Jacob's plea

I will not let You go

I will keep my hold

I make Jacob's fleeting plea

because You first loved me

There is none like Thee

oh Lord You first loved me

so much to die on Calvary

I will not let You go

I will keep my hold

I make Jacob's plea

oh how I love Thee

because You first loved me

my strength is fleeting Lord

temptations rampant strain

I need You in the joyous times

I need You through my pain

I will not let You go

I will keep my hold

I make Jacob's plea

oh how I love Thee

because You first loved me

Jesus You're the lover of my soul

come in my heart and make me new

I lay down all for the Way the Life the Truth

I lay it all down Jesus 

I lay it down for You

I will not let You go

I will keep my hold

I make Jacob's plea

oh so desperately

oh how I love Thee

because Jesus You first loved me
