O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Sunday

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul on Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

O Light that follw'st all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee'
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine's glow its day
May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me thro' pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee'
I trace the rainbow thro' the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to hide from Thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

A message from Susan Kelly Skitt, blog owner and editor of Anna's Place

Why is this site called Anna's Place?

I feel a kinship to a woman who lived many years ago. Her name is Anna. The Bible says beginning in Luke 2:36, "Now there was one, Anna... She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years... and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day."

I got married to my highschool sweetheart, Gerald Alan Kelly, on September 7, 1985. We would have been married seven years but he died suddenly on June 30, 1992. Even though my life has taken a different path, like Anna of old, I seek to serve God with all my heart. One of the ways is through the share and prayer ministry of Anna's Place.
