Oh, my Lord Jesus, You are my King of Kings,
To a poor and outcast soul like me,
When all my friends forsake me,
Saying, “You are a backslidden sinner”
Your everlasting Spirit stays to console me!
Jesus, Your Word brings life and beauty
Into my wretched heart!
When Your Spirit breaks my prison of sin and death,
This crippled life of mine leaps into joy like a deer
The waters of Life gush out from my very brokenness;
Now, the beauty of a heart without guile is given to me,
Like a flower blossom, Your Life blooms into my soul!
Even though I’m naive and a fool,
I will not stray away from this Highway of Holiness,
Because Jesus, You are my Good Shepherd!
No roaring lion of the devil or ravenous wolf of false prophets
Can ever be found there to harm me!
Now my poor soul is clothed in Your perfect righteousness;
With the crown of everlasting joy upon my head,
I will sing, “Worthy is my Lamb Jesus, who was slain for me,
To receive power, honour, and glory forever!”
