Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name- Prone to Wander

So my actual web address comes from my most favorite and one of the most powerful songs of all time. (My dear friend Emily actually just did a blog entry about it the other day- sorry em!) Come thou Fount gives me chills and makes me cry almost everytime I hear it. I know I'm a cry baby but its powerful. I am prone to wander, all the lyrics sum up what I feel on a constant basis and what I want to tell my Heavenly Father. Here are the lyrics...

1.     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 thy redeeming love. 

2. 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. 

3. 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, O take and seal it, 
 seal it for thy courts above. 
And here it is sung and it will give you goosebumps everytime.
The main title of my blog mostly just comes from how I feel about the last few years of my life :)
