  • Thou hast not that, My Child, but thou hast Me,
    And am not I alone enough for thee?
    I know it all, know how thy heart was set
    Upon this joy which is not given yet



    And well I know how through the wistful days
    Thou walkest all the dear familiar ways
    As unregarded as a breath of air
    But there in love and longing, always there


    I know it all; but from thy brier shall blow
    A rose for others. If it were not so
    I would have told thee, come, then say to Me:
    "My Lord, my Love, I am content with Thee"


    My Lord, my Love, I am content with Thee


    Poetry by Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) - Missionary to India
    Song by Jim Spencer www.jimspencermusic.com

  • This is my heart's cry and prayer today, too.  "My Lord, My LOVE, I am content with Thee." 

  • Love to read Amy Carmichael's writing. Would love to hear the song. Has your pastor put more of her work to music?
