"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" by Logan and Katie: When the Wanderer Finds Home


Logan and Katie - Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Have you ever felt your heart drifting away from what truly matters, even when you desperately try to stay faithful? “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a song that Logan and Katie grew up singing (and still are). It's a song that has spoken to generations and will continue to speak to future generations about the grace of God.

Their rendition of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" breathes fresh life into Robert Robinson’s timeless masterpiece—a hymn born from a rebellious heckler who, instead of mocking George Whitefield’s sermon in 1752, became a Christian three years later. Another three years later, when preparing a sermon for his church in Norfolk, England, he penned the words that have become one of the church’s most-loved hymns: “Come, thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace.”

This song speaks to the wanderer that we all have inside of us. When you hear Logan and Katie sing "prone to wander, Lord, I feel it," you're hearing a confession that has been repeated so many people over the years, a confession that is heard when one recognizes that redemption doesn't come through what we do, but through the "fount of every blessing" (= God, because He is origin of all blessings and the source of salvation).

Robinson's words are still just as relevant today as they were 250 years ago, because they mirror our daily struggle to remain fixed on God's love. So, listen closely as Logan and Katie invite you to surrender your wandering spirit to Him. May their harmonies seal your heart for the courts above.

(Related scripture: Ephesians 2:8; 1 Samuel 7:12; John 10:28)

Background:

Our version of a classic.

When we decided to make this project, we knew this was the first hymn we wanted to record. “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” is a song we grew up singing (and still are) that has spoke to generations and will continue to speak to the future generations to come about the grace of God.

"King Of All Nations" by Ezra Worship Initiative: Sing Today What Heaven Will Sing Forever

Your worship today echoes eternity. Ezra Worship Initiative trains young worship leaders through a ten-week, seminary-based internship. Their songwriters learn Scripture first and melody second. You can hear this in their latest release, “King Of All Nations,” a song written for congregations to sing. The song opens as a prayer: “May Your Name be proclaimed in all creation.” Who does the proclaiming? The Church does. The second verse asks God to “send Your Church to go and tell the gospel story,” which puts all who sing this right inside the request. Who on your street has never heard His name from you? Then the chorus lifts the roof: “All the honor, voices lifted to the King.” Worship here is not a performance. It is sung as a community, young and old, a multigenerational voice of praise. The bridge looks ahead. “All will come, and all will bow.” John saw the same moment: “a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, stan...

"Man of Sorrows" by Lauren Gruwell: Jesus Feels Your Pain With You

Jesus knows your pain before you speak it. Lauren Gruwell knows what it is when Jesus feels unreachable. Trauma in her childhood left her with deep sorrow, and for years Jesus seemed too far away. She didn’t think she was good enough to come near Him. Are you also familiar with that feeling? Do you sit in the dark, tears falling, and wonder: “… no one knows but if they did, would they care?” Lauren shares: “It wasn’t until He changed me, that I realized that HE has felt all the pain I’ve ever felt, and that He loves me regardless.” The Savior that she thought she couldn’t approach had already walked her road. This song, “Man of Sorrows”, grew from that discovery, and it carries a promise for anyone who hurts: “And all of my hurt, He felt it first…” . Jesus hurts right beside you. In Isaiah 53:3, we read that He was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” Then comes the line that changes everything: “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Our griefs. Our sorrow...

"No Other Name" by Joakim Arenius and Josef Tingbratt: Hope That Outlasts the Darkness

Darkness grips hard, but one name holds harder. Where do you turn when your strength runs out? Josef Tingbratt and Joakim Arenius wrote “No Other Name” for that moment. Their song follows a man who is “Restless weary and alone,” “So many miles from home.” Inner voices that treat him unkindly. Then a night raid brings brutal violence: “They tried to break his body down, but they could not break his crown.” Notice what he does when “darkness gets its grip.” He calls Jesus: “Jesus, Jesus hear my cry.” No fancy words, just a cry. The song grew where two struggles meet. Some believers face ridicule or violence for following Jesus. Others fight a quieter battle with loneliness and doubt. Both struggles need the same answer. Peter answered the rulers who questioned him in Acts 4:12: “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” He spoke with threats hanging over him. His confidence never rested on comfortable c...
