Jesus, Savior, Jesus, Comforter by Ronald McVey — Lyrics
Jesus, savior, Jesus, comforter,
Jesus, source of our hope and strength,
we pray for mercy, we pray for healing.
We lay our burdens and cares in your hands,
knowing, Lord Jesus, that you understand.
Lord, I was lost, Lord, i was drifting,
floating along like a leaf on the wind.
One day you came to me, held out your hand to me,
folding me into your arms like a child,
touching my heart with the warmth of your smile.
