“Almost” is but to fail!
And when I’m good, I’m happy.
Without Him I would fall.
Then Jesus came and cast out every fear.
I, child of joy (echo)
When you see the falling rain outside,
Sin once held me captive, bound me, reigned as lord o’er me;
Jesus Himself drew near,
Out in the highways and byways of life,
All around, this heavenly Guest
But the dust I gathered round me
Doth possess me; turn and bless me;
But the dust I gathered round me
Or if He trusted it to me,
Or if He trusted it to me,
Wear the crown of this poor world.
Sometimes trusting, sometimes doubting,
In Lo-debar, I was just lame there,
God will take care of you!
To the dearest on earth to me,

Sad

“Almost—but lost!”
I wish I could be happy again,
No other one can cheer me so.
For death had come and taken him away;
With tearful words, (echo)
But just think what good all those drops can do
Unaware that Jesus had set me free.
When He was walking at their side,
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Changed our weariness to rest.
Well of water, ever springing,
Eye and heart long for Thy gladness.
Well of water, ever springing,
What if tomorrow’s cares were here,
If worries of tomorrow came
Since Thy Church was taught this prayer;
Oh, the peace the Savior gives!
In fear of my life with no answers,
God will take care of you!
Till it nearly breaks,
