"I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO TELL YOU BUT YOU CAN NOT BEAR IT NOW."

"IT IS GOOD THAT I GO BECAUSE THEN THE COMFORTER WILL COME AND HE SHALL LEAD YOU INTO ALL THINGS."

THESE VERSES ARE QUOTES AS BEST THAT I CAN REMEMBER THEM. THEY ARE FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT. JESUS SAID THESE APPROXIMATE WORDS TO HIS DISCIPLES. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO LOOK UP THE PRECISE WORDS AND REFERENCES, THAT WOULD BE WELCOMED.

LET ME NOT CONSTRAIN YOU, LORD, FROM WHAT YOU WOULD DO-
RATHER, MAY YOU CONSTRAIN ME BY YOUR GREAT LOVE;
YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN TAKE,
WHAT I CAN DO,
HOW MUCH I CAN HANDLE,
WHAT WILL LEAD ME ASTRAY.
CONSTRAIN MY HEART, OH LORD-
THAT I MAY BE PLEASED WITH YOUR WORD TO ME;
LET ME NOT LOOK TO ANOTHER,
LET MY NOT GO AWAY,
FOR YOU ALONE KNOW MY ONLY SOUL-
YOU OWN IT OUTRIGHT.
TO WHOM WOULD I GO ANYWAY?
I WILL REMAIN IN YOU ALONE.
LET ME NOT RESIST YOUR HOLY SPIRIT,
LET ME NOT TURN AWAY,
LET ME BE PLEASED TO STAY IN THEE,
FOR YOU HAVE DIED FOR ME.
TAKE ME JESUS,
TAKE ME NOW,
LET ME NOT GO OUT THERE ALONE.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEST,
WHAT IS BEST FOR ME;
YOU CAN SEE BEYOND THE DISTANT SEA,
YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEST-
WHAT IS BEST FOR ME;
AND IN YOU I DELIGHT,
AND IN YOU I AM SET FREE.
IN YOU I SOAR,
IN YOU IS MY TRANQUILITY;
SO I REST IN YOUR BOSOM-
QUIET DO I LAY;
RESTING ON MY SAVIOR'S CHEST,
AS HE WATCHES OUT FOR ME.
