And Can It Be? (Sagina)

In this hymn Charles Wesley is simply asking, "Why me? How did I get so blessed, that I would seek after the saving work of Christ?" Our world, our children, and even our own hearts tend to ask a different kind of "Why me?": "Why do I have it so hard?" Wesley's opening line is the complete opposite. He is essentially asking, "Why should I get anything this good?" This question, unanswerable as it may be, was a true mark of grace upon Wesley's life. – April Brover
