More about Jesus would I know

Love this song from I was a child, going church with my grandmother,

It has never left me
More about JESUS let me learn
More of HIS holy will discern
Spirit of GOD my teacher be
Showing the things of CHRIST to me

Whenever I sing this song I just want to be closer to GOD, the lover of my soul, HE who loves me more than how I love my self,

Thank YOU JESUS, YOU are worthy of all the praise, Hallelujah! Glory to Your name JESUS

"Spirit of God my teacher be

Showing the things of Christ to me"

The song serves as a reassurance to me that as I desire to know more and more about Jesus, I should fully rely on the help of the holy Spirit for I cannot to do it with my own personal struggles, but by surrendering totally to the help of the holy Spirit.

Eliza Hewitt wrote the hymn “More about Jesus” in 1887. She was born in 1851 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was trained in education, later becoming a school teacher in the public schools in Philadelphia.

One day, Eliza was struck in the back with a heavy slate (in those days children practiced their writing on slates and chalk) by one of her students who was very distraught. Eliza, being seriously injured, was unable to go back to teaching; but she did continue to be involved in Sunday School. After her injury, she spent most of the time indoors. While slowly recovering, she studied literature and wrote poems. At one point, she had a class with as many as 200 children. She was able in that situation to combine the two great loves of her life: children and Jesus. She later became superintendent of the primary department of the church when her condition improved. Even though she was able to work to some degree, Eliza still was in constant pain for the rest of her life. “More about Jesus” was one of the poems she wrote while she was incapacitated. It expresses her desire to know Jesus better, as is expressed in Philippians 3:10: “To know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. ” Through her pain, her attention was turned to Jesus and the desire to know the depths of His love.

Hearing his voice in every line
Making each faithful saing mine
wow
More about Jesus ,

am in love with Jesus this song gives me the righ words to confess about his love

The song has been a blessing to me since mý high school days 48 years ago.

I woke up with this song in my spirit. I first heard it as a child in church. Now I am a grown man and a minister of the Gospel. This song is an accurate and exact description of my deep hunger for more of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Oh that I might know Him; and the power of His Resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death. Phil. 3: 10

My favourite song... more about Jesus.

Lord Jesus, please give me the grace to love you more and more, loving your communion, loving your kindness and doing your will forevermore.

The Sweet Holy Spirit awoke me this morning with the words…
“More, more about JESUS”.
Press in to the only King of Kings and Lord of all.

Jesus is worthy of all our devotion. Praise be to the living God forever and ever, amen and amen and amen.

Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
OH LORD YOU ARE WONDERFUL
