I will sing to You a love song
From the bottom of my heart
I will sing of love eternal
For in You love had its start
I will sing of endless mercy
That has set the captives free
I will sing of living water
That is bubbling up in me
I will sing to You a love song
As I dance before Your throne
I will sing of all the glory
That belongs to You alone
I will sing because You’re worthy
I will left Your name on high
For You are my heart’s desire
I will praise You, Adonai
My first love, most precious love
I long for You embrace
My spirit is enraptured when
I look upon Your face
Most precious is Your love for me
More than the air I breathe
You know that I would die for You
It is in You I live
Take everything I have to give
My spirit, heart, and soul
My life is Yours forever more
To please You is my goal
These tears are tears of gratitude
These tears are tears of love
These tears are tears of utter joy
My Father God above
These tears are tears I can’t contain
These tears come from within
These tears are tears of wonderment
Fed from the Spirit Spring
These tears and laughter mingle
These tears that freely flow
These tears are tears of reverence
Because I love You so
Every day I love You more
In Your love I am secure
You’re the Bread of Life to me
Living waters, flowing free
In my heart there’s ecstasy
Knowing You are here with me
Your sweet touch brings joy untold
Your caress is more than gold
You give gifts so generously
You whisper secrets lovingly
Transforming me from day to day
To be like You in every way
This country’s filled with hatred
Based on fear and prejudice
So much violence, so much unrest
And so much unhappiness
So many thefts, so many muggings
Countless murders, rape and strife
Demonstrations, protest marches
Looting, senseless loss of life
Innocents are doused with petrol
Set alight midst cheering crowds
They are stoned and mutilated
No-one heeds the pain filled shouts
Pangas, AK47’s
And Bazookas now abound
Toys no longer interest children
They prefer the killing grounds
But within this land of darkness
There is also so much love
And compassion in the people
Born again of God above
My love is like a breath of Spring
His voice the cooing of a dove
His song that of a nightingale
His laughter rich and full of love
His eyes reveal His inner thoughts
His thoughts a harvest of ripe wheat
His smile lights up the darkest night
His words a pomegranate sweet
His hands strong as a mighty tower
Yet soft as down upon my face
His arms are like a mighty fortress
And I am safe in His embrace
Hem Israel in behind and before
To keep every evil at bay
For her salvation is surely at hand
May Israel repent in this day
And, Father, I pray You’ll protect Your flock
Against powers who seek to destroy
May the seed that is planted, bear fruit, every one
May Your chosen rejoice with great joy
Open blind eyes and make deaf ears to hear
The truth that’s been hidden so long
For till Israel comes in, we will not be complete
In Your strength make her perfect and strong
The land of the promise is under attack
And the heathens seek to control
The West Bank and Gaza, and all they can grab
Lord, restore her and make her whole
A pagan temple defiles the place
Where Your holy temple stood tall
Destroy this abomination, my Lord
See the tears at the wailing wall
Embrace her again as You did long ago
Hide her under Your wings in this day
May she know her Messiah who’s waited so long
For her love and acceptance, I pray
Was ever any friend so true
Was any man so faithful
Was anyone so full of love
Was even one so stable
Unchanging through the changing years
His love is sure and strong
Though other loves may change their minds
And often do you wrong
His arms are always opened wide
When you need loving care
He’ll never turn His back on you
Nor leave you standing there
Love is the key to Heaven’s door
Without Love you can’t enter in
Love is forgiveness and Love endures
Love overcomes vile sin
Love is the Destroyer of fear and doubt
Love is an anchor so sure
Love is a Lighthouse in stormy seas
Love is the greatest cure
Love is compassionate, love seeks the lost
Seeks out the desolate soul
Love is the healer of broken hearts
Love touches and makes them whole
Love hears the faintest of whispers
Prayed in the midst of a storm
Love loves the unlovable outcast
And keeps him safe from harm
Love is the Giver of good things
Love loves the young and the old
Love embraces the lost sheep
And leads them into the fold
How cruel the crown of bitter thorns
The soldiers shoved upon Your head
How blasphemous and foolish they
Who mocked and laughed as blood flowed red
And when You groaned in agony
As the lash ripped to the bone
Did the soldiers feel excitement
Were their hearts as hard as stone
When the soldiers bashed the hammers
On the nails repeatedly
Which tore right through Your hands and feet
Did they do so laughingly
Did any of the blood they shed
Spill onto them that dreadful day
And if so, did the soldiers curse
And wash Your precious blood away
And when a soldier took a spear
And pierced it deeply in Your side
To find You were already dead
Did he think his work justified
But one soldier standing near You
Heard Your cry and saw You die
And realized You ‘re the Son of God
Did he repent then, did he cry
