You

verse 1: 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 verse 2: 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 verse 3: 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 Interlude: | | verse 4: 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
