Dear God of love
Send hope from above
You’re the answer to a prayer
For light to smile across this heart
Whispering faith, joy and grace
Please, dear God
Shed your wonder from above
Your kind and gentle favor
Upon the soul who labors
Longing for the answer, the way
To find serenity in the day
When hurt has been the companion
And leaving a heart feeling less than
Even like there is no answer
Please, dear God above
Rain down the sweetness of your love
Open the door to faith that abides
Breathing inspiration on the inside
Where I know you will always reside
A intimate peace that is so very alive
You shine through the spirit
Burning away the darkness and doubt
Filling me up with kindness throughout
Please, dear God, my Father
Send your grace to this place
Of sadness and worry, pain and dread
Fear that mingles with sorrow
Bringing disgrace to the heart
And crushing the spirit with thoughts
That bring destruction and despair
A shadow of the heart in pain
Feelings so humbling they never fade
But silence all the joy that might be
Dear God in heaven,
Please pour out your warmth
Freeing me to love like you do
With a love that is wise and true
A love that is like a prayer of praise
Calming the soul and soothing the faith
Of one who loves beyond their dreams
With a love that You have inspired
A love that You left inside them
There to lift, love and guide them
With hope for the promises you sent
With the scriptures, sweet tenderness
Dear God, my beautiful treasure,
The One I know as life, light and love
The answer to my every hope or doubt
The reason I can say that love is alive
And that I know what it means to shout
With a wonder of joy that comes from knowing
You are here with me, living in my soul
Singing triumphantly of joy forevermore
Joy that comes from the hope of heaven
Where You are waiting for me to enter!
