<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>In tenderness He sought me, weary and sick with sin;<br>
|
|
And on His shoulders brought me back to His fold again.<br>
|
|
While angels in His presence sang until the courts of heaven rang.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Oh, the love that sought me!<br>
|
|
Oh, the blood that bought me!<br>
|
|
Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold,<br>
|
|
Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold.</p>
|
|
<p>He washed the bleeding sin wounds, and poured in oil and wine;<br>
|
|
He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine”;<br>
|
|
I never heard a sweeter voice; it made my aching heart rejoice!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>He pointed to the nail prints, for me His blood was shed,<br>
|
|
A mocking crown so thorny was placed upon His head;<br>
|
|
I wondered what He saw in me, to suffer such deep agony.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>I’m sitting in His presence, the sunshine of His face,<br>
|
|
While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace.<br>
|
|
It seems as if eternal days are far too short to sound His praise.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>So while the hours are passing, all now is perfect rest,<br>
|
|
I’m waiting for the morning, the brightest and the best,<br>
|
|
When He will call us to His side, to be with Him, His spotless bride.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
