[ti:The Power of a Great Affection]
[ar:Andrew Peterson]
[al:The Burning Edge of Dawn]
[00:16.13] I cannot explain the ways of love
[00:21.96] Life cannot explain the grace of kindness
[00:27.62] There's no reason that can satisfy enough
[00:32.22] The healing of this blindness
[00:39.30] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[00:44.88] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[00:51.58] And even in the days when I was young
[00:57.60] There seemed to be a song beyond the silence
[01:03.45] The feeling in my bones was much too strong
[01:08.60] To just deny it. I can't deny this
[01:14.92] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[01:18.55] Seized by the power of a great affection
[01:21.43] Now this is the theme of my song
[01:27.45] Now I must forgive as I am forgiven
[01:33.48] And even when the shadows are long
[01:38.88] I will sing about the Son that's risen
[01:45.21] That His kingdom has no end
[01:50.68] And His kingdom has no end
[01:57.26] I will praise Him for the fields of green and gold
[02:03.10] I will praise Him for the roar of many waters
[02:08.87] I will praise Him that the secret things of old
[02:14.40] Are now revealed to sons and daughters
[02:20.48] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[02:26.57] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[02:33.52] So Father I will give You thanks and praise
[02:38.93] The Son has opened wide the gate of glory
[02:44.89] He declared your mighty love and gave His grace
[02:50.17] And I will tell his story
[02:52.93] It is my story
[02:56.51] I've been seized by the power of a great affection
[03:01.17] Seized by the power of a great affection
[03:03.86] Now this is the theme of my song
[03:08.92] Now I will forgive as I'm forgiven
[03:14.82] And even when the shadows are long
[03:20.28] I will sing about the Son that's risen
[03:26.07] That his kingdom has no end
[03:32.27] His kingdom has no end
[03:38.66] His kingdom has no end
[03:44.07] His kingdom has no end
[03:50.70] His kingdom has no end
