Lyrics:
My song will be for you forever.
You, the music in my heart.
For your love is all around me,
and your goodness always here.
You have clothed me in your promise,
You, my love, my light, my friend.
You, the way and path before me.
You will lead and guide me home.
Refrain: My song will be for you forever,
you the music in my heart.
I am here to be your servant;
you anoint me with your love.
You will hold me in my longing,
all my hope in your embrace. Refrain
With your voice you sing within me.
You, the one who knows me well.
You, my joy, my life, and blessing.
When you call you know my name. Refrain
I will pledge my love forever.
I will call your name out loud.
I will reach my hand out to you,
and I know you'll reach for me. Refrain
