My little brother will be leaving my family this week-end
for his big trip to Steubenville, Ohio, (also known as
Steubie for short). He is lucky to be able to go to one
of their huge youth conferences. I would have been glad
to chaperone this event, but since I took so much time
off last week from work, I just could not afford too, and
I am a little bummed about it. Anyway, so the one and only
time I was blessed to be able to attend this AMAZING event,
I heard this song for the first time ever, and I fell in
love with it. Bob Rice, the man who wrote this song along
with countless others, sang it during the time of adoration,
and I remember I started to tear up a little bit while
listening to the lyrics. I put them below, and maybe they
will touch you as they did me...Are you Amazed?
Are you amazed I love to look upon your face
So resplendent with amazing grace
Though at times you'll try to hide it in disgrace
I will always love you
Cause in your eyes I see a soul that longs to dance
I'm captivated by a single glance
And when you look my way I dont stand a chance
I will always love you
Like a mother to her child
Like a husband to his bride
I wanna...hold you in my arms
Like a father to his son
I wanna teach you when I'm done
I wanna...keep you safe from harm
Like an eagle with its wings
Teach you to soar, teach you to sing
So we can...sail out to the dawn
You've got such beauty inside
I cannot help but wonder why
Are you amazed I love to look upon your face
So resplendent with amazing grace
Though at times you'll try to hide it in disgrace
I will always love you
Cause in your eyes I see a soul that longs to dance
I'm captivated by a single glance
And when you look my way I don't stand a chance
I will always love you
Like a mother to her child
Like a husband to his bride
I wanna...hold you in my arms
Like a father to his son
I wanna teach you when I'm done
I wanna...keep you safe from harm
Like an eagle with its wings
Teach you to soar teach you to sing
So we can...sail out to the dawn
You've got such beauty inside
I cannot help but wonder why
Are you amazed I love to look upon your face
So resplendent with amazing grace
Though at times you'll try to hide it in disgrace
I will always love you
(instrumental)
I will always love you
(Instrumental)
I wanna sleep with you at night
You know I'm strong enough to fight
All the monsters beneath your bed
Be a shelter in the storm
A place to go when you're forlorn
Where you can rest your weary head
I wanna give to you my heart
And still you fear I will depart
Have you not heard a word I've said?
Because I do not change my mind
I know sometimes its hard to try
Cause in your eyes I see a soul that longs to dance
I'm captivated by a single glance
You know you're not taking that much of a chance
I have always loved you
Are you amazed I love to look upon your face
So resplendent with amazing grace
Though at times you'll try to hide it in disgrace
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
