my glory
Given to and for me
Surest hope and fiercest love
Worthy of adoring
Jesus my glory
 
For the cleansing of my heart
There’s no other fountain
But the mercy found in
Your redeeming, healing blood

CHORUS
 
Bound to you by matchless grace
Ties that none could sever
I will sing forever
This my song of endless praise

CHORUS
