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!
(Tune: Rock of Ages)
