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 O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
For thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
Always thou lovedst me.
Amen. Topics: Christ Love and Grace of; Christian Life Salvation by Grace; Election; Grace Sovereign ; Holy Spirit Efficacious Grace of Scripture: 1 John 4:19 Used With Tune: ARTAVIA
