His Fullness Songs ‎#159

159. I Love the Lord

1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone,
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I'll pursue,
The narrow way till Him I view.

Refrain:
I love the Lord, I know I do,
The best of all He loves me too;
I love the Lord, I know I do,
The best of all He loves me too.

2 The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The Kings' highway of holiness,
I'll go, for all His paths are peace. [Refrain]

3 This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief and burden long has been,
Because I was not freed from sin. [Refrain]

4 The more I strove against its power,
I felt its guilt and weight the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
"Come hither, soul, I am the way." [Refrain]

5 Lo! glad I come and Thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to Thee as I am;
Nothing but sin have I to give,
Nothing but love shall I receive. [Refrain]

6 Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to Thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God." [Refrain]
