I am His and He is Mine

George W. Robinson

Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.

Heav’n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen;
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine.
Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast.
O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.
While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav’n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.
But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

There are many good things to ponder in this song;

We are loved with an everlasting love.
Grace that leads us to know that Love.
His gracious Spirit teaches us.
We can have full and perfect peace in Him.
His love cannot cease.
Through His eyes we can see His creation much differently.
There are no emergencies in Jesus' arms.
We are forever His and we can rest in Him forever.
We can have the sweetest rest as He fills our hearts.
I am His and He is mine.
I am His and He is mine.

In a world of crazy times; when every trusted thing is suspect, we can rest in knowing that He came to earth to save us and call us unto Himself and He loves His children. As a perfect Father, He gives us what is best. Sometimes what is best for our children is discipline and sometimes it is bringing them close to us and whispering that they are loved. Our Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need and when we need it.

If today you're unsettled about something, you can rest in the fact that you are His and He is yours. What an amazing treasure we have in Him. What else could we ask for or desire than the perfect gift of Heaven? When everything else is falling around us, we can rest in knowing that He is our inheritance and we are His children.

Ps 107 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
