Said “venison,” when goat he had.
But soon he was lied to,
Sorrows he often knew.
Sinful “oats” multiply like mad.

My soul today is thirsting for living streams divine, To sweep from highest Heaven to this poor heart of mine;
I stand upon the promise, in Jesus’ name I plead; O send the gracious current to satisfy my need.
Refrain
Like a mighty sea, like a mighty sea, Comes the love of Jesus sweeping over me;
The waves of glory roll, the shouts I can’t control; Comes the love of Jesus sweeping o’er my soul.
