Oh How I Marvel

I marvel at love and the gift of your eyes 
Eyes that breathe life straight to my soul 
Eyes that lift me to the blue skys of hope
I marvel at love and the gift of your eyes
Eyes that  see me not as I am 
But Eyes that see me for what I can be   

I marvel at love and the gift of your smile
A smile that shines brighter than that of the sun
A smile that engulfs me with uplifting hope
A smile that can warm in the cold or the rain
A smile that cleanses from anger, and pain 

I marvel at love and the gift of your arms 
Arms that embrace with loves golden glow 
Arms that I long for both daytime and night , 
Arms that embrace me wherever I go. 
Arms that protect me from above or below

I marvel at love and the gift of your giving
Giving yourself with gifts true intent
No strings no questions no return ever expected
Your giving no doubt the heavens have sent
You give in the morning and all through the daytime
You give in the evenings, the gifts most Devine 

I marvel at love and the way that it frees me
Frees me to dream dreams of life more perfected 
Frees me of     my worries and cares
Frees me from nights lonely and rejected 
Frees me from my heartache , stress and despairs 

I marvel at love and the way that it heals me
Reminds me I'm not merely of flesh and of bone
Heals me from this worlds trouble and sorrow
Memories of yesterday and visions of tomorrow
I'm healed by your love ,your grace and forgiveness 
I'm healed in your presence 
my steppingstone home

Yes it's a dream but I do want to dream it
To feel like its real…. even  in this moment 
To remember your face and the smile that's across it
To drink in this moment and then live it forever 
The taste of your lips never forgotten 
The heart pounding moment when I rush once again to your loving arms, approved by your eyes,  washed with your smile , free to dream dreams as I am healed by your grace 

To relive the embrace gives hope to my world
Surely you were sent by God up above

 Oh how I marvel , yes I marvel at love
