The Question (Words and Music: Joseph M. Martin)

Lord, when I consider the wonders of the night
The music of the stars, your dazzling dance of light;
Lord, when I consider the wonders of your hand,
The birds that soar on high, the oceans vast and wide;
When I survey the miracle of life, I declare your majesty,
And in my heart I cry: Lord, who am I?

You are my treasure, my precious one.
You are the reason I sent my only Son.
You are my chosen, my new creation,
My own beloved, the apple of my eye.
You are my temple, my dwelling place.
You are a vessel for my amazing grace.
You are my silver, my priceless pearl.
O how I love you. O how I love you.
I am your Shepherd. You are my lamb.

Your name is written in the palm of my hand.
And I have you as a seal upon my arm.
Nothing can separate you from my perfect love.
Nothing can take you from my heart.

You are my treasure, my precious one.
You are the reason I sent my only Son.
You are my chosen, my new creation,
My own beloved, the apple of my eye.

You are my temple, my dwelling place.
You are a vessel for my amazing grace.
You are my candle, light of the world.
You are my silver, My priceless pearl.

O how I love you. O how I love you.
I am your shepherd. O how I love you.
O how I love you. I am your shepherd.
You are my lamb. You are my lamb.
I am your lamb
