My life bearing my soul’s Light of illumining truth radiance YOU shield me from grievous engulfment of ignorance-obscurity… I come to YOU with divine affection, moved by YOUR sublime love: affirming, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”. Life of my essence YOU are the great Saviour author of my redemption eternal freeing me from hell’s wrath forever… To YOU do I yield my loving esteem that can’t commensurate YOUR sacrifice: proclaiming, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so.” Enabling my life YOU are the good Shepherd offering to me YOUR grace packed with pardon toward gratitude… Indeed, loving YOU along faith that pleases YOU is my best response: asserting, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”. With YOU, my life fulfillment wraps me around YOUR compassion wholeness… Since YOU first loved me… I’m privileged to love and serve YOU, my LORD GOD, my LIFE:* testifying, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”. *John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
