I have glared at gleeful ’xcitement
Till it grew so dull
I have lingered long on love
Till I just let go
I have doted on this dear life
Till I preferred death instead
I have had them all
Like I had none
I have laughed an’ laughed
Without a single thrill
Been thrilled to chills
Without a happiness
Often happy I was
Without the bliss of joy
And I have had them all
But still lacked one
What could be happier than joy?
What could be lovelier than love?
What on earth could be more precious than life?
Then I dug up answers from dawn to dusk
Found debris where I hoped for diamonds
I groped for hope in the dust and the dark
But I found none till I met Him
Maybe when I first met You
Maybe I didn’t really grasp or get
What life I found
Maybe when Your love walked to me
Maybe I could have rejected You
Like many had
Maybe since I have found You
Maybe I could have exchanged You
For a billion dollars!
But I have found something
Something beyond all price
I have found something
Something beyond all!
What could be happier than joy?
What could be lovelier than love?
What on earth could be more precious than life?
O Jesus, You are far priceless than all!
O, what is man to be given the finest Gift?
What are we to earn the costliest Love?
Who are we, Jesus, to deserve Your Whole Self?
What is this me to have You, Lord?!
It was You
The feathers I flapped in ecstasy
My wings of pride and joy
The shed of crimson love
The voice of whispering breath
It was You
The voice in my noise
The secret secreting my strength
The radiance behind my smile
The strength within my health
Radiance of vivacity
Beam of sanity
Colour of beauty
Water of purity
Eternal mercy
Voice of life
The womb of comfort
The tomb of resurrection
The beat in every heart
The vein beneath my skin
It was You
It is You
The whisper of graciousness
The wisdom of ages
The stride of greatness
The path of life
The foundation of nations
You are Jesus Christ
And Your name is mystery
Your breath is power
Your path is wonder
You are Jesus Christ
And Your presence is light
Your voice is glory
Your heart is love
You are the poetry we love to pen
The song we want to sing
The hymn we love to chant
The story we want to tell
You are the portrait we wish to paint
The breath we wish to take
The One we want to love
The love we want to keep
You are the future I wish to see
The present I can’t let go of
You are the morrow I like to know
The life I want to live
You are my love
You are my First Love!
And I promise, sweet Jesus
That You are far priceless…
Than them all!
