...carpe diem, a blog...

When i first listened to this song (a dear friend told me bout this lovely song), i was touched. The writer of this song HAS been through very tough time, and he discovered that the only Person he should seek is...

HE, whose love will not let ANYONE go.

On the third verse, i always got tears in my eyes...
Hope you enjoy this... :)

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
