The Power of Your Love

Geoff Bullock’s lovely ballad, “The Power of Your Love,” is No130 in AOV NG.  The stated speed of 94 is just a little breathless and could be slowed a little.

There are many versions on the net to purchase for download (eg music notes) and there is a choral version here.

You can listen to two versions of this song here, the original Hillsong version and a remix two version, along with some interesting and funny self descriptions.  Neither is the version on the AOV NG CD, which is Geoff Bullock solo singing the original version but without the Hillsong bombast.  The solo version on the site has subtle changes to the lyrics, especially in the first verse and chorus, which I suspect indicate some emotional maturity and reflection.

Verse 1

Lord I come to You   [Lord you come to me]
Let my heart be changed, renewed   [And as my heart is changed, released]
Flowing from the grace [This miracle of grace]
That I have found in You [Gently sets me free]
And Lord I have come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love

Chorus

[You] Hold me close
[You] Let Your love surround me
Bring me near  [For you come near]
[To] Draw me to Your side
And as I wait [And in Your life]
I will rise up like the eagle [I’m rising…]
And I will soar with You
[As] Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love

Verse 2

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me
And Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love

Chorus

Verse 3

Lord, you’ve come to all

With hope that shines to light the way

As mercy soothes our souls,

The peace that flows so free. [Healing every heart]

Love that sees the tears

Overcomes our darkest fears

Grace that lifts us up

In the power of your love

Chorus

Coda

And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love (x4)
