I wish I had written this... and wish I knew who did. It is a good paradigm for any writer of sacred literature - even sermons!
“Why
then do I write hymns?
- · To stir up my own awareness of God’s will and mercy,
- · to express my own need for Him and
- · to begin to render some genuine appreciation for His love,
- · to review my place in His plan for me and for humanity,
- · to refresh myself with His love so as to be able to feed others with it,
- · to experience His forgiveness so that I can forgive others,
- · to taste His peace so that I can be its instrument for others still at war with Him, with themselves, and one another, and
- · to look forward to God’s ultimate goal for me, for which I have been redeemed at so great a cost.”
