This hymn was part of my childhood. My mother and my aunts used to sing it as they did their housework. Here it is again, sung by the Choir Masters Assn. in Chennai, India–Just As I Am (Without One Plea).
[P.S.–Please pray for us. We are looking for a doctor for Patty, and have to walk on eggs until we find one.]
In 1873 Horatio Spafford lost everything–all his wealth (in the Chicago Fire), and his children, in a calamity at sea. And he wrote It Is Well With My Soul.
His hymn comes to us today from Chennai, India, sung by the Choir Masters Assn. in the Voice of Eden ministry. I couldn’t tell my wife about it without my voice breaking–the hymn is that beautiful, and it stirred my soul today.
There is some powerful Christianity coming forth from India!
I found this on the Voice of Eden channel: Just As I Am, sung in glorious harmony by a quintet from the Choir Masters Assn.
I can never hear this hymn without thinking of my Aunt Millie, whose pastor used to call her the church’s “ewe lamb.”
