~ Praise ~

My precious Lord, I love You
and I offer praise to You
For choosing me to be Your child
and for the things You do.
I talk to You throughout the day
and, sometimes, through the night.
With loving arms You cradle me
and take away my fright.
I never have to walk alone,
for You are by my side;
Encouraging and comforting,
my stumbling steps to guide.

Although I cannot fully
comprehend salvation's plan
Or why the earth's Creator
chose to die for sinful man ...
I thank You for the love that bore
the cross, my debt to pay,
And for the sacred blood that
flowed to take my sins away.
My heart finds solace just to know
that You've prepared a place
Where, someday, I will live with You;
a trophy of Your grace.

You've been so wonderful to me,
so faithful through the years;
Supplying all my deepest needs
and drying all my tears ...
That praises seem inadequate;
mere words cannot express
My thankfulness and awe
at Your majestic holiness.
I can but sing a song of love,
a hymn of heartfelt praise,
As humbly I bow down to You
in worship all my days.
