Jesus, I know you came To seek and find me; Yours are the only hands That can unbind me. You offer me release From sin and sin's increase; You bid me go in peace, The past behind me. What if my former self Should overtake me? Or new temptations wait To bend and break me? You strengthen me to meet My foes upon my feet; And even in defeat Do not forsake me. What if an end to doubt Is still denied me? In sacrament and song You cheer and guide me. I have a race to run, Each step a victory won; Believing, I press on, With you beside me.
