LyicsHark, my soul, it is the Lord,
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
"Say poor sinner, lov'st thou me?
"I deliver'd thee when bound,
"And when wounded, heal'd thy wound;
"Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right,
"Turn'd thy darkness into light.
"Can a woman's tender care,
"Cease toward the child she bare?
"Yes, she may forgetful be,
"Yet will I remember thee.
"Mine is a redeeming love,
"Higher than the heights above;
"Deeper than the depths beneath,
"Free and faithful, strong as death.
"Thou shalt see my glory soon,
"When the work of grace is done;
"Partner of my throne shalt be,
"Say poor sinner, lov'st thou me?"
Lord it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee and adore,
O for grace to love thee more.
