Hymn 240

You said You’d come and share all my sorrows

Marsha Stevens

Verse 1

You said You’d come and share all my sorrows,

You said You’d be there for all my tomorrows;

I came so close to sending You away,

But just like You promised,

You came there to stay, I just had to pray:

Verse 2

And Jesus said: “Come to the water,

Stand by My side, I know you are thirsty,

You won’t be denied.

I felt every tear drop when in

darkness you cried,

And I strove to remind you That for

those tears I died.”

Your goodness so great, I can’t understand,

And dear Lord, I know that all this was planned,

I know You’re here now, and always will be;

Your love loosed my chains and in You I’m free,

But Jesus, why me?

Verse 3

Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul,

I know that without God I’d never be whole,

Saviour, You opened all the right doors,

And I thank You, and I praise You,

from earth’s humble shores,

Take me, I’m Yours.
