Author: anonymous Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #685 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found of thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm vexed sea;
'twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love; but, oh, the whole
of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
always, always thou lovedst me. Topics: Jesus Christ Saving Work; Love Christ's Love for Us; Elements of Worship Forgiviness and Grace Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3 Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
