DYING THAT I MIGHT LIVE, by CHARLES WESLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Jesus hath died that I might live Last Line: And where thou art is heaven. Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Jesus hath died that I might live, Might live to God alone; In Him eternal life receive, And be in spirit one. Saviour, I thank Thee for the grace, The gift unspeakable; And wait with arms of faith to embrace, And all Thy love to feel. My soul breaks out in strong desire The perfect bliss to prove; My longing heart is all on fire To be dissolved in love. Give me Thyself; from every boast, From every wish set free; Let all I am in Thee be lost, But give Thyself to me. Thy gifts, alas! cannot suffice, Unless Thyself be given; Thy presence makes my paradise, And where Thou art is heaven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
