Psalm 51; Isaiah 30:15–18; Hebrews 4:1–13
Fix Me, Jesus
Refrain:
Oh, fix me;
Oh, fix me;
Oh, fix me;
fix me, Jesus, fix me.
Fix me for my long, white robe;
Fix me, Jesus, fix me.
Fix me for my starry crown;
Fix me, Jesus, fix me.
Fix me for my journey home;
Fix me, Jesus, fix me.
Fix me for my dying bed.
Fix me, Jesus, fix me.
—Songs of Zion, 122
Computers need fixing. Cars need fixing. Doors need fixing. We don’t normally hear, “We need fixing.” We can travel throughout life, going about our daily routine, without any thought about our need. We go to work. We come home. We eat. We sleep. And then the next morning we start all over again, and perhaps without any mind of how we are doing. I didn’t say what we are doing, but how. In assessing our lives, honestly, we will realize that we need fixing too. Everything is not always right with us—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically, relationally.
This simple spiritual tells it all—fix me. Not “fix him” or “fix her” or “fix them” or “fix us.” Fix me. It’s me who needs help. It’s me who needs fixing. It’s personal. What in your life needs fixing? Jesus is the faithful fixer. Ask him to fix you. May you have eyes to see where you need fixing.
Prayer for the Day
Fix me, Jesus, fix me.
