Blind Willie McTell - Hide Me in Thy Bosom Lyrics

Now hear me singing
Hear the words that I'm saying
Wash my soul with water from on high
In a world of sin around me
No evil thoughts can bound me
Lord, if you leave me I will die

You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above

You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above

Make my journey brighter

Make my burden lighter
Help me to do good wherever I can
Let thy presence thrill me
Let the holy spirit fill me
And just hold me in the hollow of your hand

Well you just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
You just rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above
You just hide me in thy bosom
'Til the storm of life is over
Rock me in the cradle of thy love
Then you feed me, 'til I want no more
Then you take me to that blessed home above
