Lord, I Really Do Love You
An early attempt to put feelings into words.
. receive all glory, honor, and praise!
Story behind the song
Nothing really poetic about the lyrics. It's just a prayer expressing my love for God.
Lyrics
"LORD, I REALLY DO LOVE YOU" by Jeff Leslie 1978
This is not the first time I've tried to put my feelings into words
Nor the first time I've attempted
To share with you the love that's in my heart
The expression is long overdue,
This affection, You more than deserve
Yet still I find it hard. The words I want aren't there
I don't really know where to start
Just as it were yesterday, I remember when You saved my soul
The joy I knew would never end
Security You gave. I closely held
The love I' ll have till the end of time
All those empty years You've made whole
Lord, in all You've done for me in spite of what I've been
There's something I just have to try to tell You
(CHORUS)
Lord, I really do love You
Though I've said it all before, I must repeat it more
When I say, Lord, I really do love you
I'm trying to reveal everything I feel
But it's more than human words could begin to explain
I'm glad You understand it, Lord, I try to make it plain somehow
But all that I can do is say it o'er and o'er again
I really love You
It is such a comfort to know that you will always be around
I need your love to guide me
The strength You give is constant help to me
You're the very ground on which I stand
You gently catch me when I fall
Help me to express my love to everyone I see
I want to show. Give me the words I need to tell them
(RPT. CHORUS)
