Hymn From the Heart - Where Jesus Is, 'Tis Heaven

Today's Hymn From the Heart is dedicated to my friend in the ministry, Merlynn Randall, whose family has recently moved from beautiful, green Ireland to somewhere south of Phoenix... I can't imagine a more marked difference in scenery, unless it is between the lonely and barren Sahara Desert and crowded, bustling downtown New York City... 


Where Jesus Is, 'Tis Heaven
Since Christ my soul from sit set free,
This world has been a heav'n to me;
And 'mid earth's sorrows and its woe,
'Tis Heav'n my Jesus here to know.

REFRAIN:
O Hallelujah, yes, 'tis Heav'n,
'Tis Heav'n to know my sins forgiv'n;
On land or sea, what matters where?
Where Jesus is, 'Tis Heaven there.

Once Heaven seemed a far-off place,
Till Jesus showed His smiling face;
Now it's begun  within my soul,
'Twill last while endless ages roll.

REFRAIN

What matters where on earth we dwell?
On mountain top, or in the dell,
In desert, or a mansion fair
Where Jesus is, 'tis Heav'n there.

O Hallelujah, yes, 'tis Heav'n,
'Tis Heav'n to know my sins forgiv'n;
U.S. or Ireland, what matters where?
Where Jesus is, 'Tis Heaven there.
(Lyrics slightly changed.)
Listen to the Old Fashioned Revival Hour Quartet sing it here.

Wow, that would be a shock to the senses. But, yes, moving from a quiet, "lonely" place to the city is definitely sensory overload. I pray your friend will adjust well. Fortunately, sunshine is good for the spirits so it should help.

This is the inconsistent journal of a pressured lump of coal being ever soooo slowly conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm a child of God, preacher's wife, blessed mother of girls, frazzled homeschooler. If you are new here, please read
"Why Diamonds?".

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
1 John 3:2

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:2,3
