The wonderful hymn, Near to the Heart of God, was born during a time of tremendous human suffering and sadness. Cleland McAfee found that unexpected problems or crises may come into our lives.
Often, we cannot escape the pressures and shadows that accompany those problems. However, these can be faced with spiritual strength, which God faithfully provides. This is the message expressed in this song: There is a place of quiet rest...Near to the heart of God.
