1. Since I started out to find Thee,
Since I to the Ark did flee,
Ev’ry bridge is burned behind me,
I will never turn from Thee.
Chorus:
Strengthen all the ties that bind me
Closer, closer, Lord, to Thee;
Ev’ry bridge is burned behind me,
Thine I evermore will be.
2. Thou didst hear my plea so kindly,
Thou didst grant me so much grace;
Ev’ry bridge is burned behind me,
I will ne’er my steps retrace.
3. Cares of life perplex and grind me,
Yet I keep the narrow way;
Ev’ry bridge is burned behind me,
I from Thee will never stray.
4. All in all, I ever find Thee,
Savior, Lover, Brother, Friend;
Ev’ry bridge is burned behind me,
I will serve Thee to the end.
