Faith Anthem

My soul sings for you a song

My heart to you does belong.

Beloved,

My love for you, a limpid fountain

My trust in you, a mighty mountain.

Behold,

As evening shadows draw near

Is it you, calming every fear?

I hear your laughter in the gurgling streams

And see you smile in guileless dreams.

Hide not from my seeking eyes,

Come, be with me, all through

What life without you?

You potter, me clay

Come once, give solace

I pray.

Having glimpsed you,

I stand apart,

Too pure is your heart.

Your love, calm after storm

Your mercy, a sweet return home.

Lead me, embrace me,

Be my Lord.

One thing I know,

You are my God.
