I'm sitting here listening to that song right now. It is one of my absolute favorite songs.
It became my favorite about two years ago. I was living at Glenwood with Kerri, Becca, Nina, Courtney, and Audrey. At Glenwood they have a main building in the middle of the other buildings that has a big room with a piano, foosball table, pool table, tv, and other random things. Kerri would always go use the piano to sing her heart out and I would sometimes go with her just to lay on the couches and listen.
I was sitting studying for my anatomy test and Kerri comes and says, 'come on Claire come listen to me play.' So I grabbed my anatomy book and followed her over there. I laid on the couch and tried to start studying as she was playing the piano. I can't remember exactly why but I was really sad that day and was worried about different things in my life. As I was trying to study Kerri starting playing the most beautiful song I had ever heard. I immediately stopped reading and just listened to the music and then the words. It was awesome. I felt such love from my heavenly father as I listened to the lyrics and I felt like the weight of my worries was being lifted. It was just great. So yeah that's why come thou fount of every blessing is my favorite song. In case you were wondering.
I love that song too :) We listen to it in the car and my kids also love it. Definitely brings the spirit and makes me happy.
