Man of God

O man of God whom I love
I consecrate my heart to thee
And to His plan and His will
I have yet to know or see

Sealed up and written
My heart cannot be undone
As is my love for God
My love for you is one

Yet I consecrate it daily
As you both have asked of me
A mite of great worth
A sacrifice the world can’t see

For distance means so little
When someone means so much
Your eternal happiness
Entices far more than your touch

Silent prayers like a cloak
Surround you with their love
Strengthen and protect him
Guide his purpose from above

For love is patient in devotion
So I’ll keep your pathway clear
Of myself and my desires
So you can always keep Him near

Follow after righteousness
And know you’re not alone
My love will always be with you
Even though it goes unshown
