Description
SATB and Organ. A lovely, easy little anthem that works well anytime but especially during a service of confession and assurance, acknowledging our inability to act on our own and being assured that the Lord moves within us. Great for communion as well.

Lyrics
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
it was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found of thee.
Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;
twas not so much that I on thee took hold,
as thou, dear Lord, on me.
I find, I walk, I love, but oh, the whole
of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee;
for thou wert long beforehand with my soul,
always thou lovedst me.
