Listen to the beautiful song ‘Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)’ performed by Chris Tomlin and be reminded today of all the blessings that God gives us.
“Come thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace, streams of mercy
Never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise, teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above, praise the mount I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love, here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I'm come”
Hymns like ‘Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing’ have withstood the test of time. It was written back in 1758, but church congregations still sing out these lyrics today.
As the hymn says, Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God. Jesus came to us while we were still sinners, not after we had cleaned ourselves up and gotten our acts together. He came right into the middle of our wandering.
The message of the song still resonates with believers, and Chris Tomlin’s rendition continues to remind us that God is by our side. His love and mercy reign down on us each and every day, and what a blessing that is! I am forever grateful that Christ pursued me and poured out His grace upon me, and songs like this are great reminders of that.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Chris Tomlin’s version of ‘Come Thou Fount (I Will Sing)’ today and the song was able to bring you some encouragement. Let us use these words to sing of His many wonders and unconditional love.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
