O Lord Jesus The radiance of Thy countenance wipes off my gloom-Thy sweet words lets go my sorrows

One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4

E.I Jacob who was born and lived in a traditional Christian home was saved after he heard the gospel. Subsequently he had to face oppositions from his society. He moved to a small house from the place where he was living. Many could not digest the fact that a learned school teacher’s son was saved and living for God.

The Malayalam song starting with “Mahimayezhum Parameshaa” (Oh Amazingly glorious Almighty God) was penned by him glorifying the name of the Lord.

In times which appeared like dark clouds looming, he beheld the rainbow of the covenant of God and was comforted.

When gloom comes upon him, he used to look at the face of Christ. The radiance of His countenance stripped off his gloom. Moreover the sweet words of Jesus washed away the sorrows of his heart and filled it with joy.

Hindrances did not put him down, for by the chains of love the Lord bound him close to His own heart!!!

Jacob used to go every morning into the presence of God for his needs and for the grace needed for every-day’s ministry. The result was that he lived, being filled with holy thoughts.

What a blessed life!

The song (Malayalam transliterated to English) which he sang is attached below. Let us sing and praise the Lord.
