Intervene

My life was full of grief and pain So scared was I, and so unclean My efforts for relief were vain With tears, I begged You, “Intervene!” I waited as the weeks went past For You to come and heal my soul Then to my room You came at last Your Spirit touched me, made me whole And thus, Your comfort, love, and peace Have filled my heart–have made me sing You caused my griefs and fears to cease That day You came to intervene With daily strength, and daily care You lift me up when I am low And when I need You most, You’re there You’ve touched my heart–that fact I know Yes, You are kind and You are good Those truths I’ve tasted and I’ve seen You do the things I never could Whene’er You come to intervene Oh, how I love to see Your hand To see Your grace and love revealed In any harsh or arid land When You will touch me, I am healed Now doubts have no more place in me Your miracles my eyes have seen For when my trust and hope is Thee You always, someway, intervene His presence makes my heart so free What satisfies me more than this? For when my Savior comes to me And touches me–what peace! What bliss! And now, when wars or sorrows rise Remind me, Yah, of what I’ve seen To You I’ll lift my weary eyes And wait for You to intervene
