Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website.The song has three verses, each four lines long. A rough outline is:
1 Oh the love of my Lord is the essence,
... And His giving is ...
Every day, every hour, every moment,
...And his touch ...
3 There’ve been times when I’ve turned from His Presence,
... And His mercy ....
See more ...
