The One who loves me best

Katie Bartlett ’10, English Asst. Creative Works Editor

When my heart is overwhelmed

And my soul can find no rest,

When life is full of trials

And just living seems a test,

When hope is far from view

And I walk in weariness,

’Tis then that I go running

To the One who loves me best.

When joy renews my heart

And whene’er my life is blest,

When love seems all around

And my soul returns to rest,

And I walk in sweet communion

With the Lord of Life and Breath,

’Tis because I’m running

To the One who loves me best.

Day by day I’m finding

In Him is peace and rest.

For He is joy and grace untold,

And life in all its zest.

So it matters not the reason,

From joy to weariness,

Ever I’ll be running

To the One who loves me best.

Who is this One who loves me?

He who, for me and all the rest,

Shed His blood that we might live,

And loved us at our worst.

Unto us He’s calling, “Come,

I’ll give you rest,”

To anyone who’ll run to

The One who loves us best.
