Passions

When I am lost and I can't find my way

When I am tossed by life's winds and I sway

I'll enter within His gates to his flock

And I am safe hid within the sure Rock.

When I am hungering for exotic tastes

When I give in and my life becomes waste

Jesus pursues me and with Him I'll dine

I'll eat of His bread and I'll drink his true wine.

All of my passions will lead me astray

Don't satisfy and they'll take me away

To a p[lace where I'm drowning and can't pay the cost

He comes and finds me or still I'd be lost.

No other refuge and no other light

That shines on my path and makes me be right

Before Him I'll bow down, before him I'll stand

Engraved upon His omnipotent hand.

So though I may falter and though I may fall

I'll press ever on to his one upward call

And I know he will keep me for he is my friend

Jesus will still see me through to the end

And I know he will keep me for he is my friend

Jesus will still see me through to the end!
