Only Love

I saw Your face again today
Reflected in the world around me
I held Your eyes with my own gaze
And how they burned with love
Desire that can be quenched by none but me

I felt You looking down at me
Your smile it shined the brightness of Your heart
Your pleasure in me how it shames me
Who am I that You should love someone like me

How I love You
How I love You
How I love You
You are my only love
O, You are my only love

I see dark but You see lovely
I see ashes You see beauty within me
You give me gladness for my mourning
You are my only love
You are my only love

How I love You
How I love You
How I love You
You are my only love
O, You are my only love

Where can I flee from Your presence
Where can I run from You
For You are there beside me
No matter how far I may run to

Even in my weakness yet You have loved me
Even in my struggle still You are there beside me
What a wonder this is that You could love someone like me
What a wonder that You would stay there beside me
No matter, whatever I did
O, you are with me, Jesus

If I take the wings of the morning
And I dwell in the outermost parts of the sea
Behold You are there
You are there beside me
O, You are there
You are there
You are there beside me

And if I ascend into heaven
Or if I make my bed in hell
Behold you are with me
No matter how far
No matter how far
No matter how far I may run to
O, you are there beside me
O, You are there beside me
I can never run away
I can never run away from Your love

There is no other beside You Jesus
O, there is no other beside You Jesus
O, there is no other beside You Jesus
