Lyrics O Love That Will Not Let Me Go - Chris Rice

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

O Love that will 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
O light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be
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
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
