because you came

© 2008, Ryan Dale


 

I have things I want to say to you

So before I lose this chance

let me share my thoughts with you

 

I have ways that I remember you

that you may not even know

so let me show you how you've changed my life

 

with your smile

 

with simple words that I needed to hear

things I needed to know

and you were right there to share them

 

What words could I use to describe

the broken, shattered remains

of the way that I was before

 

And I will never be the same

because you came into my life

You have in so many ways

restored my faith, renewed my heart

And I'm here to tell you that I would not be here

if you had not been there

 

Empty faces, eyes I cannot see

Do they know I'm walking here

Doors are locked and lights are out

 

Then a light disturbs the sleeping dark

The gentle touch of grace

reminds me of a love I cannot see

 

that you give

 

that shows itself in all that you do

and all that you are

and I can't resist the joy

 

The kind that finds me inside

and lifts up my head

and places me on my feet

 

And I will never be the same

because you came into my life

You have in so many ways

restored my faith, renewed my heart

And I'm here to tell you that I would not be here

if you had not been there

my friend

I will never be the same

because you came into my life

You have in so many ways

restored my faith, renewed my heart

And I'm here to tell you that I would not be here

if you had not been there

 

I'm here now, thanks to you

my friend
 


Proverbs 27:9, 17

 



There are people in our lives that have a lasting effect on us. They're there when we need an understanding friend, support, encouragement. You may never know what kind of impact you have on other people. We are all human, and we are all connected.
