IT IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME

IF I HAVE ANY GOODNESS LEFT IN ME AT ALL

IT IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.

IF I CAN RISE FROM BENEATH A MOUNTAIN OF DESPAIR

WITH HOPE ON MY SHOULDERS,

IT IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.

IF I CAN FIND BEAUTY IN THE SMALLEST OF FLOWERS,

OR SEE AN ANGEL SMILING ON SOME CHILD'S FACE

IT IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME.

IF THROUGH ALL MY FAILURES AND SHATTERED DREAMS,

I CAN STILL BELIEVE IN MYSELF,

IT IS BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME, LORD.
