" Jesus, my God,
the greatest love I've ever known,
I'm in awe of
the love towards me that You have shown.
I take a breath so not to cry.
Who am I, Lord? Who am I
that You would love me as much as You do?
That you would love me?-that You would?-You?
Jesus, my God,
the Lord of Heaven and of earth,
You come to me,
and make of me a man of worth.
Blessed, Savior, I pray this prayer,
O my Lord, for this, my care-
May none of me for too long remain,
but all of You within me reign. "

" Something good has come. It's here.
A true assurance. Do not fear.
Do not worry anymore.
The past has passed, so close that door.
Now a joyful time is here.
The smile overtakes the tear.
Don't be concerned anymore.
What lies ahead was not before.
Look out there beyond a thought.
Beyond this earth, and all it's got.
Can you see it? Can you hear it?
Catch yourself up in the Spirit.
Hear beyond the ears you tame.
There's Someone calling out your name.
See beyond the eyes you train.
There's Someone guiding you through pain.
It's Jesus, leading the way.
He's come again to save the day.
Go to Him and do not leave.
Run to His side, my friend, and cleave.
He's our Shepherd, do not stray.
Those off His path don't know the way.
Stay close, so to hear His voice.
Follow Him, obey, and rejoice.
Salvation has come. It's here.
Blessed assurance, do not fear.
Do not worry anymore.
The past has passed, so close that door. "

" You break me down, then build me up.
You pour me out, then fill my cup.
I love You, Jesus. I'll rejoice.
I'll lift my hands. I'll lift my voice.
Refine me, Lord. O clean my heart.
May all uncleanliness depart.
Holiness, I yearn for thee.
Wicked world, depart from me!
Lord, thank You for Your awesome grace.
Soon I'll reach the eternal place.
When the corruptible finally dies,
and the incorruptible will rise.
O Lord, what a time that will be
when I'm with You eternally. "
