The term “Damascus road” alludes to the place where the apostle Paul had a personal encounter with Jesus (Acts 9). This blog chronicles the journey of the Rejoice in Jesus Discipleship Group (RJCDGroup) members after they encountered and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. From their own "Damascus road" moments, "to the ends of the earth".(Acts 1:8)

hi brother jonas,
this is one of my favorite gospel songs. the lyrics have a resonance to believers that despite all the troubles in this world, we can have the confidence that God is in control. i like the rendition by the isaacs. it is also available in youtube.

I always cry every time this hymn is performed either vocally or instrumentally. Knowing the story behind it, I can just imagine God's comfort as the author pen down the words. I always remember this hymn whenever I feel down. It was played on my dad's funeral service.Thanks for posting it.
