My faith looks up to Thee

It's well with my soul

This particular song have been popping up my mind every now and then. I had to use google so I could sing it all to myself as it brings back some old memories from my days in secondary school. We sang it every Friday. “Shall o’er me roll “ good old days.

As inspiring as the hymn is, so are the voices from Nigeria to Him in beautiful concert ! Thank you all for sharing your faith for such a

Time as this! May God bless and keep you, for ever more and forever His!

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to sing hymns at our school assemblies as a child, it brings wonderful memories of the love and protection from God as a child and wonderfully still my faith continues to rely heavily on Gods amazing love. Thank you God for the gift of life and the journeys that has come with it.

My faith continues to look up to you Lord

God, take all my guilt away and let me from this day Sunday, 19th of November, 2023 be Wholly thine.

Amen and Amen.

This song dropped in my spirit on my way to church this morning. To my greatest surprise and joy, it was sang in the church today. So since then the song has stuck to my spirit. I have been meditating on the words and th impact upon my life. I have His Peace

From O Let me from this day be wholly Thine, to pure warm and changeless be a living fire, to Nor let me ever stray from thee aside, to consumating in thy grace being proven in me and the transformation of my soul. Amen Lord Jesus to this wonderful process. Work this out in Us corporately and me individually.

In his early 20s, Ray Palmer wanted to enter the ministry. But at this young age, he already felt exhausted and burnt out. Working at a dry-goods shop, studying at Yale, and teaching at a girls’ school, what he really wanted to do was to become a minister. But his schedule left him drained and depressed. One day, he chanced upon a friend, Lowell Mason, who was a musician and hymn-writer. On a lark, Mason asked his friend, Ray, if he wanted to contribute something towards a hymnal that Mason was putting together. Not having intended it for public use, Palmer sometime earlier, in a moment of despair, had composed the words of “My Faith Looks up to the Thee“. Showing these words to Mason, somewhat apologetically, Palmer was surprised to hear these words coming from his friend: “Ray, you may do many different things in your life, but I dare say that you will one day be the best remembered for these very words in your hymn “My Faith Looks up to Thee. ” Mason knew talent and inspiration when he saw it… and his prophecy turned out to be true! Though Palmer went on to enter the ministry, and wrote other hymns as well. He will always be associated with his first hymn, written ar a very low and lonely point in his life.
