With all my mind, my strength, and my song
I love You, Oh yes I do
I will sing it for the world to know
That I love you, yes I know
Hold my hand, never let go
Never let go, I’m Yours (Repeat)
You are my Father
You are my Healer
You are my joy
You are my strength
I’m Your’s, oh I’m Yours
Hold my hand, never let go
Never let go, I’m Yours
