Sweet love reaches out,
To hold, soothe and caress,
Giving peace in times of trouble,
Christ's love withstands the test.

Oh Lord without You I am nothing,
Just a piece of unfinished clay,
I long to be nearer to You Jesus,
Please guide each step I take today.

Your love completely encompasses,
Enveloping this earthly life I lead,
Help me my precious Lord Jesus,
Be an example of You I thus plead.

It makes no difference the person,
All mortals belong to You, my King,
Forgiving sins and cleansing hearts,
To souls doth everlasting joy bring.

Lord touch me; I beseech You,
Wipe away all that is not of You,
Replace in my heart knowledge,
How to show others Your love too.

Mold me Oh, my loving Master,
To be what You want me to be,
I will strive to do Your bidding,
Let my life show a trail to Thee.

I love You with all my heart Jesus,
Thank You for the time You so lovingly spend,
Shaping me to live in the Your shadow,
Directing my steps along life’s path as I wend.
