THIS WONDERFUL WORLD I HAVE FOUND IN YOU
SHOWING ME THINGS THAT I SHOULD DO
NOT JUST THE THINGS THAT I SEE
BUT THE MARVELOUS LIGHT I RECEIVE FROM THEE
MAKING MY WAY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
IN YOUR ARMS I'VE FOUND MUCH GRACE
BRINGING ME OUT OF THE MUCK AND MIRE
YOUR HOLY SPIRIT IS WHAT I DESIRE
I DON'T KNOW WHERE I HAVE PUT MY PAST
ALL I KNOW IS THAT THE FUTURE COMES FAST
ALL THE PATHS THAT I COULD TAKE
YOUR HOLY LOVE MAKES MY EARTH SHAKE
FOUR HOURS ALONE WITH MYSELF
THE CARES OF THE WORLD PUT ON THE SHELF
MY MIND RACES TO FIND THE FACTS
WORLDLY KNOWLEDGE SLIPS THROUGH THE CRACKS
REVEALING A SOUL THAT'S FRESH AND NEW
BUILT ON BEAUTIFUL LOVE FOR YOU
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS NEW FOUND PEACE
UNENDING LOVE THAT WILL NOT CEASE
ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN EVIL BOUND
NOT LOOKING OR SEARCHING FOR WHAT I HAVE FOUND
NOT STRIVING TOWARDS A HEART THAT IS PURE
A PLACE TO GO I KNOW IS SECURE
AS YOUR LOVE HAS SOFTENED MY HEART
IT HAS GIVEN ME A PLACE TO START
A PLACE TO LAY MY BURDEN DOWN
WITHOUT A WORRY WITHOUT A FROWN
A TOWER TALL, A TOWER STRONG
BUILT ON TRUST AND SUFFERING LONG
WHERE I AM NOT LOOKING FOR THE BAD
BUT MORE TO SEE THE BLESSINGS I'VE HAD
A CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE IF YOU WILL
WITHOUT A PIPE, A DRINK ,OR A PILL
A PURPOSE PURE AND ARRANGED
A FATHER WHOSE LOVE HAS NEVER CHANGED
A GLORIOUS GOD WHO MAKES THINGS NEW
WHO OFFERS THE SAME FOR ME AND FOR YOU
HIS BLOOD FROM THE CROSS POURS OUT OVER US
WITH HONOR, GLORY, WITH LOVE AND TRUST
JESUS CHRIST WITH OUT-STRETCHED HANDS
I FALL TO MY KNEES AND FOLLOW HIS COMMANDS
WOW Ken! I am assuming you wrote this. I didn't know you wrote. Did you know you could write? It's amazing how He can use us when we let Him. This is great. Praise God! I hope that God will continue to use you in this way.
