Connie Hinnen Cook - Because I Love You lyrics

Because I love You I'll apologize Though anger in me burn, I'll tell someone I'm sorry... Though it is not my turn; I'll speak with love and kindness, Though feelings in me churn... I'll set my pride aside Because I love You. Because I love You I'll forgive someone When they have done me wrong, I'll not give in to grudges... I'll keep my spirit strong; And though they turn their back on me, I'll gladly suffer long... I'll set my rights aside Because I love You. Because I love You, Keep my focus staid To always choose Your pace, To put no one above You... To keep You in first place; To set Your hands aside, Lord God, And seek Your Holy Face... Hold me beneath Your wings Because I love You. --Connie "Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings..." (Psalm 17:8 NIV)
