SAVIOR, BIND MY HEART TO YOU

Don Fortner

 

Savior, bind my heart to You,

Guide my steps in all I do;

BY Your grace, and pow'r and love

Fix my heart on things above:

Give me grace to honor You;

Savior, bind my heart to You.

Lord, my sinful flesh is weak

And opposed to all I seek,

Things I would I cannot do,

What I hate is what I do!

Jesus, I would follow You;

Savior, bind my heart to You.

 

While I walk this pilgrim way,

Jesus, ever near me stay;

Hold me, lest I fall in sin;

When I do, restore again:

Lift me up and make me true;

Savior, bind my heart to You.

 

If my days on earth be long,

Give me grace and make me strong:

Hold me, Christ, and I shall stand,

Safe, secure within Your hand:

If my days be long or few,

Savior, bind my heart to You.

 

How long, O Lord, must I toil,

Till this flesh returns to soil,

Till I leave this world of sin

And Your glory enter in?

Lord, I long to be with You!

Savior, bring me home to You!
