As I mentioned yesterday, we sing a hymn during our worship time everyday. We then go over vocabulary that may not be familiar, especially to the younger kids. For today’s Lenten Journey I thought I would define some of the more “theological” terms and phrases from the hymn Come to Calvary’s Holy Mountain that other’s may not be familiar with.
- contrition – sincere repentance or remorse
- remission – pardon; forgiveness, as of sins or offenses.
- “defiled without, within” – dirty or unclean in every part
- “live forever” – Eternal life in Heaven

My guys have learned some of their most impressive vocabulary words through religious education, church, and hymns.
A great way to break down the hymns.....explaining unknown words.
Our daughter asks what words mean, I never thought until now that I could be proactive and not wait for her to ask.
