^{————————— Verse 1: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

You said You'd come, and share all my sorrows

You said You'd be there, for all my tomorrows

I came so close to sending You away

But just like You promised, You came there to stay

I just had to pray

^{————————— Chorus: ————————————————————————————————————————————————————}

And Jesus said, "Come to the water, stand by My side

I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied

I felt ev'ry teardrop, when in darkness you cried,

And I strove to remind you, that for those tears I died"

^{————————— Verse 2: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Your goodness so great, I can't understand

And dear Lord, I know that this was all planned

I know You're here now, and always will be

Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free

But Jesus why me

^{————————— Verse 3: ———————————————————————————————————————————————————}

Jesus I give You my heart and my soul

I know that without God I'd never be whole,

Saviour, You opened all the right doors,

And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores

Take me, I'm Yours
