YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND
You're my greatest Lover Who rules my heart and mind
Defining my being with life You have designed.
Guarding me verily with Your constant presence
You are my Saviour Who shields me with Your defense.
As You strengthen my faith that depends on Your might
I pursue toward reaching-out heights with delight.
Despite challenges, my God, in the ministry
To You I cling since You've assured blest victory.
You imputed to me Your righteousness indeed
Freeing me from guilt, meeting my spiritual need.
You direct my steps through Your instructing command
Propelling me well along holiness demand.
With Your mercy, grace, joy, peace, love that won't depart
My Lord, You're always on my mind and in my heart*.
*Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
