come just as thou art with thy woe

i sometimes get emotional when i hear this song, especially this verse:

The soul that on Jesus relies
He'll never, no never deceive.
He freely and faithfully gives
More blessings than we can conceive.
Yea, down to old age He will keep,
Nor will He forsake us at last.
He knows and is known by His sheep.
They're His, and He will hold, hold them fast.

it's called "poor sinner dejected with fear," and at first glance at the title, who wants to sing that? or "in thy wrath and hotness pleasure" for that matter. but when you hear the rest of the words of the song, it's clearly about grace, and the fact that His hand, once He has you, will always have you in His grasp. i guess it was titled that way because it's the first line of the song. a lot of hymns use the first line as the title.

in other news, i'm an idiot. it's called "june gloom" not "blue june." which makes more sense, i guess.

in still other news, i got to read the robert rodriguez half of "grindhouse." man. talk about gory. if they shoot the script, then it may be the most gory zombie movie of all time. i may not even go see it.

wait. that was a lie. of course i'm gonna see it.
