I Love You This Much

You didn't have the answers, to have the questions, His son asked him A child's mind is a curious thing But when His son hugged him and said, Dad you know I love you How much do you love me Daddy didn't have to think With his arms open wide Just as far as they could go He said, as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I will give my life for you You are my flesh and blood I love you, this much She stood there crying, broken-hearted, looking up at Him And said, why are you doing this (Why are you doing this) He looks down at her, wanting to hold her and wipe her tears away But He has to leave and that's the way it is (That's the way it is) She gave her Son once last kiss With her arms open wide Just as far as they could go She said, as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I will give my life for You You are my flesh and blood I love You, this much Then they raised His broken body above the ground Drove in the nails, as the rain came down With His arms open wide Just as far as they could go He said, as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I will give My life for you You are My flesh and blood I love you, this much I love you, this much --- I Love You This Much - Leon Ferreira
