How Often I Wish That When Jesus Was Here – Hymn Lyric
How often I wish that when Jesus was here-
When He mingled with children of men;
How gladly I’d gather with those who were near,
While His blessing He gave unto them.
Refrain:
He blessed them then, He’ll bless me, too,
He’s living now in glory, and He’ll bless me, too.
But when I remember how homeless and sad
He wandered that weary land o’er,
It leads me to singing, rejoice and be glad,
He liveth above evermore.
[Refrain]
I’ll try to be faithful and patient and true,
And lovingly seek Him in prayer;
He kindly will help me my duty to do,
Until His sweet home I shall share.
[Refrain]
Meaning of How Often I Wish That When Jesus Was Here
How Often I Wish That When Jesus Was Here
Oh, how wonderful it would have been if we had been alive during the time when Jesus walked among us! Can you imagine being there, right by His side, as He mingled with the children of men? I can’t help but think about how amazing it must have been for those lucky enough to experience His presence and receive His blessings.
In my mind, I can picture a scene where Jesus is surrounded by people, young and old, rich and poor, all gathered around Him, eager to hear His teachings and feel His love. I see children running towards Him with open arms, ready to receive His blessing. And as they draw near, Jesus smiles with love in His eyes, knowing just how important it is to make these little ones feel valued and cherished.
You know, it’s really comforting to think that even though we may not have physically been there with Jesus, we can still feel His blessings in our lives today. His love and grace transcend time and space, and He is with us always, even now, as He lives in glory.
I can’t help but be filled with joy when I think about how Jesus, despite all the hardships He faced during His time on Earth, continues to bless us even from above. As the hymn says, He is living in glory, and He is still bestowing His blessings upon us.
But let’s take a moment to reflect on something else. Have you ever thought about how Jesus must have felt as He wandered through that weary land? He had no place to call home, no permanent dwelling where He could lay His head. He experienced sadness, loneliness, and the weight of the world on His shoulders. Yet, even in the face of all these challenges, He remained steadfast and stayed true to His mission.
When I think about this, it fills me with a sense of awe and gratitude. Jesus endured so much for us, and yet, He found the strength to keep going. This realization fills my heart with a desire to sing and rejoice, knowing that He not only overcame the world but also conquered death and lives on eternally.
In response to Jesus’s sacrificial love, I want to strive to be faithful, patient, and true. I want to seek Him in prayer and allow Him to help me fulfill my duties in life. I know that with His guidance and support, I can find the strength to persevere and overcome any challenges that come my way.
And here’s the beautiful truth – Jesus is eagerly waiting to welcome us into His sweet home. Can you imagine the joy and love that awaits us there? It’s beyond anything we can comprehend. So, as we walk through this journey called life, let’s remember that Jesus is walking alongside us every step of the way.
In conclusion, though we may sometimes wish we had been physically present when Jesus walked the Earth, we should take comfort in knowing that His blessings and presence are still with us today. Let’s be grateful for the sacrifice He made for us and strive to live faithfully, knowing that one day we will join Him in His heavenly home. Keep singing, rejoicing, and being glad, for Jesus is our eternal source of love, hope, and blessings!
