Faith in You Who Eternally Loves Me

I closed my eyes and wondered if you're really there,
I closed my eyes and pray some more hoping I'll find the answer.
I closed my eyes and realized that it doesn't matter,
Because blessed are those who do not see but still believe.

How did I ever come to know you my God?
How did I ever come to care about the things I used to deny?
My eyes don't see you but I can feel you right here,
Right here in my heart so loud and so clear.

And soon everyone will see how powerful and mighty you are,
You seemed so distant but too me you're never too far.
You loved those who love you and you promised salvation,
I know that I belong to you because I'm your wonderful creation.

I live for you and always will be,
I have faith in you even if my eyes don't see.
Your awesome love covers me like a warm blanket,
You are like a sweet magnificent perfume that I'll never forget.

So come, take me away to your promised land,
Heal the hurt, make everything new, my life is in the palm of your hand.
I'll wait for you and I'll always believe no matter what people say,
I'll always be grateful to you and I'll wait for that special day.
