Savior, I come

Savior, I humbly come in prayer unto thee;
I am able to stand, because thou hast reached down and touched me.
O' my Savior, for the care of my soul, I look to thee;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

When I suffer afflictions, and am preplexed by fears unknown;
Where shall I go? I flee for refuge to thee alone.
When I seek peace from my fears, I look to thee;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

Poor I am, and at times forsaken, yet I am thine;
There is no greater joy and peace, then in thee I find.
Yea, all my joy and blessings ever flow from thy;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

Weary, I come to thee and I lay my head upon thy breast;
Through faith in thee, I have a promised rest.
All comfort and assurance come from thee;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

In the journey, I'll suffer no pain or loss;
Daily do I cling to thy Holy Cross.
All my hope and faith is built upon thee;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

Savior, for my sins, thou suffered and thou wast crucified;
Through faith in thee, I stand redeemed and justified.
The gifts of forgiveness and salvation ever come from thee;
Blessed Savior, always take care of me.

Through this earthly journey, I'll walk and have no fear;
I am at peace, for I know that wilt always be near.
With thy mighty hand, thou wilt lead and guide me;
I hear thou sayest, "fear not,I will take care of thee."
