Who showed me so much love
And grace by placing this smile upon my face
it?s so hard to express the way I feel
About a man I know can heal
You life
By dying on the cross
For sinners who were lost
Lord I love you so much
That I?m yearning for your touch
This is to my friend above
Who showed me so much love
And grace by placing this smile upon my face
it?s so hard to express the way I feel
About a man I know can heal
You life
By dying on the cross
For sinners who were lost
While I?m here today
There?s just one thing
That I want to say
Take hold of me
And protect me
From the things I can not see
Let your loving arms surround me
From here to eternity
Lord, I need your
Anointing
So my spirit can be free
Lord I need you more, and more, and more, and more
I need you more, and more
