It was a few months ago, I believe, that we at Heritage Baptist Church played "My Jesus I Love Thee." During practice one of my Pastors, Alex (my brother and best friend who is also an author on this blog), did not like the fourth verse of the song. So, we cut it. I agreed with him, and as much as I loved the hymn, and still do, it was better without the fourth verse. The next day I then sat down to write a new gospel-centered fourth verse. My goal was to focus not at all upon the pictures of great material wealth in new creation, but instead, our true treasure in new creation, Jesus, my lord, and my savior. We performed it at Refuge (our Wednesday night prayer, music, and scripture reading service) tonight, or 29 July 2015. Here is the verse if you were unable to attend.
When Christ takes His Bride, and creation's restored;
We'll live in the presence of Jesus our LORD.
No, Death shall not victor, for Christ won't lose His Wife.
Forever I'll love Thee, my Jesus, my life.
