Hugh's News & Commentary

A few weeks ago, I received an e-mail from a top official of a prominent corporation in Papua, New Guinea.

As you will recall from your study of geography of the world, you will remember that Papua, New Guinea is south of the Equator and the North Pacific Ocean and in the Coral Sea and above Australia.  From my modest office in Winder, GA, over my garage, to this country down under, Hugh's News found its way into the office of this man seeking to know more about Jesus.

Only God could orchestrate this connection with a total stranger in another country via Hugh's News. The Holy Spirit uses various mediums for communicating the Gospel, and Hugh's News & Commentary is one of them. When you contribute to this electronic ministry, you are helping me spread the Gospel around the world.

The Mission Scripture for Hugh's News is stated clearly:

"And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
Daniel 12:3, KJV

This executive had recently rededicated his life to Jesus and had returned to the church. He was looking for the lyrics or words to a song he was singing, "Only Jesus Can Satisfy Your Soul." He did not know the words and went on Google and low and behold, Hugh's News popped up and there he found the words.

Here is what I had written earlier:

The other day while driving my automobile I was listening to Christian Radio and heard this favorite song of mine. Ever since I have been singing it over and over again. Because of the message of this song, I wanted to share it with you. Maybe you know it, too. I hope the words (lyrics) of this lovely Gospel song will minister to your heart and soul.

Only Jesus Can Satisfy Your Soul

The world may try to satisfy
That longing in your soul.
You may search the wide world over
But you'll be just as before.
You'll never find true satisfaction
Until you've found the Lord,
For only Jesus can satisfy your soul.

CHORUS:
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
Yes, only He can change your heart
And make you whole.
He'll give you peace you never knew,
Sweet joy and love and Heaven, too.
For only Jesus can satisfy your soul.

If you could have the fame and fortune,
All the wealth you could attain.
Yet, you have not Christ within,
Your living here would be in vain.
There'll come a time when death will find you,
Riches cannot help you then.
So, come to Jesus, only He can satisfy.

CHORUS:
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul:
Yes, only He can change your heart
And make you whole.
He'll give you peace you never knew,
Sweet joy and love and Heaven, too.
Only Jesus can satisfy your soul.
Yes, only Jesus can satisfy your soul.

Lanny Wolfe

I discovered this information about Lanny Wolfe on the Internet:

Lanny Wolfe was born and raised in a middle class family in Ohio. His father, a railroad engineer, was not a churchgoer. His mother was the daughter of a Methodist preacher. She sang and played guitar in revival services while still a teenager, traveling across the Midwest and the East. Lanny faithfully rode a city bus to church each week with his mother, brother and sister. He began piano lessons at the age of nine and his pastor's wife allowed him, as a teenager, to play piano for a camp choir.

He got his first real job, teaching math. In 1965 he became a director of music at a Bible College in California. Later he began to write music, and he has been one of the more prolific writers of Christian music in his era.

If this song touched your heart, and you have called on Jesus to come into your heart and life, why not write me and tell me your story.
