William Cowper Battles Depression & writes "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood"

William Cowper met Jesus while in an asylum suffering from depression. His life was marked by a constant struggle with anxiety and depression yet in the midst of that struggle he found great joy in knowing that his pain was architected by a sovereign God who was leading him ever closer to Jesus. Out of this troubled life came beautiful and vivid poetry, including Cowper's most famous work "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood".
