The Power Of A Great Affection - Andrew Peterson

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
