'Longing for Jesus" Key: G 4/4
W & M by Ione McPherson (1937)

This is the song I thought of in 1997 when I began transcribing words to songs I know. This I also learned from my Dad. I have found that singing it is more of a blessing to me than simply playing the notes as they were written.
I sing it in G, but I am a bass (baritone) and I like to sing where it's more comfortable for me. It might sound better in Ab.

This YouTube video from the Gaithers has more than just the chorus (that Mark did)
