You dwell in my heart,
You are always here;
You whisper words of wisdom,
You hear my words of prayer.

You warm me with hope,
You embrace me with love,
You shine truth on my path,
You fix my eyes Above.

You hold my hand gently,
You lead me, You guide,
No matter what befalls me,
You are ever by my side.

How can this be, my Lord,
You wish to walk with me?
You are the Creator of all,
All that is, was and will be.

You look at me and smile,
Child, because I love you so;
Surely one look at My Cross,
My vast love you will know.

You take me in Your arms,
Suddenly we stand at Calvary;
My child, I bled for you
There upon the lonely tree.

I would die for you again
If I knew I but needed to;
Daughter, embrace this truth,
This is how much I love you.

Nothing can separate us,
Nothing above, nothing below;
From My wounds on Calvary
Eternal grace and mercy flow.

Remember then My love,
Remember I am always here,
Remember I take care of you,
Nothing you have to fear.

How I love You, my Lord,
Keep me in Your arms strong;
Yes, Your love I shall remember,
With You always I belong.

Jesus, reign in my heart,
Thank You for staying near:
So too I give You all my love,
For You I am always here.

Purposeful Pathway

I have been crucified with Christ
and I no longer live,
but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body,
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
