Sarah Adams (literary talent from England)Was asked by a preacher to write the words to make a song. The song was to describe what Jacob experienced when God appeared to him as recorded in Genesis 28. After having caught the gist of the preacher’s sermon, Sarah Adams masterfully condensed that Biblical account into a song…

Conclusion and Summary Many sobering stories have been told of how this song was used in the hour of difficulty… The theme of this song ought to be our heart’s desire when it comes to our personal and family life. The Bible gives this command, as well as, promise – “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” Don’t be content to simply follow God. Let’s learn to walk with Him!
