I love the words of this hymn

Posted in Inspirational

I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

1. I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
or to defend his cause
maintain the glory of his cross,
and honour all his laws.

2. Jesus, my Lord! I know his name;
his name is all my boast;
nor will he put my soul to shame,
nor let my hope be lost.

3. I know that safe with him remains,
protected by his power,
what I've committed to his trust
till the decisive hour.

4. Then will he own his servant's name
before his Father's face,
and in the new Jerusalem
appoint my soul a place.

Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)

***IMPORTANT***: you need a percolator style coffee pot to make this.
DO NOT use a drip style coffee maker to make this syrup!!!!!

* Make one pot of coffee, then discard the grounds.
* Add fresh grounds, percolate again, with the coffee as liquid, not fresh water.
* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.

* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
