Lord, You Have Come to Me

One morning

Lord

You went to wait for Peter by the sea;

One midday

on the way

for Saul You waited patiently.

Now suddenly this day

into my life

You’ve come to me.

You’ve come as brightest light; I can’t resist Your shining ray;

I truly can’t explain; I doubt each day

believe each day.

I truly can’t explain; I doubt each day

believe each day.

Sometimes

in pastures green

the Shepherd’s tender voice I hear;

Sometimes

in valleys deep

my Guide

so wise

may disappear;

Sometimes

upon the sea

my loving Lord asleep appears;

Adventure and surprise at every step along the way;

I’ve never seen His face; so blurry

yet so clear each day.

I’ve never seen His face; so blurry

yet so clear each day.

Each day

not as I will

so many challenges I see;

I need not easy life

self-pity

friends

or sympathy;

All power

living bread

and living water

He supplies;

He transforms many lives

transferred from darkness into light;

Pow’r tabernacles o’er; I am afraid

yet strong each day.

Pow’r tabernacles o’er; I am afraid

yet strong each day.

What contradictions fill the lives of all those who love You;

To men we seem unknown

yet really we are well-known too;

As dying

we rejoice in resurrection vict’ry true.

In self we’ve only pain; yet boundless wealth in You we gain.

Treasure in vessel clay; dishonor

glory every day.

Treasure in vessel clay; dishonor

glory every day.

I never can assess how I

so common

gained the best;

I live You

by Your life; my walk Your nature manifests;

Each day romance I find; wondrous

with tears and song entwined!

’Tis Your great mercy

Lord

that You have come into my life!

Oh! Thank You! Thank You

Lord! Now You have come into my life!

Oh! Thank You! Thank You

Lord! Now You have come into my life!
