For you are mine, the Savior said.
If you will hear and you will see.
Accept from me the broken bread,
the gift of all eternity.
I came into this world to be
a light that leads you on ahead.
So seek for truth; it sets you free.
For you are mine, the Savior said.
Along the path you choose to tread,
if you will come and follow me,
I'll take from you your darkest dread,
if you will hear and you will see.
My gospel conquers misery
and makes a joyful heart instead.
Receive this gift of charity,
accept from me the broken bread.
And once your hungry soul has fed,
new eyes will see with clarity
this offering before you spread,
the gift of all eternity.
Come, take my hand and walk with me.
That burden that you bear, it's shed.
Bright hope has won the victory.
Pure love is where your path has led ...
for you are mine.
