For All The Years Poem by Kathryn King

I love you Lord
I really love you Lord
I thank You for Your tender care
I praise You Lord
I really praise You Lord
For all the years You've given me
For all the tears You've wiped away
For all the fears I've overcome in You.

When I was just a girl
I didn't know joy then
I knew about a Savior
Who had died for me

When I grew some more
I fell down on my knees
And took You as my Lord
My heart set free

Lord I know this one thing
You put into my heart
I want to tell the world
You love them too.

How can I help them see
How much You mean to me?
How You have guided me
and kept me free.

It doesn't matter now
how much the world hates me.
It hated You more
than we could know.

You brought the light of God
and showed us the Father.
You put into our hearts
a fire that will not die.
