Because You Love Me 

I Can Look With Quiet Faith 



Beyond Life's Lightning Flash 

And Thunder Roll 



And Glimpse The Rainbow Arch 

Like Some Angelic Wraith 

While Impatient Years Exact Demanding Toll 



Because You Love Me 

My Soul Can Soar With Eagle Wings 

Above My Crowding Failures 

And Disenchanting Deed 



Explore Beyond Life's Sunset 

Where The Heavenly Choir Sings 

Climb Nobly To The Summit 

Where Love Alone Can Lead 



Because You Love Me 

You May Still Perchance Forgive 



Young Love's Towering Expectations 

Laid Now To Rest 



Those Unfulfilled Dreams 

Which Somehow Still Must Live 



Cloistered Beneath The Portals 

Of A Matron Breast 



Because You Love Me 

Milestones Are Like Jewels Fair 

Priceless Treasures 

From God's Sacred Vault Of Time 



I Thank You For The Beauty 

And Meaning In The Life We Share 



And Praise God For The Blessing 

Of This Love Sublime
