A friend and neighbor gave me an old hymn book a while back.\u00a0 I have thumbed through it a few times since, smiling as it brings to mind songs I haven’t sung since I was a kid.\u00a0 Every now and then I can’t help but stop on a page and hum or sing a few words.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
I must be getting old.\u00a0 Tonight I actually sat down with the hymn book and my guitar.\u00a0 I cracked the book open and flipped a few pages, looking for a tune to play.\u00a0 After a few casual page turns, I came to one.\u00a0 It wasn’t long until my fingers were picking, my mouth was singing, and my heart was beating to the tune . . .<\/p>\n

\nMore of His saving fullness see,
\nMore of His love, who died for me.
\nMore, More about Jesus . . .<\/em><\/p>\n
