Living for Jesus - a podcast by Rex Bridges

If you had to create a poem and turn it into lyrics but didn't know how to make that transition, could you do it?  Thomas O. Chisholm was able to adapt by having his daughter hum the melody over and over, turning a children's song into a hymn of redemption and dedication, Living for Jesus.  Chisholm had poor health and limited formal education, but his poetry was notable and many poems were turned into hymns that still bless us today.
