I am debtor

When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glaring sun,
When we stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's finished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know
Not till then how much I owe.

When the praise of heaven I hear,
Loud as thunders to the ear,
Loud as many water's noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know
Not till then how much I owe.

Chosen not for good in me,
Wakened up from wrath to flee,
Hidden in the Saviour's side,
By the Spirit sanctified,
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.

Speak, O Lord

"Jesus answered him, 'Simon, I have something to say to you.' And he replied, 'Say it, Teacher.'" Luke 7:40

Is there something Jesus wants to say to you or to me? Do we want to hear it? Are we willing to hear it? Are we waiting to hear it?
