All I need to cleanse and make me  fully      whole. 2. From my heart and now He  keeps me by His     power. 3. From His manna He my      hungry   soul shall fill.           C                             G 1. In     sorrow He’s my comfort, in    trouble He’s my stay; 2. Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, 3. Then   sweeping up to glory to       see His blessèd face,                                           D    D7 1. He tells me every care on Him to       roll. 2. Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. 3. Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
