YOUR ETERNAL PROMISE
My lips are nourished by Your tender love
That You do bring into my life each day
Where I once did hunger for worldly things
You took that tempting taste away…
Where I once would glory in only myself
Now I do bow down on my knees to pray
Where I once sang praises to my own exploits
Now prostrate by Your feet I do lay
For never have I nourished on such a treasure
Which only Your eternal love does bring
And I find myself at such a lost for words
To best describe what I am no longer lacking
For You took a fallen soul into Your hands
Making me to be so whole again
And fed me a meal from the delights of your table
After You did cleanse me from my many sins
And my eyes are now set on a most welcomed prize
That I promise I will always embrace
For I have placed my trust in your salvation
And Your promised word that will never be erased
