as beauty to the eyes,
as strength that follows weakness,
as truth instead of lies,
as song-time and spring-time
and summer-time to be,
so is my Lord, my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
2 Like calm in place of clamour,
like peace that follows pain,
like meeting after parting,
like sunshine after rain,
like moonlight and starlight
and sunlight on the sea,
so is my Lord, my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me.
3 As sleep that follows fever,
as gold instead of grey,
as freedom after bondage,
as sunrise to the day,
as home to the traveller
and all we long to see,
so is my Lord, my living Lord,
so is my Lord to me. Topics: Freedom / Liberation; One Life in Christ Faith; Strength; Truth; Water Used With Tune: OASIS
