R: Come Thou Fount/Mine Ebenezer

This morning we sang a hymn, Come Thou Fount. I have personally always liked the song, but I never knew what "Mine Ebenezer" meant.  So after we sang, I looked it up on the computer.  It said that it means Rock of help.  My Ebenezer story is that when I was watching things I knew I wasn't supposed to, God was my rock of help when he made a way for my mom and dad to find out.  I was so sad and repented when they corrected me and asked who else had watched with me.  I love all my siblings and I led them to watching things that are bad.  I would never want to make them turn away from God because of what they were watching.  That would be the last thing I would want.  I am glad God opened my eyes and this song is how I feel now. 
Here are verses 1 and 2.
                                                       
Come thou fount of every blessing, 
Tune my heart to sing Thy praise.  
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 God's unchanging LOVE.


Here I raise mine Ebenezer;  
Hither by Thy help I come.  
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, 
Safely to arrive at home.  
Jesus sought me when a stranger , 
Wand'ring from the fold of God.  
He to rescue me from danger, 
Interposed his precious blood.
