Psalm 34:5, 2 John 4:19, 2 Corinthians 4:7, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
for Saskia, my love — 18 April 1997


I love the way you look at me
  the way your eyes grow wide—
I know the grin that lights your face
  must match the grin on mine
I love to take you in my arms
  and dance that Serenade,
And when I hold you close, I feel
  I've found where I belong.

refrain:
But in your heart I see the Heart of God,
In your eyes, I see reflected
  the Father's perfect love—
And knowing all I treasure of who
  and what you are,
The reason most I love you is that
  in your heart, I see the Heart
  of God.

I love the girl inside of you
  that joins the boy in me
Unlocking secret parables
  from shells along the shore
I love the wondrous view I've found
  from seeing with your eyes—
Adventure just around the bend
  and all around the world

refrain

I love to see the way His Hand
  has molded you—
Your heart an open canvas to His touch—
And now I've seen His love through you
  mold me too;
Making three strands
  out of two.

I love to come before the Lord,
  to join in one accord,
In humble adoration of the One
  who set us free
Though every day new beauties come
  that make me love you more,
My heart's most drawn to yours
  because of who He is in you—

refrain
