1. When the storm winds rage and the rain falls fast,
And the clouds hang low above,
I shall be secure till the storm is past,
For I trust my Savior’s love.
And he knows the way and he holds my hand,
And he will not let it go;
He will lead me home to that better land,
Just because He loves me so.
2. It was not that I as so good or great,
For my heart was vile with sin;
I had turned my back on the narrow gate,
Neither cared nor lived for him:
But I pleased myself and I chose my way,
For his grace I did not know;
But he sought me still thru the night and day,
Just because he loved me so.
3. If he loved me so when I grieved him sore
That he sought me tenderly,
Till he won my heart and my sins he bore,
So that I his child might be;
Will he love me less since I love him, too,
So my heart with fervor glows,
And I haste each day all his will to do
That my willing spirit knows?
4. I will trust his love, for it e’er will last,
It is rich and warm and free;
Thru the years of life it will hold me fast,
And my help and comfort be.
To my waiting heart all its treasures rare,
As a sparkling stream shall flow;
In the joy of God I shall ever share,
Just because he loves me so.
