| When I was born you were my breath
|
| You warmed my skin against your breast
|
| You were my food you were my light
|
| You were my morning and my night
|
| It’s always only ever been
|
| It’s always only ever been you
|
| And then I met you on the wall
|
| You were seventeen inches tall
|
| A painted smile across your face
|
| I prayed for heaven, prayed for grace
|
| I gave my life when I was ten
|
| I prayed in tongues was born again
|
| It’s always only ever been you
|
| You were there
|
| As the world unfolded harsher fare
|
| As the spiral pared the seams
|
| And the brand new colors gleamed
|
| I could only think of you
|
| You were there
|
| Every broken heart and tangled care
|
| Jesus, Savior, Lord, and King
|
| Oh my friend and everything
|
| It was always only you
|
| I saw the writing on the wall
|
| You were a man and that was all
|
| There was no God in heaven above
|
| There was no perfect saving love
|
| It was always only ever me
|
| It was always only me
|
| And then my world was torn apart
|
| I felt a ground, I felt a heart
|
| And all the universe was one
|
| Just like a Father, Spirit, Son
|
| My heart is open once again
|
| A distant love, a forlorn friend
|
| Maybe it’s always ever been
|
| You
|
| If you are there
|
| As the world unfolds its harsher fare
|
| As the spiral pairs the seams
|
| As the holy haunts my dreams
|
| I will stay right here with you
|
| You were there
|
| Every broken heart and tangled care
|
| Jesus, Teacher, Brahman Light
|
| Son of God and Source of Life
|
| And it’s always only you |
