In the heart of Jesus there is love for you,
Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true;
Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh,
When the heart of Jesus has a full supply?
2
In the mind of Jesus there is thought for you,
Warm as summer sunshine, sweet as morning dew;
Why should you be fearful, why take anxious thought,
Since the mind of Jesus cares for those He bought?
3
In the field of Jesus there is work for you;
Such as even angels might rejoice to do;
Why stand idly sighing for some lifework grand,
While the field of Jesus seeks your reaping hand?
4
In the home of Jesus there’s a place for you;
Glorious, bright, and joyous, calm and peaceful too;
Why then, like a wanderer, roam with weary pace,
If the home of Jesus holds for you a place?

I feel rejected by close famiy. This song addresses the needs that Jesus fills in our hearts. If I choose, He will answer all my needs. This song soothes my aches and helps me look beyond petty slights and things out of my control.
May the Lord hold you until He comes
Some weeks ago I heard this song in German. As I took a closer look at the English original I realized, that the English text is much deeper than the German version. Of course it is never easy a task to transfer a song into another language…
However, although I am really not good at memorizing song texts (on the other hand I really know hundreds of songs regarding the musical side), this song touched my heart so deep that almost on the fly the text entered my brain and until this day it has been dwelling there, rooted deeply and giving me peace, and comfort, and a blessed assurance! God is good!
