Abundantly

Barren as a barren land,
Life was set to be,
Without a hope or prayer,
Before you came to me,
Like the sands without sea,
Dry and thirsty land,
Life with no future,
Nothing ever planned,
Until your streams of love,
Until you spoke to me,
Until you opened my eyes,
That caused my sight to see,
When my eyes was opened,
The love you gave to me,
Was flowing from the rivers,
Down from heaven into me,
That caused new life to grow,
Forever abundantly.
