Hey God

So come and write Your Name on my heart
I hear the dance steps of the Great King
Tenderizing this heart over and again
Speaking love and hope and life

You write Your love upon my heart
How I delight when I am doing Your will
All of my life, all of my time
The world would scoff and say this is not for today
They mock and say, this is not wisdom

But Oh

How they have yet to experience such peace and joy
Grace is poured out on my life like a waterfall
Buffeting, bearing down with the weight of love

Oh the melodies of Heaven capture me again
How can music be this good, this uplifting?
How can life be this full?
Hope rises
Love overtakes
Faith abounds

And so I set my hand to the plow again
In the morning, I arise and keep my pace
I plod, I keep going, I work, and there is grace for each day
His mercies are new every morning
Oh He loves us to the end

The earlier we give ourselves to this
Oh how much better it is
To give this God everything
Just to be found faithful
And so, in this way, I will live my love for this King
In the large and in the small
In the flashy and in the mundane
Whether before the crowd, or in the secret place
Just loving and being loved by this One
Hey God
