Only Jesus can fill the longing in our souls. Listening to this hymn stirs my holy emotions. I sing this hymn as a prayer, telling the Saviour how much I need him. My heart says amen to every line of this hymn. Without him, life is vain. I thank the Lord for the inspired hymns he’s given to the Church.

We need Thee Lord every hour every day during these days in the wilderness of the world of great needs. Only You can provide for all our needs, spiritual, emotional, physical and every need. Teach us to trust in You and Your promises and not to murmur and blame people or circumstances. Teach us to pray to You and speak to You and You will give us living water out of the Rock!

Every morning I take our little puppy outside at about 6:30 am...... there's always a robin gathering worms for her babies, so faithful and precious, really blesses my heart! But this morning I wondered where she was as I scanned the yard, didn't see her. As I sat down this hymn came to mind, and I began to sing....... as I sang this beautiful song the robin emerged from over by the pond, coming in my direction! I was very moved by it, it's as if the Lord was saying, "I am here and ever faithful to help, guide and comfort you, just as I've placed my beautiful wildlife before you as a reminder..... I care for the birds of the field, I'll care for you". The Lord is so good, yes,. we need Him every hour! Lord bless you all!!
