Catch on Fire - September 18th

“Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you burn.” Charles Wesley When we fall in love with God. Our lives participate in this great romance of all times. In the marriage of the church with our groom, the Christ. When we burn with this love, when we are filled with awe and marvel, when it's not us but God in us. People will come, they will seek us. Because they have the need of love, the hunger of meaning, thirst for fulfillment of the soul. They will come to be close to God.

O God, my hope, my heavenly rest

6-8s. Exodus xxxiii. 18 - 23.

1 O GOD, my hope, my heavenly rest,
My all of happiness below,
Grant my importunate request,
To me, to me, thy goodness show;
Thy beatific face display,
The brightness of eternal day. 

2 Before my faith's enlightened eyes
Make all thy gracious goodness pass;
Thy goodness is the sight I prize,
O might I see thy smiling face!
Thy nature in my soul proclaim,
Reveal thy love, thy glorious name! 

3 There, in the place beside thy throne,
Where all that find acceptance stand,
Receive me up into thy Son;
Cover me with thy mighty hand;
Set me upon the rock, and hide
My soul in Jesu's wounded side. 

4 O put me in the cleft; empower
My soul the glorious sight to bear!
Descend in this accepted hour,
Pass by me, and thy name declare;
Thy wrath withdraw, thy hand remove,
And show thy self the God of love. 

Charles Wesley
