Only a Shadow

The love we have for you, O Lord, is
only a shadow of your love for us; {2}
your deep abiding love.
The bread we take and eat, O Lord, is
your body broken and shared with us; {2}
the gift of your great love.

Our lives are in your hands. Our love for you
will grow, O Lord; your light in us will shine.

Our own belief in you, O Lord, is
only a shadow of your faith in us; {2}
your deep and lasting faith.
The dreams we share today, O Lord, are
only a shadow of your dreams for us; {2}
if we but follow you.
