Bring Back the Days of My Youth, Oh Jehova
Folder:
Faith, God, and the future Bring back the days of my youth, Oh Jehova
The faith as a child I carried
Bring back the preaching and soul stirring songs
Conviction I felt as thou tarried
Bring back the joy that only thou giveth
The peace that cometh only from thee
Bring back the bliss from thy holy kiss
Thy grace so rich and free
Bring back the joy of a 5 year-old boy
Who suddenly learned of his sin
He called your name and then he cought the flame
His soul was cleansed from within
Bring back the song of an 8 year-old child
Who went down into the water
He came up to walk in the newness of life
As the devils all began to shudder
Bring back the spirit he had at 14
As revival he felt for the first time
Filled with the spirit he cried at 16
'I want to serve you full time!'
Forgive me my father for falling away
For coming short of my comitment
Revive me again and give me thy wisdom
So that you may find fofillment
Give me a heart that aches for the lost
A passion for souls that are parishing
Send me out to the highways and hedges
To shew them the grace they are missing
May I let my light so shine
As a city upon a hill
May I be a beacon and salt to the earth
Obeying thy blessed will
May thy word ring as thy praises we sing
To every far distant shore
May revival there be and may it start with me
Thy salvation abound more and more!
Convict men of sin and bring them within
Save their wives and their mothers
May every soul submit to thy control
Increase my sisters and brothers
I wish once again to surrender my life,
My soul, my body, my all
Lord hear my voice in my present distress
Help me to answer the call
(Selah)
Bring back the days of my youth, Oh Jehova
The faith as a child I carried
Bring back the preaching and soul stirring songs
Conviction I felt as thou tarried
