7 Wonders (8/28/08)

Father, I stretch my hands to Thee, no other help I know.
If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go.
Author of faith, to Thee I lift my weary, longing eyes.
O let me now receive that gift, my soul without it dies. (2)

I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me.
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
In sorrow, He’s my comfort, in trouble, He’s my stay;
He tells me every care on Him to roll. (3)

Have we trials and temptation? Is there trouble everywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful; who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. (1)

When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides in us still, and with all who will trust and obey.
But we can never prove the delights of His love until all on the alter we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows, are for them who will trust and obey. (4)

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me. (6)

I know Him, adore Him, a good life to show Him. I’ll tell it wherever I go.
He’s nearest, He’s clearest, in my life He’s dearest. I’ll tell it wherever I go.
What He is to you, maybe you can’t see. But this thing I know, he’s everything to me.
He saved me, He’ll raise me, forever I’ll praise Him. I tell it wherever I go. (7)

‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus and take Him at his word.
Just to rest upon His promise and to know, “Thus said the Lord”
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee; precious Jesus, Savior, Friend.
And I know that Thou art with me, wilt be with me to the end. (5)
