LORD

Should You ever stop loving me
I shall surely die
For You are the breath that fills me
And keeps my soul alive.

You are the sight
By which I see
All that my life finds wonder in
The source of all that I believe.

The sounds that You whisper
For me to hear
Grant me the strength
To face my fear.

The bitter and the sweet
On my tongue’s taste
Teach and guide my ways
That I may be chaste.

But it is the gentle soft touch
Of Your love in my heart
That gives me warmth
In joy, I know, now I am part.
