I was a fragile thing, crawling on the floor
Just to reach the other side.
I was looking for something beautiful
And it was You every time.
I felt You first, You even called me by name.
And You were the one who kept me alive.
You were in my grieving and my sorrow,
You were at the center of my every delight,
You were the quiet, sacred moments I’d find.
You were my comfort, my soul’s missing piece,
You held my heart in Your hands
And You were the keeper of my life.
You were the painted sky – pink, gold and blue,
You were the warm sun, the petals blooming,
The endless horizon line.
The mystery of the universe, the glowing moon at night,
Surrounded by tiny specks of light.
You were everything I could see and You filled my dreams,
You were the assurance that everything would someday be made right.
You were my constant friend, every swell of my heart;
You were the only wisdom I could find.
Every breath, every desire, and every hope of forever.
I was waiting so long, I was lifting my eyes,
Reaching for the hand that shaped the skies;
I went to the end of everything I knew,
And every day brought new glimpses of You.
Now everything is clear and time is a distant memory.
Every hope made complete as I cross the sparkling sea,
The still surface of melted diamonds reflecting Your light.
Rays of bright gold bursting from Your heart,
The heavens around me waiting on Your word.
You were with me before, it was always You.
But now all my desperate longing is fulfilled,
My yearning is forever through.
