Lover Of My Soul

You are the great Physician
You are the Lover of our souls
You are our Righteousness
Our Banner
Our Provider
You are the great I AM

Let who You are seep into my bones
Let who You are coat the raw edges
Let who You are smooth the rough places
Let who You are be my strong tower

Life takes its toll...
The daily grind...
The trials and tribulations
the angst of relationships
Of our sins as they
Exist side by side with
The sin of others
It is ugly and tiring
And draining
Life throws its punches
And somedays
You simply feel
Like a punching bag

Open my eyes to see
Open my ears to hear
Touch my spirit to know
To know Truth
To know You

You, who came to give us Life
You, who came to set us free
You, who are King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
Who has sat down
At the right hand of the Father
You, who has declared it
Finished
You, who does not want us
To carry the weight
The weight of our sins
The weight of the cross
The weight of the penalty
Not our sins, not others
Sins

You are victorious
We are victorious
Help me to live victoriously
Keep me from living as
A defeated sinner
Without hope
I am endowed with every blessing
In the heavenlies
I am seated now with Christ
I am His beloved
I am an heir with Him
His victory is mine
His resurrection power
Is within me
I am able to do all things
Through Christ...
The Risen One
The Bright Morning Star
The Beginning and the End
The Lover of my soul

The Lover of my soul
It rolls off my lips
It coats the open wounds
It is a healing salve

My eyes will look up
Not out
Not in
My eyes will look to Jesus
The Lover of my soul

Life is good because
God declared it good
Because God is good
I am victorious
I am not defeated
The war has been won
And I am more than a conqueror
Through Him...
The Lover of my soul...
