A Love Song

A LOVE SONG Oh Father God! I humbly kneel, On bended knee today Before your throne of grace, I sing this love song To you oh my almighty LORD! Oh Father God! You picked me up When I was down, Unconditional Is your love for me? And that was what I needed most. Oh Father God! You gave me strength To carry on, When the only thing I’d felt before, Was weakness in my soul? And heart? Oh Father God! You gave me understanding, At a time when all I felt, Was bitterness, hatred, And beset by an unforgiving heart, Yet your love shone through for me With compassion, And a direction true. Oh Father God, You have into my spirit given, Replaced the down with up, Weaknesses with strength of character, A sorrowful soul with joy behold, Confusion with clarity of mind, Hatred with an agape love, And instead of bitterness Now a heart full of joy. Oh Father God! Before THEE I kneel, On this centre stage of life As I raise my voice and sing This love song to you my LORD, For all the hope And all the freedom You have given me That on thermals high I can soar and fly, Like an eagle free, For you My GOD! Francis Cooper - Mac pre 1997
