I Am His and He Is Mine

This Sunday our pastor will begin a series called Adoption Q & A. The series is planned along these lines...

• Sunday, November 28 - Why Should Believers Pursue Adoption? (And No, It's Not JUST Because the Bible Says So!)
• Sunday, December 5 - Is Trans-racial Adoption Wrong? (Red, Yellow, Black and White - Are They Precious In Our Sight?)
• Sunday, December 12 - If Jesus Loves All the Little Children, Why Are There 147 Million Orphans? (The Fall, Satan, and Demonic Hatred of Little Babies)
• Sunday, December 19 - Was Jesus REALLy Adopted and Why Does It Matter? (Looking at the Christmas Story Through the Lens of Adoption)

We'll be singing a hymn entitled I Am His and He Is Mine. Here are the lyrics written by George W. Robinson.

I Am His and He Is Mine

Verse 1

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 perfect peace

O this transport all divine

In a love which cannot cease

I am His and He is mine

Verse 2

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 over flow

Flowers with deeper beauties shine

Since I know as now I know

I am His and He is mine

Verse 3

Things that once were wild alarms

Cannot now disturb my test

Closed in everlasting arms

Pillowed on the loving breast

O to lie forever here

Doubt and care and self resign

While He whispered in my ear

I am His and He is mine

Verse 4

His forever, only His

Who the Lord and me shall part

Ah, with what a rest of bliss

Christ can fill the longing heart

Heav'n and earth may fade and flee

Firstborn light in gloom in decline

But while God and I shall be

I am His and He is mine
