279 Created by You, Belonging to You
Verse 1
Through many ups and downs, changes without number,
windblown and drenched by rains, I follow on Your heels.
Danger and hardship is true love’s and passion’s forge.
My smitten heart adores You with undying love.
Verse 2
How many times has winter turned to spring?
Bitter then sweet, each savored one by one.
Autumn’s winds spent, I welcome springtime flowers.
Oh, the vagaries of a soldier’s life, I know Your heart.
Bridge
You suffered when humbly You entered this world.
Battered by wind and rains, no one pitied You.
Spurned by the multitudes, too painful for words.
Yet Your heart’s desire could be seen in Your words.
Chorus
Your words of life water my heart
down to its depths, down to its depths.
My heart, turning to good, adores You.
When will my heart be one with Yours?
I’m created by You, and I belong to You.
To break faith would be an eternal sin.
I’ll wipe away the tears shed by Your wounded heart.
To grant Your wish, I give my heart to You.
Verse 3
When You are gone, it’s hard to know when You’ll return.
A parting sharp as death, I weep such painful tears.
I linger, loathe to leave, my heart seems all in shreds.
My eyes strain eagerly, I long for Your return.
Verse 4
Desolate spirit that I cannot hide.
On bended knee I feel remorse pierce my soul.
Friend close as a neighbor, though seas apart.
Paltry offering I lay before You.
When we meet, You smile on me.
Chorus
Your words of life water my heart
down to its depths, down to its depths.
My heart, turning to good, adores You.
When will my heart be one with Yours?
I’m created by You, and I belong to You.
To break faith would be an eternal sin.
I’ll wipe away the tears shed by Your wounded heart.
To grant Your wish, I give my heart to You.
