Songs of Zion ‎#232

232. Prayer Call and Response

1 [Call:] Father, I stretch my hands to Thee;
No other help I know;
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me,
Ah! whither shall I go?

2 [Response:] I do believe, I do believe,
That Jesus died for me;
And by His blood, His precious blood,
One day I will be free.
