The greatest power

I have on my side the greatest power
Amazing God Who knows just who I am
Loves me more than I can love another
For His heart’s as big as life itself
 
Oh, Majesty! come here and hear my pleading
For the lost and lonely of our world
Empty places make them search in darkness
Shine Your light so they can see You now
 
I have on my side the greatest power
Against You, nothing can stand
For You reign supreme in glorious wonder
Joyous expectation lifts me high
 
A fire’s burning madly in my spirit
For You drive me forward to the Light
Save the wandering souls who search for meaning
Eyes so blinded by a world that takes them down
 
Into depths of fear and pain it leaves them
Struggling to breathe the air of Hope and Truth
Tied and bound and chained to lies and danger
Free them, drench them, save them in your love
 
I have on my side the greatest power
Mercy, love and peace you offer me
How can I begin to really know
All that you have truly done for me?
 
Mighty God Whose Son has come to save us
Touch the hearts of all who go astray
Bring them back into Your arms of Mercy
Forgive us all and bless us all, we pray
 
So let Your Spirit move within us
Making us a new creation, now
How we need your healing Grace in place
Save us from despair and from our selves
 
Thank You! Thank You! Thank you! Oh, Beautiful Saviour
For You promise us the end of strife
Free from pain and tears for ever more -
No more death and darkness… only life. Amen.
