358.  LORD JESUS CHRIST
                          ...... MiiiUtiiiJBUs  .
                           Luke iji:i GRAT1TuDE

             Lord Jesus Christ, with greatest love my soul sings praises,
              With gratitude for You have pardoned me from my sins;
           Roaming through this world, suffering shame, my life was bitter,
               I was abandoned, without Your comfort within my life.
            Your voice was tender, when He approached me and spoke to
                                me,
              Come into my arms, and I will grant you a precious bliss;
             His eyes were brilliant with holy light, He looked upon me,
               Filled with His love, within my chest, my heart revived.
                                 2
              His voice was calling, I heard His love sweetly in my ears,
             In just one instant He overwhelmed me with all His grace;
             He changed all my tears to celebration, I worshipped Him,
                All my devotion, I gave to Him, my heart and soul.
                I see clear skies, filled with His love, and life eternal,
              Souls by the thousands all singing praises to Jesus Christ;
           So I approached Him and reached my hand to touch His mantle,
               And in that moment all of my torment was at an end.
                                 3
                My body trembled because I felt His holy presence,
             Of Jesus Christ that touched my heart with His great love;
               I fell on my knees, there at His feet, I was redeemed,
             My Lord and Savior, took me in His hand and raised me up.
              I sing His praises and gladly promise to serve my Lord,
             And shout to this world, and tell the story, of Jesus Christ;
             The Prince beloved, that's clad in power, Wonderful Savior,
             The source of wisdom, by God Eternal, and King of Peace.
