Hymn: All my life long I had panted

\tAll my life long I had panted
For a draught from some cool spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning
Of the thirst I felt within.
\tHallelujah! I have found Him
Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings;
Through His life I now am saved.
2
Feeding on the husks around me,
Till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better,
Only still to hunger on.
3
Poor I was, and sought for riches,
Something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me
Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.
4
Well of water, ever springing,
Bread of life, so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth,
My Redeemer is to me.

Makes me smile to hear men, women, children and babies singing with great zeal and with harmony. This has been lost to a whole generation or two in American life.I thank God for the Mennonite communities that preserved a way of life that the average American has lost connection with.

Lord, restore us. Have mercy on us. Remember us and our brokenness.
In Jesus I pray.

amen!!!

Amen Frank

It is all about Jesus.

"Jesus satisfies my longings
Through his life now I am saved."

Sometimes I throw the baby out with the bath water (to use a bad cliche).
He brings us life no matter our surroundings.

Hallelujah, what a Savior!
