Hymn: When We See Christ
Seize the Moment – Day 1264
Today’s song focus will be
When We See Christ
Philippians 3:8 (NASB95)
“More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,”
Esther Kerr Rusthol was a very accomplished woman. She was the sister of musical evangelist Phil Kerr, married to pastor and evangelist Howard Rusthol, was an author, poet, composer, singer and evangelist and associate pastor at
Pentecostal Angeles Temple of Los Angeles. But her life was not without struggles as she suffered from ill health, passing away at the age of 53. But this 1941 hymn is probably her best-known song, echoing the words of Paul with the value of knowing Christ.
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus!
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ.
One glimpse of his dear face, all sorrow will erase.
So, bravely run the race till we see Christ.
We need to wake up and take the words of this song to encourage our hearts in both the good and the bad times of our lives. We make the choice to change our perspective and focus on what is worth it all!

When We See Christ
We’re tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God’s eternal day.
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase,
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
We’re tossed and driven on, no human help in sight;
But there is one in heav’n who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem – just go to Him in pray’r.
We’ll cross the great divide, to glory, safe at last;
We’ll share the joys of heav’n – a harp, a home, a crown,
The tempter will be banished, we’ll lay our burden down.
