"YOU GAVE ME A SONG" by Jeff Leslie 7/19/92

I started with my heart
And gave You all my love
I told You in so many words
As my spirit opened up
In works I felt so helpless
I could never do enough
For after all was said and done
I'd only just begun

I gave You my life
With each morning sun
I gave You my life
You'd call and I'd come
And when I arrived
At Your heavenly throne
I gave You my life
And You gave me a song

Now all I do is sing
What more is there to do
When all I want to do is bring
My praises unto You
From now until the day
That I see You face to face
May my life be the expression
Of Your never ending grace

I gave You my life
With each morning sun
I gave You my life
You'd call and I'd come
And when I arrived
At Your heavenly throne
I gave You my life
And You gave me a song

“YOU HAVE ALWAYS LOVED ME” by Jeff Leslie 9/1/04
        Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
        before one of them came to be. Ps. 139:16 NIV

Before You spoke the Words
That made the heavens and the earth
You called me by my name
You loved my soul with all Your are
And everything You’re worth
Before I saw the day

You have always loved me
More than anybody could
You have always loved me
And gave Your Word You always would
Even death can never bother me
Your Love has broken through
Imagine what that means to me
With all Your love can do
You have always loved me
So I will always, always love You

Before You made the morning
With a portion of Your light
The plans for me were laid
You knew the days I’d stumble
And the day that I will rise
Your love has made a way

(rpt. chorus)

You are the Author
Of life from above
Who brings us to heaven
It’s the wonder of Your love

And You will always love me
More than anybody could
You will always love me
And gave Your Word You always would
Even death can never bother me
Your Love has broken through
Imagine what that means to me
With all Your love can do
You have always loved me
So I will always...

You will always love me
More than anybody could
You will always love me
And gave Your Word You always would

“YOU’RE THE ONE”   by Jeff Leslie ca.1973*

You’re the One I’ve been waiting for
For a long, long time
You’re the One I’ve been praying for
And I hope You’ll be mine
You’re the One I’ve been looking for
You’re the One Who caught my eye
You’re the One I’ve been searching for all this time
And I’ll love You till I die

You’re the One Who brightens up my day
You make the sun shine through
You’re the One Who helps me in every way
You made my whole life new
Before I knew You, I was lost
There wasn’t a soul who cared for me
Then You came and You died upon the cross
And You set me free
