Let me feel thy cleansing pow'r;

Lead me gently, gently as I go;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way. [Refrain]

Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above. [Refrain] Topics: Everlasting Life; Jesus Christ His Blood; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ Our Love For Jesus Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: MORE THAN LIFE
