Oh Lord My savior Do Not Pass Me By

Oh, Lord, my Savior, do not pass me by,
In this wilderness of trials, I cry,
I yearn for your touch, your gentle voice,
A moment's peace, a lifetime's choice.

You passed through the jail, and chains were broken,
You stilled the storm, and the sea was woken,
Water turned to wine, at your command,
The blind received sight, in your loving hand.

Pass by me not, my Savior, I implore,
I believe in your power, forevermore,
To change every situation, to make me whole,
Without you, I'm lost, a ship without a soul.

A boat without a radar, adrift in the night,
I need your presence, your guiding light,
Like Joseph, freed from prison's darkest cell,
Or Jonah, saved from the fish's belly, I too, want to tell.

You rescued them, oh Lord, in times of need,
In fiery furnaces, they found your gentle breeze,
Do not pass me by, my Savior, stay with me,
I'm broken, weak, and longing to be free.

Talk to me, Lord, one on one, face to face,
Let me hear your whisper, in this crowded space,
All I need is you, your presence, your love,
A heartbeat's pause, a soul's revival, from above.

In your presence, I find my strength,
A refuge from life's storms, a peaceful length,
Do not pass me by, my Savior, I pray,
For in you, I find my way.
