O Love That Will Not Let Me Go - Chris Rice

O Love that will 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

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

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

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
