Sovereign Lord

Sov’reign Lord

it’s You alone

I seek to know and love

For there is no one else I know

Who cares for me like You.

No mat­ter what I face in life

I’m al­ways mind­ful of the way

You’re al­ways there for me

So ten­der and so true.

Oftentimes I do not un­der­stand

Why things go wrong;

Why peo­ple suf­fer pain and loss

Why sor­row seems their fate.

I

too

have known such deep des­pair

And ago­ny so long

And depths of shame

re­morse

re­gret;

My fail­ures are so great.

Yet there You are

You nev­er leave me

When I’ve gone as­tray;

You’re al­ways rea­dy to for­give

To com­fort and re­store.

Through tears and fears that I will face

I on­ly have to pray

And You will hear and an­swer me;

May I but list­en more.

I can trust Your sov’reign­ty

Whatever comes my way

For true to Your great pro­mises

You’ve always faith­ful been.

Your sov’reign­ty led You to die

To bring me peace that day;

So faith­ful­ly I’ll bear my cross

Each day for You till Heav’n.

Sov’reign Lord

I thank You

For the warmth of Your em­brace

For sav­ing me

re­deem­ing me

And draw­ing near to me.

Help me to love with Your great love

To emu­late Your grace

To oth­ers all around me

So they

too

might be set free.
