Emmett brought "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior" to our group with the arrangement and everything and we fell in love with it! Mom even worked more on her bass bowing technique and it sounds so lovely. Hope the lyrics encourage you and the message of this beautiful song brings you peace.

►LYRICS - Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior
Pass me not, O gentle Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art smiling
Do not pass me by

Savior, Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by

Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet release
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief

Savior, Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by

Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit
And save me by Thy grace

Savior, Savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by [x2]
