I LOVE YOU, LORD BECAUSE

I love you, Lord because you heard my cry for mercy.

I love you, Lord because you heard my voice and answered me.

Though the fears of death surround me

I won't be afraid if you are there.

When I call your name you hear me,

When I am brought low I find you near.

It is to you I lift up my eyes, only you.

What can I give for all you've done for me so freely?

I will make known your overwhelming love that rescued me.

I'll complete all I have promised

In the presence of your people here,

Calling on your name for ever,

Living always in your house of prayer.

It is to you I lift up my eyes, only you.

It is to you I lift up my eyes, only you.
