LORD I WOULD LOVE THEE.

Lord, I would love Thee,
Love and obey,
Lord, I would serve Thee
Day after day.

Lord, I would praise Thee
With heart and voice,
And in thy presence
Would I rejoice.

Lord, I extol Thee
Thou mighty one,
For thy great mercies,
And for thy son.

Lord, draw me nearer,
Nearer to Thee,
Make my way clearer,
That I may see.
