The Secret of the Lord

Verse 1

There’s a secret we can know Walking with the Lord below, And the bliss of such a life is constant joy; We can only find it true, When his footsteps we pursue, When our lives in his sweet service we employ.

Chorus

I’ve surrendered, now he fills me; I’m so glad I ever found this blessed way, ‘Tis a precious life to know, To have sunshine as you go, Hallelujah. I’m so glad I’ve entered in.

Verse 2

We can, like the saints of old, Who now walk the streets of gold, Have the witness of his presence every day; If in Jesus we abide, And our all to him confide, Then his blessed Spirit comes with us to stay.

Verse 3

He can quiet ev’ry storm, Bid the winds his will perform, Tho’ the sky’s so dark we cannot see our way; We can trust his hand to guide Even over Jordan’s tide And the clouds shall flee before eternal day.

Verse 4

Paul and Silas felt this pow’r, Singing at the midnight hour, Tho’ with bleeding backs they in a dungeon lay; They forgot to think of pain, For a wave from glory came; Praise the Lord! That pow’r is just the same today.
