God Changes Me

God Changes Me is a children's book about the doctrines of sanctification and the Holy Spirit. We need to be rescued from ourselves and from sin. The Bible tells us that change is possible only when a stronger power transforms us from the inside out. The Holy Spirit makes that change within us. Heart change leads to behavior change. In this book children will see examples such as temptation to disobey parents, the struggle to share, and the many big emotions that we all feel. Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is the perfect hymn to go along with this book. 

The hymn "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" beautifully complements the book's message by emphasizing the need for divine assistance in our spiritual journey. It highlights the themes of grace and transformation, underscoring how God's love and guidance can lead to personal growth and change. By pairing the hymn with the book, children can better understand the concept of seeking God's help to overcome challenges and embrace a life of faith.

Teaching the doctrines of sanctification and the Holy Spirit to children is crucial because it lays the foundation for their spiritual growth and moral development. Understanding these concepts helps children recognize their own capacity for change and the role of divine assistance in shaping their character. By learning these doctrines early, children are better equipped to navigate life's challenges with faith and resilience.

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

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

Here I raise my Ebenezer

Here by Thy great help I've 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

(Precious blood)

Oh, that day when freed from sinning

I shall see Thy lovely face

Clothed then in blood washed linen

How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace

Come my Lord, no longer tarry

Take my ransomed soul away

Send Thine angels now to carry

Me to realms of endless days

Oh, 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, oh take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart

Oh take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above
