Since I’ve met the Lord

Since I’ve met the Lord

I realize

There’s a love that is unconditional

Jesus came to save me

live within me

Bear my weaknesses

sweetly make me whole.

Since I’ve met you saints

I realize

How abundant is my inheritance!

Brothers

sisters

as a cloud surround me—

What contentment and happiness

so blest!

Incorruptible is His love;

And unfailing His faithfulness;

His life

so fresh and all-sufficient

Joins me to the Body to be blent.

For Him

gladly I’d the world forsake

I’ve a far more glorious heritage!

His life divine to me He’s promised

And a hundredfold He’ll recompense.

As I run the race

His grace o’erflows

From you saints

so rich in time of need!

By your love for Him

you spur me onward—

With this same love profound you all love me!

When I’m weak

you weep before the Lord;

When I fail

in the midst of you I’ll fall;

Day by day

my heart’s profoundly grateful

For my growth and my joy are with you all.

’Tis for you my heart’s full of praise

All you saints most precious to me;

My spirit

soul

entire being

I entrust to you whole-heartedly.

We’ve become His living sacrifice

Serving

pleasing Him is all our care;

Where’er He sends

we go with boldness

Just as long as there are brothers there.
