Duet

December 9th, 2008

I sing to you Lord

Forever I sing of how much I love You

Most awesome are You

Great is the extent of Your love

Should I seek to measure it, I wouldn’t be able

Should I dare fathom, I’d never fully understand

For, my King, what do You see in me?

Am I not but a filthy rag, worthy of the fire,

Deserving Your wrath?

Why do You love me, how come You always do?

Look at me Lord, and tell me what You see

Then would You still want any part in me?

I pour out all that I am to You

I needn’t spare any for myself

I will sing of Your love

Of Your never-ending compassion

And Your everlasting mercy

To You none shall ever compare

You are beautiful Lord, so much more beautiful

I’m Yours and You’re mine

To you I give myself

I live because of You

You are my purpose, my dream, my prize, my eternity

I live for You; You are my life

And because of Your goodness

I worry no more, for what good will it ever do me?

Never will sorrow so strongly overwhelm

Anger shall lose its power

And death shall solicit no more fear

Anxiousness will have no more part in me

Loneliness shall lose its grip

The enemy has been defeated

No longer shall it ever ensnare

For in Heaven and on earth, you have conquered

You have built Yourself as an everlasting fortress

In Your glory, I forever take refuge

Forever I am free

No longer can anything take hold of me
My King, I share in Your victory

When with the triumph of Your cry You sealed eternity

The Savior’s task is done

“It is finished!”

The Heavens smile upon You

And Your glory, Your children shall forever reflect

All that You ask of me Lord is to believe

And gladly I cater to Your request

For I believed and my eyes were opened

No longer am I blind

To the perishing Your word is but folly

To them You’re but a state of mind

But how Lord, can one not see You in the sky?
Your grandeur in a moonlit night?

How can one not hear You in the songs of Your creation-

The apples Of Your eye?

How can one not behold You in the strength of full surrender?

In the desperation of silent cries?
How can one not perceive You in the thunder of Your wrath?
That even in anger, good Lord, You seek only to love?
How can one be so blind as not to see,

So deaf as not to hear

So hardened as not to feel

The depth of Your love,

Your everlasting love?

When in Your wounds You cried out, ‘Be healed!’

In your sacrifice You whispered, ‘You are loved’

And in Your death You commanded, ‘Live!’?

I sing of You Lord forever

Let the whole world sing along with me.
