A letter from me to God:
Until You Loved Me
I never knew what real love was
I didn’t know what I was worthy of
The harder I looked, the less I found
A hardened heart can’t make a sound
Until you loved me
I could not try
Until you loved me
I could not cry
Tears of joy come flowing down
When the groom his bride has found
Joy I found in so few things
Tenderness to this heart brings
Washing over when you sing
Rain on me; renew like spring
Until you loved me
I could not live
Until you loved me
I could not give
And like a mirror that’s on the wall
If we look, you give love to all
I never felt a love so pure
Never had a peace so sure
Restless head for the rapture
You know you are my only cure
Until you loved me
I could not see
Until you loved me
I could not breathe
The freshest air that’s ever made
You’re the reason that I’m not afraid
