Count It All JoyYou made me smile again when I heard this rockin’ tune!!! I’ve loved singing and “wailin” on this fun number. I’m suggesting it to a director who asked for something from James 1, because I knew when I read that scripture that this is the one to recommend to her!
You rock, Curry!!!

Product Description

Lyrics
Do not I love thee, O my Lord?
Behold my heart and see:
And turn each cursed idol out,
That dares to rival thee.
Do not I love thee, O my soul?
Then let me nothing love;
Dead be my heart to every joy,
When Jesus cannot move.
Within the darkness of this heart
Other gods would vie for my affections
But Thou art exalted
Thou art exalted
Thou art exalted far above all gods!
Thou knowest I love thee, dearest Lord,
But O, I long to soar
Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more!
Amen.

Testimonials
Our choir sang the song, “Do Not I love Thee” a few months back and our youth just recently sang it. I now have it on my Mp3 player and listen to itfrequently. I wanted you to know that no song has touched my heart as much as this song. The words stir me and say exactly what I want to say to the Lord.
—Mrs. Marie Lang
