you are not alone.

looking back on my life,
seeing all i've done wrong,
through all the troubles i've faced,
i've come this far along.

i know i wasn't alone.
someone was holding my hand,
guiding every footstep,
and, all in all, helping me stand.

i don't know why He did it.
i'm not sure why He came.
but He died to show me His love,
even though it caused great shame.

through every storm,
i knew that He was there,
saying "come, my child,
give me all your cares."

my cry is not in vain.

traces in my mind,
things i can't erase,
stand before me now,
face to face.

but then i hear Your voice
saying "Lay it all down.
its not yours anymore.
give it to Me now."

and i can't erase anything that i've done,
oh but You can, and You do.
and i can't take away the pain,
oh but You can, and You do.

You save me from everything,
everything i've done wrong.
You give my heart a melody,
and i wanna sing You my song.

You can erase anything that i've done.
oh, You can, and You do.
and You can take away the pain.
oh, You can, and You do.

if i'm up or if i'm down,
on my knees or high above the ground.
oh Lord, i know you hear my cry.

You erase everything that i've done.
oh, You can, and You do.
and You take away all the pain.
oh, You can, and You do.

arrangement of fidelity.

no one knows your heartsong
better than i do.
i've memorized every word,
each note and every change of key.
over and over,
the lines i have rehearsed,
forever hoping that someday,
i'll get to sing you all the words.
i sit and wait in silence,
replaying the melody in my head,
wondering if you'll ever pass by
and ask me to dance;
to dance to the song of love,
for there is none greater.
no chorus, no bridge,
has ever been sounded so sweet.
so for now, i'll just sit tight.
i'll wait my whole life
if thats how long it takes,
cause, i'll have you know,
i am determined,
you and i are meant to be.
so, this song i will continue
to sing, to play, to live.
i'll master in entirely,
and then, some glorious day,
our heartsongs will collide.
i'll sing yours,
and you'll sing mine.
