At the moment, the search engine is more bust than boom.
I did succeed in pulling up this thread,
only by doing the thread-title search feature.
When I tried searching within Mudcat,
even for the name of the Author/Composer I have in mind,
the search just crashed. Bummer. Anyway:

This is from hymnary.org, under the Author/Composer's name.

Sanford Jesse Massengale went to Stamps Music School when it was in Dallas, Texas.
In 1929, he graduated.
He wrote a total of 1800 church songs.
Massengale died in 1992
and is buried in Wetumka, Oklahoma.

Hymnary dot org does not list I Don't Want To Get Adjusted / To This World Below.
These three titles, however, are listed under
TUNES / COMPOSER
Christ said, He has come not the law to destroy

Just a touch of His hand / To my soul feels so grand

Some of these days, it won't be long, / I'll be singing a glad new song

According to myheritage dot com, Massengale's birth year is 1904.
He spent part of his early years in Tahlequah, Oklahoma;
and though HIS birthplace is not given,
his father, William Thomas M., was born in Dogpatch, Newton, Arkansas.   
Will report further as I locate more.
