How pleasant is your love O Lord, from the time of my birth you knew me and saw my nakedness and found my son. You bore my sins on the Cross and arose from the grave to show me the path to your salvation.
Forsaken, and ridiculed yet you make me the object of your love,
You overwhelmed me with your love and indulge me with your affection.
When the mountains forbade the way and the seas stood against me and with all other obstacles ahead of me yet You shook the earth for a season to bless me.
When I fell, bruised up and battered,
You hunch down the valley to pull me up. You comfort me and bind my wounds, carrying me over to a place of victory when I can no longer stand.
Bursting in joy, though shrunken of the water by the lack of rain, the terrible famine that caused even the young lions to be famished, yet You fed me when I was hungry, You clothed me when I was naked.
The condition is widespread, the cry of the children heard from a distance, yet you pay diligent attention to my cry, you inquired about me and gloat over me as if I was You're only child.
When in my journey of life becomes weary and the torns and thistles, protrude my side, You come to my rescue and with your healing Balm You sooth my pains.
Yet, ridding me of self pity, placing me near the furnace to strengthen me. For a few moment, You will say I only intended it for good My Son, soon you will be purified like gold.
When I fall asleep, You Lord will be at the other side of eternity to hold me in Your arms.
You are my forever Father, eternal God. You are my Rock, my Deliverer, My Stronghold, and My Shield.
For my life is truly yours O Lord, to You only do I belong, lead me by your Spirit O Lord, let me live for you for My life is only yours O Lord, only in You will I rest.
