"Come Thou Fount (Above All Else)" Lyrics:
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of the redeeming love.
Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, Lord take and seal it,
seal it for thy courts above.
Above all else I adore your name,
above all else tune my heart to sing your praise!
Above all else I adore your name,
above all else tune my heart to sing your praise!
Above all else I adore your name,
above all else tune my heart to sing your praise!
Above all else I adore your name,
above all else tune my heart to sing your praise!
The highest praise, the loudest praise, to the name above every name!

Reflection:
The Name of Jesus is to be highly exalted. So often we abuse the Name; many times we
ignore it. This song, Come Thou Fount
reminds us to cherish the Name, which is above all names. There is power and strength in the Name of
Jesus. The singers, Shane & Shane,
encourage us, above all else, to adore the name of Jesus; above all else to
tune our hearts to sing Him praise, to"the highest praise, the loudest
praise, to the name above every name!"
Let us worship, praise and honor the Name of Jesus.
John 14:12-14 -"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will
do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going
to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. If you ask
anything of me in my name, I will do it".
Philippians 2:9-11 - "Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father"
