O the Love of my Lord is the Essence

1. O the love of my Lord is the essence, of all that I love here on earth. All the beauty I see he has given to me and his giving is gentle as silence Every day every hour every moment, has been blessed by the strength of his love.

2. There’ve been times when I’ve turned from his presence, and I’ve walked other paths,other ways but I’ve called on his name in the dark of my shame and his mercy was gentle as silence
