Dearest Immanuel, Lord of the faithful,
And solace of my soul, come soon, oh come,
You are my highest love, my heart you captured,
And now it burns so bright, consumed with love,
Nothing is so dear, treasured and held near,
As when I have you Jesus in my soul.
Your name is oh so sweet, sweeter than honey,
Fair, full of love, fresh as the morning dew,
Thats cools the meadow green, with all it's flowers,
Jesus, my only hope in life Is You,
Then fade my sorrows, and all my worries,
When I in faith, look up to You and pray.
When my afflictions here, seem far too heavy,
When every step becomes an uphill stair,
If then my soul cries out, asking for Jesus,
My heart lifts up, and roses fill the air,
No stormy weather, can be too bitter,
With Jesus, I can see the skies turn fair.
When Satans ploys and power, start to surround me,
When life's transgressions book, my sins reveal,
They in their multitude, threaten to drown me,
And fears of hell arise, when death looms near,
I stay un-waivered, Jesus my savior,
For in His Blood, lie conquered all my fears.
And if I in this world, face persecution,
Despised by everyone, threatened with harm,
And even by my friends, lastly forsaken,
My Jesus waits for me with open arms,
Strengthens my journey, says child don't worry,
I'll be your friend, I'll keep you safe and warm.
So travel on ye world, vain and conceited
My Jesus I am yours, and you are mine
I'll let loose of this world, and start preparing
You shall control my heart, my tongue and mind
My earthly living, to you is given
Till when I draw my final breath and die.
