My Lord invited me
When my life was long in aspirationMy Lord invited me to see His Eye.
When my life was long in dedication
My Lord invited me to feel His Heart.
When my life was long in surrender
My Lord invited me to sit at His Feet.
When my life was long in gratitude
My Lord invited me to sing with Him.
