Isaiah 45:19: Commanded, Lord, and drawn by Thee

Commanded, Lord, and drawn by Thee
Have I not sought Thy face,
And ask'd for half a century
Thy heart-renewing grace?
Yet is my prayer unanswer'd still,
My heart is unrenew'd.
Throughout my fallen soul I feel
That I am void of God.

But wilt Thou suffer me to die
Such as I now remain?
It cannot, cannot be, that I
Should seek my God in vain:
My soul into Thy hands I give,
And hold the promise fast,
And seeking on, I must beUeve,
I must be saved at last.
