The New Praiseworthy ‎#217

217. Since Jesus Touched Me

1 I've lost all love for pleasures vain,
And vain desires no hold obtain,
For, bless His name, I've ceased to rove,
Since Jesus touched me with His love.

Chorus:
Since Jesus touched me with His love,
I've kept my eyes on things above;
I've had a song the whole day long,
Since Jesus touched me with His love.

2 What wordly things so much I sought,
Today I shun and count as naught;
While things eternal and sublime
I crave and sigh for all the time. [Chorus]

3 From such a Friend I cannot roam,
His hand will lead me safely home;
In life, in death, His name adore,
And trust and love Him evermore. [Chorus]
