O my saviour, lifted
from the earth for me,
draw me, in your mercy,
nearer Calvary.
2. Lift my earth-bound longings;
fix them, Lord, above:
draw me with the magnet
of your mighty love.
3. Lord, your arms are stretching
ever far and wide,
to enfold your children
to your loving side.
4. And I come, Lord Jesus;
dare I turn away?
No! your love has conquered
and I come today.
5. Bringing all my burdens,
sorrow, sin and care,
at your feet I lay them
and I leave them there.
