Little did I know that my girlfriend at 15 years of age would become my wife at 18. This was in 1978 and this hymn was very popular in our Church choir, she sang soprano and I sing tenor....always very moving. Little did I know that 38 years later our youth group from yet the same church would sing this same hymn to my wife in Hospice as she was passing from breast cancer. We shared a beautiful life together with two blessed children....still faithful in the same Church. God is great for sure! Death only means that one of us is closer to God and with time we will be together again. Praise God, Praise the Lord Jesus and all of those that worked so hard rehearsing to create such a spectacular rendition. "To God be the Glory, great things he hath done"
God bless you. I hope you're still finding peace with God and your church family.
So sorry for your loss, keep on keeping on, eyes fixed on Jesus.
Hello David. Thank you for this beautiful testimony of love and faith. I'm sorry for your loss.
Your story reminded me of the very similar testimony of one of my friends.
When you have time maybe you can watch it.
The actual testimony starts at 9:20' 🙂

God is good, always.
Be blessed.

A very touching testimony! May God bless you!
1 Nearer, still nearer, close to thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious thou art.
Fold me, O fold me close to thy breast;
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.
2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an off'ring to Jesus, my King-
Only my sinful, now contrite heart;
Grant me the cleansing thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing thy blood doth impart.
3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be thine,
Sin with its follies I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride;
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.
4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last,
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages, ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to thee.
So touching...thanks to our God and His Son Jesus.
