I also woke with this song in my spirit.
After morning meditation. I did not know all the verses and wow how deep the theological insight! Thank you for the neat app. 40 years being loved by Jesus and learning to love Him back. The song put many tears on my face today!
Barbados
I woke up this morning with this song playing in my mind. It is such a beautiful song and the words are even more beautiful. May the sentiments they express be the real experience of all who know and love Jesus.
Arlington, Texas
This hymn is a thousand years old and just as relevant today.
Lagos, Nigeria
This is one of the songs that comforts me. When I sing it I feel my love relationship with Jesus. The pure love and the highest love that abides when others flee.
It sounds so beautiful, rings a bell that Jesus is always near.
