My Love

Sitting here reminiscing, when I first fell in love

Remembering Your gentle touch, feeling like a dove

hearing Your voice, calling me to be Your love.

I remember back to when I first held Your hand,

Promising to cherish You, in this foreign land.

I know I will always be the apple of Your eye.

as a result of Your steadfast love that will never die.

When dark nights come, when I’m feeling lost and scared,

when all of my courage has quickly disappeared,

It’s then I hear Your soothing voice

gently reminding me

That I have nothing to fear

Because I belong to You and You are always here.

There was a time, when You proved Your love for me

and showed me, once and for all,

You will never, ever leave me.

With powerful action for my sins, You died upon a tree.

It was on the cross

where You displayed Your love for all to see.

When I heard the news You had died, I admit I cried,

but tears of sadness quickly turned into tears of joy

When You arose and I found You standing by my side.

You said You had to go, to prepare a place for me,

a home filled with perfect love, joy and tranquility

Where we will reside together, for eternity.

My love, there are still times when I feel very discouraged

When I grow suddenly afraid and need to be encouraged.

Even so, I am still quick to rejoice

because before leaving to depart

You left a promise that I took to heart.

You will return and there with Your voice

In the clouds You will be

calling me to join You, indefinitely.
