the light of His face
when on me He does shine it
the strength of His hand
molded tightly ’round mine
the power of a love
so intense, so consuming
it breaks up my stone heart
one piece at a time
a love firm and steady
how can I still be faithless?
again and again pull
my hand from His grip
but my lack and each mistake
shine the brighter a spotlight
His love never changing though
my loyalties constantly flip
His unwavering devotion
draws me back ever nearer
and I long for the day
when my love be proved true
as each morning I wake
and find Him still beside me
with a face full of love
and of mercies brand new.
