Only God
Where is the hand that draws me near?
Where is the voice that makes my way clear?
Where is the love that casts out all fear?
Only, God, with you.
You are the one, whose loving embrace
Banishes fear in the darkest place.
My cares grow dim as I look on your face.
You make all things new.
To whom does my soul love to sing?
To whom, my best, do I long to bring?
To whom do I owe everything?
Only, God, to you.
You are the one who gives me a song,
Who loves me despite the things I do wrong.
You are the one to whom I belong.
My God, I live for you!
Who knew me long before I was born?
Who loved me when they had reason for scorn?
Who paid the price that left me forlorn?
My Jesus, it was you!
You were born in this world and like other men lived.
Through your generous life you showed us how to give.
Through your death on the cross you taught us to forgive.
My Lord, I worship you!
