    Feed Me Lord That I Might Live

    Feed me Lord that I might live,
    wanting nought but life with thee;
    let me serve and freely give;
    feed me Lord that I might live; (Line Repeats from first)
    pardon sins that I relive,
    then accept my fealty;
    feed me Lord that I might live, (Line Repeats again)
    wanting nought but life with thee (Line Repeats from second)

    When did you come to hold my heart?

    When did you come to hold my heart,
    to tie my soul with lines of love?
    I miss you from the time we part;
    when did you come to hold my heart? (Line Repeats from first)

    Perchance you chose an ancient art
    whereby wise women make men move;
    when did you come to hold my heart, (Line Repeats again)
    to tie my soul with lines of love? (Line Repeats from second)
