I AM YOURS
 

I AM YOURS, LORD

I AM YOUR EYES

I AM YOUR EARS, LORD

I HEAR THEIR CRIES.

I AM YOUR LIPS, LORD

I SPEAK YOUR WORD

I TEACH YOUR WAYS, LORD

UNTIL ALL MEN HAVE HEARD.

I AM YOUR HEART, LORD

I LOVE WITH YOUR LOVE

I AM YOUR DIRECTOR, LORD

TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE.

I AM YOUR TEACHER, LORD

I TEACH WHAT I'VE LEARNED

I AM YOUR FIRE, LORD

THAT BURNS AND IS NOT BURNED.

I AM YOUR PREACHER, LORD

I PREACH TILL I DIE

I AM YOUR SERVANT, LORD

AND I DO NOT NOT ASK WHY.

I AM YOUR LOVER, LORD

I LIVE FOR YOUR TOUCH

I AM YOUR BRIDE, LORD

AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I AM YOUR CHILD, LORD

I NEED YOUR STRONG HAND

TO GUIDE, AND TO GUARD ME, LORD

FROM BOTH DEVIL AND MAN.

I AM YOUR VOICE, LORD

IN THE WILDERNESS, I CRY

TO THE LOST AND FORSAKEN, LORD

THAT THE WORLD HAS PASSED BY.

I AM YOUR DAUGHTER, LORD

I AM YOUR FRIEND

I AM YOUR VESSEL, LORD

AND WILL BE TILL THE END.

BUT THERE IS NO END, LORD

TO THIS LOVE THAT I BEAR

AND THERE IS NO END, LORD

TO THIS UNENDING STAIR.

THAT LEADS ME TO HEAVEN

AND INTO YOUR ARMS

TO BE ENFOLDED IN YOUR LOVE

FROM ALL EARTHLY HARMS.

AND I KNOW I WILL COME, LORD

TO THAT CHAMBER WITH YOU

AND BE LOVED WITH THE ONLY LOVE

THAT IS HOLY AND TRUE.

BUT TILL THAT DAY HAS COME

AND THIS TIME HAS PASSED

I WAIT FOR YOUR CALL

AND I LISTEN FOR YOUR LAUGH.

AND I TELL THE PEOPLE

THAT YOU WAIT FOR THEM TOO

AND I SHOW THEM YOUR MERCY

AND I SHOW THEM YOU.

FOR I AM YOUR PROPHET, YOUR POET, YOUR SIGN

TO THE WORLD AND I LOVE THEM

WITH YOUR HEART AND MINE.

I AM YOUR LOVE, LORD

I AM YOUR HEART

AND I GIVE YOU MY OLD LIFE, LORD

SO MY NEW LIFE CAN START.

AND IT STARTS TODAY, LORD

AT THE TOP OF THIS STAIR

FOR I'M CLIMBING TO HEAVEN, LORD

AND I SEE YOU STANDING THERE.
