A Celtic love song to Jesus
Buddy wrote these lyrics for a different melody that I had composed two years ago...that never developed...I felt this tune fit the lyrics better and so in its time (hopefully God's timing) the words have found a home where they can accomplish that which they are to do.
The love of my life, the essence
Of the One that's dear to me
Of all the things I cherish
There's not one compares to Thee
A heart so freely given
Born out of love for me
With mercy and compassion
O, You set my spirit free
The Love of my life, the beauty
Of all that I can see
As You walk so close beside me
Now I'm where I want to be
No greater love was given
Than the love You gave to me
While out of Your love for sinners
There You died on Calvary
The love of my life...the love of my life....my Jesus
There's not a one compared to Thee
The love of my life...the love of my life....my Jesus
There's not a one compares to Thee
The love of my life, the essence
Of the One that's dear to me
Of all the things I cherish
There's not one compares to Thee
A heart so freely given
Born out of love for me
With mercy and compassion
O, You set my spirit free
With mercy and compassion
Lord, You set my spirit free
Yes out of Your love for sinners
Lord, You've set my spirit free
