Victor Barden: Music

You Are My Lord

(Victor Barden)
LYRICS:
Jesus, I want to know You as You are.
You are the Bright and Morning Star;
You are my Lord.
Oh, Master, I want to know You as my Friend,
The One Who stays with me until the end;
You are my Lord.

Heaven and earth will pass away,
But You will always remain.
You are the One Who stays closer than a brother.
You understand my pain.

Lord, may Your blood cleanse me from all sin
And give me grace to enter in;
You are my Lord.
Jesus, O the power of that name!
Lord, I will never be the same!
You are my Lord.

Heaven and earth will pass away,
But You will always remain.
You are the One Who stays closer than a brother.
You understand my pain.

Jesus, Son of God and Son of Man,
You’ve made me part of Your Father’s plan.
You are my Lord.
Jesus, Lord, I know You are the King of Kings,
And what a joy Your salvation brings.
You are my Lord.

STORY: I wrote this song in 1991 on the organ and drum machine. Once I started it came together in about 30 minutes. I won't deny the Motown influence.
