Sitting here reminiscing, when I first fell in love
Remembering Your gentle touch, feeling like a dove
hearing Your voice, calling me to be Your love.
I remember back to when I first held Your hand,
Promising to cherish You, in this foreign land.
I know I will always be the apple of Your eye.
as a result of Your steadfast love that will never die.
When dark nights come, when I’m feeling lost and scared,
when all of my courage has quickly disappeared,
It’s then I hear Your soothing voice
gently reminding me
That I have nothing to fear
Because I belong to You and You are always here.
There was a time, when You proved Your love for me
and showed me, once and for all,
You will never, ever leave me.
With powerful action for my sins, You died upon a tree.
It was on the cross
where You displayed Your love for all to see.
When I heard the news You had died, I admit I cried,
but tears of sadness quickly turned into tears of joy
When You arose and I found You standing by my side.
You said You had to go, to prepare a place for me,
a home filled with perfect love, joy and tranquility
Where we will reside together, for eternity.
My love, there are still times when I feel very discouraged
When I grow suddenly afraid and need to be encouraged.
Even so, I am still quick to rejoice
because before leaving to depart
You left a promise that I took to heart.
You will return and there with Your voice
In the clouds You will be
calling me to join You, indefinitely.
By,
Jeff Dalton
