Lyrics
Whom have I in Heaven but You?
There is none besides You I desire.
Though my heart and
Flesh become weak
You’re my strength,
The portion of my life.
For I know that my Redeemer lives!
All control is within His hands.
Though my heart may fail,
And my flesh pass away,
With these eyes I will
Behold the Lord.
Lord create a clean heart in me,
And let only what’s from You remain.
If need be, when in trials
I am grieved
Let my faith, Lord,
Be proved genuine.
For I know that my Redeemer lives!
All control is within His hands.
Though my heart may fail,
And my flesh pass away,
With these eyes I will
Behold the Lord.
When trials seem too difficult for me,
Let Your grace be my sufficiency!
Of You I’ve heard by
The hearing of the ear
But Your face is what
I long to see.
For I know that my Redeemer lives!
All control is within His hands.
Though my heart may fail,
And my flesh pass away,
With these eyes I will
Behold the Lord.
For I know that my Redeemer lives!
All control is within His hands.
Though my heart may fail,
And my flesh pass away,
With these eyes I will
Behold the Lord
