In the song “Come Thou Fount”written by Robert Robinson it sings of grace. Grace can be defined as the love and mercy given to us by God because God wants us to have it. Where Robert sings “Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. “I think it is asking God to show us how to sing like angels, day and night singing holy holy holy is the lord God almighty. What is Robert singing when he says, “Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come.” Well in the book of 1st Samuel it says, “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, and named it Ebenezer; for he said, "Thus far the LORD has helped us.” So an Ebenezer is a stone that represents when God helped Samuel in battle. But in the song Robert saying that God has helped him in his walk with God. And daily is Robert constrained to be like the lord who has grace on us who are sinners and deserve death.
I definitely agree with you that the sings about grace. I also really like in the second sentence how you define grace.
