COUNTLESS

More times than I could count
You’ve been my source of power
Through every midnight tear
And every waking hour…

More times than I could count
You made my spirit smile
When all I felt was pain
Through trial after trial…

More times than I could count
You picked me up again
And carried me, your child,
Back to your heart again…

More times than I could count
You listened to my pleas
The maker of the stars--
And still you cherish me !

More times than I could count
I’ve walked away from you
But still you hold my hand
It’s just something that you do…

More times than I could count
You’ve been that ragged man
Who stood beside the road
Holding out his hand…

More times than I could count--
I could always count on you
And I still don’t understand--
But it's something that you do!

LOVE NEVER FAILS
