Lyrics The power of a great affection Andrew Peterson

 864

The power of a great affection


I cannot explain the ways of love
Life cannot explain the grace of kindness
There's no reason that can satisfy enough
The healing of this blindness

I've been seized by the power of a great affection
I've been seized by the power of a great affection

And even in the days when I was young
There seemed to be a song beyond the silence
The feeling in my bones was much too strong
To just deny it. I can't deny this

I've been seized by the power of a great affection
Seized by the power of a great affection

Now this is the theme of my song
Now I must forgive as I am forgiven
And even when the shadows are long
I will sing about the Son that's risen

That His kingdom has no end
And His kingdom has no end

I will praise Him for the fields of green and gold
I will praise Him for the roar of many waters
I will praise Him that the secret things of old
Are now revealed to sons and daughters

I've been seized by the power of a great affection
I've been seized by the power of a great affection

So Father I will give You thanks and praise
The Son has opened wide the gate of glory
He declared your mighty love and gave His grace
And I will tell his story
It is my story

I've been seized by the power of a great affection
Seized by the power of a great affection

Now this is the theme of my song
Now I will forgive as I'm forgiven
And even when the shadows are long
I will sing about the Son that's risen

That his kingdom has no end
His kingdom has no end
His kingdom has no end
His kingdom has no end
His kingdom has no end

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
