Christ Has Taken Our Nature

I Compare The Troubles Which We Have To Undergo In The Course Of The Year To A Great Bundle Of Sticks, Far Too Large For Us To Lift. But God Does Not Require Us To Carry The Whole At Once. He Mercifully Unties The Bundle, And Gives Us First One Stick, Which We Are To Carry Today, And Then Another, Which We Are To Carry Tomorrow, And So On. This We Might Easily Manage, If We Would Only Take The Burden Appointed For Us Each Day; But We Choose To Increase Our Troubles By Carrying Yesterday's Stick Over Again Today, And Adding Tomorrow's Burden To Our Load, Before We Are Required To Bear It.

Through Many Dangers, Toils And Snares, I Have Already Come; 'tis Grace Has Brought Me Safe Thus Far, And Grace Will Lead Me Home.

Amazing Grace! How Sweet The Sound That Saved A Wretch Like Me! I Once Was Lost But Now Am Found, Was Blind But Now I See.

We Can Easily Manage If We Will Only Take, Each Day, The Burden Appointed To It. But The Load Will Be Too Heavy For Us If We Carry Yesterday's Burden Over Again Today, And Then Add The Burden Of The Morrow Before We Are Required To Bear It.

How Sweet The Name Of Jesus Sounds In A Believer's Ear! It Soothes His Sorrows, Heals His Wounds, And Drives Away His Fear.
