This Love is Mine, I cannot Comprehend It.

Hi Ddelsanto. I hope this is the one: This Love Is Mine 1. We may sound the depths of all the might oceans; We may tell the distance to the farthest star. But the mighty love of God cannot be measured. Its dimensions are so high, so deep, so far! CHORUS This love is mine, I cannot comprehend it! Thi...

"Thou art oft most present, Lord" Title, Copyright and Publisher Info. Request

Here is the entire poem. Words by Frederick William Faber. I believe the composition predates 1853, so it is in the public domain. Ah dearest Lord! I cannot pray, My fancy is not free; Unmannerly distractions come, And force my thoughts from Thee. The world that looks so dull all day Glows bright on...

What a friend we have in Jesus

Here they are, including the obscure verse 4 :) 1. What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. 2. Have we ...
