Rest mine eyes upon thy face

Rest mine eyes upon thy face
Upon thy steadfast grace
Which carries me
Through the storm

Though oft my foot
May slip
And fall
So search

My soul
And take
Control

For all I am
No hiding
From thee

So turn my will
To thine alone
For I dare not
Trust my own

Long have I strayed
In my own way
And where hath it
Brought me each day

Save to you
Who knows me
Best of all

Though I weep
Though I crawl
Have me
One and all

I am desperately
In need and none other
Dare I heed than
Thou who didst bleed

That my heart
May heal
For thou
Art real

The one and only
None ere beside
Dare to suffer
So for me

So take me
Hopeless yet
Hopeful for thee

Nowhere
Can I flee
From thy
Presence

And wonder be
The thought of thee
Who will not
Abandon

So trudge I
The raging sea
In sheer serenity
For thou art with me

And guide me
By faith and hand
To thy glorious land
Beyond
