Jesus, lover of my soul

What a comfort to sing this song and to be reminded that God is there!

I’ve been in a pit for a while now but I’m reminded even through my storms I can go straight to the Savior. I just have to love the living Christ, that’s all I can do!!

"But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)

A great blessing in times of challenges and difficulty in getting to the other side. He has always seen me through. Believe He will also again take me/ us to the other side.

A great blessing to my soul this morning. Hallelujah

Jesus lover of my soul, those five (5) words makes it personal. The hymn is comforting now and will be at the time of our departure. I learned this hymn as a child, I can still hear the congregation singing this hymn. Thank you for posting this timeless hymn.

Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.

Thank you for keeping the old worship way alive.

This is about passing into eternity but it also applies in every transition and struggle we may find ourselves. Passing through the death of a marriage or separation from a place of hypocrits or leaving behind the world, Jesus alone is our refuge and strength.

I watched a movie about the coal landslide in Aberfan Wales, UK that took over 100 lives, most of them children in a school. It was so touching. One my favorite hymns. So comforting.

I want this poignant, beautiful hymn sung at my funeral. It says it all.
