How sweet it is to be loved by you, O God!
You are the warm shelter when we need to hide;
You are our praise through every stress and pain,
every delight and every rest.
Your faithfulness and love are beyond words:
We stop to give you thanks.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, O God!
Your love gives purpose and definition to our lives;
Your love brings peace to our sleep.
Your love calls us from self-reproach and shame
to boldness and fullness of life. You alone are our God:
We stop to give you thanks.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, O God!
Like sugar to the soul,
Like honey to the lips,
Like candy on the tongue.
How sweet it is to be loved by you, O God!
A psalm based on Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You” (written by Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland).
