Baruch atah Adonai

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

The greatest of these is love

Baruch atah Adonai
Because of you I’ll never die
Because your love can make me see
And give me life and set me free

Baruch atah Adonai
You put up with me; this stubborn guy

Baruch atah Adonai
Your mercy and grace lift me on high

Baruch atah Adonai
Your love is so deep it makes me cry

Baruch atah Adonai
I love you
