O Love, that wilt not let me go

1
O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2
O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3
O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4
O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Just praise Him..... I love Him. Wait on the Lord. He is all that matters. Just wait on Him till you become "exhausted by His patience..." Till all the things of this earth "grow stangely dim". Lord we Love You with our first, our best love. We praise You for Your mercy and "love that will not let us go."

Nothing that I have done nor can ever do that has caused me to remain in the Lord's Recovery, but it is because of His love that will never let me go. "What love Thou hast bestowed on us. We thank Thee from our hearts."

Lord, remember my consecration even if I forget it. Remind me of Your lovingkindness toward me every single moment. Thank You for being so patient with me, You love still won't let me go even when I'm in the lowest valley. You're the faithful one in us Lord Jesus.

Oh Lord Jesus, many weary years I vainly sought and craved but it was all chasing after the wind. In You I found thy satisfaction and rest. PTL Bro. & Sist. I give You my first (Best) Love...

This hymn is so touching.

I can't help but weep when I hear the brothers sing.

Beautiful song. Personally, the lyrics speaks volumes. It brought tears and eventually comfort to my soul. I have so many questions to God in the past months....maybe years..but still holding on to His promises..serving Him with all my heart and strength..trying my best to keep on keeping on with HIm. I thank God for a friend who introduced this song via his post on Facebook. Bless him Lord.
