I WANT TO TELL YOU OF MY WONDER,
I stand in awe of You.
I want to tell You of Your beauty
Your purity shines through.
Lord, I lose myself in Your presence,
And I lose myself in Your praise
When I lose myself in You I’m found again.
(2nd x only)
(When I lose myself in You I find my way.)
So many pressures are upon me,
To take my eyes off You,
But You’re my Author and perfecter:
Come, write this day in You.
I want to tell You You are worthy
Of all that I can give.
I want to tell You You are lovely;
You made my Spirit live.
Gareth Paul Taylor
