My God how I love You
I sing in the street
And I dance in the field
Honour and praise are on my lips
As at Your Feet I kneel
You are everywhere I go
Heavenly Papa You are with me
I know You love me so
In You alone my safety lies
Father you have taken me
On bright paths
And down nightmare alleys
To teach me Your Ways
You have never left me
And when I look back
I can see You there
In every part of every track
Oh Papa please forgive me
So often I have failed
Why did you make me wayward
Such a rebel child
You have seen me weep
For longing want of You
Lost and in pain
But still You rescued me again and again
The Gifts You have given me
Are my brightest stars
Yet it could never be enough
For me to repay
My prayers rise before You
With all those needy wants
And with Your Grace You bless me
In everything I do
My passionate heart runs over
For my love of You
Wherever You have led
The burdens have just fallen
And flowers grow instead
Holy Papa Your beauty is too much
My heart breaks with yearning just for You
How can I stay in this barren place
Where there is so much to do
Yet still You bid me stay
In this dark and broken land
And You leave me with Heavenly Glimpses
I often don’t understand
You do not desert me
And Your ‘food’ sustains me
With Tastes of Heaven I pray
And those Divine Pictures
Help me on Your Way
You have promised to be with me
And it seems my darling Papa
This is Your final Command
Go out and find the lost
In the places I will send you
Within that foreign land
Oh Papa, my amazing Holy Papa.
