A New Song Today - Precious Child (Tentative title)

Precious Child
(Tentative Title)

Lead me to the cross
Where your love has changed me
When you wrote the story of salvation
And signed it with your blood

I lift my eyes to the hills
To see the maker of heaven and earth
Wounded, nailed,
Because of me,
Because of me

Who am I that you are mindful of me
When winds blow and waves soar
You still search in the deepest sea
You pick me up from the depths
Cleanse me from the dirt
And call me a precious child of Yours

Sometimes my thoughts fly adrift
And my heart swings low
Yet your love and faithfulness
Stand the same no matter where I go

You welcome with an embrace
Like a Father who has found
what once was lost
I’m amazed,
I’m amazed

Who am I that you are mindful of me
When winds blow and waves soar
You still search in the deepest sea
You pick me up from the depths
Cleanse me from the dirt
And call me a precious child of Yours

My heart longs to go forth
And sing a new song
As I hold the banner high
And proclaim Jesus’ love
To the ends of the earth

Who am I that you are mindful of me
When winds blow and waves soar
You still search in the deepest sea
You pick me up from the depths
Cleanse me from the dirt
And call me a precious child of Yours

Who am I, who am I
Yes, I am Your precious child

Ever since a friend of mine gave me the CD of Sarah O, a Singaporean churchmate of hers, who has transformed several verses into a song, I couldn't help but tell my friends to go write and put a tune to it. Coupled with the fact that the line "Sing a new song" is repeated several times in Psalms.

I praise God that His presence overwhelmed me this morning. I felt His embrace. His love. And as I reflected on His steadfast love, here are words He blessed me with. (feel free to make a tune out of it).
