Sing along: Only a shadow

Only a Shadow

The love, I have for You, my Lord,
Is only a shadow of Your love for me;
Only a shadow of Your love for me,
Your deep, abiding love.

My life is in Your hands,
My life is in Your hands.
My love for You will grow, my God;
Your light in me will shine.

My own belief in You, my Lord,
Is only a shadow of Your faith in me;
Only a shadow of Your faith in me,
Your deep and lasting faith.

The dream I have today, my Lord,
Is only a shadow of Your dreams for me,
Only a shadow of all that will be,
If I but follow You.

The joy I feel today, my Lord,
Is only a shadow of Your joys for me,
Only a shadow of Your joys for me,
When we meet face to face.
