Because You Love Me
|
| Because you love me, I have found |
|
| New joys that were not mine before; |
|
| New stars have lightened up my sky |
|
| With glories growing more and more. |
|
| Because you love me I can rise |
|
| To the height of fame and realms of power; |
|
| Because you love me I may learn |
|
| The highest use of every hour. |
|
| Because you love me I can choose |
|
| To look through your dear eyes and see |
|
| Beyond the beauty of the Now |
|
| Because you love me I can wait |
|
| With perfect patience well possessed; |
|
| Because you love me all my life |
|
| Is circled with unquestioned rest; |
|
| Yes, even Life and even Death |
|
| Is all unquestioned and all blest. |
|
| Dedicated to my husband, Richard |
