When you held me
I knew that I would live again,
And when you smiled
I knew the sun was here to stay,
When you whispered softly
that you loved me still,
I understood forever and a day.
You came to me
when I had nowhere else to turn,
You gave me strength
when I had none of my own,
God sent you as an answer
to my fervent prayer
Not to face the darkness all alone.
You let your love fall softly
on me like the rain,
feeding the trust
you had planted in my soul,
Holding me close, sheltered
in your loving arms
You keep me safe; You make me whole.
When you touch me
I know I am alive again,
And when you smile
I know the sun is here to stay,
When you whisper softly
that you love me still,
I believe in forever and a day.
