Just when I thought I had lost You
'Cause I put the Book back on the shelf
And hid in the shadows of myself
Somehow I kept coming across You
Even in valleys of despair
Your voice was speaking to me there
And you said
Child! Oh, child! Give me your burdens
'Cause my hands are strong enough to hold
All of the doubts that flood your soul
And faith that's raw is not always certain
So blessed are you when you believe
All of the things you cannot see
And take my hand and let me guide you
I know what it's like to be alone
I walked a path you've never known
And feel my words burning inside you
They'll be a candle in the dark
Keeping the shadows from your heart
Child! Oh, child! I'm gonna reach you
Even when you're too lost to pray
Even when your faith slips away
In the end I'm gonna meet you
Just when your feet fall out of line
Just when you think you're left behind
I'm gonna leave the ninety-nine
I'm gonna find you every time
I changed your heart with just a word
I'll speak again to change your mind
I wasn't scared to bear your hell
So I think I'll bear your doubts just fine
God! My God! The way that you keep me
When daily I put You on a shelf
And hide in the shadows of myself
You're the only thought that moves me completely
Though I may stumble down this road
I know Your gracious arms will lead me safely home
