My Lord And I

I have a Friend so precious,
So very dear to me;
He loves me with such tender love,
He loves so faithfully;
I could not live apart from Him,
I love to feel Him nigh;
And so we dwell together,
My God and I.


I tell Him all my sorrows,
I tell Him all my joys;
I tell Him all that pleases me,
I tell Him what annoys;
He tells me what I ought to do,
He tells me how to try;
And so we talk together,
My Lord and I.


He knows that I am longing,
Some weary soul to win;
And so He bids me go and speak,
The loving word for Him;
He bids me tell His wondrous love,
And why He came to die;
And so we work together,
my Lord and I.
