Let My Words Be Few
Tim Hughes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are God in heaven
And here am I on Earth
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

And I'll stand in awe of You
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

And I'll stand in awe of You
The more we see You, the more we love
And I'll stand in awe of You
You Lord
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You

We're a people who love You, Lord
And I'll stand in awe of You
Jesus
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
I'll stand in awe of You, Lord




I'll stand in awe of You
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
