Yes I Would
By Effie Darlene Barba
As Chosen, Redeemed, Beloved Child of God
Wherever I go, wherever I’ve trod
He’s been there to guide each step of my way
Clutching my hand so that I can’t go astray
Through moments despairing and moments of glee
His presence surrounding and covering me
Protecting and healing each wound of my heart
No matter what happened, he ne’er did depart
Whene’er I fell in the mud and the mire
As hell bent I ran after selfish desire
So gentle and patient, with eyes filled with love
He’d stretch out His hand from heaven above
How can it be after all that I’d done?
He willingly sacrificed His only son
To ransom my soul—to give me new life
Despite all the times, I gave Him such strife
Oh that I could love Him even half as I should
I’d seek and I’d savor His Will, Yes I would
I never would doubt Him, I’d never be sad
Trusting in His word, I’d always be glad
Humbly, I’d bow down to worship my King
Forever and ever His praises to sing
If only I loved Him even half as I should
I’d seek and I’d savor His will, Yes I would
Oh, precious dear Father in your presence I stand
And quietly listen for your voice command
Let the love of your heart and your Glory Divine
Pour forth to the world through these hands of mine
