Lyrics
Just let me say how much I love You
Let me speak of Your mercy and grace
Just let me live in the shadow of Your beauty
Let me see You face to face
And the earth will shake as Your word goes forth
And the heavens can tremble and fall
But let me say how much I love You
Oh my Saviour my Lord and friend
Just let me hear Your finest whispers
As You gently call my name
And let me see Your power and Your glory
Let me feel Your Spirit's flame
Let me find You in the desert
Till this sand is holy ground
And I am found completely surrendered
To You my Lord and friend
So let me say how much I love You
With all my heart I long for You
For I am caught in this passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in You
And the depth of grace the forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say how much I love You
Oh my Saviour my Lord and friend

Meaning & Inspiration
The song is a prayer of affection, surrender, and desire for God’s presence. Its language moves from speaking of mercy and grace to longing for God’s whisper, power, and glory. The image of the desert becoming holy ground suggests that even a barren place can become sacred when God is encountered there. Earth and heaven may shake, but love for the Savior remains the steady confession at the center.
Surrender is the song’s central movement. The singer seeks not merely to observe divine glory, but to be found completely given to the Lord. The closing lines ground that devotion in grace, forgiveness, and the privilege of being called God’s child. Throughout, Jesus is addressed as the Savior, Lord, and friend, giving the song both reverence and intimacy. Its prayerful language joins wonder before divine power with trust in the nearness and friendship of Christ.
