You Gave Me

© Julie Ruffell

Life threatened to consume
A lonely heart
But then you entered
And blew fear apart
You shone with a brilliant light
Which warmed my soul
Taking one look at me
You reached out and stole
Me from the darkness

You gave me the wings
That let me soar
You gave me inner peace
And so much more
You gave me the torch
That made life shine bright
You gave me a shoulder
When I cried through the night
You gave me the strength
That let me carry on
You have me the knowledge
You'll never be gone
You gave me the truth
That set me free
But most important
You gave me back my faith in me

The days were once dark and alone
Until you entered my world
You knew how to change things
Into a new life I was hurled
I finally learned what love was
I could finally see the light
So this is what it's like
To be able to see through the night
Because you're with me

You gave me the wings
That let me soar
You gave me inner peace
And so much more
You gave me the torch
That made life shine bright
You gave me a shoulder
When I cried through the night
You gave me the strength
That let me carry on
You have me the knowledge
You'll never be gone
You gave me the truth
That set me free
But most important
You gave me back my faith in me

You gave me the wings
That let me soar
You gave me inner peace
And so much more
You gave me the torch
That made life shine bright
You gave me a shoulder
When I cried through the night
You gave me the strength
That let me carry on
You have me the knowledge
You'll never be gone
You gave me the truth
That set me free
But most important
You gave me back my faith in me

But most important...
You gave me back my faith in me
