Faithful Love

Love, lift the veil
And wash away the lies.
Come, search me now
With your soul-piercing eyes.
Drive out the shadows
And metamorphose
All you find.

Faithful Love,
Evermore before me,
Behind me, beside me;
Steadfast Love,
Evermore my soul’s might,
My heart sight, my true light.

Love, sing to me,
As the day begins to dawn.
Love, lead the way
Through this valley of despond.
No, not my will;
Only your will,
Day and night.

Faithful Love,
Evermore before me,
Behind me, beside me;
Steadfast Love,
Evermore my soul’s might,
My heart’s sight, my true light.

I will drink from the cup
You bring to me.
I will trust You
And listen earnestly.
Oh, living water,
Oh, living bread,
You have quenched my thirst,
And daily You have fed
My spirit, faithful Love.

Faithful Love,
Evermore before me,
Behind me, beside me;
Steadfast Love,
Evermore my soul’s might,
My heart’s sight, my true light.
