devotions

Thou hast found me when I sought Thee nought
Thou hast captured me when I ran aloose
Thy grip is stronger than my heart
Thy song is louder than my cries

Where could I go that Thou wouldst not see
What could I fathom that Thou hast not known

Let me retreat in Thee. Let me intreat of Thee.
Thy soul's ever fixed Love.

------------------------------------
The day my soul doth leave the earth behind
I will not care about my works
Success and trial will fade into
the deep chasm of deaths unknown

When the soul departeth from it's mortal frame
one thought occupies the mind of truth
Nearer I shall be to Thee
Nearer I shall be to Thee
