Just When I Need Him

Well, this morning pretty much was not fun at all. I had a nasty test, received my GRE scores, and was told that I would have to stay another year at school. So, as you can see I was a little upset. (I also want it to be known, that I wil NOT be staying at school another year, that situation will be resolved another way. That is what I was told though.)

So, as I was walking to work, and rather upset I started humming a song without even realizing it. I hummed it for 5-10 minutes before I even realized what I was humming. It was an old hymn that we don't even sing that often at my church. As I hummed and realized the words to the song, God comforted me, and for that I am thankful.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is near,
Just when I falter, just when I fear;
Ready to help me, ready to cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is true,
Never forsaking all the way through;
Giving for burdens pleasures anew,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, Jesus is strong,
Bearing my burdens all the day long;
For all my sorrow giving a song,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him, He is my all,
Answering when upon Him I call;
Tenderly watching lest I should fall,
Just when I need Him most.

Just when I need Him most,
Just when I need Him most,
Jesus is near to comfort and cheer,
Just when I need Him most.
