I used to make wishes, as a child,
some were small, others were wild...
and hoped that they'd come true...
I was still wishing when I was a teen,
my mind was full of plans and dreams...
every day it was something new...
Later still, with children of my own,
my wishes were for them, mine had flown...
sometimes that made me blue...
Years passed by, I lived in the dark,
dreams all gone, life lost its spark...
but then, a miracle true..
Jesus had heard my silent plea,
and was right there to rescue me...
giving me a heart brand new...
Along with the heart, Jesus gave me back dreams,
anything was possible with Him, it seems....
and wishes could really come true...
Again Jesus heard my heart's silent call,
and gave to me the best gift of all...
He gave me love all wrapped up in you!
Now each day's full of discoveries I know,
to share them with you just makes my heart glow...
and what joy to shout out how much I LOVE YOU!!
The words "I LOVE YOU" are new each day,
I can show it in actions, and with each word I say...
joy and peace are mine, 'cause I have you!!
