How Could I Exist

When earthly riches are gone
	When my Joy is depleted
		You fill me to overflowing

When trial and tribulation come flooding in
	You lead me to the Rock that’s higher

When my heart has no song to sing
	You are my song

How then Father, could I exist without Your love?

When I fall and am wounded
	You pour Your healing balm over me

When sleep leaves me from worries
	You lay me to rest with assurance in my heart

When I hurt from losses
	You bless me abundantly 
		Beyond my ability to receive

How then Father, could I exist without Your love?

How, oh how Father God, could I exist without Your love?!
