My Life Was Just a Tangled Knot 1. My life was just a tangled knot, all twisted out of shape From cares and problems, till I knew I needed to escape. I brooded, and I searched and thought, then plann'd so carefully A brilliant solution, that with God's help, I'd be free. 2. The plan was mine, but with God's help I felt I would be bless'd; And so I was my saviour still, and so I found no rest! But then a new light from God's Word shone in my darken'd mind; Another way appeared to me, which only God could find. 3. My Lord, I'm just a helpless child, forgive my unbelief; I give the problems all to You, in Your way, bring relief. From deepest darkness, lead me forth by Your almighty hand; Alone You know the certain way, and on Your Word I stand. 4. Now I have deepest, deepest peace, and truest, truest rest; The Lord alone, my problems solves by His almightiness. And now I see Him solve them all without my foolish help; The Lord is really Saviour now, He saves me from myself.
