Friend and King to me
My refuge, my comfort
You're ev'rything to me
And this heart is on fire for You
Yes, this heart is on fire for You
You alone are Counselor
Everlasting Father, Mighty in the heavens
Never to forget the love
You displayed upon a cross
Son of God, I thank You
Prince of Peace, I love Your name
Savior, Healer
Just and true are You
Now reigning in glory
Most high and living God
This heart is in awe of You
Yes, this heart is in awe of You
