Evermore

Did I grow up,
Or did I merely grow older?
Did I shun love,
And in the process grow colder?
Oh, marvelous Light...
Oh, heavenly, glorious Grace...
Hold me through the night,
As you lift me from this mournful place.

Take this wandering heart;
Lead the way,
And I'll follow you 
To your starlit, peaceful shore.
Fill my mind; fill every part,
Lest I stray.
Oh, I long to do
Your will, and love you evermore.

Nothing to hide;
Nothing at all, as I draw near.
I've brought my pride;
I'll lay it down, and I'll wait here.
Oh, marvelous Light
Oh, vision of infinite Love
Be my soul's true sight,
The One my heart's been dreaming of.

Take this wandering heart;
Lead the way,
And I'll follow you 
To your starlit, peaceful shore.
Fill my mind; fill every part,
Lest I stray.
Oh, I long to do
Your will, and love you evermore.

[instrumental interlude]

Sometimes you're clothed in sweet sunlight;
Sometimes you dance in the rain;
Sometimes you're a gust of joy I can'explain.
Sometimes I run, sometimes I fight;
Sometimes I act like a fool.
Sometimes I feel your power, and I know you'll...

Take this wandering heart;
Lead the way,
And I'll follow you 
To your starlit, peaceful shore.
Fill my mind; fill every part,
Lest I stray.
Oh, I long to do
Your will, and love you evermore.
