Lover Of My Soul

(Verse 1, the Centurion)
I'm the one,
I drove the nails,
That tore into His flesh.
I'd cursed at Him
And mocked His name,
And caused Him so much pain.
Yet in all of His agony,
He looked on me in love.

(Chorus 1, the Centurion)
So, how could I not choose Him?
How could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Instrumental Interlude)

(Verse 2, Mary Magdalene)
I was there,
I saw Him bleed,
And I heard His cry for help.
All my life
Was spent on me,
Yet it left me bound in chains.
Yet in all of His suffering,
He somehow knew my need.

(Chorus 2, Mary Magdalene)
So, how could I not choose Him?
How could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Instrumental Interlude with Key Modulation)

(Chorus, Duet)
How could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Second Key Modulation)

(Repeat Chorus, Duet and Ending)
How could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love,
How could I refuse to love,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

i belong to a small church in hyderabad, india. i found this song and downloaded the accompaniment track - it is a lovely composition. those who heard the song were moved, the singers felt the words deep in their hearts and were able to sing and reach out to others. the accompaniment too is absolutely brilliant.God bless you both abundantly and everyone else in your ministry. may He use each one of you for His glory and praise. shashi (shashisingha_AT_yahoo_DOT_com) 2007-04-12
