Oh, My Jesus - Song Story |
Over the last few years, I have been left dumbstruck by the songs I have received and the varying ways they have been delivered. But Oh, My Jesus, like If I Have Understood, was sent through me immediately after I had confessed sin and asked for forgiveness. How humbling is that!
In the case of Oh, My Jesus, there I was. I had let a problem, which I had dealt with my entire life, once again become my focus. I was feeling rattled, dispirited, anxious, and helpless. And, perhaps, worst of all, I was feeling that I had lost all the victory I had gained over this circumstance. The problem had captured my focus and my eyes were no longer on Jesus. He had been knocked off the pedestal and had been replaced with a counterfeit who was taking me captive again. What misery I wallowed in! While getting ready for the day, I broke down and asked God to help me get things back into His perspective. I asked Him to forgive my lack of trust and to help me in my weakness. |
That’s when He sent me Oh, My Jesus. To my surprise as the song flowed through me, it was as if I could hear the powerful voice of Mahalia Jackson singing it to me. When the words “Now I’m freed in my weakness! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!” poured out, I melted because I knew my Heavenly Father had heard my heart’s cry.
