25 Songs, 25 Days - Day 18: A Song That You Love But Rarely Listen To

This is a hard one to post, because I rarely listen to my favorite song as well, which is coming up on a later date, so I chose a different "favorite" that rarely gets any playtime on my speakers. When I was in college I was required to take one semester of choir, which I had never been in because I'm not that great of a singer. I was thrilled when I learned that we would be singing something in English as well, Mendelsohnn's Elijah. I fell in love with all of the music, but there is one piece toward the beginning, one that wasn't even part of the choral part sung by a male soloist titled "If With All Your Hearts."

The lyrics say it best with the opening lines:

If with all your heart ye truly seek Me,
Ye shall ever surely find Me,
Thus saith our God.

The middle part goes on from the human perspective asking where to find Him, then coming back to the line above at the end. Mendelssohn has always been a favorite for me, but I had never heard of this piece, so it certainly was a treat to be able to enjoy this music all semester.
