Words hastily scribbled down on the back of an envelope at a post office in New Zealand in 1936, inspired by a traditional Maori farewell tune, became the much-loved hymn, "Search Me, O God." Young evangelist J. Edwin Orr, a passion for Jesus burning in him after the incredible revival he'd just taken part in, wrote the song in those few minutes, leaving a rich prayerful hymn for the generations to come. Join me as we learn more about J. Edwin Orr, his life, and the hymn that left his name in the history books.
