Ever felt the love of a mother,
on a cool night as she tucks you under the covers?
Warm feelings of love from a friend,
hoping that such comfort would never end.
Fiery love from a lover touch,
through difficulties we usually rely on others as our crutch.
Listen that you may know,
the love God's given me as a river flows.
Destroyed was my hope, dreams and desire,
for I had fallen in sins net of deaths fire.
To the end of myself at the end of my rope,
no longer could I stand it, no longer could I cope.
Wretched feelings of failure and remorse,
wondering why and how I allowed my life to go off course.
In the darkness of my despair and grief,
remembrance of hope in my God of belief.
Turning to Jesus in a desperate moment,
I recalled the price he paid, his blood, the cross, sins atonement.
Seeking Him daily through thought and prayer,
suddenly I realized the love that is there.
Through Christ, God's son, I've found hope and peace,
and my pain and sorrow, He's made to cease.
Feelings of his endless love fill my heart,
and by his grace, I've begun my new start.
Comfort falls on me whenever I become down,
He makes me smile after a frown.
He wraps his powerful arms around me,
while his love and mercy he allows me to see.
As I smile because of the warmth I feel,
I know now of hope and victory through him is so real!
Every minute he tells me, he loves me so much,
because glorious feelings of love fall upon me with his touch!
Beautiful, wonderful, awesome love of relief,
snatching away heartache like gold with a thief.
Precious is my Lord, my cherished master,
pulling me from the tar of sins disaster.
Joy fills my heart, peace fills my mind,
these precious things only a believer can find.
Riches and men can never give you this blessing,
it all starts when you realize your sins need confessing.
Praise to Jesus for the love that's filled me,
even though I'm in prison, inside I'm free.
Experiencing inward redemption from my past,
and happy thoughts of my Jesus, to whom I hold fast.
Thriving to serve him and do his will,
every empty spot in my life, he knows how to fill.
Born again from the death of my lost hope and dreams,
and the filth of my past, the cross surely cleans.
Priceless is this new love I have found,
assuring me of his presence around me, secure and sound.
So if your ready to break the worthless crutch,
turn your eyes to Jesus and he will smother you with the love
of His Touch!
