 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
