My Savior My God

Boy, talk about being clueless as to songs to be found in the hymnal. I’ve been going through the hymnals I’ve got in the office, and I ran across I Am Not Skilled to Understand. I thought, wow, this is a really up to date hymnal. Duh! Aaron Shust used this old (1873) hymn by Dora Greenwell as the basis for his song. By the way, I still take issue with the chorus. I contend that he could have easily said My God He was, My God He is, My God He always will be, rather than always gonna be. I cringe every time I hear that.
