I HAVE COME TO LOVE YOU,
For You have won my heart
When You revealed Your love to me.
My life will be a witness
Of such love and such forgiveness,
For You have given me Your peace,
And You’re everything I need.
I love to sing Your name,
To speak about Your fame,
You’re worthy of my praise.
I long to worship You
In spirit and in truth,
It’s all I want to do.
You have come to love me
And heal my broken heart,
Now I am reaching out to You.
Your strength is in my weakness,
I’m clinging to Your promise,
So let Your work in me shine through
In everything I do.
As I come before You now,
Let Your Spirit touch me;
I will make this gospel known.
Fill me with Your love and power
And Your compassion,
Through me let Your kingdom come.
Martin Cooper & Paul Oakley
