THE SINNER & THE SONG

Words & music: Will L. Thompson

[Dad's key: D]

A (F)sinner was wandering at eventide,
His (C7)tempter was watching close (F)by his (C)side.
In his (F)heart raged a battle of (A)right against (Dm)wrong,
But (G7)hark! From the church he hears a sweet (C)song:

(F)"Jesus, Lover (C)of my soul,
(F)Let me to (Bb)Thy (F)bo(C7)som (F)fly,
While the nearer (C)waters roll.
(F)While the tem(Bb)pest (F)still (C7)is (F)nigh."

"A (D)Tempter, depart! I have (Gm)served thee too long;
I (C7)fly to the Savior, He (F)dwells in that song.
O (Dm)Lord, can it be that a (Gm)sinner like (Dm)me
Can (A)find a sweet (Dm)refuge by coming (Bb)to (A)Thee?

(F)Other refuge (C)have I none,
(F)Hangs my help(Bb)less (F)soul (C)on (F)Thee.
I come, Lord, I come; Thou'lt for(Bb)give my dark (F)past,
And oh, redeem (Bb)my (F)soul (C7)at (F)last."
