Heavenly Father,
Heavenly Father,
What about love? Dear God… what about love?
Love is the reason I have always felt sure
You’re in my heart – You’re there in my soul
Love is the assurance that I can always know
You’re still here with me, filling me, sealing me
Assuring my thoughts and my hopes and my light
Filling me with insight, inspiration and imagination
Enlightening my dreams with faith that believes!
What about love? Dear Lord… what about love?
I question your light, your heart, your spirit
Will you really love me, even when I’m timid
Will you still love me, even when I can’t pray
Will you still love me, even when I don’t wait
For your spirit to reveal to me… the gentleness
The feeling that You whisper through my soul
Letting me know that I’ll always be yours!
What about love, Heavenly Father, What about love?
Then I remember that Your love is a given
It never fades and it is never shadowed by
A lack of faith or shallow grace – it always is
The way, the truth, the life – it always waits
On the heart and soul to pray and praise and stay
Where they should stay – filled with this joy
This faith, hope and love that is alive, a guide
Toward forever and always, eternity with You
The glue that holds my life together, makes me
Feel the pleasure of knowing that your love
Is always there, always prepared to fill me
With a sense of purpose, a kindness, a worthiness
Because the love that comes alive on your breath
Is a love that gives my mind its ability to think
My soul the power to feel hope that truly lives
And my heart the capacity to give from the spirit
Your love, my dear Father, is a love that is alive
Always on fire, always fervent and warm, zealous
Like the stars twinkling or the sun blinking above
Love like this knows no bounds – it is wild and willing
To bring joy to even the edges of Your forever!
Love like this is a gift I’ll always treasure
Thank You, Father – for love that lasts forever!
