Over the years I've featured hundreds of great hymns on this blog. I've shared their history and things about the authors. But in doing that I'vs skipped blogs about great choruses. Many of these have been blessings to me over the years and I hope to share them with you.
My physical problems have also limited my ability to do research on hymns and my emphasis has changed. Now I hope to share my personal testimony rather than write about the background. As I am doing extensive downsizing I came upon a chorus I haven't heard in years and the message is so true. The longer I deal with the problems of life today, the more I look forward to the day when I will see the Lord's face.
Traveling here can make us weary but the longing to see Him makes the travel worthwhile
.Now, please don't misunderstand me, I don't want t leave my wife and family. But the prospect of seeing Christ makes the tedious journey here worthwhile. As Dorothy Masters wrote,
"I've a longing in my heart for Jesus, I've a longing in my heart to see His face; I am weary, oh so weary of traveling here below, I've a longing in my heart for Him."
