Every Hour
#332 Every Hour
When my Dad was in the hospital he was very upset with nurses taking care of his personal needs. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t use the bathroom. He was agitated and upset and seemed embarrassed. He became angry and combative.
But in the middle of this process in the hospital bed he began singing very loudly the hymn “I Need Thee every Hour”.
I was standing outside the door. Tears were streaming down my face as I witnessed how he lived the reality of his need for Jesus in EVERY circumstance, in every challenge.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
Who pardons all your iniquities;
Who heals all your diseases;
Who redeems your life from the pit;
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” Psalm 103:1-5
Our need for Him is continual, every hour.
His blessed provision and overruling over us is continual, every hour.
So may our praise be continual, every hour.
“I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1
