8820. Jesus, Strong To Deliver

1 When in my sorrow, He found me,
Found me, and bade me be whole,
Turned all my night into heavenly light,
From me my burden did roll.

Refrain:
Jesus is strong to deliver,
Mighty to save, mighty to save!
Jesus is strong to deliver,
Jesus is mighty to save!

2 When in the tempest, He’ll hide us,
When in the storm, He’ll be near;
All the way ’long, He will carry us on,
We will have nothing to fear. [Refrain]

3 Why are you doubting and fearing?
Why are you still under sin?
Have you not found that His grace doth abound?
Mighty to save, let Him in! [Refrain]

4 You say, "I’m weak, I am helpless,
I’ve tried again and again";
This may be true, for it’s not what you do:
Jesus is mighty to save. [Refrain]
