Text: | In Loving-Kindness Jesus Came |
Author: | Charles H. Gabriel |
Tune: | HE LIFTED ME |
Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel |
1 In loving-kindness Jesus came
my soul in mercy to reclaim,
and from the depths of sin and shame
through grace He lifted me.
Refrain:
From sinking sand He lifted me,
with tender hand He lifted me,
from shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!
2 He called me long before I heard,
before my sinful heart was stirred,
but when I took Him at His word,
forgiven, He lifted me. [Refrain]
3 His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
when from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
in love He lifted me. [Refrain]
4 Now on a higher plane I dwell,
and with my soul I know ’tis well;
yet how or why I cannot tell
He should have lifted me. [Refrain]
