Love Will Lead Me

Love Will Lead Me

Unsavoriness what hate within me lies,

Through Christ alone his grace it surely dies,

The will of God may it alone survive,

Til the love of God prevails in me alive.

When enemies surround and storm the door,

I turn to Him, the One whom I adore,

All troubles I can lay at Jesus feet,

And, through His grace all doubt he will defeat.

Now, daily I must turn to Holy Word,

(Though others in the world may find absurd),

It’s only through its reading; every line,

That I can hear the Will of God divine.

Now, surely Love is all that you design,

Oh, surely Love through grace you will refine,

Oh, surely Love empowers a brighter way,

And, surely Love will lead me every day!
