When words just fail
No one has ever loved me like You do,
or gave their life that I might have life too.
For You bore my sins, and You paid the price
wiping out my debts with Your loving sacrifice.
Sometimes words are not enough and they fail
to express the deep feelings that prevail.
So my soul in the quietness and solitude
welled up in deep love and gratitude.
A thousand thanksgivings could never express,
the depth of my love and my thankfulness.
So I knelt before Your cross and I sighed
I could not find the words so I just cried.
