Jesus, Jesus, Je..sus, Sweetest name I know.
Fill my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
1. There’s within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
In all of life’s ebb and flow.
Jesus, Jesus, Je..sus, Sweetest name I know.
Fill my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
2. Soon He’s coming back to welcome me
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high.
Jesus, Jesus, Je..sus, Sweetest name I know.
Fill my every longing, Keeps me singing as I go.
[Luther Burgess Bridgers]
Ephesians 5:18a,19,20 “…be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual song, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Colossians 3:16-18 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
The last two weeks, I heard from TV and several Deaf who talked about predicting “the trouble times” that is going to happen in the future and they became concern how we need to be prepared before Christ’s coming to take us home. Then yesterday inside my spirit, I seem to sense a strange “anxiety” and I wasn’t sure what to do. This went on until this early morning, blessed Holy Spirit, He sang to me this chorus: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know. Fill my every longing, keeps me singing as I go.” I found the song and words to sing. And also God’s Word of encouragement to speak ourselves in psalms and hymns that gives us peace in time of trouble. Holy Spirit encourages us: “Let us not be anxious, but be filled with the Spirit. Be filled with God’s grace and sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving. Be filled with God’s peace.” Thank you Lord for setting my spirit free from “anxiety” and help us to be at peace and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us during the trouble times in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
