A Love Song

O my God, you are so holy,

You humble yourself to behold,

The heavens of heavens.

 

O Lord Jesus, you took my nature,

You condescended to indwell me:

Forever indebted.

___

 

From the first day I met you,

All I wanted to do was break my life before you:

A victim of love.

 

Your call is holy and I'm unworthy,

This fills my heart with holy yearning,

To be all that you want.

 

Refrain:

I've fought a good fight,

Finished my course,

Kept the faith (to the end)!

 

Then I remember all my rebellion,

O you suffered long under my transgressions - 

What a fool have I been!

 

How can the captives of your beauty,

Turn from the commandment, O so holy?

My heart is shattered.

 

Refrain

 

No man can love you that doesn't obey you,

So I keep your commandments: they're a song in the night

To your holy one.

 

Now I'll spend my days till my latest hours,

Singing this love song of pure obedience:

It's a love song...

 

Refrain
