Lyrics

One (Em)night while (C)on life’s rag ing sea, it (C7)looked as if I would suf fer de feat.

As the black ness of night closed off the (Am)light, my (D7)heart sank with (G)fear.

My des p’rate (C)cry rang out with fright.

(C7)All I could (F7)see was no hope in (C)sight.

With faith all but gone, I met the (Am)One who came (G)look in’ for (C)me.

He came (C7)look in’ for (F7)me,

He came look in’ for (C)me.

He made a way when there was no (Am)way (D7)that I could (G)see.

When I drift ed (C)far, (F)Je sus was (C)near to res cue my (E7)soul, calm all my (F)fears.

Now I’m safe from all (C)harm since (Am)I met the (D7)One who came (G7)look in’ for (C)me.

(Em)Sa tan had al (C)read y picked out my grave.

His (C7)plan had moved (F)for ward to put me a way.

I’d drift ed so far, would an y one (Am)care that (D7)I’d soon be (G)lost?

I knew my de (C)struc tion was a (F)mat ter of (C)time.

But (C7)Je sus ap (F7)peared, said, “This one is (C)mine.” Now I’m (F)safe with no (C)harm, for He walked through the storm.

He came (G)look in’ for (C)me.

He came (C7)look in’ for He came look in’ for (G7)me,

yes, He came look in’ for (D)me.

(G)He made a way when there was no (Bm)way (E7)that I could (A)see.

I (B)drift ed so (E)far, but (F#m7)Je sus was (E)near to res cue my (G#)soul and calm all my (A)fears.

Now I’m safe from all (E)harm since (C#m)I met the (F#m7)One who came (B7)look in’ for (E)me.

Now I’m safe from all harm since (C#m)I met the (F#m7)One who came (B7)look in’ for (E)me.
