Advent 2 Love That Will Not Let Me Go

For years this hymn would come up in my soul, then I was compelled at a Joyce Meyer conference to find out where it was coming from. Well, it turns out I learned it from a Haven of Rest record album! Looking on You-tube, this was the best version I could find. So if you think singing in the shower is just for kicks, listen to this! If this is not your favorite version, check it out on You-tube and tell me what one speaks to you most clearly!
The lyrics are:
1. O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Be certain among the many things on the To-Do list this season to rest your weary soul in God and give Him back the life you owe! You will be better for the effort! He promises.
