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,
Far onward to Eternity.
Because you love me ...
I can wait with perfect patience well possessed;
Your love circled with unquestioned rest;
Yes, even Life and even Death
Is all unquestioned and all blest.
