The Love HE Gives

I can not live on man’s terms…
I must live for my Lord.

For He is the Light of my life;
The joy that builds me up.

He grants me mercy and showers me with grace
I cannot abandon the love He gives.

He fills my soul with joy and gladness;
And makes my heart sing the song of praise.

He separates me from my sin and washes me clean.
I am made new under the cloak of His righteousness.

From everlasting to everlasting, His love remains.
I cannot abandon the love He gives.

He has set me upon a rock; the rock of His salvation.
In Him and only Him can I put my trust.

He gives me a new name and a new heart.
In Him, I will never be put to shame.

His Kingdom shall stand forever and never fade.
I cannot abandon the love He gives.

I close the door on the past, it is far from me.
I put my heart in the hand of my Lord.

He will fill every empty place
And grant me peace and quiet in the storm.

His hand is strong, His shelter is firm.
I cannot abandon the love He gives.

All the days of my life I long to be closer Him.
Lord, remove those things that keep me from You.

Help me to be faithful to Your call and Your care.
Do not let anything lead me astray.

Dethrone the idols of my heart; I long to be Yours alone.
I cannot abandon the love You give.
