Seeking for Me (Stephenson)

Composer: Edward Stephenson, 1900

Once I was bound

but Je­sus re­leased me;

Once I was blind

but now I can see.

Over the mount­ains lone­ly I wan­dered

Jesus

my friend

came seek­ing for me.

Seeking for me

came seek­ing for me

Jesus

my friend

came seek­ing for me;

Over the mount­ains lone­ly I wan­dered;

Jesus

my friend

came seek­ing for me.

Weeping

I longed for grace and for par­don

Prayed from my load of sin to be free.

Then

as I cried in help­less con­tri­tion

Jesus

my friend

came seek­ing for me.

Filled with the joy of pre­sent sal­va­tion

Washed in the blood once shed on the tree

This be my song thro’ ag­es eter­nal:

Jesus

my friend

came seek­ing for me.

Oh

for the harp of ser­aph to praise Him

Oh

for the tongue of an­gel to sing.

Glory to Je­sus! I will ad­ore Him

I am ad­opt­ed

child of a king.
