My sonmy sonwhy are you striving

You can't add one thing to what's been done for you

I did it all while I was dying

Rest in your faithmy peace will come to you



For when I hear the praises start

I want to rain upon you

Blessings that will fill your heart

I see no stain upon you

Because you are my child and know me

To me you're only holy

Nothing that you've done remains

Only what you do for me



My childmy childwhy are you weeping

You will not have to wait forever

That day and that hour is in my keeping

The day I'll bring you into heaven



For when I hear the praises start

My childI want to rain upon you

Blessing that will fill your heart

I see no stain upon you

Because you are my child and you know me

To me you're only holy

Nothing that you've done remains

Only what you do in me



My precious bridethe day is nearing

When I'll take you in my arms and hold you

I know there are so many things that you've been hearing

But you just hold on to what I have told you



For when I hear the praises start

My brideI want to rain upon you

Blessings that will fill your heart

I see no stain upon you

Because you are my childand you know me

To me you're only holy

Nothing that you've done will remain

Only what you do for me
