As the branch is to the vine, I am his and he is mine! 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, higher than the heav'ns above, deeper than the depths of sea, lasting as eternity, love that found me— wondrous thought— found me when I sought him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart comfort to a wounded heart, peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, joy that lifts the soul to heav'n, faith and hope to walk with God in the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; all my wants to him are known, all my sorrows are his own. Safe with him in earthly strife, I await the heav'nly life. 5 Strengthen me, O gracious Lord, by your Spirit and your Word. When my wayward heart would stray, keep me in the narrow way; grace in time of need supply while I live and when I die. Topics: Grace Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE
