Let My Soul Sing! Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee

Bernard of Clairvaux became a monk since he could not enter to the military services due to his health. He founded the famous monastery in Clairvaux and then went on to lead another 170 monasteries in his lifetime.  He was called the "honey-tongued doctor", "the best monk that ever lived" as proclaimed by Martin Luther.

He was not a perfect man, but his writings certainly was. One of my favourite:
"How do we know that Christ has really overcome death? Precisely in that he, who did not deserve it, underwent it... but what kind of justice is this, you may say, that the innocent should die for the guilty? It is not justice, it is mercy."

This soulful piano version of the hymn "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee" needs no words. It is a peaceful version that we can feel that essence of the hymn while we ponder on these precious truth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
