The first time I spoke your name/something in my life overflowed/because something was different about you/and it radiated the love you were shown/and I don’t know how to explain the glow I saw/other than you have the savior’s fingerprints/within every part of your being/

There have been so many things/I haven’t shared/because I knew the time wasn’t right/but I will gladly wait/for the opportune time/that I can share these words with you/but I need to wait/because I have wanted to rush things/but all these feelings I have inside me won’t change/

I didn’t know the way I came across/the moment I shook your hand/and I saw the savior’s touch/but I couldn’t comprehend the magnitude of the way I felt/because the way I feel about you cannot be put in words/cannot explain the emotions/that I have had because they are new to me/

I don’t know if you and I/will live happily ever after/but no matter what/I’ll see you in paradise/because of your faith/it has been so long/since I could tell you that/I see something in you/it takes time for me to express/the way you have made me feel inside

As I walk this road/I hold on to your hand I cannot see in front of me/I don’t care what lies behind/ All I know is that there/is someone who walks beside me/ He lets me know that he/hems me in before and after Within His arms/I find my beauty/ I cannot believe He is right/beside me every step/

I need to be beside myself/and let you walk beside me/ How many times/must I fall down/until I learn you’ll pick me up I am carried from my sorrows/upon the shoulders of your son/ I cannot believe that my savior chose to die/and lives again/ Can I face the future/not knowing where I am going/ I want to believe your word is true/and you show me more of you/

If this is what life is like/on this side of eternity/ Can I ever imagine what it must be like/a world of no hurting and no pain I can trust you to walk beside me/in my journey of the unknown/ I cannot see you/but know you are there beside me/ When I give you all I have/you tell me that you gave me your son/ My own desires fade away/there is nothing I want more than you/

If I can tell you how I feel/my actions would reflect your love/ That I would rest in your peace/when I lay my head down/ Please show me that you are beside me/as I go through the valleys/ I am not alone/as I travel in the way you have shown me/
