Heart Journey, 111-115

You ask me if I love you
I’ll tell you when
for it was when I formed you
But before even then
When no one even thought of you
I was your friend

You ask me if I love you
I’ll tell you why
From myself I made you
Myself I cannot deny
You ask me if I love you
I do not pretend
I will watch you and form you
From your beginning to your end
No more tender hand could touch you

No one could love you more
You cannot imagine
The treasure for you I’ve stored
You ask me if I love you
My creation bursts with praise
Cheering and applauding
Because of the you I have made
You ask me if I love you
I hold the hands of time
It was my bidding
Until you are completely mine

You ask me if I love you
Death waits for me
Completely at my calling
Until I’ve won your victory
You ask me if I love you
I will should it again and again
Forever past forever
I’ll love you my friend
Forever past forever
And still I”ll love you past then

Let even the soft breezes
Whisper His name
And caress the faces
Of unfolded flowers;
Because He is the almighty,
The Lord, and He made them.

Let even the soft breezes
Let the vast desert
Stretch all to Him
And all the creatures
Of day and night
Watch in endless awe and jubilation
For He is the almighty, the Lord,
And He made them.

Even the stones wait,
Timelessly to speak of His presence
And the rich warm earth
Waits for His coming to give life
For He is the almighty, the Lord,
And He alone made them

Yet, even if all these things
Were gathered together
In a mighty chorus, never
Could they begin to describe Him
So unsearchable,
Magnificent and timeless is He
For He is the almighty,
The Lord, and He alone made them.

Blessed is the head that bore my thorny woe 
Glorious the head that crushed my raging foe 

Blessed are the arms that hung on the cross for me 
Blessed are they that hold me now, so tenderly 

Blessed are the ears that heard my cries 
That hold within them my praises and sighs 

Blessed is the mouth whose words delivered me from strife 
Blessed is He who spoke me into the Book of Life 

Blessed are the feet that brought me His grace 
Blessed are the feet that stand before God, in my place 

Blessed is the heart that I have broken again, and again 
So very blessed is the One that loves me as a best friend 

Blessed is the face that I so long to see 
Blessed is His face what He will make of me 

Blessed is His fire that flames inside of me… 
It is so blessed 
So blessed that He thought of me 

For only you could make this so Lord
Could you share with me
A measure of your infinite
Sweetness and tenderness?
Pierce my ears with the music of your thoughts
Let my soul be in rapture over your beauty
Place a burning coal in my heart so that I might
Burn with your desires
Cover my eyes with your images
Your dreams and Your plans
Fill my ears with wisdom and love

Place in my hand your works
And in my arms your faithfulness
Strap your path on my feet
Illumine my mind with your purposes alone
Fill my mouth with your words that produce
Your life, your power, and your truths
Father fill me with your desires
May there be room for nothing else
But a living breathing life
In the image of Jesus

For your love has fallen
By the touch of your hand
may your Holy Spirit burn
And come to complete your plan

To raise up the name of Jesus
Raise Him up in me
The likeness of Jesus
My Father’s plan for me

Now may Father Son and Spirit
Rise and come
And fill my life
With the Holy One

So celebrate, so celebrate
Sing a merry song 
Death is gone

So celebrate, so celebrate!
Dance with victory;
Life has come and we are one
The three in one lives in me!
