Remember Me

From the dungeons of despair O let me rise
Unswaddled of sin and care
Pure again to claim the promise of Eden's prize
O tell me, Lord, You are near
 
                  CHORUS
                  Remember me, coming home again
                  Earth's illusions all I have seen
                  Remember me, covered with your stain
                  Wash me whole, Jesus, make me clean

Shackles of need, O let them fall, truth my triumph now
Blessed truth from your love outpoured
Transformed by its creed, my temple in your temple bow
Ransomed by griefs you endured.

Blind child from dust, lost in the glow of vain self's dream
Do you not want Eden still
Chains are broken in waters from Jordon's pure stream
God's faith waits your yielded will.

The storms of tonight, they are over now at last
 Wings of day, ready to go
We have made it through fires and winters' frosty blast
Lead O Jesus, your glories overflow.
