I heard your echo in the canyon Up on the timberline You said these mountains were your invention And so was the heart of mine I heard You whisper on the water There on the mighty sea You spoke of love, deep as the ocean When You spoke of Your love for me And I am loved by the Father And I am loved by the Son And it is love that has captured The heart of this wayward one I heard Your laughter in the sunrise Amidst the morning birds A song of freedom for all creation And You sang me every word And I am loved by the Father And I am loved by the Son And it is love that has captured The heart of this grateful one I heard You singing in the silence a simple melody Words of love, oh I can hear it My Father is very fond of me.
