D. Greenwell
I AM not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Saviour.
2
I take Him at His Word indeed:
“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Saviour.
3
And was there then no other way
For God to take? I cannot say;
I only bless Him, day by day,
Who saved me through my Saviour.
4
That He should leave His place on high,
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange? So once did I,
Before I knew my Saviour.
5
And oh, that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour.
6
Yes, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring,
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour.
