THE SINNER & THE SONG
Author(s): Michael Piano, Paul H.
Songbook: Dad's Songs of Love
KeyWords: Praise,

A sinner was wandering at eventide,
His tempter was watching close by his side.
In his heart raged a battle of right against wrong,
But hark! From the church he hears a sweet song:

"Jesus, Lover of my soul,
Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll.
While the tempest still is nigh."

"A Tempter, depart! I have served thee too long;
I fly to the Savior, He dwells in that song.
O Lord, can it be that a sinner like me
Can find a sweet refuge by coming to Thee?

Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee.
I come, Lord, I come; Thou'lt forgive my dark past,
And oh, redeem my soul at last."
