You've kept watch over me since I was a child You've stayed close when my heart has gone running wild You've welcomed me back again and again You've offered your kindness, forgiven my sin You're the source of all the good gifts I know No one else can equal the love you show Though my praise for you often comes so slow How I long for my life with you to grow In your actions you show the proof of your care In your presence comes comfort, you're ev'rywhere In your mercy I find hope that will last In your second life I am saved from my past.
