Many times I fled your mercy

Thinking I can live alone

But I find in my misery

No one but You saves my soul

Chorus/Refrain

Your Sweet Voice did call me, call me

From the depths of my sojourn

To your will, Lord, I surrender

In your arms I found my home

Without You, I have no guidance

I walk blind in my own pride

You shone with your divine radiance

Healing my soul and my mind

I inherited your graces

And spent myour wealth in the world

I have wandered many places

Unto your rest I have yearned

In the depth of my anxiety

I remembered your sweet voice

Of sonship I am not worthy

Nor to be a hireling

In your arms you held me closely

And gave me a golden ring

You clothed me in your holiness

And forgave me all my sins

Oh My Lord, I am unworthy

Of your love that gave me life

I am your son and your servant

To you I offer my all
