Backgroud music

I just learnt to put background music on the blog, haha. =P I don't know how often I'll change it though. hehe

Anyway this first midi that I put (if at the time that you are reading this it's still that one) is "When This Passing World is Done". It's a hymn with words by Robert M. McCheyne. He wrote books and stuff as well. I particurlarly like these few stanzas below:

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 I stand before the throne,
Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with unsinning heart,
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 Savior’s side,
By the Spirit sanctified,
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.


The yellow ones are the repeated lines that I like. I think it is important to know how much we owe God. It's only this that a christian may humble himself/herself more constantly, and strengthens his/her ability to praise the Lord.

The green ones are lines which always speaks to me when I read/sing this hymn. They are meaningful.
