Once I believed
That my prayers had all been answered
Thought I'd found the girl
Of all my hopes and dreams
Once I believed
She was the only one for me
Now my heart's been torn apart
Right at the seams
She pierced my very soul
And she left a gaping hole
When she said, "no"
And now my head hangs low
As I walk this lonesome street
All alone
So Lord, pour Your comfort down
And tell me that You love me
'Cause I need to know that someone loves me
Just the way I am / And I know You'll be here with me
Forever, yeah yeah
Chorus:
And my Lord will never leave me
He will never forget my name
He is standing so close to me
That I can almost see His face
And I know He'll always love me
Just the way I am
And He'll be right here beside me
Forever, yeah yeah
I did not believe
In You or what You stood for
Thought You were just a man
With crazy dreams
I did not believe
Would not accept Your love for me
Would have rather seen You
Hung upon that tree
I pierced Your very soul
And I left a gaping hole
When I said, "no"
And watched Your head hang low
As You walked that lonesome street
All alone
And You laid Your life down
To tell me that You love me
And now I know that Someone loves me
Just the way I am
And I know You'll be here with me
Forever, yeah yeah
Chorus
Bridge:
Thank You, Lord, for waiting for me
Through times that I hurt You
I understand Your heart more clearly
Now that mine's been broken too
Chorus
