How you love me

"Have mercy on me, O God,
    according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
     blot out my transgressions. 
 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
    and cleanse me from my sin!
...
 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit in me."
- Psalms 51:1-2, 10 ESV

     I've been thinking guys, you know, about how much God loves me.  I desperately wish that I could praise and honor You God in a manner worthy of Your glory.  But, I can't.  All I can do is give You all that I am.  Take it all God; let me hold nothing back from You.  These words are not nearly enough. Thank You, for it all, I'm so glad to be Your son. (Oh Joy unspeakable!)

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

God is my shepherd
I won't be wanting
I won't be wanting
He makes me rest
In fields of green
With quite streams
Even though I walk
Through the valley
Of death and dying
I will not fear
'Cause you are with me
You are with me

Your shepherd staff
Comforts me
You are my feast
In the presence of enemy
Surely goodness
Follow me
Follow me
In the house of God, forever

God is my shepherd
I won't be wanting
I won't be wanting
He makes me rest
In fields of green
Like quiet streams
Even while I'm walking
Through the valley
Of death and dying
I will not fear
'Cause you are with me
You're always with me

Your shepherd staff
Comforts me
You are my feast
In the presence of enemy
Surely goodness
Follow me
Follow me
In the house of God, forever
In the house of God, forever
In the house of God, forever

I need words
As wide as sky
And I need a language large as
This longing inside
And I need a voice
Bigger than mine
And I need a song to sing You
that I've yet to find
I need You
Oh I need You
I need You
Oh I need You
To be here now
To hear me now
