You ask me why I love the Lord.
Well, friend, just let me say:
My life was not worth living
Till the Saviour came my way.
You say I lose so much in life;
Yes, friend, PRAISE GOD, I do.
I lose the sin and sorrow
Which was all I ever knew.
I lose the days spent seeking joy,
The long nights full of tears;
I lose the heavy burdens
Which I carried through the years.
But, friend, I would not have them back
For all that you could pay!
My life was not worth living
Till the Saviour came my way.
“lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things.” Isaiah 40:26
