Isn't that true that once you become a Christian you start to realise that GOD has been dealing with you much before you actually came to know Him? How many comforts, graces and blessings were bestowed on our infant hearts much before we could appreciate them!
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I am lost
in wonder,love and praise.
Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
before my infant heart conceived
from whom these comforts flowed.
When worn with sickness often has Thou
with health renewed my face;
and when in sins and sorrow sunk,
revived my soul with grace.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ
nor is the least a cheerful heart,
that tastes those gifts with joy.
Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death in distant worlds
the glorious theme renew.
Through all eternity to Thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
but O! eternity's too short
to utter all Thy praise!
Joseph Addison, 1642-1719 ( 121, Christian Hymns)
