The essence of love
The promise of life
All that is good
Love sacrificed
My fountain of hope
My river of peace
Lord I believe that is what You are
That is what You are
Lord of love
You have come To dwell in me
I will trust
In the grace You’ve given freely
And as I cry out
I know You’re reaching
And as I touch You
You are all I’m needing
