Oh, how your love has captured me
Like a bird’s nest in a tree
I am forever protected
By Creator of Heaven and of Sea

I’ll do a dance of none but joy
For you’ve fixed me as a child’s old broken toy
My heart was weak but now I’m strong
For You’ve held my hand all night long

Struggles I thought were too great to fix
Thought I was too little and you too Big
But every step you have been there
And the littlest problem? – You treated with a sky’s length of care

Thank you my Father;
Jesus, Lord of life and Savior to Eternity
You’ve unblindfolded my eyes
And a beautiful world is what I now see.
