**********

Nobody knows the answers for a full and happy life
but Another will share them
help you deal with life’s strife.
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
You’re there, ev’rywhere, follow me, I swear;
rescue me when I need You to be there.
You lift me from the gutters,
open my eyes from their shutters …
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
There are things we want and need (but a lot’s simply greed).
You feel our body with love;
surely You are all we need.
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
You’re there, ev’rywhere, follow me, I swear;
rescue me when I need You to be there.
You lift me from the gutters,
open my eyes from their shutters …
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
From the day that I was born,
You have watched me tenderly. It’s Your shoulder I cry on
when my life has tragedies.
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
You’re there, ev’rywhere, follow me, I swear;
rescue me when I need You to be there.
You lift me from the gutters,
open my eyes from their shutters …
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
Envelope me with Your wings,
when it’s time to come back home.
I cannot live without You … so never leave me alone.
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.
You’re there, ev’rywhere, follow me, I swear;
rescue me when I need You to be there.
You lift me from the gutters,
open my eyes from their shutters …
I can’t help … loving You the way I do.

Faith doesn't feel a body, (which this Writer writes), so could these words be about a friend, or TO a mother, or....?? I guess I'm stymied at trying to figure this one out, but it could be I'm just not tuned into the right channel. I do have one suggestion, however; it's best to start at a lower level and then work up to the higher levels as you hone your skills and absorb some good advice from co-writers. God bless.

This reads like the lyrics to a song...if you haven't done it yet, find someone to set it to music!

Perhaps you intended to say "fill" our body with love??

I agree that this has the feel of song lyrics!!!
