Inspiring Gospel Solos and Duets No. 1 ‎#112

112. Yes, Dear Lord

1 Long my willful heart said “no”
To Jesus’ tender pleading;
Now I long His love to know,
My stubborn will is yielding.

Chorus:
Yes, dear Lord,
Yes, dear Lord,
Here I give myself to Thee;
I believe, I believe,
The blood avails for me.

2 Bringing all I am and have
In humble consecration,
Trusting in the blood, I claim
This uttermost salvation. [Chorus]

3 Giving o’er my doubts and fears
And all my useless trying,
Trusting not my pray’rs or tears,
But on Thy word relying. [Chorus]

4 Yes, dear Lord, in life or death,
With thee all good possessing,
Not by feeling, but of faith,
I take the promised blessing. [Chorus]
