Loved By the King

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Spiritual Life Songs #97 (1930) First Line: My life was a failure, for I was astray Refrain First Line: I'm loved by the King, He redeemed me Lyrics: 1 My life was a failure, for I was astray, And serving the tempter from day unto day; But now, homeward going, a glad song I sing, For I am forgiven and loved by the King. Refrain: I’m loved by the King, He redeemed me, His praises rejoicing I sing; I’m lonely no more, my wand’rings are o’er, I’m loved by the King, hallelujah! 2 The world could not help me, all friends I had lost, Alone and in sorrow, by billows was tossed; But now I have Some-One to whom I may cling, And look to in trouble,—I’m loved by the King. [Refrain] 3 O soul, lost in darkness, my King is the Lord, Who also for you has His life-blood outpoored; So asking forgiveness, your heart to Him bring, That you may forever be loved by the King. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My life was a failure, for I was astray]
