The first that I met you, you’d think I’d stick around
But I guess I had better things to do
Always doing the things the hard way to the beat of my own drum
A chip on my shoulder and something more to prove

The second time you came to me, the sand almost gone
My world had come crashing in as I was checking out
So you took me under your wings, said it will be ok
And for the first time in my life I hadn’t any doubt

Jesus, Jesus
You’re my hope
You’re my strength
Rouse my faith
Light the way

You think after that I would have caught on
Maybe realize there’s a better way
The scars that are left, tear stains that are real
The dark and desperation alone here I am

You bless me again with a miracle, I don’t understand
Thinking I’m useless, you’ve shown up again and again
You brought light to the darkness
You brought/led me through my storms–haven’t left me yet

I will forever serve you–you’ve always been with me.
You have been faithful–over and over
Though I wasn’t ready, you patiently stood there
And lit the darkness when there was no way out
