From the waters lifted me,
Now safe am I.

Out of the angry waves;

Billows His will obey;

Be saved today. [Refrain]

Beneath my Father's eye?

I cheerfully resign;
Lord, thou art good and just and wise,
I yield my will to thine.

I'll trust his tender care. Topics: The Christian System Adoption And Sanctification; Adoption

Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 258 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:2 First Line: Lord, it belongs not to my care Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,

That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
No one into his kingdom comes,
But through his opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet,
Thy blessed face to see;
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be!
5 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him. Topics: Afflictions; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Contentment; Declenson spiritual Used With Tune: CHERITH
