To myself I must again restrain
From dancing in the pouring rain;
For this joy I can't myself retain
Yet, praise of Christ alone remains!
This feeling I dare not explain
Nor can I tell you how to attain.
But I do know this you must obtain
The Love of Christ; not to feign.
You must egress-to self be slain.
To dwell in His Spirit's domain,
Loosen the tight sin bound chain.
Losing self to Christ will sustain!
He brings upon the healing rain
Undone becomes life's blemished stain.
