Just Let Me Say

Just let me say how much I love you
Let me speak of your mercy and grace
Just let me live in the shadow of your beauty
Let me see You face to face
And the earth will shake as Your Word goes forth
And the heavens will tremble and fall
But let me say how much I love You
O my Saviour, my Lord and Friend


What a joy it is when we first come to know and accept Christ! The wonder of His love and grace, His sheer beauty that we see in the Spirit. Our hearts shake as His Word enters forth, and the walls of pride and deception come tumbling down. O the joy of knowing and loving you Lord!

Just let me hear Your finest whispers
As You gently call my name
Let me see Your power and Your glory
Let me feel the Spirit's flame
Let me find you in the desert
Till this sand is holy ground
And I am found completely surrendered
To You, my Lord and Friend


Once we have accepted Him into our hearts, God begins to open the doors of heaven into our lives. We hear Him speak to us; we see His power working so mightily in our lives, we feel His glory in our hearts. Perhaps one day you will reach, or have reached the point, where like Moses, you meet Him in the desert of your life. A life that has grown somehow barren in the light of His wonderful love, and is waiting for new life. God will reveal Himself to you in a burning bush; He will declare the ground you stand on as holy. It may not be a grand event, it may be as quiet as in a prayer or the silence of the morning. And like Moses, He will call you to follow and give all to Him. Like Moses, you and I may hesitate, fearful and unsure. And He will say to us, "Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." (Gen 4:12). He will say to us, Go, for "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Matt. 28:20.

Just let me say how much I love You
With all my heart I long for You
For I am caught in the passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in You
And the depth of grace, the forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say how much I love You
O my Saviour, my Lord and Friend


Once we have taken that step, or those steps, of faith, to dedicate our lives to Him, we will wonder why we ever hesitated to take them in the first place. For more and more of His love and grace will continually pour into our lives, and the more we have tasted of it, the more we are caught in the passion of serving and following Him. And at the end of the day it's not what He gives us in our lives, or what we can do or accomplish for Him, but simply being His child through Jesus, that will make us say to Him with all our hearts, "I love you".
