When I Loved Thee

When I loved thee I claimed thou art given For I asked thee from our Almighty Father above Who loves thee most, the love I hold won't even His blessing is worth the lifetime I have. When I loved thee time stopped that instant I remember feeling this heart of mine beating Faster than I would have run miles distant I can hear it like a hum in the night's keeping. When I loved thee I gave myself away To thee alone, I dedicate the rest of my days And to the fulfillment of the promise I gave To the One who answer the prayer I made.
