In vain I tried a thousand ways
My fear to quell, my hopes to raise.
But what I need through all my days
Is Jesus, is Jesus.
My soul is night, my heart is steel.
I cannot see, I cannot feel.
For light, for life, I must appeal
To Jesus, to Jesus.
He died, he lives, he reigns, he pleads.
There's love in all his words and deeds.
He's all a guilty sinner needs.
He's Jesus, King Jesus.
