Because of You
You make a way for me to see
Through the doubts, the darkness
All those things that follow me,
Like shadows – they haunt and don’t fool
Anyone with their beautiful silhouettes,
Their silent caress, falling like the dawn
Who lingers in the heart, promising
Hope, the most gentle hope.
You make a way for me to smile
Even when I feel like I’ve wandered too far,
Away from Your love, Your kindness and the
Light that reminds me You are my heart –
You live inside me, where I can always find You,
Waiting to guide me, waiting to remind me
There is this love, this pure, sweet love
To inspire and invite me – into the joy, the joy
Abounds because You are there, preparing
Me for the victory that comes…
When I remember You are the ONE,
The One and only Son, the promise of hope,
The miracle of peace, the inspiration I need
When I am met with failure and feelings of grief,
Pain that seems to try and persuade me…
To never reach beyond this doubting, this despair,
Into the beautiful that reassures me,
You are there and You will answer all my prayers
With a kindness that is more than generous
This kindness is like the compassion that brings love
Its wisdom, its grace, its mercy and peace
All of those things that promise me…
Your love will always find me and guide me
Your love will always delight me!
