It is lovely. How can I download. When ever my heart is heavy, this hymn speaks calmness to my inmost heart
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Shalom people of God! Every time I listen to this song, I feel like leaving this world of sin to go and meet with my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My heart always melts in tears. Blessed are those or the one who got the divine inspiration to make the song. I truly believe that our heavenly father used them in a mighty way to bring lost children of God to the cross of salvation. There is not a day I don't sing or think of our divine redemption that draws near. I greet you all in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you endlessly!!!

Our Message this week is Christ, The Star out of Jacob, Numbers 24:17. Reading the outline this song came to me. It reminded me of one of our younger brothers who loves to sing this song at family gatherings in Oklahoma. So enjoy coming to this hymnal site to read all the testimonies. So encouraging, thank you.
