Revelation of the Spirit- #42 What A Friend We Have in Jesus

Ah, so I have to say that What a Friend We Have in Jesus is definitely one of my favorite hymn tunes. We sang it on sunday in church. Church was absolutely packed because of it being divine service sunday. But praise the Lord our chapel has been almost completely full this entire month. But as a result of the extra people we ran out Hallelujah chorus book. So as we sang this song I saw an older woman in our corps hand her chorus book to a girl just a little bit younger than me. Then as we sang the song she sat there with her eyes closed singing. She knew every word to like all five verses of this song. You could tell what she was singing she meant with all her heart. You could see that her heart knew exactly what it meant to have a friend in Jesus and that she not only knew him as her savior but as her best friend. And by passing those words on to the young she was giving her testimony. Saying I no longer need the words of this song they have been planted in my heart.

I just pray when I reach that age and by God's grace even before that with all my heart I can sing about what a friend I have in Jesus. My heart's desire is that.

Jesus I desire to know you more and to know you as the lover and friend of my heart.

Blessings to you all!
