Look to Jesus

Representative Text

1 Look to Jesus when in danger,
There are storms upon life’s sea,
And though rough may seem the billows,
He will ever with you be.

Refrain:
Oh, look to Him when clouds appear,
No storm can harm when He is near;
Oh, look to Him where’er you roam,
He’ll lead you safely to your home.

2 Look to Jesus, He will save you
Though you’ve drifted far away,
He will gladly come to meet you,
And will keep you near each day. [Refrain]

3 Look to Jesus, for He loves you,
Ever look to Him in prayer,
He will guide you o’er life’s ocean,
He will lighten ev’ry care. [Refrain]
