Gentle Paean
I love you Lord, I love you with all my heart. Your hand has moved and my soul is at peace. I will sing your praise and tell of your loving Grace. I want to tell the world what you have done for me
From the wonders of your creation, it’s painted all around. Like the mighty mountains, Firm on solid ground. At its summit we marvel at its worth. Though my burdens were as high, gently you led me to the top.
Like the sea, so deep and wide, its waves, speak a mighty tune in our solitude, yet only you can tell, how far it goes. I know no depth of pain or an inch of sorrow can take away the joy to have placed in my heart.
Like the river, that mutters peace, but its source, No science can clearly reveal, yet your beauty lies peacefully within. You will always have a place in my heart because there peace will never cease.
The sun, moon and stars that enchants the blue sky with varying rays of light, you command them to move to suit our mood. Such gifts of life and light, I will always know you are near.
The winds from nowhere, with its speed only you can control like thunder follows lightening, the clouds gather to rain. I have many troubles but you have delivered me from them all.
What man can create such wonders, when man was made by you? With much love and majesty, to serve you and only you
Oh! That I could show the world what you have done for me. How you made me so pure, but I chose to live in filth and soot With love and grace, you reached out to me Over and over I turned you down You called me your child, and gave me your name. Still I turned away; you said you will wait, till I renew my faith
My fear was so strong, my faith was so weak, my friends were all gone, and I couldn’t go on.
How could it be? I felt so empty, yet I had plenty. I can’t run away, there must be a way I cried out to you And you reached your hand to an undeserving, unworthy and lost soul like me Forgiven and accepted, crowned child of the most high I love you Lord, I love to sing your praise.
