The Power of Your Love

Lord, I come to You

Let my heart be changed, renewed

Flowing from the grace

That I've found in You

Lord, I've come to know

The weaknesses You see in me

Will be stripped away

By the power of Your love

Hold me close

Let Your love surround me

Bring me near

Draw me to Your side

And as I wait

I'll rise up like the eagle

And I will soar with You

Your Spirit leads me on

In the power of Your love

Lord, unveil my eyes

Let me see you face to face

The knowledge of Your love

As You live in me

Lord, renew my mind

As Your will unfolds in my life

In living everyday

By the power of your love

Hold me close

Let Your love surround me

Bring me near

Draw me to Your side

And as I wait

I'll rise up like the eagle

And I will soar with You

Your spirit leads me on

In the power of Your love

I'd forgotton how much I like this song. I awoke to it and had a sweet time of prayer before my day began. I hummed it for most of my day. My most favorite memory of this song is singing it in Romania, over a campfire or in a stuffy church. I can still hear sweet voices singing in a language that I love. And I sang along with them--in a language quite different from my own. So sweet and just as meaningful and heartfelt.

I'm so glad to have a God who I can praise while laying in bed in the morning with crazy hair, while in a church full of believers, or at a campfire in Romania with sweet orphans while, quite possibly, pronouncing words incorrectly. He knows my heart, and he loves me. He loves me in spite of me. And I love that.
