The first line of each stanza of this precious hymn caught my attention today. "Pray to fellowship with Jesus" reminding me of I Cor 1:9 (called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. ) Much thanksgiving to our faithful God for such a calling. In stanza 5, I'm very touched this morning by these lyrics - listening earnestly, being impressed and yielding.
What a rest, what a peace to simply yield, being in harmony with Him. I've enjoyed that experience to some extent In my life but am glad that each new day is an opportunity for more.
Pray to fellowship with Jesus,
Fully opened from within,
With thy face unveiled, beholding,
Single, pure, and genuine
Lord Jesus, make us men of prayer. Make us one with You in our prayer. Teach us concerning prayer for the church as the Father’s house! May we learn to be always one with God in all things by praying. Keep us praying, opening to You, and living in Your presence. 🙏
Pray to fellowship with Jesus,
Speaking nothing in pretense;
Ask according to the spirit,
Praying by the inner sense.
Pray to fellowship with Jesus,
In the spirit seek His face;
Ask and listen in His presence,
Waiting in the secret place.
The original title and words to this hymn were written by Joseph M. Scriven (1819-1886) in 1855. Scriven wrote this hymn to comfort his mother, who was across the sea from him in Ireland. It was originally published anonymously, and he did not receive full credit for almost 30 years. The title is commonly known as “What a Friend We Have in Jesus. ”
The music “Erie”, was composed by Charles C. Converse (1834-1919) in 1868. In WWI, the words were paired up with the tune to “ When This Bloody War is Over. ”
Wherever we go, whatever we do, we need to constantly abide in Him, not seeking a good life nor prosperity nor an outward guidance, but only Him alone. "Lord, I just want nothing else but to see Your beauty. I love You."
"I want nothing for myself, I want everything for the Lord!"
- Watchman Nee/M. E. Barber
A person who seeks nothing for himself but everything for the Lord is one who remained in His presence wholeheartedly, unreservedly. This will radiate His excellence.
