My Sweet Lord

MY SWEET LORD MY LORD HOLDS ME IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND,
HE HOLDS ME EVER SO GENTLY, SO SWEETLY,
FOR HE IS MY LORD, AND HE DIED FOR ME.
HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR ME.

MY LORD TOUCHES ME WITH HIS HEART,
HE TOUCHES ME WITH HIS WORDS,
HE TOUCHES ME WITH HIS SPIRIT,
FOR HE IS MY SWEET LORD.

MY SWEET LORD, MY JESUS, IS MY LIFE,
HE LIVES THROUGH ME,
FOR I MUST DECREASE, AND HE MUST INCREASE,
SO THAT YOU MAY SEE HIM IN ME.

HIS TOUCH IS SO VERY GENTLE AND LOVELY,
HE TOUCHES ME ALWAYS WITH LOVE,
EVEN WHEN HE IS CORRECTING ME,
HE CORRECTS ME WITH SUCH WONDERFUL LOVE.

HOW MAY I TELL YOU OF HIS LOVE FOR YOU?
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE TO BE LOVED FOR WHO YOU ARE,
HOW WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO BE LOVED?
HE KNOWS, HE SHALL FULFILL YOUR DESIRE OF LOVE.

HE SHALL EVEN SEND TO YOU A PARTNER TO LOVE,
IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A SOUL MATE.
HE WILL SEND WONDERFUL FRIENDS TO YOU,
THEY SHALL BE FILLED WITH SUCH LOVE, NEVER HATE.

MY SWEET LORD DESIRES TO HOLD YOU IN HIS ARMS,
HE DESIRES TO CARRY YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.
HE DESIRES TO SHOW HIS GREAT AND MIGHTY LOVE TO YOU,
TO ALL THAT SHALL TAKE HIS STAND.

MY WONDERFUL LORD DIED FOR ALL,
ALL IN THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE.
HE DIED TO REMOVE THE SIN THAT MADE US SLAVES
TO THE DEVIL AND HIS SATANIC DESIRES.

MY WONDERFUL LORD WENT INTO HELL,
HE PAID THE PRICE THAT I SHOULD PAY.
BUT YOU SEE, HE LOVED US ENOUGH TO SAY,
" I'LL DIE IN THEIR PLACE, FATHER, I'LL PAY THE PRICE."

" I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THAT I WILL DO THIS FOR THEM.
I WANT THEM TO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE DONE THIS,
SO THAT THEY CAN LIVE WITH US, FOREVER IN OUR PRESENCE,
THROUGHOUT ETERNITY, WE'LL LOVE THEM WITH SUCH BLISS."

MY SWEET LORD WAS RESURRECTED FROM HELL, BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
HE STOPPED BY HIS GRAVE, PICKED UP HIS RENEWED BODY,
THEN PRESENTED HIS HOLY, HOLY BLOOD ON THE ALTAR
IN HEAVEN, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FATHER.

THE FATHER LOVINGLY WELCOMED HIS SON INTO HIS PRESENCE,
FOR JESUS HAD LAID DOWN ALL OF HIS HEAVENLY RIGHTS
SO THAT HE COULD BECOME " MAN" , FOR MAN HAD SINNED,
AND IT TOOK A SINLESS " MAN " TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THAT SIN.

MY JESUS DID IT ALL, HE DID IT ALL BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT
LOVE, HIS LOVE FOR THE FATHER, AND FOR US.
HE PAID THE PRICE, ONCE FOR ALL, NEVER AGAIN MUST IT BE
PAID. HE DID IS OUT OF HIS MIGHTY, OVERWHELMING LOVE.
MY SWEET, SWEET, LOVELY, LOVING LORD.
