You opened my heart so it can sing Along with all the angels you bring Blessings you give to me from above Attest to me of your undying love You love me much more than I deserve And have mercy on me without reserve And though I exist in a fallen state You have opened for me heaven's gates You welcome me home as a wayward son Rejoicing with me oh Holy One You remove every obstacle from my path And smite the Enemy with great wrath Protecting me from he who does lie And wishes for me only to die Surely for me salvation has come I'll someday be with you in your kingdom Seeing the beauty of your face And knowing the truth of every place What words can I use to give thanks to you For there seem to be none that will do All I can offer is my beating heart My mind and my soul and for my part Return to you in some small way All the love to me you relay You ask for so little and give me so much You accept what I can give and take it as such There is no price that would fairly pay For all that you give to me every day You are my shelter, my rock and refuge With you I feel safe away from the deluge Your presence to me is as a peaceful dawn To the tranquility of you I am eagerly drawn You give to my soul a place to rest Away from all the things that do test Far from a world beset with sin I scarce can wait to return again
