Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence
Of all that I love here on earth,
All the beauty I see He has given to me
And his giving is gentle as silence.

Ev'ry day, ev'ry hour, ev'ry moment
Has been blessed by the strength of His love
At the turn of each tide, He is there at my side.
And His touch is as gentle as silence.

There've been times when l've turned from his presence
And I've walked other paths, other ways
But I've called on His name in the dark of my shame
And His mercy was gentle as Silence.
